Booked the "Internet Early-bird" non-changeable special on the Best Western website for a double on Sunday/Monday, September 12-13, 2010. No problem with the reservation, though your card is NOT charged until checkout, despite what the website says. The room was very, very nice - big bathroom with soaker tub and European hand-held shower head (though no shower curtain - strange), huge bed with a balcony, flowers in the window, etc. Very clean. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and it was very, very nice - strudels/tortes, various yogourts/Quarks/cereals fresh fruit, semmeln, etc. The location is spectacular for summer if you like being out of the city, in the mountains, with dozens of hiking trails to choose from. The villages of Lans, Igls, and Sistrans were charming and we thoroughly enjoyed being "away from it all" yet only 15 minutes from the bustling centre of Innsbruck. Walked all over the place, though weather and time prevented us from taking one of the big hiikes up into the mountain peaks. This hotel, bought by the current owners in November of 2009 (according to the gent at the desk) aims at the "Kur-crowd", which can be good, can be bad. Good: the rural, peaceful setting high above Innsbruck, the clean air, hiking trails, cowbells tinkling in the distance all make for a wonderfully relaxing stay. The basement has a spa (free for guests) with a lukewarm jacuzzi, nice Finnish dry sauna (80 deg C, no clothes allowed), a "Dampfenbad" or moist sauna with aromatherapy (I could smell eucalyptus and menthol but there might have been others) plus a cold (VERY COLD) plunge and cold shower, with light snacks, lots of water, and some lounges to lie on while recovering from your sauna. Very warm, and spotlessly clean. Not so good: Folks without a car need to be very careful with buses. From Innsbruck Hbf you need Bus 'J' - Olympia Express to the "Badhaussiedlung" stop, right in front of the hotel. The trick is finding the bus from the Hbf. To find this bus, first go to Tourist Info and get their free map of the city. Go up the escalator and go out the door - there should be lots of bus stalls in front of you - this is NOT where your bus departs! Turn right from in front of the Hbf entrance and walk 2-3 blocks to the Museumstrasse - bear right on Museumstrasse, go under the railroad tracks to the first pedestrian crossing - cross Museumstrasse, and then cross again to your left (make a right angle from where you leave) to get to the bus stop for Bus J - Olympia Express - you should see the sign to your right once you make the second crossing. Make SURE you take a bus "Olympia Express" - Landessportcenter doesn't work - you don't even get out of the city, and the Patscherkofel bus stops too soon, leaving you to call the hotel or walk uphill to the hotel (see below). The bus runs until 7:30 pm on Mon-Friday, but only until 4 o'clock on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. If you don't have a car and get to Innsbruck Hbf after these times, you must take a taxi to the hotel. If you are desperate, you can take a "Patcherkofel" bus but this only gets you to the base of the Patcherkofel lift - it is a 40 minute walk uphill to Romerstrasse, then a 200 m walk to your left to the hotel (this is what my wife and I had to do). If you have a cell phone, and can only get to Patcherkofel, try calling the hotel and they might come get you. Though the hotel has WiFi, you must bring your own PC - no PC is available for guests, and there is not internet cafe in Igls/Lans. Finally, the help behind the desk wasn't horribly helpful once they gave us a tourist map. Not rude, not dismissive, but not willing to go beyond their understanding of the rules. Once we learned what to expect, and figured out the buses, we had a wondeful time and have no hesitation recommending this as an alternative to the more expensive properties in the city.

the hotel is 10 minutes by foot from the olympiaexpress ski area with a fantastic view of the patscherkofel mountain on one side and with a pastoral landscape in the other.
we received very friendly service,tasty breakfast(also in the evening an italian restaurant very special).we learnt to ski with snowsport igls ski school and we had a very good time.

We stayed at the hotel in June for 3 nights, and had a wonderful time. The hotel receptionist (Hannes), went out of his way in helping us plan our day trips in and around Innsbruck. We got a very large room with lots of windows and balcony, we were probably upgraded. The breakfast was very good, with excellent service from the hotel staff. Next time we're in the neiborhood, we'll stay here for sure.

The rooms were large and comfortable with a nice balcony and view from the room. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is great value for money.
