Sankt Johann im Pongau Apartments

Preface: For a detailed review of my stay at Badeschloss Bad Gastein, please watch my comprehensive video review on my YouTube channel Truly Excellent Hotels & More or visit my website (link in my profile). Nestled on Straubinger Platz in the Austrian spa town of Bad Gastein, the historic Badeschloss Bad Gastein, originally built in 1791, has been magnificently restored and reopens in December 2023, combining timeless elegance with modern luxury. The interior design by BWM Designers & Architects is playful and colorful, paying tribute to traditional bathing culture while seamlessly integrating modern elements. The hotel features 102 individually designed rooms and suites spread across the charming historic building and the sleek, modern 13-story tower that complements the timeless architecture. During my stay, I stayed in a 23 square meter standard double room in the tower, which, while a bit compact, features a wooden floor, a king-size bed, two chairs with a small table, an open wardrobe and a flat-screen TV. Room service is offered every other day and the amenities of the rooms and suites are complemented by daily complimentary water, a Nespresso machine, tea-making facilities and free WiFi. The tiled bathrooms feature a sink, integrated toilets, towel warmers and rain showers, as well as high-quality toiletries by German fashion designer Frank Leder. Some of the double rooms, especially on the higher floors, like the room on the 10th floor that I was assigned, offer wonderful views over the Gastein Valley. The hotel restaurant “Aunti Heidi” spoils its guests with a delicious mix of regional specialties and international influences. The breakfast buffet offers a solid selection of freshly baked rolls and bread, pastries, cheese and cold cuts, spreads, cereals, and hot dishes such as sausages, bacon, roasted vegetables, and waffles. A simple selection of fruit, coffee, tea, and orange juice from the dispenser round out the offering. Hot dishes such as fried eggs, omelettes, or pancakes are freshly prepared on request. In the evening, “Aunti Heidi” invites you on a culinary journey through various cuisines. The four-course menu is convincing in terms of taste, even if the presentation is rather simple and the portions are a bit small for sharing. The Badeschloss Bad Gastein also has two bars: the Kaminbar and the Schlossbar. Both offer a cozy atmosphere and serve hot drinks, cocktails, and light snacks. The spa at the Badeschloss Bad Gastein, known as the Alpine Swim Club, extends over three floors and offers a modern wellness experience. The infinity rooftop pool on the 14th floor offers breathtaking panoramic views and a refreshing experience accompanied by

Amazing stayed! We enjoyed our stay from our check in until we went out from the hotel. The welcoming from the receptionists were amazing and they gave us a welcoming drink. The view from our room was amazing and the breakfast was good but not the best. Overall about the hotel was Perfect! .. you should be aware that some places are near by the hotel, they closed early so you should prepare yourself from this condition. And this is my second time that i booked with them and i recommend all people to book in this hotel. Sure i will be back 👍 استمتعنا بالسكن في الفندق ! الصراحة الاستقبال كان طيب من اول وصولنا للفندق و وقت ما طلعنا من الفندق و يعطونكم مشروب ترحيبي اثناء الوصول. الصراحة الاطلالة كانت جميلة من غرفتنا و عن الريوق جيد ولكن مب الافضل. بس بشكل عام يستاهل السكن و الحجز في الفندق.. لازم اتحطون في بالكم بان معظم المحلات او المطاعم اتسكر من وقت فلازم اترتبون اموركم من هذي الناحية .. انصحكم بزيارة الفندق و لي رجعة مرة ثانية مع العلم بانه ثاني مرة احجز عندهم 👌

A magical location - like falling into a fairy tale. The hotel is surrounded by mountains that are literally a few minutes' walk from the front door. The hotel is lovely, very spacious and comfortable. We arrived during Storm Boris, when the surrounding areas were flooding and the mountain trails were covered in many feet of snow. There was still more than enough to do in the Gastein valley, hiking the valley paths, exploring the beautiful old town and taking gondola rides to the top of the mountains. The staff at the Bellevue hotel is amazing. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable. There were several musical evenings in the bar/lobby that were fun for all. There are cooking classes, wine tastings, etc. (Beware though - instruction is mostly in German). We are hoping to go back again soon. The Bellevue Mondo hotel is a delight.

Wow, this family run hotel surpassed all expectations. We all likened it to a a cross between Sandy Lane, Barbados for the casual friendly factor and Gleneagles, Scotland as it had so much for everyone to do. It is very special indeed. Service is slick and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The owners can be seen working in the hotel daily so they really have their fingers on the pulse, know every guest and everything that is going on. It is an incredibly well run hotel located right next to the ski lift. Everything is made easy for you. Ski hire in the hotel is exceptional with brand new equipment. You are given your own heated locker for the duration of your stay. Everything is spotlessly clean. We stayed the week before Christmas and whilst there was snow not all the blue runs were open, so skiing was a little limited. We booked a two bedroom family suite and a couple of classic rooms for our parents. The rooms have all been recently renovated. They are modern and comfortable. The two bedroom suite worked really well for us as a family having the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and lounge. Be warned the classic rooms have open plan bathrooms which would not have worked for us but if there is only one person in the room its fine. The hotel has an excellent spa spread over five floors and we made use of it every day. My children loved chilling in the family spa on the swinging chairs and using the sauna and steam room before going outside and lying in the snow. The family pool is glorious and the slides spotlessly clean and so much fun. The adult area is like nothing I have ever experienced before - and I have stayed in a lot of beautiful spa hotels. It is exquisite. I had one of the best facials I have had for a long long time. My skin came out decongested and glowing. Even my eyebrows got plucked to perfection in the process. The indoor outdoor pool in the top floor is very special. The facilities for children (including teenagers ) is superb. My children spent hours in the high tech games room and equally enjoyed the jungle gym in the basement. They were thrilled when they worked out both rooms were connected. Even us adults enjoyed spending time playing on the games. Meal times were a treat. Breakfast is a huge spread with everything your heart could desire ( although my daughter and I did wish they would turn on the cream machine at breakfast so we could have cream with our pancakes…… but maybe its a good thing it is off!) I defy anyone to come home weighing the same as they did at the start of the holiday! Evening meals were included in our package. I was a little sceptical of this thinking the food would not be so good but there was a huge choice, something for everyone from fine dining to comfort food. Everything is cooked fresh and is delicious. Even my vegetarian daughter and celiac mother were well catered for. If what my children wanted wasn’t on the menu, it was not a problem, the chef would make them what they wanted
