Postresidenz Mayrhofen

The Postresidenz apartments are beautifully furnished and spacious, excellently located in the centre of town, and are linked to the adjoining Posthotel which provides a reception, breakfast (for a small supplement) and other services. I've visited Mayrhofen to ski with friends twice, and stayed both times at the Postresidenz (we loved it so much the first time we came back, and hope to make a third trip!). Mayrhofen is a great town and a superb ski area, but the accommodation really made it for us. Postresidenz is located in the centre of the older part of town. There is a small supermarket opposite and many hotels nearby. The main lift is about ten minutes walk (recommend renting one of the excellent ski lockers under the Penkenbahn from Intersport). It's reasonably quiet at night (we occasionally heard the church bells or the supermarket deliveries in the morning, but the nightclubs and noisier bars seem to be nearer the ski lift). There are a number of different apartments of different sizes, but they all seem to be very spacious, warm, and furnished to a high standard in a modern style. Most or all seem to have balconies. Some of them include a private sauna in the apartment, which was very nice. The kitchen is well enough equipped to cook and eat in the apartment, although there are lots of restaurants nearby and the option of getting breakfast on the hotel if you prefer not to. The staff and reception desk have always been extremely helpful, and helped us out with things like booking restaurants and storing luggage so we can ski on arrival/departure day. Mayrhofen is a reasonably large town with lots to do. The ski area is big and well connected, with plenty to do for skiers of any level. The apres-ski scene is some of the liveliest I've come across (in the usual Austrian style), but it's easy to avoid if you prefer something more civilised.
