Hotel Traube

Central location

Excellent location in the centre of town

Nothing to dislike

Excellent location right in the center of Zell am See, close to everything, with a surprisingly nice lateral lake view. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable, with great non-feather pillows, chocolates on the bed, a coffee machine in each room, strong WiFi, and a fan provided. We stayed in both a budget room and a larger family room with a separate bedroom and living room with a sofa bed, and both were very comfortable. There is also an elevator at the back of the hotel, which is helpful for guests with mobility difficulties. The lady in charge at reception was extremely helpful and accommodating. The hotel’s restaurant was very good, and breakfast had plenty of healthy and vegetarian options. I especially liked the sunny-side-up eggs. The Zell am See-Kaprun Mobility Card was also included, which was a great benefit. Overall, I found the hotel excellent in terms of location, amenities, cleanliness, comfort, and value — in some ways even better than neighboring five-star hotels.

No Sommerkarte - this would have saved us a lot of money on cable cars, boat trips, and other attractions. There is no in-room fridge, although the lady in charge kindly let us store food in the hotel kitchen fridge. Croissants at breakfast would also have been a nice addition.

The hotel itself was good value and the breakfast was excellent

The noise . As a 52 year old fairly well travelled man I can honestly say I have stayed in a hotel with more (mostly external) noise . The last drunken shouts usually ended about 2 in the morning and the first delivery vans and banging of crates etc started from 5:15 onwards. Hovering started at 6:15 closely followed by church bells . If you are a light sleeper like me I would avoid
