The host, George, his daughter, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. George even offered to pick me up from the train station and drove me to the hotel, making the check in process completely seamless. He then took the time to show me around the property, shared the fascinating history of the beautiful historic building, and patiently explained the many places of interest in the surrounding area in great detail. The complimentary Summer Card was another fantastic bonus, providing free access to public transport and numerous tourist attractions throughout the region, offering exceptional value for visitors. There is also a beautiful sauna located in the neighbouring historic building. While the exterior retains its old world charm, the interior is surprisingly modern and tastefully designed. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

“Lovely hotel and super helpful staff”

Beautiful period property with loads of charm

I have a policy that I normally do not rate things online. I generally like my hosts and I do not want to harm their business. Still, I want my reviews to be honest and helpful to others. This creates a tension where I enjoyed my experience but there was still room for improvement, at least in my mind. In this case, I enjoyed my experience so thoroughly, I have no hesitation in sharing my honest feelings: the accommodation and the host are both thoroughly charming and delightful. I have no thoughts for improvement.

“Most beautiful building!”

The building is simply fantastic! The outside wall paintings are naturally restorated but origins from as early as 1573. The main building offers everything you need for even a much longer stay than my two days. But I already plan to return.

“Had a wonderful few days and enjoyed the hospitality .”

“Warm welcome and everything on a high level. The staff is excelent.”

“Must stay!”

Absolutely fabulous building dating back from the Middle Ages. The newly renovated shed is now the spa is equally fabulous. I had a wonderful stay, largely thanks to the fantastic host, Georg. He truly went above and beyond to make me feel at home, always available to assist with anything I needed. His warmth and hospitality made my experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

“Loved staying here. Great location for ski bus and restaurants and wonderful hosts.”

Excellent breakfast. Superb old building, warm. Comfortle and friendly

“Historical guesthouse with most friedly staff”

Beautiful old guesthouse with an absolutely heartwarming welcome! Georg and his family immediately made us feel like home. We also got good tips for activities. Great breakfast to start the day and relaxing sauna to finish it of!

“Amazing House and Location -one for the history and landscape lovers”

I love history, so when I travel, I try to stay in places that have a sense of history or quirkiness or are in an awesome location and Gasthof zum Stern met all of those "requirements" and more. From the town of Oetz itself to the building that is hundreds of years old, I feel like I am stepping back in time, but in a good way. I truly felt literally at home here. The welcome could not have been friendlier, and all the staff were super happy and professional. I only had one night there, but I will try to book more and stay longer on my next European holiday. The room itself was very comfortable, and it even had a Nespresso machine (a novelty in Europe, I noticed). The bathroom was small but perfectly suitable, and the view of the Hausberg was rather lovely. Breakfast is one of the best I had in a long time. Also, they give the summer visitor card (Oetztal Sommer Card) to guests, and that is worth so much more. It is a Breakfast-only place but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is a drinks fridge where guests can help themselves and keep a list of their purchases and sort it at the end of the stay. Overall, it is one of the best places I stayed in my 9 weeks in Europe, and that is saying something:-)

Very comfortable owner and brother in-law very friendly. Lovely breakfast. Very zany bathroom!!

“Can’t wait to visit again!!!”

The atmosphere was great. George & Andy were superb hosts (only 30 years since I worked with them) 🤩 Breakfast was fab every day too and we liked the honesty bar system with outdoor seating area! 😁 Sauna facility and chilling room top notch….

Best owner attitude to customers I have ever seen. Friendly welcome. Awesome wellness. Very cozy building with library. Good parking space. Best price/value in the area. I would recommend it 100%

“Quiet, clean, charming, good value in Oetz”

Very charming place and the owners were extremely nice and helpful.

“Sauna in a barn”

Georg is a fantastic host, he makes you feel as you're part of his family. He welcomed us with a drink, and spent time explaining everything about the Gasthof and the area. He recommended a walk to a nearby lake. Breakfast is superb, and the sauna house in an old barn is just amazing. Private parking is available. The inn itself is incredible, with old furniture and a unique charm. And to top it off, the Oetz Summer Card is an appreciated bonus!

“Amazing hospitality”

Amazing hospitality - welcome drinks on arrival and incredible new sauna complex.

“Feel like home”

They are more than friendly and try their best to make u feel comfortable. Amazing Sauna, good breakfast, great location and the summer card facility is inclusive which gives u a facility of using bus journey and the access to many other facilities like free entry to swimming pools and museums etc.

George was the ultimate host. Explains everything, answers every question, advises about the route, weather, etc. Gives the Emek Otz summer ticket at no additional cost. Which gives free entry to most petitions in the valley. The room was new after renovation, clean and tidy. It's just fun to stay in a place like this.

“Stay in a really really Historical Austrian Guesthouse!”

Really heartly host, Georg, that makes it unique in a a really old buildung, full of history and stories! So if you like to feel the timelime from the middle age to now in a valley of the alps - u r rigt! (A bit like an old monestary). The hoster is also quite helpful an casual in going on with you. Breakfast is top of the mountains as well!

Really exceptional hotel. Friendly host and staff. Will definitely return in the future!
