Fantastic hotel. I cannot understand one of the comments written here saying it was 1/10. This is our second time at the hotel. We have very high standards at home and my partner is a gourmet cook and we think the hotel was super clean, Super friendly staff, Full board basis when you pack your own picnic style lunch, adequate rooms with a fabulous shower(and I am 6ft) and great food!. The location is great, the town has lots to offer whether it is walking you like, biking, shopping, etc... It is all in Kitzbuhel or the surrounding area. Klaus and his team have certainly got a tight ship with the aim of making a perfect holiday for all his guests. He is the perfect host. The food is always varied and there is always plenty of it. Soup, salads, good main course and a refreshing end to the meal for the sweet toothed. You also get a free small beer or wine with every meal. Yes there is a walk to the Kitzbuhel Horn cable car station but how is that the fault of the hotel? Book a hotel near that cable car station if that was what you wanted. The Hannenkamm Cable car station is literally a couple of minutes walk and the train station next to it! What a place. This is our secret hideaway too! People who have complained must have been unlucky that week or just like complaining. Try it, I am sure you will want to visit again and again...

A lovely hotel, good food, good location, ruined only by one member of staff who made little effort to be friendly or helpful. She did in fact manage to make most people feel uncomfortable with her dissapproving glare, and took of advantage of every opportunity to replace her thin smile with a scowl. Rooms were adequate, if not a little small. Well situated for walks into town (and thus avoiding unfriendly barmaid) and within easy 'booted and suited' walk to ski lift (300 metres).

Have been many times to Hotel Edelweiss including walking holiday in the summer. Klaus and Veronique are very friendly helpful, professional and they are backed up by a very friendly competent team.
The breakfast buffet is great, the evening meal is a delight. The rooms are clean, quiet, comfortable with great views.
Nothing is too much trouble for them to make your stay a lovely experience. You meet many other guests who have also returned again and again.

We stayed at the hotel from 17th March 2007, there was 4 adults in our party (2 couples). It was our first experience of boarding within Europe outside of France. This hotel is fantastic, food was great and Klaus and his team were great, very friendly with superb service.
The hotel is about 200 metres from the Kitzbuhel Hannkannen lifts, at the lift you can get the ski bus to other places like Pass Thurn, or get the Ring bus to the Kitzbuhel Horn (quieter area), good for boarding, this takes about 10 minutes.
At the hotel, you can make a packed lunch in the morning from the buffet which cuts down on the lunchtime expenditure (more money for beer).
The conditions were like summer when we arrived in resort which was worrying, however by the second day we had 2 foot of fresh snow covering the whole area including the resort itself.
We found ourselves staying in the hotel most nights because it was so good, we went to the main Thomson hotel for quiz night on the Sunday and I was so glad we chose Edelweiss as it was in a different league.
I would recommend this hotel for families / couples looking to go boarding / skiiing in an exclusive resort whilst wanting excellence service and hospitality.
If I could move this hotel to the French alpes then I would be a happy man, would teach the french a few things about running a hotel.

We stayed at the Hotel Edelweiss, arrived 24th Feb 2007.
The rooms are tiny, bathroom only had a shower and was too small to stand up in (I am only 5ft 6in tall).
We complained but nothing was done and for the rest of the holiday, the staff were very unfriendly.
Also the evening meal was poor.
We stayed for 7 nights, but only ate in the hotel twice. Other guests we also met said the same thing. There were plenty of places to eat out, prices are the same as at home and of course there is McDonalds!
The hotel is located well for the Hannenkham Lift but quiet a trek for the Kitzbuler Horn lift. It takes 10 mins to walk to the centre of town, taking the short trek along the train line (which is unlit at night and not ideal).
We were very lucky as it snowed a couple of times during our stay and we had perfect conditions by Wednesday.
I would not be recommending the Edelweiss hotel or Crystal Holidays as I found both unhelpful, and had the potential to ruin our holiday, but we did not let this happen.
We just got on with it ourselves and had a great time.

Loved the Edelweiss. Rooms are comfortable - not luxurious, but perfectly adequate with balcony and great views. Staff are very friendly and professional. Breakfast buffet was really good and we really enjoyed the evening meal. If your idea of a good meal is McDonalds, it's maybe not for you, but for good traditional Austrian food and ambience it's great. Hotel has a very comfortable lounge and bar area. Location is close to Hannenkamm lift station - a short 5 min walk - and close to town - an easy 10 mins walk for that early evening pre-dinner gluhwein. Really enjoyed overall stay, returning in Jan 2008 and no doubt in future years too.

Staying in the Edelweisse was the cap on a wonderful holiday in Kitzbuhel. The staff of the Edelweiss were warm friendly and full of good humour.
We were six and had a wonderful time in Kitzbuhel. The accommodation was fine, the food was wonderful - we had a standard breakfast - I liked the porridge best, a packed lunch everyday and in the evening when we returned home tired and exhausted after an active day we had a lovely five course meal with lovely wine.
Congratulations to the Edelweiss. Strongly recommended.
