Great for a short break
Perfectly situated in the heart of St Gilgen this is a family run and typical Austrian styled hotel. The hotel has great character and very attentive hosts. The rooms were spotlessly clean and breakfast was good.

I'm usually too lazy to write a review but with this hotel, I just have to. Impeccable attention to detail in regards to cleaning and customer service. The decorations outside and inside the hotel were phenomenal; it gave a very "home-y" feeling when staying. Breakfast is freshly prepped every morning and absolutely delicious. Their location is just right, not too far from Salzburg (about 30min drive) and not too far from the other lakes in the region. There's a supermarket about 5min away and restaurants within walking distance. The Eisl family were able to promptly answer our concerns via email for late arrival which made our check-in process a breeze.

The hotel is a must, perfect family administered hotel, in a 600 years old house, completely renovated, extremely comfortable, with friendly owners and staff, an excellent breakfast, clean, close to everything in town. It's the best lodging option in St-Gilgen, by far. I would recommend it for any good taste and refined traveler.

Excellent, family run inn in an extremely beautiful town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Right in the middle of the action in St. Gilgen and easy access to Salzburg - even by bus (the bus station is a two minute walk from the Schernthaner).

Adorable!
This hotel is quaint, homey and well-located. The service was friendly and had a personal touch. Breakfast was homemade and delicious if under-labeled. 2 minutes to town square and 30 seconds to a delicious donair downstairs.

Excellent hotel, extremely helpful and kind staff!
My fiance left her cell phone on the bus to St Gilgen, and Markus at the desk called the bus company for her, and even went as far as to give us the address and directions to where we could retrieve her phone. He went above and beyond to help, and we are most thankful. As neither one of us speak German, she probably would not have gotten it back without his help. The hotel is charming, with a warm staff, nice, clean rooms, and a surrounding landscape you cannot beat. Highly recommend this hotel. Their breakfast spread is excellent as well!

st. gilgen charmer
first of all, st. gilgen is amazing in general. you must go. second, the first thing we noticed was the view from the balcony. wow. mountains and lake view. easy to walk around the area, plenty of restaurants to choose from, has an elevator, separate parking (that is extremely close by, but up a small hill from hotel). at check in, she said she had space but didn't see my reservation. luckily i had not only my print out from hotels.com, but also my direct correspondence verifying the reservation from before we left on the trip. turns out she was looking at my first name as my last name. only problem was i had read a review just like that, so bring all your paperwork! breakfast was nice, basic light breakfast. st. gilgen is the real star. i wish our stay here was longer so i could have enjoyed my view for a few more days!

Cozy room in St. Gilgen
I came to St. Gilgen to relax for a night in the middle of a larger European trip and it did not disappoint. The room was very clean and service was very friendly. There is not much for nightlife in St. Gilgen, but I enjoyed the location near the Wolfgangsee. If you're looking for rest and relaxation, it is a good spot near the Austrian Alps.

cozy B & B in quaint village
This gasthaus is tucked into a quiet area of St. Gilgen. Our room was very clean, comfortable and quiet and the in-room mini fridge was an unexpected treat. The breakfast was very nice with a good selection of meats, cheeses, breads, cereals, yogurt, fruits and eggs. The owner was very helpful with ideas for sightseeing and dinner recommendations. The hotel was a little difficult to find and parking was limited, but we had such a great experience during our two nights there.....we will definitely stay at hotel Schernthaner again!!

Welcoming, clean, pretty as a picture inside and out. Room very spacious with brilliant bathroom and lots of thoughtful details. Breakfast room an Alpine delight with generous fresh buffet. Family run with hosts willing and able to provide all sorts of info. The comfortable, well - maintained free bikes made it easy to explore. Highly recommend.

Disliked: Room comfort
All photos of rooms showed large (queen size) beds in rooms BUT I stayed in a room with a small bed (fit for a short teenager) and that's after I sent a request for a LARGE BED. With NO air-conditioner in July and windows open, the room was very noisy with Highway 158 just outside. Parking was a half-block away uphill from hotel. No restaurant in hotel but the nearby Gasthof Zur Post was an excellent restaurant. WiFi was adequate for emails.

Very traditional hotel, very friendly, lovely flowers
My father and I had two single rooms, nos 4 and 5 on the first floor. The hotel is very traditionally furnished. Our rooms both had en suite shower room with hand basin and toilet, TV, plenty of wardrobe space and interconnection balcony so which overlooked the rear of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was very good, choice of hams, cheeses, boiled eggs, toast, rolls, bread, jams, teas, coffee, orange juice, fruit etc. the weather was fantastic but even with our doors wide open all night it was uncomfortably hot as there is no air on or fan in the room, that was the only negative aspect. There is a small parking area for 5/6 cars at the top of the road and a few other spaces behind the hotel. The hotel is very close to the shore of Wolfgangsee and the beautiful centre of St Gilgen. It is also close to the cable car station. There was a little early morning noise from the nearby main road but it was quiet overnight.

A place with local character
It's located in a quaint little town near the lake. You can tell it's a family run business. The place is spotless. The owner prepares a great breakfast, and we can tell that she pays great attention to detail. Before leaving she gave us a good piece of advice on our itinerary, which we truly appreciated. We stayed in several places in Austria of different price range, and I would most highly recommend this hotel.

Annalise, the owner of the hotel was really wonderful, very welcoming and hospitable. She gave us lots of helpful advice on St.Gilgen, nearby places to ski, where to take lessons - she's also great with kids. And I can't say enough about the breakfast! Everything from the welcome card on our special table to the breads, jams, soft boiled eggs, fresh coffee and pretty china was absolutely perfect.
