Metzgerwirt VIEH HELI

This was probably the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, and I spend at least 1-2 nights per week in a hotel. The service is atrocious. The staff do not speak any English - which is fine, but they made no effort to communicate with us. When we first checked in, they kept scrolling past our reservation and ignoring us when we told them they had missed us. Instead, they tried to insist we didn't have a reservation. Once we got this sorted out, they neglected to tell us that the whole hotel would be locked 9PM. They didn't give us a night key, so we almost got locked out - luckily my boyfriend found another customer who spoke both German and English, and he was able to translate. The staff then acted extremely annoyed at having to give us a house key. The best part is - when we tried to leave in the morning, the hotel was locked FROM THE INSIDE. So not only did they almost lock us out, they also almost LOCKED US IN. We tried asking staff for help multiple times, but they ignored us while pounding beers at the restaurant bar. The rooms are run down. We had handles missing on furniture, sheets of questionable cleanliness, and windows that let bright light in due to sheer curtains. The walls were so thin that you could hear anything your neighbors were saying. The hotel is also a meat factory, so it reeks. On top of this, there is construction in Hallstatt so it takes 20-30 min to get there during daytime traffic, not 5. In short... avoid this place.

The hotel is situated close to Hallstatt and Postbus 542 is just outside the main road. Cleanliness of the room is acceptable except that we found some hairs left by the previous occupants on the bed and hairdryer, as well as a half-drunk mineral water bottle on the table. The room lacks sufficient outlets and I have to spent most of my time in the toilet charging and using my phone at the same time. Breakfast is simple and not much of selections. Overall we still have a enjoyable stay. Staffs are very friendly and check-in and out are super efficient.

Rooms are very small and were very hot. However clean and shower/bathroom were ok. Very good food.

All that is on the windows are sheers. A bright flood light shone into my room all night long. It was so bright I did not need to turn a light on to get things out of my suitcase or walk to the bathroom. It was a horrible night, I was not able to sleep, and when other guests came in it was extremely loud, even with earplugs.

Fine for a bed for the night, near Hallstatt. Rooms over a restaurant. Nothing spectacular. But, also one of the cheaper options, to be fair. Breakfast not that appetising by the time we got there at 9:30.

The wi-fi reception was very poor, there’s was no fridge in the room (obviously something not thought of in Europe) and the breakfast choices were limited
