Hotel Unterhof

Unterhof is a superb hotel. Every member of staff was better than A1 - they really do everything right and are so courteous. We booked a Landgenuss room which is larger than standard and it was very roomy. All food was very nice, fresh ingredients cooked just right. Breakfast had no variety but it does not need any changes because everything that you could reasonably want was there and when it is as good as it was, you do not want anything different. Lovely bread and rolls. If you wanted fried egg or an omelette there is an extra charge which is a bit disappointing, but we did not need either - the supplied scrambled egg was delicious - also there are soft and hard boiled eggs every day. By default you get a flask of coffee on your table but we asked for tea and that was served instead. The 5 course dinner was equally delicious every night - you choose the main course from a meat, fish or vegetarian option at breakfast. A free afternoon snack is provided - this varies from cake to sausage and bagel, or pasta with bread etc. The whole hotel is kept spotless. No doubt that we will stay here again if we return to Filzmoos. The only mistake that we made was to only book a week, thinking that there would not be much do do in a small town but we should have booked 10 or 14 nights. There are many walks accessible using the summer card supplied giving a daily (when operating - 4 times a week) return trip on the Papageno gondola , a daily (has to be prebooked but the local tourist office will do for you), a daily return trip on the Almi ( a tractor pulled bus mad from a converted chalet) and the Fidibus (local hikers bus). These all take you up the mountains from where you can do either short or long hikes to suit your preference. They all take you to a nice Alpine hut so you can use them to have a nice drink or meal in a great setting even if you did not want to walk far.
