Romantikhotel Zell am See

Stayed here for a week in July 2005. Hotel is very well situated in Zell am See, near to the lakeside and also shopping area. Hotel staff were very friendly, especially the hotel manageress, who went out of her way to talk to you and ask if everything was OK. Room was quite large by european standards with balcony, phone and tv. Stayed here on half board basis, buffet breakfasts were very good with a variety of food to suit everyone. Even though there was a choice of three different set menus for dinner, on occasions I struggled to find something that I could eat. Each menu has five courses, which can take more than an hour to get through. No english speaking tv channels on the in room satellite tv, which I found to be rather odd. Although they did have CNN in the lounge area downstairs. On the whole this hotel was above average, but in hindsight I would have preferred to have had bed and breakfast instead of half board.
