Kinderhotel Appelhof

We liked that hotel offered plenty of activities for kids: pool, kids club, animals, etc. Stuff was amazing and we definitely recommend it. They even offer you a free wine bootle that you can choose and take it with you in the room.

Nothing that I can remember

This hotel is a gem if you travel with kids. Great facilities, lots of things to do with kids - playgrounds, animations, swimming pool - all of it nested inside beautiful nature. Every staff member was extra friendly. I would 100% recommend to anyone

It was in beautiful surroundings and had fantastic facilities for kids. They were never bored and in such good moods the whole holiday, being outside in the fresh air and entertained.

The indoor pool felt a little unsafe with no life guard and lots of excess water around the pool which our kids kept slipping on. If we weren’t travelling with a German speaker we would have struggled a lot as there was nothing in English.

Well, the kids activities were excellent, and so was the fact that everything from the height of sinks to the buffet was designed for small children. My little one definitely had a good time.

Some staff members were great, but too many were rather unprofessional - not just unhappy to speak English (after me trying in German), but just behaving unprofessionally in general. In the kid's club, they didn't sign in and out (just one time during the whole week), not really paying attention who the kids are leaving with. One of the staff members older daughter (around 8 or 9) brought makeup and a phone to the kids playroom. One staff member walked into the swimming pool area without changing, standing right by the edge of the pool in muddy boots! (There is an animal farm so this is extra disgusting). And those just some examples. Would definitely not visit again, despite the great facilities.

I have two young kids, the hotel has everything to keep them entertained and the food is pretty good.

We liked everything except that it was a little far for us

Amazing hotel. Beautiful location. Food delicious and good selection of drinks on tap available 7am-midnight. Loads for the kids to do (huge indoor / outdoor play areas, petting zoo, pony riding/grooming, adventure activities, crafts, varing evening activity such as disco /fire pit). Pool and spa are great. The whole place is designed with kids in mind but is a luxury experience for parents as well. Staff work really hard. Lots of amazing memories made. We'd love to go back.

Booking.com showed images of a bunk bed in the room, but we didn't get this so children were sad. Also no shower (well you can if you sit down in the bath), but huge bath and could shower down by the pool after a swim. Would also be nice to have drinks in the room. Should be obvious as it's Austria, but do note you need to speak a level of German, though most staff happy to translate to English for you if ask. Kids club says only for up to 7 year olds (though they did let my 8 year old stay, and older children could probably be allowed to "roam free" in the site however as car free).
