Schlossparkhotel Mariakirchen

Lovely modern clean hotel. Rooms are good size with high ceilings. Bathrooms also modern with lots of glass. Staff helpful and friendly. Lovely restaurant and beer garden next to hotel. Great for summer. Room a little hot as weather very warm.

Very friendly staff. Large very well appointed room with all mod cons. Excellent breakfast. Nice outdoor German beer garden style barbecue restaurant next door, which is part of the Schloss complex. Very popular with us and the locals on the Friday night we were there. Hotel doesn't have standard restaurant other than for breakfast.

We booked late, and while we thought we got a room in the castle-part, we in fact got a room at a new anonymous building up at the road. The building was unwelcoming and dark when we got there, not very good marked, and there were no parking spots free, so we had to park at a resident parking-space across the road. The room was big but stank of paint-fumes or adhesives, the room was recently decorated so I guess it had not been used much, nor aired out much. The result was splitting headaches for both myself and my wife the morning after. The room layout was okay, but for a family-room it was quite confusing, the beds were placed well enough, but the bathroom was completely open solution with glass walls directly into the shower, try convincing your teenage daughter to take a shower while everyone is watching. And the mirror on the wall did not make it much more private, it gave direct views from the double bed into the shower-stall. The double-bed was nice and wide, but incredibly hard, so none of us slept well at all. This is a personal preference, we like softer beds, but it was a major issue for us. Because of the fumes/smell we had to have the windows open all night, and at 5 am commuter-traffic started right outside our window, so we did not get any more sleep after that either way. It's about a meter from the hotel to the road, so the noise was very noticeable. The breakfast serving was fine, nothing spectacular but perfectly adequate.
