Hotel Pension Pinzgauer Hof

Among all the new high end places in Alm the Pinzgauer Hof reminds me of ‘the good old times’. Simple, great hospitality, clean and the breakfast buffet is a joy. We’ll be back!

We loved our stay at Pinzgauer Hof. Our family stayed at the Landal down the road and though more modern they were complaining about the noise from the traffic coming through while everything was so peaceful and quiet for us. The Hof is conveniently placed at the foot of the mountain next to the gondola. The owner also took her time to advise us on the area and helped us to plan a nice walk in the mountains with our family. The vibe of the place is more traditional which we both preferred over the shickie mickie style that appears to be all the rage everywhere else. Breakfast was also lovely! I would certainly stay here again!

We stayed here February 2020 for one week of skiing and can only recommend the Hotel Pension Pinzgauer Hof to everyone. The location is very close to the ski lift. The rooms are decent sized (note: the showers in the bathroom do not have a curtain, so the bathroom floor will be wet, but it's heated and dries fast). Our room was always warm, even after we switched of the heater. It was slightly too warm at night in the room, not sure about the heat source as the heater was cold. Also, the hotel is in the center of Maria Alm and the church is right next door. Our room did not face the church and we were never bothered by the bells, but room facing the church will hear the bells starting 6am until 11pm. Food was good. A huge breakfast every morning. Dinner consisted of a salad buffet bar, a starter, a main dish (the hotel offers two choices) and a desert (I would have preferred a local cuisine for desert instead of being served curdling creme brulee - Austria has so many amazing sweet treats!!!). I want to highlight that the hotel offered an excellent vegetarian meal for those of us who do not eat meat/ fish. Overall, I can highly recommend the Hotel Pension Pinzgauer Hof.
