This restaurant is a great place to stop as you're taking a stroll from Lofer to St. Martin (or…read morebeyond, as we did, to the Maria Kirchental). You will find traditional fare here. I had a very large salad with strips of turkey on it. I'm not sure you'd find that as a first option in the states, but it's a fine protein. It was well seasoned and gave me sustenance for the climb. My husband and sons had susages and those all came with french fries (not sure why frites seem to be everywhere!). I think this would be a nice place to stay, also. I'm basing this on the friendly staff and the clean bathrooms.

We visited Schloß Grubhof in October of 2009. It was part of a tour of lower Germany, Austria and…read morethe Czech Republic. The property is absolutely stunning -- you are surrounded by beautiful mountains, tall evergreens and a massive grass lawn -- it's quite picturesque. As for the hotel, the amenities are very basic -- while it's perfectly acceptable (clean, tidy), you can tell that the management believes the property speaks for itself and makes little effort to enhance your stay with resort-quality amenities (massage, spa services, room decoration/design). Also, while the rooms are painted a soothing light color, the pink walls in the hallway are very off-putting, especially when the automatic lighting turns off. While I can appreciate the energy-efficiency of such a system, it just feels creepy to step out of your room at night with little to no lighting down the hallway and these circus pink walls reflecting off everything. It's a shame really, because there are some paintings and a brilliant stained glass window that are a pleasure to look at. The staff were helpful when we wanted directions to Innsbruck and thankfully spoke English well, as my German is... lacking. I'm not sure I would insist on staying here again if I were to return to the area, but that's not to say I was dissatisfied with the experience -- i've just had better.
