Rauris

I've never had a low-quality meal like this in any Austrian hotel. Most of it is ready-made products and convenience food. There's no trained cook, only two kitchen helpers who heat and cook the finished goods. For example, at breakfast, no fresh fruit, only compot from the can. Coffee with milk. No hot dish, no specialties, only noodles, no other pastries. In addition to packaging soup, baking soda from the can,... As Salzburg Desserts Speciality Restaurants, there are very cold profiterols with chocolate from the tube.

No four stars.

We're just expecting more from four stars. We're expecting more from four stars. We're expecting more from two-and-a-half-year-old rooms with bathrooms that were modern 20 years ago. The beds are laid out. We're having a variety of buns, fried egg cereal. We're always having the same range of packaged foods.

Unfortunately not as expected

Stayed in this hotel the last week in February as a family with young kids ! Feel I need to write a true review of the hotel and Rauris resort! Pluses ski bus stops right outside the hotel, cleaning is amazing in the rooms! Lady at front reception not the most accommodating, a dog at the front desk that will bite the hand off your child, so keep your children away! Barman is one of the most unaccommodating barmen I’ve ever met! Should be in a different industry and not in hospitality! Rolled his eyes on a few occasions when placing orders! On the food, we thought breakfast was the laziest breakfast selection we have ever experienced, only hot food was hard hard boiled eggs! Just one old school toaster that took forever  to toast! Comical! Evening meal wasn’t a whole lot better, I’d say one evening meal out of the six was at best decent! We eat out one night when we seen the menu for that night! Amazing pizza restaurant 10 minutes walk away, it was well worth it, just to get really nice food! Rauris is a beautiful resort, but is definitely not for beginners, this was our second ski holiday as a family! I had skied years before, but none of my family, so all relatively new! My teenage kids were 100% on the slopes, my 8 year old and 7 year old were ok! But forget about skiing as a family anywhere on the slopes with any of them beginners, my 7 year old and 8 year old were ok going down the slopes with their instructor, the blues were very challenging in parts and were borderline reds! So didn’t feel comfortable taking them down most of the blues apart from number 2 slope that was still very challenging! My wife who is still learning didn’t go up the slopes and stayed on the nursery slopes, so no family skiing for the whole week! Rauris is an intermediate paradise and it really is not for complete beginners or family skiing for learners! My wife never got to practice her skiing on cruising blues because there are none unfortunately! I hope this is helpful for anyone planning a ski trip to Rauris!

Wouldn’t go back I’m afraid

A very traditional hotel warm and welcoming.
The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay, very clean and serviced daily.
The food is excellent
Breakfast is a buffet with everything you can think of to please even the pickiest of eaters.
Evening meals are three courses and a salad bar, lovely food and always served with a smile.
Would highly recommend

Lovely traditional hotel

Booked for our first skiing holiday as a couple through Crystal Ski. The food at the hotel was great with good options to choose from and themed nights throughout the week. Nice, spacious room and great shower. The whole hotel was very clean and warm. Very convenient ski room (with boot warmers) and a nice pool. We also enjoyed the hotel bar and the convenience of having the ski bus stop right outside. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a traditional hotel with good food, great staff and everything you need.

Warm, traditional Austrian hotel with good facilities

We stayed in the Kristall for a weeks skiing, as a party of nine family members. The rooms were all in the same corridor and we were all sat together for meals. Staff were attentive to all our needs, being both friendly and professional. The rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable. Food was excellent and plentiful with a wide variety. Amenities were a welcome extra; swimming pool, sauna and steam room were all clean. The hotel was well run and well priced. I would definitely use this hotel again and highly recommend it.

We stayed for approximately a week for a skiing holiday through Crystal Ski. The staff were cordial, professional and very friendly. The room was outstanding, comfortable and homespun. The food was excellent, every evening something different and plenty of variety. The hotel is a short walk from the slopes and is conveniently located. Honestly cannot recommend this hotel more. It made our holiday wonderful and relaxing. Would highly recommend. Excellent for families too.

Family Ski Holiday.

This hotel is absolutely amazing.  We managed to book a late skiing deal through Crystal Ski and was pleased to choose this hotel.

To start with, the lady on the front desk, who I assume is the owner is one of the hardest working managers I have ever seen. She is up early in the morning for breakfast and is helping out with serving dinner in the evening.  She never takes any time off.  She runs an extremely tight ship and her staff are very professional and always smiling.

The hotel room was really nice - think of a Travel Lodge style with an Austrian take.
The beds were amazingly comfortable with crisp clean sheets and linen.  Flat screen TV, table and chairs, phone etc.  
The bathroom was very clean. And the shower, OMG the shower was epic. Hot and like a rainfall - Epic after a days skiing!

Now, the best part of the hotel was the food.  We went for the half board option and I can’t stress enough how good the food was.  The breakfast was a mix of cereals, fruit, yogurts, meats, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, fresh orange or apple juice, tea and coffee on tap and bread rolls.  The food was replenished very quickly by the staff, who always seem to be smiling.

The evening meals were nothing short of amazing.  The salad bar was plentiful and uniquely Austrian.  The soup each day was freshly prepared and not from a packet.  The main meals were beautifully cooked and presented - each night was a different dish.  There were special themed occasions from candle light dinner to local market food to chefs special.  The puddings were awesome each night.
I can honestly say that the food from this hotel is some of the best food I have ever tasted.  I actually came back from this skiing holiday weighing more than I did at the start of the holiday.  
There is a bar area so if you fancy a beer after dinner… 

The staff are all very helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.  

There is a big heated ski room for your ski equipment which has a separate entry door so that you’re not traipsing though the hotel with your ski equipment.  You can access the ski room from inside the hotel in the morning. The ski room is locked at 8pm and is fully secure.

We didn’t make use of the swimming pool or the sauna but to be fair, after a day skiing and epic food, we just vegged out in front of the TV. 

There is free Wi-Fi which is fast and reliable.

This hotel is so good that we have booked to come skiing here again in Jan 2023.

Absolutely Amazing Hotel.

Just returned from our first ski trip to Austria since lock down. Rauris is a lovely little village excellent ski schools for families with small children wanting to learn to ski. Would have liked more nursery slopes for beginners, found the blue runs a little bit too steep in some areas.
Ski bus stopped outside hotel which was brilliant.
Hotel was lovely,staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy meals were excellent and catered brilliantly for my husband and i who are vegetarians. We used the swimming pool and realxing spa area which was lovely.
It was my birthday whilst on holiday and the breakfast table was decorated which was a lovely surprise and very thoughful.
Overall I was very pleased with my stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely holiday and stay at the Ferienwelt Kristall Hotel in Rauris

We had a lovely ski trip with our two children aged six and nine. Rauris is a lovely resort which is ideal for kids and the hotel is about 1km from the main ski lift with a regular free bus service.

The family room was large and comfortable and the swimming pool was great for the children after a long day skiing. The food was very good even for picky kids and vegetarian and the service was relaxed.

Not much to grumble about. Pillows not great and beds quite squeaky. You can hear traffic from the road. Not loud enough to wake you, but does affect the tranquility. 

We would definitely come again.
