MONDI Hotel Bellevue Gastein

10/10 Excellent
"MONDI Hotel Bellevue Gastein was wunderbar! Everything was very clean including the guest rooms and common areas. All of the staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If you do not speak fluent German, it is not a problem because all of the staff spoke English. We were there in mid September(off peak time) but there was still lots to see and do…in fact we didn’t get to do all we wanted to do in the 8 days! We really appreciated the Bad Gastein Mobility Ticket. It allowed us to travel all over the province of Salzburg, just like an Austrian, without having to rent a car. The Gastein Card was also a bonus for having discounts to a variety of Bad Gastein attractions and venues. We came for the hiking and the Hohe National Park is just a short bus ride away. The views are spectacular. After hiking we made use of the pool, whirlpool and sauna rooms at the Hotel. We partook of the buffet the evening we arrived and the food was excellent. We also really enjoyed that we could make meals/snacks/beverages in our studio kitchenette because one of us must eat gluten-free. We used the very convenient laundry room twice. There is also an impressive workout room but we were too busy to use it. We recommended the MONDI Hotel Bellevue to family members who are avid bikers as biking is very popular here as well. Our whole experience has been so positive that we plan to come back."
