Another great stay at the Gamper.

A really lovely, friendly Hotel in a great position in Obergurgl for the skiing. Excellent food.

Two minutes walk to the ski school meeting place and you can ski back to this point too.

A few changes within the restaurant this year including a new Buffet area used at Breakfast and on the one evening for the Farmers Buffet.
A chefs station at breakfast making omelettes/ eggs.
Fresh orange juice machine.
Coffee is still brought to you at table but a new coffee machine has been installed for you to help yourself to for Latte's and Cappuccino's.

The smoke mentioned in an earlier review was not as bad this year......they ask that you do not smoke in the bar area till after 9pm.....we did not find the smoke issue a problem at all and we are non smokers.

The staff are very helpful and friendly. Anna and her staff could not be more welcoming with nothing being too much trouble. Very professional and the Hotel is kept beautifully clean.

We travelled there once again with Inghams and got one of the newly refurbished rooms to the front of the Hotel. However not all the rooms with that tour operator are the new type though I understand the bathrooms are all new and updated. One or two nights we were awoken by some noisy revellers leaving from the Josl Keller late but that is certainly not the fault of the Hotel Gamper.

We would highly recommend the Gamper and hope to return again next year.

The hotel is in a great location, staff friendly, rooms clean, spacious and the food good. But and it is huge BUT, they do not enforce the Austrian smoking laws in the hotel. So by 6pm in the bar is full of cigarette smoke. Our clothes smell of smoke... not nice!

So I won't be going back and if you are a non-smoker you may want to give it a wide berth.

This was our fifth time of staying at The Gamper and as always it was perfect. The level of service is second to none. When we arrived we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They all speak excellent English and nothing is too much trouble for them.

The bedrooms have recently been refurbished to a high standard and both the rooms and the whole hotel are kept spotlessly clean.

The food is always high class with a good variety at breakfast and in the evening. The chef has been awarded several medals for his cooking. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and the staff are always cheerful.

There is a "Wellbeing Centre" in the basement with a sauna and steam room. Perhaps the only thing it is lacking is a Jacuzzi.

It is an easy walk (just a couple of minutes) from the hotel to the main lift and ski-school meeting place.

The owners of the Gamper also own The Nederhutte on the slopes, a brilliant place for lunch and apres-ski iwth live music.

All in all, we just can't fault the Gamper.

We choose the Gamper on the basis of the favourable Trip Advisor reviews.

Everything that is reported about the superb staff, food and location are undeniably true.

We unfortunately found our junior suite to be disappointing. The room was large with a separate seating area but it was tired and in need of a considerable amount being spent on it. The curtains are summer weight, the carpets are immaculately clean but old, the bathroom needed a complete makeover although there had been underfloor heating installed for this and the adjacent toilet.

Our main problem however was that our room was on the top floor and built into the roof area (in part). There were therefore very high ceilings making for a very large area to heat.

The central heating did not work and we remained cold for more than 24 hours and 3 complaints before they brought us a standalone radiator which alleviated the worst of the problem.

This was extremely dissapointing considering that night time temperatures were -12.

Also there were real signs of cost cutting again allied to the heating system. As this is predominantly a ski hotel hot water dissappeared at 11.00am returning at about 4.00pm and then again from 11.00pm to 6.30am.
