I really liked this place. It is a genuine family run business and the staff were all very pleasant. We had a top floor room with views from both windows. The room was clean and the beds very comfy (Memory foam mattreses - a welcome change). Breakfast was good - buffet style. Restaurant serves typical Austrian food and at reasonable prices. The hotel is only 10 minutes walk from the old quarter, and 5 minutes from Congress (where the new funicular to Hafelekar starts). We paid GBP 70 per night B+B and I felt that was a very fair price for the facilities available. There is a small supermarket just 3 minutes walk away which is good for snacks/drinks etc.
3 easy excursions from the hotel :- 1) Funicular /cable car to Hafelekar (2300m) but costs about GBP 23pp - but if the weather is clear, the views are stunning. 2) Take the trams 1 + 6 to Igles (only costs GBP 3) and there are plenty of easy walks around the village. 3) Bergisel - the Olympic Park - bit of an uphill walk to the Ski Jump area but excellent views from the 'panorama' terrace (cost about GBP 9 pp).
