Gansleit Hotel

We had one the best skiing holidays ever at this hotel. Took two children and booked a family room which was perfect. Steve and Rosi give you such a great welcome, the kids especially,the food was excellent, even a special menu for the girls. Loved the sanctuary of the spa area, particularly the jacuzzi with a view of the mountains.
Would highly recommend this hotel!

Definitely recommend this hotel as the place to stay in if you are visiting Soll. Extremely welcoming, hard working family who had put a lot of thought into ensuring that their guests had a first class stay - seemed to us, that it was easily deserving of a 4* rating.
Food portions did not appear massive, but we were completely satisfied at the end of every meal and were quite content with quality rather than quantity fayre. I had the vegetarian menu (which was great) and absolutely loved the salad bar course. Our teenagers eat practically everything on offer - a high acolade indeed as this is not often the case at home!
The hotel is very attractively laid out, everywhere is spotlessly clean and the "wellness" area was great at the end of the day to relax with other guests and enjoy the sauna, steam room etc.
We particularly enjoyed the family atmosphere of the hotel, Steve, Rosi, together with Anni and Hans, Robbi and Chrisi - entertained so well, to make it a memorable holiday for all the right reasons!
We hope to return in the Summertime and enjoy some walking in this beautiful area.
Regards Sally, Keith, Scott & Alex Clarke

A fantastic place to stay!!! We were made welcome from the minute we arrived to the moment we left. A really friendly atmosphere at all times. The food was excellent with good choice and a chance to try the local quisine also. The town of Soll is beautiful and although this was our first visit, it certainly won't be out last. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Austria and the Gansleit!!

This was our fourth vist to Soll and our first, but certainly not last at the Gansleit.
We were made extremely welcome by the whole family and staff who made us feel more like friends than guests.
The hotel is second to none, close to the centre of the village and ideal for touring the Tirol. The food was superb and the menu excellent (a choice of three main courses each evening) giving a good indication of Tirolean cuisine.
We are looking forward to our next stay at the Gansleit.

Despite previous positive reviews, we have been very disappointed with the hotel, especially the food.
The breakfast is okay, with choice of cereal, home made bread, cheese and ham and with welcoming croissants and home made cake for one day. The evening meal is very disappointing. Every single day there is no choice for starter apart from clear soup. There are three main courses that you can choose from, one of them is vegetarian, but the other two courses are very basic. The portions are very small too. The drinks are expensive, with tap water charged 1 euro a glass. If you like your food, don't stay at this hotel.
The owner is very friendly and helpful though.
Overall, we were disappointed that we had chosen to stay at this hotel. We won't be back!

The food was perfect, the view was fabulous and the staff were so caring and helpful!
One of the best holidays I've ever been on.
If you're going to Soll then I would definatly recommend staying at the Gansleit hotel.
It has a very unique relaxation room.
We also discovered that it had a fitness room and a massaging room.
The hotel also had a brilliant sauna.

What a great place to stay. We were a party of 6, 4 adults, and 2 teenagers.
The food was that good that the teenagers only turned their noses up at one meal and Rosi went out of her way to make them something else.
Accommodation was always clean, and we were kept amused at what shape the bedding would be made into after being made up in the mornings.
A nice, heated boot / drying room on the ground floor is a must for a skiing holiday, and gave us warm clothes to put on in the mornings. Ski storage in a hut across the road and the ski bus on the doorstep.
Steve, Rosi, Opa and Oma just couldn't be nice enough. Nothing seemed too much trouble. (oh, and Steve skis you into the ground if you let him).
Thanks to all the staff. We are definitely going back.

For a couple looking for a mixture of relaxing, with some activity and fun this definitely ticked all the boxes. The food was a little strange as the dishes were mainly Austrian but I have to say the atmosphere of the place was really refreshing.
Steve encouraged people to sit together and make new friends which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. The hotel was clean and well kept. The family owners definitely take pride in the place and work hard to ensure you have a good holiday.
Steve did guided ski runs on some days which were great as I am a learner and my partner a good skier. This meant he could go on challenging runs whilst I attended ski school. The new friends we met at dinner, we also came across in many of the bars around the town.
Found the Soll area very friendly. There is a great facility to leave skis and boots near the lifts, where they will be kept safe and warm (boots) each night, there is a small charge but it is well worth it. Soll has plenty of lockers at lifts on the piste and toilet facilities are good. Would definitely recommend.

If you have read the previous listings then there isn't much to add as this hotel and its staff is a joy to behold. The hotel is clean and tidy in every way from the moment you arrive till you leave it’s a pleasant experience. The food is very good and it’s made by the family.
On site with product tracing back to the supplier on the menu. They take no for an answer if you insist that you are full after your meal, you are allowed into the kitchens to see your food being made so you know how your food is being made to the health standards. My partner has dietary needs which can be hard to fill at the best of times but Steve and the team not only knew the condition but were able to cater and inform us as to which dishes were suitable and when the regular dishes were unsuitable they made special ones for my partner at no extra cost to us.
The family run hotel is just that you feel at home even as a guest, people mix and chat and no wonder people return year after year it’s that good! The hotel is close to almost everything but far enough away to get good nights sleep.

The resort itself is small with a very limited number of shops; we counted 19 in total but we could be wrong. The beginners slope is a cow field! So if you're timid then it’s ok for you. The skiing is good for beginners and intermediates look out for the run home, run is so much fun to do.
I am only sorry that I didn’t go with Steve on his ski days as time did not allow it but I will next time as we will be returning to Soll and to the above hotel as its too good not to.

As a single traveller and a vegetarian I'm used to being put in the broom cupboard and grudgingly fed chips all week. The Gansleit was a refreshing change. Lovely room with a view across the valley and really tasty vegetarian food which had taken considerable thought and effort to provide.
Being family owned and run, the hotel has a lively and very friendly atmosphere. Plenty of advice on-hand on local walks, climbs, cycle rides etc. Where else would you be escorted to your coach and waved off by the owner and his family?
