I visited Austria for a few days mainly to see Salzburg. I heard Tyrol was great, and I wanted to see more of the Alps. So, I first came to TripAdvisor and looked at the options in Seefeld. My budget was fairly tight, and for that reason, I was prompted to look at the neighboring villages. Wow, am I happy that I did! I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like I owe it to other viewers and the kind staff at this guesthouse.
After a long year in university, I primarily wanted a few days to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery. Salzburg was fine, but I am so glad that I ended up in Mosern. The price of my single room at Ferienhotel Mosererhof was almost equivalent to what I paid for a dorm-like hostel in Salzburg; Ferienhotel Mosererhof even served a great breakfast! I found Seefeld to be a fine touristy town. The air had an amazing mountain-freshness about it which I did not even believed existed before that experience. However, I found Mosern to be the best place for me after all. Sure, it still has a number of hotels and is a little "touristy," but it's not crowed with shops like Seefeld. Plus, as a single girl traveling alone, I still very felt safe.
All over the area there are great hiking trails that were quiet in the summer, but again, when I was there, I still saw enough passers-by to give me sense of security. Near the hotel there is a nice lake. Initially, when I reserved the room, I was sure that the photos I saw advertising the hotel were stock photos, but the views are absolutely picturesque, and I would go all over again in order to just sit and look out the window.
You can take the train to Seefeld, but Mosern is a couple of kilometers away from the station. I emailed the staff (VERY FRIENDLY!) about this before arriving and they quickly responded to my concern, assuring me that taxis (about 12 Euro) and buses (until 6pm) run from the station to the hotel. The bus worked fine for me, and later I found that it was even a nice walk between Mosern and Seefeld when luggage wasn't an issue.
I definitely would like to return again one day.
