    Too soft bed, missing at least small kitchen to make breakfast or coffee, no fridge

    Possibility of bike storage, parking right in front of pension, very clean environment, location right in the center of city, yet very calm place (we had room leading to calm back street but some rooms are leading to crowded street full of bars and restaurants, those maybe could be noisy at night?)

    A Delightful Stay in a Perfect Location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    As far as the Pension is concerned, we were happy with everything. Perhaps just two minor issues—mentioned only for the sake of completeness—but nothing significant. A mirror in the room and a charging point on both sides of the bed would have been convenient. There is a charging point on one side of the bed, but not the other. Still, there are other charging points in the room, so it wasn’t a major problem. However, a more significant issue was the behavior of the staff at the café where hotel guests can have breakfast. The lady running the café was extremely rude, which is completely unexpected in the hospitality industry. In all my years of travel, I haven’t encountered anyone as unprofessional and discourteous as her. It’s an independent café that rents a room in the hotel, so guests have the option to have breakfast there. I would strongly recommend NOT taking breakfast at this café, even if it seems cheaper (Euro 8). There is also very little variety—just a croissant, a slice of bread, butter, jam, cheese, ham, juice, and coffee. While it is filling, you have to eat the same breakfast every day. There are plenty of other places nearby where you can have breakfast if you don’t mind spending a little more

    Location – superb. It's 500 metres from the railway station and just 100 metres from the lake. The hotel is right in the middle of town, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, ice-cream shops and souvenir stores. I believe we had the biggest room in the hotel. It was clean, with decent storage space, and tastefully decorated. I could see a slice of the lake from the window. But what we liked most was the welcoming, helpful attitude of the owner. From the moment we booked until we checked out, he was attentive and accommodating to every need. In today's age of fully contactless hotels, he is a wonderful reminder of how nice it is to have direct access to the hotel owner or someone who manages the property.

    Super Central and Lovely Old-Style Pension
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler

    Unfortunately, the WiFi was very poor in my room and there seemed to be a problem with the access point / router. When I spoke to the owner about it, he said that he was going to upgrade the network to be mesh based, which will likely make it a lot better.

    The entrance was a bit hard to find at first, but location was great and super central right next to one of the main pedestrian streets. The room was clean & comfortable and the owner & staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast at the nearby cafe was maybe a bit on the light side, but certainly adequate and quite pleasant.

    The Pension Buchner exeded my expectations. I am very happy that I ended up booking this particular place. The location was great, near the lake, on the main street. The staff was friendly, and the owner was always ready to help. It was really the best location. I also liked it, that public areas and rooms had its own charm: lots of wooden furniture and hardwood floor. For me it was important that I had a shower and a sink in the room and using a bathroom on the floor turned out not to be an issue at all, it was always clean, and it was never a line or even occupied by someone.

    No toilet at the room, but it worked fine anyway for us.

    The breakfast was at the café next door. Friendly staff and good coffee, however it was the same every morning, a variation of the breakfast had been nice.

    Breakfast was super minimalistic - 5mm thick slice of bread, few slices of cheese and ham. We had windows to the pedestrian zone, that was full of screams of drunks until morning...

    Owner of the pension was very helpful. Pension itself is a bit old, but everything was clean and tidy. Ski lift is within walking distance.

    Curtains can be darker so the light does not go through ( i have eye mask, my wife did not) A firmer bed. The double bed was too soft. The single one was perfect.

    Great location super central in zell am see. 100m from the lake. And right into the old town Cozy pension with a warm welcome after a long car ride. Quiet at night despite the restaurants downstairs.

    The bathroom was incredibly compact. Whilst the location was great, this did make it quite noisy very late into the evening

    Perfectly located in the centre of Zell am See, just 120 meters from the Grand Hotel. The host was very polite. The ski boot room was invaluable.

    Quite loud on nighttime because of central location, but if window kept closed all was fine.

    The property was kept very clean, room cleaned every day. Very good location, right next to all the pubs and restaurants. Five minutes walk to the City Xpress gondola. Breakfast next door was quite good, bread, butter, cheese, ham, tomato, jam, coffee or tea, juice, and water. Other things could be ordered at cost. You could just have cheese if vegetarian. Boot room for ski boots in basement, and locked room for ski storage at back of property. Staff really friendly.

    We came for seven nights, the apartment was lovely! Everything was very pleasant and clean and the windows sealed most of the noise from outside. Andreas helped us with everything we needed, explained about the site and answered all of our questions patiently. The location is very central and close to all the bars and the restaurants and also to the ski bus and the cityexpress lift. Thank you Andreas! We will definitely come again.
