Retro Hotel Igelheim

Very good location not far from cross-country skiing routes and very helpfull owner. Breakfast was nice. All facilities are clean.

My wife was missing a piece of something sweet in the breakfast offer - really not a major issue :-).

Excellent spot surrounded by wonderful mountains. Not far from climbing areas. Delicious breakfasts.

The hotel has a strong family guesthouse feeling to it. From the outside it looks like a typical house/hotel in the region, friendly, with lots of flowers in the windows and on the balconies. The whole interior design and decoration is hedgehog-themed, and there is an army of hedgehog figurines in the common areas (our room also had a big crocheted hedgehog). The hotel has its own small parking place for its guests. Our room was located on the 3rd floor, and had a lovely balcony (with flowers) with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. The room was clean, the WIFI worked really well. TV channels were available in several languages. The bathroom was clean, but there were some slight issues with it (see under “-“). There was liquid hand soap in the bathroom, but no other toiletries. We received 2 towels per person. Breakfast was included in the price of the room. The owners were helpful towards my vegan diet, and upon my request made rice milk available during breakfast, as well as sliced up extra fruits and told me which pastries do not contain animal ingredients. Gluten free (separately packaged) bread would also have been available, had I needed it. Daily news about nearby venues and programmes were available on all tables during breakfast. The owners also provided information about programmes and places worth visiting, and for some of these they were even able to offer special discounts. Bad Mitterndorf is a nice place to stay at for those who would like to explore nearby attractions by car, as the location is nice, but prices here are more reasonable than in bigger cities in the nearby.

The stall shower did not really drain well, and left you standing in a puddle upon longer usage (e.g. washing hair). A bulb above the mirror was blinking and sometimes went out completely. The minibar is rather loud when it is in operation, so if you can't sleep with background noise, don't plan to store stuff that needs to be refrigerated in it :) There was no doorknob-sign for "no cleaning needed", and there was daily cleaning. We would have preferred if our room wasn’t cleaned during our stay (unnecessary for 2-3 day-long stays).

Clean, comfortable place with a very tasty breakfast and a large funny hedgehogs' collection.
