Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer

Location, location, location, plus it's just an iconic place in the Village.

I will never book with this hotel again! I had to have emergency surgery and ask for a refund OR to change our dates. I furnished them with a letter from my doctor. They refused both where the other hotels we had booked in Colorado refunded with no hesitation. Very rude staff/manager. Do not recommend.

This was a special place! One of the first hotels in Vail, it oozes charm and history with lots of memorabilia throughout of its dashing owner Pepi, once a world class skier. Just steps from the gondola, we stayed at a riverfront room and enjoyed our continental breakfast each day as well as perfect access to Vail’s shops. We met Pepi’s (deceased 2019) equally impressive and warm wife Sheika, who was co-founder and still hands on day - since its founding in 1964. Bonus: the Austrian hotel restaurant “Pepi’s” had the best veal sausages and gravy I’ve ever tasted, and the food was delicious! Beds and sheets were supremely comfortable and overall we loved feeling like we were in a small alpine hotel in the mountains of Austria. Not super fancy but full of charm and warmth and friendly service. We will definitely be back!

Location, charming exterior

Dated, no AC, replacing towels was difficult, smelled musty, food was mediocre, not handicapped accessible

The location is lovely. The hotel history is interesting.

One thing I definitely did not like was the coffee at breakfast. I realise there is a certain charm and character about this place, but it is outdated. The table and desk chairs in our room are so thin when you sit down your bum falls down into the seat frame. For a hotel that was nearly empty, somehow we got stuck with room directly above the AC fans and next to the trash and recycle pickup which happens every morning at 8 am sharp. It has been loud and disruptive. The bathroom, for such a large room, is so small you can hardly turn around. We extended our stay by 1 night, 2x. The last night our booking, which was made at the front desk, was not completed. So when we arrived back from a day out we could not get into our room. Not a big deal, go downstairs and have the key card updated. Nope! Then we were told we did not have a booking at all. Instead of just saying let me sort this for you now. Instead, the reservationist made a 30 minute ordeal over finding the booking. My husband finally said enough you need to move this along now, my wife is waiting at the room in a very hot hallway upstairs. We had 2 rooms and this happened with both. They offered a 10% discount. For only 1 night. A whopping $22.00. Keep in mind, parking here is $70.00 p/nt. I’ve not even mentioned that out of 4 nights we have not been given clean sheets. I know because I got some dirt on the top sheet and it’s still there and we leave tomorrow. When they have cleaned our room they literally have thrown the towels up on the top shelf. There has been nothing neat or well respected about what we walk into after cleaning.

We stayed the night of July 5th and got a room on the street side. Never again! Bright lights through the curtain and noise til 3:00 in the morning. Would love to get a room on the creek side!

Great hotel! Staff is amazing, breakfast always fresh and multiple options to eat from.

The rooms don't have AC

1. There is no AC at all and not mentioned in booking details, Room got to 80F first night. Had to leave deck door open 24hrs a day with a box fan blowing in to cool it off. 2. No lock on door from inside of room 3. Two full size beds with old mattresses that were very uncomfortable. Rolled to middle on both. 3. Lock on bathroom door broken 4. Had to walk half mile from car to hotel with luggage. 5. No parking provided or covered in room cost. Had to pay $75 for 24hrs in public parking half mile away. 6. Only two of three room lamps worked in room 7. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Room stinks bad after someone uses bathroom. 8. Only two upright dinner chairs to sit in 9. Room over garbage pickup for garbage trucks. Woke up to their noise every morning because deck door had to be left open since there is no AC. 10. No refrigerator for food/drinks

Love the European charm.

Great location… quaint, charming and clean
