I've stayed at the Alpenrose on and off for the past 10 or more years, and every time I have the opportunity to stay there again, I very much look forward to it -- and I am never disappointed!

The original building is very old, but it and the additions are well constructed and maintained, and it is strong, safe, and secure. Kufstein is one of the safest cities in Austria, and there is no more comfortable or secure feeling that one could get than is realized at the Alpenrose. The owners/managers are sophisticated and charming, and their justifiable pride radiates from their faces as much as it is reflected on everything inside and outside the neat-as-a-pin hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the public areas are subdued and charming. The food in the restaurant is some of the best I've had in Austria, and it is beautifully served. Parking is proximate and free, and a lift will take you to any needed guest floor or down to the breakfast room (where a quite adequate breakfast is available... if one is unable to be pleased with this breakfast, then it's time to leave Europe, because as breakfasts go in traditional European hotels, this one is perfectly fine; only the big obnoxious hotel chains slop breakfast by the kilo, so unless you are in training for sumo at the Olympics, this breakfast will certainly meet your needs).

A visit to Kufstein is great and relaxing. A visit to the Alpenrose makes a visit to Kufstein even more enjoyable and rewarding.

I just spent a couple of days at the Alpenrose, my first visit. Before I got there I had read about the alledged disappointing breakfast buffet and had braced myself accordingly. Well, either things recently changed drastically, or some travellers need a reality check. The wonderful Austrian breakfast offerings were just what I was hoping, with fresh fruits and juices, various cereals, homemade jams, yogurts, cold cuts and cheeses, a selection of breads, semmels, croissants, and cakes, and that fantastic European coffee. Herr Telser, the impeccable owner of the inn, was very attentive with his service and offered eggs to anyone who wanted some, prepared the way they wished. Yes, such a scrumptious menu is very different from the fat-laden, sugar-heavy American breakfasts some enjoy, but it's typically Austrian, and why would anyone want it any other way in Austria? Dinners were indeed memorable, with very appealing presentations of delectable meats, fish, vegetables, and fine sauces, and Herr Telser and his staff again shined. Herr Telser is a member of the Tirol Wine Experts Association(my translation), and his expertise showed in the fantastic selection of wines the menu offered and his informative, elegant commentary on each. The inn's room are comfortable, clean, and quiet, nothing spectacular, but leaving nothing to be desired either. All in all a great place to stay!

We stayed last month with our two teen girls and had a lovely room overlooking the mountains and castle that was clean, spacious and the added plus - two bathrooms! There was a pull door section between the girls space and ours. Additionally there were two TVs so we could watch what we wanted and the girls what they wanted. My husband and daughter used the sauna in the evening and reported back that it was excellent. We all dined in the restaurant and the quality of the food was much higher than expected. Excellent selection for every taste, presentation was very gourmet and good service. I'm a foodie so this was a hit w/ me, especially the chestnut soup! I agree with the reviewer from 2004 that the breakfast was a bit lacking, especially for a facility that has such an excellent restaurant. We paid a pretty decent price for this little town (188 Euro) and compared to other hotels on our stay I will admit the breakfast was lacking compared to other hotels we stayed in. This buffet just had cold items and minimal selection. Overall you can't beat that there are things to do in this little town (Reidel factory and castle tour) so it is a great stop for one night.

From the minute you check in to the moment you leave, this friendly hotel sees to your every need. Our room was first class with a baby cot for my daughter and extra towels. Attention to detail was what set it apart from the other hotels.

The meals were excellent and good value for money and the town of Kufstein and the railway station (for further adventures)was a mere 15 minute walk away.

Thoroughly recommended!!
