    "Hotel Goldgasse was everything we look for in a hotel and more. The location is fantastic, and the hotel itself is warm, inviting, and wonderfully boutique. It has so much character and charm, which is exactly the kind of experience we love when traveling. But what truly made our stay special was the front desk staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel less like hotel guests and more like we were staying with friends. She genuinely wanted to get to know us, asked where we were..."

Unfortunately, we had a late arrival, and only took advantage of the spa facilities for about thirty minutes; they were clean, and in good working order. We stayed one night, but would love to return during the winter season for what looks like some fantastic skiing!"
