Favorite Hotel In Hallstat, Austria
 

I was just wondering what your experiences have been in staying in the unique, quint Austrian village of Hallstat. Do you have a special place, as we do, that we return every year? Why? :)

Have been to Hallstatt several times and it truly is a beautiful spot (oldest town in Austria if I remember correctly). I've never stayed overnight there - opting for a Gasthof at St. Wolfgang (or to be more precise, in Reid - a few blocks west of St. Wolfgang). Highly recommend the Gasthof Falkensteiner - charming rooms - lake views and the Falkensteiners are exceptionally delightful hosts. Meals are superb.

Thanks for the tip on Reid. Unless the train from Saltzburg goes through the village I guess I have missed visiting. We always spend the New Year in Hallstatt. Great quite place to just "kick-back" fro a few days. By the way, can you advise how far it is to Reid from Hallstatt by auto? Do you know is Reid (or St. Wolfgang, which I seem to remember) is served by train?

I remain hopeful you will reply to my post. Please advise if you have time.

Thanks for the info. :)

I did not get to stay in Hallstatt this year during my two visits to Austria in December from the US. So sad I missed it due to time limitations although I did spend several days in Salzburg. Lovely, but of course much busier than Hallstatt.

We are planning another visit to Hallstat area for this year and I just wanted you to know that basis your post we are considering your suggestion of Reid. Any special thoughts on particularly attractive rooms at Gasthof Falkensteiner?

Thanks

Hope you have some suggestions----

Thanks in advance
