We booked this hotel for our honeymoon because of its beautiful lake views- which was the only good thing about this room. When we arrived, there was some confusion about the somewhat complicated parking situation and Mrs. Lobisser got quite short and rude with me- which wasn't a nice start for our 3 day stay in this hotel.
The room was not too clean (there were hair in the bathroom sink and on the floor, the beds were clean though.
The beds were super creaky. Just turning around made a huge amount of noise. Not too romantic for a honeymoon.
The first night I only got about 5.5 hours of sleep, since the restaurant staff partied just underneath our window until midnight (after the restaurant closed down around 10 p.m.) and the next morning a truck with soft drinks/beer arrived at 5.30 a.m. and was noisily unloaded.
The breakfast was good.
All together - next time I am visiting Hallstatt I will chose a more quiet hotel with better beds.

Well what can I say....this place was lovely...querky but absolutely lovely...Stayed in room 7 with my partner Ian and wow we were blown away by the stunning view from the balcony (even though it was dull...well until our last day!!)...Very welcoming and friendly with lovely food...We definitely stay there again....and soon I hope :)

The whole grilled trout was excellent, but the other dishes (trout with some spinach sauce) were not very good. The place inside also does not look very nice and it is a bit pricey for the type of food.

The hotel is full of personality. It is old and wooden with interesting decoration and a winding staircase that gets smaller the higher up you go. we had a room with a lake view, as long as you didn't mind sitting on the 'private' veranda with a door leading to the hall way and half blocked off from the room accross the hall. Also the view was 1/8th lake and the rest an old rusty roof from next door- so check if you want uninterupted views. It was lovely to sit outside though and despite the higildy-pigildy way the place is set out it has it's own charm.
The room was dark, with one light and two lamps. The tv didn't work. The bathroom was tiny, and the shower... oh my, the shower. It burnt me. It went from freezing cold, to warm to boiling hot for no apparent reason and was totally upsetting. Also there was some 'gooey' stuff on the bathroom tiles which could have been cleaned. Also had to open the shower door if you want to wash your feet as there isn't enough room in the cubicle.
The beds were very uncomfortable. One was so springy it was like a broken trampoline that you just sink into and it squeaked terribly with any movement. The other one was as hard as a rock, to the point of making you wish you were sleeping in your car instead.
Parking- there isn't any. And the staff at the hotel must be used to this being a 'suprise' as she was quite defensive and started telling us that 'Hallstatt' is such a small town that we shouldn;t expect parking etc, even though we hadn't said anything. They do have an arrangement with the parking lot down the road and the first night is free. It is outside of town and takes about 10 maybe 15mins to walk there. So for only one night stay we re packed a couple of things in a carry bag. The next day it rained (of course) and we walked back to our car in the pouring rain- don't expect any sympathy from the staff, who despite the pouring rain out side since about 4am said 'oh ... is it raining... I hadn't noticed!'
the restaurant that they own is lovely. though again the staff were a bit muddled with who could sit where. But the food was fine and the view is of the lake and is stunning.
the Heritage down the road has it's own car park, so if this is important to you maybe pay the extra, they also have a stunning spot on the lake and are a couple of mins stroll to the market square.
