Der Klostertalerhof

What an absolute gem of a hotel from start to finish. The hotel is welcoming, cosy, comfortable, warm, has very friendly and helpful staff and is a very short bus journey to the lovely Sonnenkopf ski area, or about 25 minutes on 2 buses to Lech or Zurs. The bus stop is right outside going either way and they run frequently. Make sure you take your guest card from the hotel if you plan on going to Lech or Zurs otherwise you’ll have to pay on the second bus. We actually got off at Langen station in the morning to ensure we got a seat on the bus, as it picks up there before Stuben.. We used the Arlberg Express company for our transfer from Zurich airport which was seamless. We stayed half board and the food, in particular the evening meals, was just outstanding. We had a choice of several starters, main courses and desserts all week, plus an amazing meat fondue evening one night. You could choose between meat or cheese. The portions were huge and we ended up leaving quite a bit. We chose a small Austrian twin room, as we planned on being out skiing most of the week. The beds were extremely comfy. We had a bath and sink in one room, with a separate toilet. The weather was very warm, so even with the radiator off, we actually slept with the window open. With a road just outside it didn’t matter because it’s such a quiet road. The spa is small with two different temperature saunas, a relaxation area and what I think was an infra red cabin. The hotel provides free robes and slippers if you need them. Always kept spotlessly clean, as the rest of the hotel. The ski and boot room has heated racks and you can enter it either from outside with your room key, or from inside the hotel. We saved a fortune staying here compared to Lech/Zurs but the compromise is the bus journey . We would highly recommend this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we wanted to ski this area in the future.
