Moedlinger Hotel

Just back from two weeks staying at the Moedlinger and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Well fed with good food and first class service by a very friedly and helpful staff. Room accomocation excellent. Would recomend to anyone. Thank you Herbert, Melanie and Anne-Marie and those behind the scenes.

My partner and I stayed at the Moedlinger Hotel over the Christmas holidays last year. Everything about the hotel was excellent. The christmas meal was fantastic and all the members of staff were very pleasant and couldn't do enough for you. It was great as far as location goes as we caught the bus in the morning and walked back in the afternoon stopping in the bar for an afternoon/evening drink with the friendly bar-tender. Most of the time we were exhausted from the skiing therefore just stayed in but when we did venture out on christmas eve the atmosphere both in and around the hotel was perfect for the time of year. The skiing was excellent as he is a ski instructor and I am in training to become one it had a good range of runs. We especially enjoyed the off piste. We were a little nervous about going away at christmas for the first time but found that after staying at the Moedlinger Hotel it has made us want to return there next year.

Food was poor standard..
Breakfast - Less and less choice each day, as they ran out of things and didn't bother to replace them
Dinner - Soup - extremely salty
Main dish - far too salty. Had turkey (left over from previous night) as fondu - very bizzare - not particular good idea having raw poultry next to beef!
Salad Bar - less choice as the week went on, but ok otherwise
Dessert - perfect if you like squirty cream, jam and icing sugar every night!
The hotel is great if you don't plan to eat there - it's got a real charm about it, and the rooms are basic, but clean and functional. You just get the impression that they do everything they can to save a few pennies, even if it means not providing a good service.
The sauna was great - no complaints at all.

My wife and I stayed 2 weeks in this hotel and we both enjoyed our time here, both in the hotel and the resort. Hotel is located 5 minutes outside the village centre, it is smart and kept clean throughout, bedrooms are a good size with usual amenities for Austria. Towels changed daily, bed linen weekly.
Breakfast is the usual continental standard with bread rolls, cheese, sausage etc + cereals, toast and sometimes croissants. Evening meal has choice of main meal + soup, salad bar and dessert and was generally a good standard and enough for most appetites. Tendency to use a little too much salt in cooking, but otherwise no complaints. Free packed lunch and free after dinner coffee saves on the budget too. Owner and his wife are very friendly, as was Katya, the very nice waitress from St. Petersburg, all of whom speak very good english.
Soll and the surrounding area had plenty of lifts to take you to the top of the mountains that give breathtaking views of the alps and of the local villages almost 2000 metres below - a weekly pass costs around 42 Euros and is well worth the investment. The free "Kaiserjet" bus service runs 4 or 5 times a day to the adjacent villages of Going, Ellmau and Scheffau, another good saving. Air Europa flight from Bristol could be a lot better, Spanish plane with spanish crew, service below average in my experience, but otherwise a very enjoyable holiday hotel and location. If considering Soll, I would definitely recommend this hotel which is at the upper end of the 3 star rating in our opinion.

Just returned from holiday at the Modlinger. What a fantastic hotel. Food excellent and plentiful. Bedooms large and spotless. Reception smart and decorated beautifully. Location perfect with outstanding views. Staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Free mountain bikes. Hotel should be higher rated than 3 star.
Can't wait to return next year.
Thank you.

A very nice hotel in a quiet location. Very clean with towels etc. renewed daily. Staff very friendly and helpful. Buffet continental breakfast had a selection of cheeses and meats plus yogurts and cereals. Evening meals are waiter service. The food was not to everyones taste as it tended to be quite salty and times between courses were sometimes to long for some guests. Neither of these bothered me, I'm on holiday and relaxed.
It was my wife and I's first visit to Austria, but won't be our last. Soll is a lovely village with stunning views, plenty of walks and cycleways,and a cable car that takes you to the top of the mountain in two stages. Stage one has a themed play area for children and the young at heart, and also stunning views and plenty of walks.Something for everyone. Stage two takes you to the top of the mountain were you can enjoy a meal or drink[not expensive] or once again just take in the stunning views.
Would I go to Austria again, YES
Would I stay at the Modlinger Hotel again,YES

I booked direct with Herr Moedlinger, via phone/email, to join my 6 friends (they were already booked via Neilsson, but Neilsson had no more rooms in their allocation) at 2 weeks' notice.
It's a traditional Tirolean style family-owned/run hotel. Rooms were fairly spacious, with bath/shower/WC, most with balcony.
Mr Moedlinger may seem a bit 'cold' to some, but he's just very business-like, and very accomodating! Mrs Moedlinger is English.
The half-board was very good: good quality 3-course evening meals and good selection for buffet brekfast.
All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially if you made the effort with your German!
There's a bar on the ground floor, plus TV, pay-per-surf WWW machine, etc; ski store outside.
Ski Bus stops right outside, as it's a mile walk to the ski lift. If you use th STOLL ski hire/storage, get the bus there, and jump on the button lift to the gondola instead!
The village-centre is a 3 min walk away.
All very scenic and pretty.
I'll be back in 2009!!!

Hotel Modlinger was an excellent base for our Ski trip. The short walk to the village centre and ski lifts was just enough for me to stretch my long legs before a hard day on the piste.
Mr Modlinger is the proprietor of this fine establishment and he is a true gentleman in every respect. All the staff were very helpful and the food and wine was excellent. The fondue evening was particularly good because I got to sit with the kids and cook meat in a pan of boiling hot oil. Brilliant!
The atmosphere in the bar is relaxed and just right for those who haven't got the energy to hit the town and/or parents.
Some of the guests were a little bit odd but I’ve come to expect that nowadays, the not so young girl with the imaginary dog on a lead was bit bizarre and highly amusing. The nearly grown man with the paper airplane habit was more worrying.
All in all a very good hotel in a good ski resort.

Lovely hotel - clean and well kept - well situated for everything in Soll - Nice bar and area to relax in with plenty of soft comfortable chairs and tables.
Food was well presented and tasty - very nice salad bar during meals - friendly waiting and bar staff - time restrictions on larger groups - hard to get everyone together at same times.
Rooms - well presented, clean and daily laundry change - but bathroom with no anti-slip mats in shower can be tricky to get into and out of bath/shower. Lovely views from balcony.
Early breakfast for those leaving very early on last day and a light snack for those arriving late gave a nice touch.
Overall a very nice stay and would stay here again.

We stayed at Moedlinger early Jan 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel is very clean and has a good 3 star feel to it (we've been to some horrible supposedly 3 star hotels before!).
Rooms - We had the smaller rooms in the hotel but they were still very spacious. Maids service every day with fresh towels, and we had a fabulous view (albeit of grassy fields as had no snow!). Bathrooms were nice and clean, with a shower rather than a bath.
Food - Couldn't find anything to complain about at all. Both breakfast and evening meal was always enjoyed with plenty of food to be eaten!! And all of it was lovely!!
Bar - Nice comfy bar, which swings between quiet and manic!! Friendly atmosphere and very relaxing... oh, and the sauna (which was fab) is down here too.
Location/Facilities - Located away from the centre of town which we preferred. Is only a 3-5minute stroll to all the pubs/restaurants, but you get to sleep at night without hoards of drunk people walking home past your room!!
You can walk to the ski lift as is only a 10 min stroll, or the ski bus stops at the front door. Alternatively, a taxi is only 5 euros if you can' be bothered to do either! There is a good secure ski locker area with boot warmers to dry your boots on overnight. Fab!!
All in all, if anyone asked me to recommend the Moedlinger, then I wouldn't hesitate. We will def be going back there, but hopefully when there's snow!
