Hotels near Pension Gstrein Inh Edgar Gstrein, Innsbruck-Igls

Breakfast is very ordinary European hotel breakfast. The environment and service of the hotel is really good: the heated indoor swimming pool, the great outdoor leisure equipment and the superb views. Highly recommended!

Located on the outskirts of Innsbruck the hostel is relatively easy to get to. From the central station you just walk around the corner and catch the number 3 tram (heading for Amras). After a few stops you get off at `Pilippine-welser strabe’ and then walk for about ten minutes. Incidentally, if your flight is a morning one, don’t turn up at the hostel in the hope of an early check-in as there is no receptionist until 14.00. So unless you want to sit outside and twiddle your thumbs you would be better off placing your bags in one of the rail station lockers and having a look around the city. Our room was small and basic (no television etc.) and our allocated bathroom was across the corridor. But it was all high spec and, in keeping with the rest of the hostel, spotlessly clean. The receptionists were polite, knowledgeable and helpful (don’t forget to ask for your welcome card which gives you free travel on the trams and buses within the city). Breakfast was more than sufficient to keep us going for most of the day, although some might feel that the choice on offer a bit limited. Should we ever return to Innsbruck we’d be happy to stay at the Marmota again.

Was hoping for so much better. We were on a Trafalgar Tour and stayed at this hotel on December 13, 2023. We were told it would be a 5 star hotel. First thing that happened was they lost our (and many others in our group) luggage. I asked at the front desk and they said ”We have never had problems getting luggage to the proper rooms. It's your tour operator's problem, there's nothing we can do further. After 2 hours our luggage still hadn't shown up. Went to reception, and another Trafalgar guest was there, who's luggage was also lost. Finally they had someone from reception go to the tour's rooms. Our luggage was found, however, the other guest's luggage was still missing. Our tour director went room to room (not just our tour's rooms, but EVERY room starting on the first floor.) and finally found their luggage in the 37th room she checked. It was an empty room with nobody staying there. Then, I found there was no remote for the TV or extra pillows. Requested them at front desk. They were delivered to my room, but the pillows were terribly mismatched. Carpet was stained and somewhat dirty. At our evening meal, they wanted to charge my wife extra for a refill on her soda/pop. Overall, this was the low-lite hotel in our tour. Not worth the money they charged our tour. Their customer/front desk service was bad, at best. Most Reception persons had a bad ”attitude”. Would never stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is in a convenient location for getting around - next to the train and bus station for links to the airport, international/national trains in other cities, the Swarovski crystal world and around a 10 minute easy walk to the old town. We were checked in early by a very friendly lady on reception who initially let us store our luggage. The snow capped mountain views from the room (ours was on the 8th floor) are stunning and framed perfectly by the big windows. The hotel reception and room was stylishly decorated. In the room, there was a small window that could be opened and the air conditioning was very quiet, though doesn’t go down to the 10c on the thermostat and seemed more like 20c. The bedding was very nice quality and had a soft and firm pillow - these were probably the most comfortable pillows I’ve experienced in a hotel before. The bathroom is, again, very modern with nice smelling hand wash and shower gel/shampoo. The shower head had a few different settings, including a massage mode which ran for a few seconds. The shelf for the shower gel/shampoo wasn’t very strong though, so had to be held or rested elsewhere and the pump head kept getting stuck, but otherwise was very good and the towels were very soft and thick. The room was fairly quiet, but you could hear other people in other rooms so it doesn’t appear to be soundproofed in any way. Noise from outside (trains, buses and incoming aeroplanes) were very minimal though and did not disturb us. We found the room cleaning system a little strange - there are two cards that you can put on the door. One is not to be cleaned at all during the day and the other is not to have the room cleaned at that time and needs to be removed before 2pm. There isn’t anything to put on the door when you want it to be cleaned, you just have to remove both from the door handle. We initially had the card attached to the door not to disturb at that time (overnight) and then removed it in the morning at 11am and the room had not been cleaned. We were able to get clean towels from reception though. It would be better in my opinion to have a card to have the room cleaned rather than two not to have it cleaned as most people would surely want the room cleaned. We went to the bar on the 13th floor during our stay. This can be visited by hotel guests and non hotel guests. This looks very nice and has great views all around, as well as an outdoor area with blankets. The prices of the drinks are reasonable and comparable with elsewhere in the city. We sat outside and then asked at the bar for a couple of drinks. We were told that there wasn’t any bar service for the outside area - only the inside (which is not a problem at all). However, it was a bit awkward when paying, the lady making the drinks asked if I wanted to give a tip. Given that the drinks were just being made and not brought to our table, I did not give a tip. I may be over thinking this, however it fe

Excelent Hotel. If you want to just hang out and have the best time of your life I highly recommend it. Friendly Staff, super quiet, super clean. Best breakfast in town. The road up there is amazing and it's everything it claims it is. I've spent 3 nights and it is worth every penny.

La posizione è indubbiamente molto comoda al centro della città, si può parcheggiare a pagamento sulle strisce blu della zona oppure nel parcheggio sotterraneo del supermercato adiacente. La hall è grande e ci sono delle poltrone ed un TV a disposizione in attesa delle camere. Eravamo un gruppo di persone che avevano prenotato stanze singole, doppie e famigliari, concordando i prezzi prima del nostro arrivo, quindi capisco che fare le registrazioni per tutti coloro che sono arrivati quasi insieme il sabato mattina (qualcuno era arrivato il giorno prima) può essere farraginoso, però erano in due addetti alla Reception e non si andava avanti. Finalmente ci siamo fatti dare tutti il modulo da compilare e mentre andavano avanti con le singole registrazioni li abbiamo riconsegnati in pochi minuti. Le stanze per molti di noi non erano pronte (corretto, visto che devono essere a disposizione dalle ore 14,00) quindi abbiamo chiesto di lasciare i bagagli e siamo andati a pranzo e lì è partita un’altra vicenda surreale. Invece di prendere i talloncini per tutti i bagagli (circa una quindicina) ce li hanno consegnati uno alla volta dopo che, ancora uno alla volta, li hanno portati in una stanza off limits per noi. Una perdita di tempo infinita. Tutto con la massima gentilezza ed educazione. Parliamo delle stanze. Sono belle, luminose e grandi (poi su questo ne riparliamo), e grazie agli infissi di ultima generazione sono anche silenziose. Un fatto importante perché lì davanti il traffico è notevole la sera. La pulizia è esemplare, anche se la mattina della domenica, verso le 9, quando siamo usciti dalle stanze le signore delle pulizie avevano messo a terra davanti alle stanze che venivano lasciate uno strofinaccio a significare, immagino, che erano quelle dove cambiare tutta la biancheria. Insomma, non è bella da vedere questa distesa di strofinacci in un hotel a 4 stelle che vorrebbe essere elegante, sembra più la Pensione Mariuccia a Rimini. La colazione è abbondante per il salato, un po’ più ridotta per il dolce, ma davvero non manca nulla. Non capisco però come sia possibile che i filoni di pane siano a disposizione dei clienti senza l’avvertenza di usare un panno o dei guanti per prenderli e tagliare ognuno le fette: decisamente antigienico (poi siamo appena usciti dal Covid…). Però tutto quanto sopra è in effetti solo un suggerimento per migliorare un livello di servizio alto, ma con qualche sbavatura. La cosa davvero grave e che proprio non mi è piaciuta è stato il check-out che, prima che essere estremamente lento (un solo addetto inizialmente nonostante la lunga fila di clienti che se ne andavano dopo la colazione) è stato fatto applicando un prezzo superiore a quello concordato al momento della prenotazione. Alle mie rimostranze l’addetto si è giustificato affermando che la stanza che mi avevano assegnato era più grande della standard, ma io non l’avevo mai chiesta! È accaduto anche ad altre persone del nostro gruppo ed abbiamo chiesto di parlare

We stayed in the hotel for 2 days and the restaurant convinced us to spend a night extra. The hotel itself is very nice with glass and wood, really ”authentic”. The comfortable room with wood and a very sympathetic disguised style. The big weak point is the bathroom, which in turn the deep side becomes deteriorating. The hotel was very clean and the toilets are very low and the shower is very close ... but it's done well..Conclusion: Hotel that looks out of time, hot staff and family atmosphere, really very pleasant restaurant with very good and exquisite Austrian dishes, even with a baby
