We stayed 5 nights in the Post Hotel in Mar 08 and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The staff were very friendly, for the mostpart.

The food was varied and generally very high quality.

Our room was newly refurbished as were other that we could see as they were being cleaned.

The location is great - in the pedestrianised centre. It is a very short walk to the ski lifts (max 3 mins).

We stayed at the Post for Christmas 2007 and would have no hesitation to recommend the hotel.

The new owners have refurbished the common areas and rooms to provide a high standard of comfort with a modern theme but keeping the tradition of an old post inn. The service and hospitality is exactly what we would expect from a quality Austrian hotel. Marina and Christian are excellent hosts - on Christmas Eve we were all invited to gather outside in the square for gluhwein around log fires, followed by carol singing with the family and a superb meal.

The Planai lift is less than 5 minutes walk away and being in the square at Christmas has a special feeling. The hot chestnut stall was a particular favourite whilst the hotel also have an apres ski and evening bar/lounge there called Cabalou which has a relaxed feel but again with efficient service.

We could not fault the "new" Alte Post!

I am just back from a weeks holiday at the alte post hotel, schladming.
we were concerned after reading reviews from last year but were very pleasantly surprised.
The hotel had a change of ownership in October 2005 and it shows.
The staff were very helpful and professional, the food is excellent - a huge breakfast buffet, afternoon tea and cake and a 6 course meal for 5 days and a wonderful buffet on the last night.
There is a nice bar and some comfy chairs/sofas off of reception with free internet access in reception.
our room was one of the cheaper options but had a good bathroom with lashings of hot water, tv. mini bar, good bed and was very clean. the decor in some of the older room may need a bit of an update but overall they were very nice.
the boot room and ski room are a little small but your not in there for long!
the location is superb; on the main pedestrian area with shops and bars near by (we did not find these noisy but we were on the 3rd floor). the main planai lift is only a five minute level walk away.
i hope readers of the reviews will read these most recent entries and give the Alte Post a chance.

There has been a change of ownership and the hotel is back to its former glory. Everything is of high quality, including decor, rooms, staff attitude, food and service. Previous reviews should now be treated with caution.
