Reviews and Ratings
Our stay was absolutely delightful! The hotel feels like a home away from home with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of activities for the kids. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The dining experience was fantastic, with a great selection of food and drinks. However, it can get a bit crowded during peak seasons, and some facilities could use a little updating.
This hotel truly offers an excellent getaway for families, with exceptional children's facilities and an attentive staff that makes every guest feel special. The kids loved the indoor playground and the movie theater, which kept them entertained while we relaxed. The food was a delightful surprise, with a great selection at all meals. The only downside was that the dining options could get a bit repetitive after several days. Overall, it's definitely a great value for families looking for a fun, engaging holiday.
Our stay at Sonngastein was truly memorable. The hotel offered an outstanding family-friendly environment, with excellent facilities for kids and superb service that made us feel right at home. The quality of the food was impressive, and we loved the thematic dining experiences. However, it might not have an extensive dining menu for children initially, so it's good to communicate any specific dietary needs upfront.
My family and I had an incredible time at Sonngastein! This hotel offers a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere and kid's facilities that are truly impressive. The food was top-notch and added a special touch to our stay. The only minor downside is that the ski slopes are a 10-minute drive away, but the convenient shuttle service offsets that perfectly. Overall, I would highly recommend it for a memorable family vacation.
