Hotel Garni Sonnwendhof

Hotel Garni Sonnwendhof descritpion

Hotel Sonnwendhof enjoys a very quiet yet central location at the foot of the Hirschenkogel mountain, only a few feet away from the valley station of the Zauberberg Cable Car in the Semmering Ski Area. It offers a terrace café with panoramic views, and a sauna area with a relaxation room.
A rich selection of cold meat, sausages and cheeses, as well as many different kinds of breads and a glass of prosecco await you at the rich breakfast buffet served in the Panorama Restaurant.
From the ski slopes, you can get back directly to the hotel via a separate downhill run. The well-known Zauberbar, a bar, is just 500 feet away. The Sonnwendhof is also located on the hiking trail to the Hirschenkogel and Sonnwendstein mountains, and a mountain bike park is 500 feet from the property.
The Semmering is located halfway between Vienna and Graz and is only a 1-hour drive away from Vienna.

Reviews for Hotel Garni Sonnwendhof

Review 1：All good!

Review 2：Excellent proximity to cable car and centre of village for supermarket, bank, restaurants etc. Friendly staff and breakfast good and plentiful. Great view from balcony. Room light, bright, spacious and comfortable. Will go back again.

Review 3：There was a trip of young and VERY noisy teenagers while we were staying at the hotel. We had to ask them several times to be quiet, they finally did at 3am!!! The management of the hotel said they tried to calm them down but we had to do it ourselves at the end so not sure whether they have done something i n person at all. Anyway, our opinion is that these school teenage children should not be put on the same floor as normal guests especially when the hotel was quite empty.

Review 4：The location of the hotel Garni Sonnwendhof is wonderful - about 20 meter walk to the cable car of Zauberg where there is a little square with few restaurants, bars.

Review 5：Twin bed when asked for a double, but that is just a details. Restaurant was closed

Review 6：The Night/weekend receptionist was great, great advise on the area, friendly and a great sense of humor

Review 7：Very average breakfast. We needed to ask several times when something ran out from the buffet (milk, water, coffee, etc.). The bar and the restaurant were not open on the evening so we could not have a drink.

Review 8：The guy at the reception was very kind, funny and helpful. They immediately replied to our emails.

Review 9：The restaurant wasn't really up to the task in the summer. Only cold buffet for breakfast and other than breakfast it was closed.

Review 10：Simple, clean, comfortable room and bath. Very close to the center.

Review 11：The beds were rather uncomfortable and the walls are quite thin.

Review 12：Good location (although away from the train station): quiet with a nice view, yet close to Zauberberg. Staff was very helpful.

Review 13：I switched rooms my last night. I recommend requesting that you don't stay in 106: aside from no view, the bed was extremely soft and incredibly uncomfortable. Unless very, very, very (leave an imprint) sift beds are your thing...

Review 14：Great location, beautiful views, nice atmosphere. Sauna and spa room very clean and relaxing, with self serve teas, etc. Gym room. Outstanding, huge breakfast. Terrific coffee. Clean!

Review 15：The exhaust fan in the bathroom sounds like a jet engine!

Review 16：This is a lovely property with superb views in a great location. The staff is very helpful and the breakfast is excellent.

Review 17：No possibilty for dinner in the hotel (and not much in the nearby at all) in April.

Review 18：Big room with beautiful view, good location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast.

Review 19：We were disappointed with the food at dinner, which was especially disappointing because everything and everyone was so nice. We had a great meal just down the road. We would not have returned for a second evening meal. Long steep walk to the train station.

Review 20：Nice,spacious room. Great view. Close to ski lift and 'town'. Enthusiasm of the staff. great Breakfast. Beautiful restaurant with great view Better location than the big fancy hotels.

Review 21：The dinner buffet had very little to no choice. There were 6 metal trays, 2 of them were empty. The other 4 looked very unappealing. There was also a salad bar, but it was the kind of lettuce you would find in the bottom of your fridge after a couple of weeks. For dinner I wouldn't recommend this.

Review 22：I like this hotel, it is very conveniently located. The rooms are basic but comfortable, with a nice view. Also the room and bathroom are very clean. The breakfast buffet was really good! A lot of choice!

Review 30：if you are staying in Semmering ( skiing at winter or hiking in summer) this is definitely place for you. 1) location - hotel is right in the Semmering pass - the view from the hotel just astonishing ! near the hotel is a start of hiking trails . just in front of the door ! lot of hiking trails and skiing near 2) rooms - very clean , neat ( I stayed in a single room ) but all the rooms have balcony with the astonishing view to the mountains or to the woods 3) food - simple , delicious and fresh food served in beautiful restaurant with the view to the mountains ! 4) stuff - very very nice and friendly ( the guy in the reception I think his name Alexander) will explain you everything and answer to all of your inquiry with a smile

Review 77：The tea in the auto coffee machine was awful so couldn't get a cup of tea except at breakfast. Tried the hotel restaurant the first night, almost funny how bad and slow the service was and the food very basic. Ate at restaurants in town after that experience.

Review 78：Room was great, large, fantastic view across the mountains. Breakfast was basic but adequate. It was between seasons so quiet. Great location for cable car up the mountain for walking.

Review 79：Internet was not very reliable especially using and iPad. To be fair,our hotel in Salzburg had similar problems.

Review 80：Staff were friendly and helpful. Wonderful views from the balconyof our room. Easy walking distance to hiking trails. Breakfast wasok - not brilliant but a satisfactory variety. The whole hotel hada nice Austrian feeling to it. Clean bedroom and all furnitureappeared near new.

Review 81：The restaurant is not to be recommended. The wienerschnitzel that I had seemed to be from frozen, with a processed, commercial breadcrumb batter. Many of the menu items were not available. There are far better places to eat in Semmering.

Review 82：The hotel was very good. Clean, friendly, and with a great sauna.

Review 84：It was located near the ski lifts. The view over the valley wasexcellent. The food was great.
