“Top location but no 4*”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We spent just one night as we had a birthday party nearby. Good things first: the location is really top. Tremendous view on Traunsee right on the central place of the City of Gmunden. also if you have a breakfast or a drink on the terrace of the restaurant. We were also satisfied with the service. The night-watchman gave us a new key card at 4 in the morning as ours did not open the door. At breakfast buffet (quiet well) we received fresh ham&eggs as the scrambled eggs were already finished.

Nevertheless the golden times of the hotel are already past. They would really need to do some investments and refurbishment. If you like the movie "Sound of Music" you might like it. As it seems, that all the furnishment from that time is still there.

As a summary the impression was fair. Top location, good service but appearance really antiquated and not worth the 120 Euro for the double we paid.

“Perfect place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2010

Gorgeous style, breathtaking view of the Traunsee and mountains. Great location right on the town square (and still delightfully peaceful). Great hiking in the mountains nearby. Terrific hosts, nice breakfast buffet. Loved it!

“Excellent Hotel”

After a grave disappointment caused by another local hotel, hotel Seehotel Schwan put a smile back on our faces.

Lake facing room on the second floor, nice restaurant and helpful staff (had a nice family run feel). Would be more than happy to stay their again.

“Great location, poor standard”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2009

Seehotel Schwan has a great location in Gmunden overlooking the lake. But that's all you gonna get. The hotel looks like the owner has not invested in it since the early 1980's. You can find hundreds of better places to stay in Austria for the same money.

“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2007

A comfortable, friendly hotel in an excellent position. The food and service were excellent and every posssible consideration given in respect of a wheelchair user in her 90s. My one criticism is that a bedroom and bathroom need to be made more wheelchair friendly, but the hotel has accepted this criticism. Would stay there again.
