Seehotel Sissi

The hotel is relatively far from the train station. The hotel had changed the confirmation number before arrival, so we waited about half an hour before entering after we had call them by phone because it was slef check in. We found pure bath soap and there was no one in the hotel to ask.

The hotel in very nice location but there is no service, no one in the reception if we need something and no elevator and my mother was suffering from this issue and I already spoke with them and the didn’t change the room and they give room to another people in ground floor really sad

Perfect small friendly ski/walking hotel located in Zell am See a short walk from the town centre and lifts. The rooms are spacious, recently modernised to a good standard and there’s plenty of hot water for showers. The restaurant is continental breakfast only, but it’s excellent and served with a warm welcome ever morning. There is a modern sauna, it’s spacious and for textile free - perfect after a day on the mountain. Skiing in the area is excellent, great restaurants and busses connecting two other resorts close by. If skiing leave your skis at the hire shop by the City Express lift for €2 per day.

Overall very nice hotel that I highly recommend. Excellent location. Great view of the mountains. Very nice and friendly staff. Clean and safe. Nicely organized breakfast. Disadvantages: The main issue is the lack of an elevator. There very few parking spots (for 6 cars only). The hotel is close to the train railway which causes considerable noise especially in rooms with lake view.

The hotel is clean and the staff very pleasant. The views on the lakeside are stunning. Breakfast is a good continental with scrambled eggs every morning. The location to the lifts and the town centre is about a 10 minute walk but you can leave your skis in the ski hire shop at the bottom of the city express lift included in the ski hire price. If you want to leave your boots it has to be done in a ski locker at 2 euros a day. That said there is a perfectly decent boot and ski room at the hotel. We were in room 2 on the ground floor which was good as we did not have to take our heavy bags up potentially 4 floors as there is no lift. The bathroom is very dated and there was no door on the toilet. The shower above the path was cold or luke warm at best. Sadly not warm enough for a bath. In addition when you had a shower the water ran along the rim of the bath and onto the floor unless you put a towel at the end of the shower screen. The biggest issue for us however was the trains. They run mainly through the night and are right outside the windows. The heating is very warm so we wanted the windows open whilst we slept but this meant being awoken by every train. Even with the windows shut the trains are very noisy as many are long freight trains with screeching brakes. We are going to try to get some ear plugs from the chemist this morning but I would not advise this hotel if you are not a very deep sleeper. As an aside soft drinks in Zell am See are more expensive than beer. 6 euros a pint for coke and 3.5 euros for a beer!

I love the staffs. All useful information was provided right when I checked in: Public transporation, holidays, parking situation, etc. The lady preparing breakfast in the morning had great energy and so friendly. She didn't speak English but I can feel her warm welcome. She was so busy but still give her best attention to the guests and deliver great energetic welcome to everyone. One small detail that showing their great service, is providing to go cup for coffee. I did not have much time for my breakfast and that to go coffee was so helpful. I have been stayed in lot of 4 stars hotel and non of them provide this. Our stay is so awesome that we feel sad to leave. If I visit Zell am See again, I will definitely stay at Seehotel Sissi.

A small B&B close to the Lake. Trains run frequently along the track between the Hotel and the lake. There are about 38 rooms over 4 floors. The Hotel has a small ski room in the basement with boot warming racks and also in the basement is a, free to use, Sauna with shower and a relaxation area with complimentary towels, open 4:30-8:30pm each evening. There is no lift so not ideal for those less mobile. Rooms vary in size and occupancy. Room 32 on the top floor is very small Twin, with slimline beds and limited storage. OK for one person, but would be extremely small for 2. There is a TV in the room and there is a side view of the lake from the windows (no balcony). I slept with the windows open and the the noise from the trains didn’t wake me. The bathroom was spotlessly clean (March 2023) and the shower was quite powerful with shower gel provided. Tissues, loo roll, Liquid soap and towels are also provided (1 bath & 1 Hand/Face. For guests staying Saturday - Saturday, towels are changed once per week on Wednesdays. There is a charge of you require a more frequent change. Rooms are cleaned & beds made, most days. Breakfast, served 07:30-09:30, is a typical selection of meats and cheese slices, soft cheese triangles, eggs (alternating hard boiled & scrambled), tomatoes & cucumber. There is a variety of breads available (with toaster) cereals, milk, juice, yoghurt, Oranges & Apples, Jam and chocolate spread. You can make your own Waffles and there area variety Tea’s and a coffee machine (free, ignore the charge sign at breakfast). Room vacation on day of departure is 10:00am.

Very sweet hotel. Great location overlooking lake zell and 5 minutes walk to town. Only a 2 minute walk to the lido. There are regular trains going past the back of the hotel which are quite noisy but that’s the way it is for quite a lot of hotels in Zell am See. The location is worth it. We upgraded to a balcony room overlooking the alps. Our side view was of the lake. The room was always cleaned well and was a decent size. Breakfast nice. Hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Was nice to see her always in traditional dress. Thought the hotel was brilliant value for quite an expensive town. Could well recommend this hotel.
