Hotel Lebzelter

The Lebzelter is a traditional Austrian hotel with friendly staff and decent rooms. Breakfast was a nice selection of cold meats, cheese, breads and fruit. There were also boiled or scrambled eggs. The evening meal included a starter, salads, a choice of 3 main courses which you select at breakfast each day, a soup and a dessert. Plenty of food and choices to suit most people. The location is great, really central with the main square outside and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops within a minutes walk. It’s also really accessible for the lake, the train station and the bus station, so you can easily travel around the local area. The hotel and bar staff are really friendly and welcoming, I was travelling alone and they always looked after me. I really enjoyed my stay and have already booked to visit again in 2026 because there is so much to do in the local area, it’s impossible to squeeze it all into one week! The hotel also participates in the Zell am See Kaprun Summer Card scheme, which means you get lots of the ski lifts, trains, buses etc. for free, which is really a bonus and saves a lot of additional expense when exploring the area.

I have recently returned from my first stay at the Lebzelter and I loved every second of my stay. The hotel is in the heart of the pedestrianised area of Zell am See just a short walk from the train station and the local buses. The hotel is instantly recognisable by it's wonderful yellow facade. The staff, from reception to the cleaners, are extremely helpful and very friendly. I had booked the half board option. Please be aware that the hotel does not serve evening meals on Thursday nights...but you will get your breakfast everyday. There are fruit juices and hot drinks for breakfast. The food choices are typical of the Alpine regions...hams, cheeses, yoghurts etc. However, they also offer cereals as well as rolls and jams. At breakfast you are presented with a menu showing the choices for your evening meal. 1 of the choices is a vegetarian option. Every evening there is also soup, salads and desserts. My room was 202 on the 2nd floor. There is a small lift right beside the reception desk to take you to the upper floors. My room had a large wardrobe which contains a small safe. There was also a desk with a cupboard and a very comfortable sofa. The bed was very comfortable. My only issue with the room was the lack of air conditioning! The room got incredibly hot even with the window open. The bathroom was a hand basin, toilet and shower. Be careful when using the hot water as it can be cool one minute and extremely hot the next. The Lebzelter gives it's guests the Zell am See summer card which is brilliant! It allows you to use the local buses and trains, go out on boat trips on the beautiful lake and use of the gondolas to take you up to the mountains and the walking trails. I would highly recommend the Lebzelter to anyone wishing to visit Zell am See...it is an absolutely beautiful hotel.

A lovely authentic Austrian hotel situated in the centre of the town. Great location for the ski lift and postplatz for buses to Saalbach and Kaprun. The bedrooms are comfortable, the breakfasts reasonable and the hotel service very good, they also have a terrific bar.

One couple with two friends and two birthdays. First time skiing after 30 years and a complete novice. This Hotel is in a perfect location for all amenities and ski lift. We were so lucky with the most fantastic weather. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming and the food was just perfect. I'd be scared to return as we couldn't better this first visit!

Stayed here for a week with family in Jan ‘25. The hotel is a beautiful traditional Austrian style building, absolutely stunning, the location is right in the centre of the town, great for wandering the gorgeous streets, ski lift approx 7 minutes walk away. The hotel is family run and they were all very friendly and helpful, the food was excellent, continental style breakfasts and 3 course evening meals which were all great. The bedrooms had loads of wardrobe space and were a decent size too, the beds were a bit too firm for me, the only downside I’d say was the showers which were very unpredictable, they ranged from freezing to boiling quite quickly so you had to be careful, we called them experience showers! 😆 I would recommend this hotel and would happily stay there again.

Fantastic location in centre of town and main lifts to ski less than 3 minutes away. Was B & B and so many very good restaurants within easy reach to choose from. Room was spacious and spotless, cleaned every day with fresh towels.Warm and comfortable. Bathroom small and if you are 34 + waist you might struggle getting in/out shower via sliding door. Super wi-fi throughout hotel. No English channels on tv. If booking with Crystal no tourist tax to pay as its included with your booking. Ski room could do with a couple more benches but that's my only observation. Particularly liked the bar after a day on the slopes. Breakfast was very good but same cooked options every day - boiled or scrambled eggs.
