Everyone spoke English which was really convenient and helpful. There was a room for drying your ski boots and lots of cosy nooks to read in! Also, they handled my food allergies very well. My allergies were confirmed at every meal to make sure I could eat it. Just let them know ahead of time!

Laura, Austria

Our time at the Villa Excelsior was one of the most special stays ever: You dive right into Bad Gastein‘s glorious past when you enter the hotel: the beautiful flair and interior that reflects everything one adores about the last century - from the quaint lobby area to your room’s wallpaper, the small library salon and the breakfast tea set. Lovely details everywhere that make it an altogether great experience. Staff including the hotel‘s owner are wonderful. An authentic Bad Gastein dream come true!

Alexander, Germany

The staff was what made our experience great. The atmosphere throws you back into the past. The balcony had cast iron furniture and a great view of the mountains. The bar is very enjoyable with a wide selection of drinks.

Mihai, Switzerland

A fanatastic stay in a very nice hotel from the end of the 19th century, very tastefully decorated in the rooms and in all corridors and the stairwell. You have a very nice view of the whole valley from your room and balcony. The owners (Johanna and Christof) are very pleasant people who are genuinely concerned in the well-being of their guests. This manifests itself in the smallest details. The varied breakfast bufffet and the four course evening meal (with choice of starter and main course) are particularly tasty and prepared by Johanna and are served by top staff in a particularly cozy dining room and by candlelight on your table. The Austrian white wine from Burgenland, Tschida, is a true discovery with all this delicious food. You will be picked up at the station and you will be transported to and from the ski slopes as you wish. This hotel that we visited three times, remains an absolute winner and is really worth a very big detour or a destination in itself !

Hedwig, Belgium

Its very authentic hotel, worth staying. Decoration, rooms for bar and leisure. Extremely nice management and staff. Their own shuttle to ski area going there in morning every 15 minutes and taking you back at daytime. Close to the walking routes in the mountain / forrest. Their own sauna and bath. For some people interior might seem old, but thats the feature of the hotel. Its very harmonious with overall experience, and music in restaurant was amazing!

Nemra, Armenia

It is a beautiful and authentic villa with very friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Well organized for skiers with a ski storage room and boot dryers, ski shuttle that takes you to the resort every 15 minutes in the morning.

Lainry, Germany

all the staff were so committed and passionate to deliver excellent service. i was amazed by this. the hotel itself is like a real-time belle-epoque museum, which affects you in excellent manner.

Nevencica, Serbia

- a place with a great vibe: the villa and its pitoresque location, the people, the silver knives & forks, the classical music played during breakfast & dinner, the antique furniture, Dr. Freud's room and more all work together to create a unique athmosphere; - the hotel owned ski shuttle has precision timing and allows you to get smoothly and quickly to the slopes (register the day before to save your place on the shuttle); - great breakfast for a 3 star hotel; - exquisite dinner for just 15 euros/person/evening; - large rooms; - confortable parking;

Nickyadam, Romania

The hotel has a nice and charming feel, as if from the old days (in a good way, if you like that sort of thing!). The staff was super-helpful and friendly ready to assist even with the smallest troubles. Definitely this is a good place to stay if you are more into cosier and smaller hotels.

Linda, Belgium

Spacious room, warm and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

      눉The heat was always on in our room and it was a bit too warm. We slept with the window open even while it was snowing. Also, the sauna is small and quickly gets crowded but we still had plenty of opportunity. All in all, it was a really nice place to stay.

      눇Everyone spoke English which was really convenient and helpful. There was a room for drying your ski boots and lots of cosy nooks to read in! Also, they handled my food allergies very well. My allergies were confirmed at every meal to make sure I could eat it. Just let them know ahead of time!

      눇Our time at the Villa Excelsior was one of the most special stays ever: You dive right into Bad Gastein‘s glorious past when you enter the hotel: the beautiful flair and interior that reflects everything one adores about the last century - from the quaint lobby area to your room’s wallpaper, the small library salon and the breakfast tea set. Lovely details everywhere that make it an altogether great experience. Staff including the hotel‘s owner are wonderful. An authentic Bad Gastein dream come true!

      눉The cleaning lady could have done a bit better job. Only the minimum was done every day. The restaurant could use a larger wine list. The religious and treatment paraphernalia around the hotel take a bit of getting used to.

      눇The staff was what made our experience great. The atmosphere throws you back into the past. The balcony had cast iron furniture and a great view of the mountains. The bar is very enjoyable with a wide selection of drinks.

      눉There is only one big downside to staying in this hotel: one day you have to start your journey back and leave this beautiful paradise ;) , but always with the hope to ever return :) !

      눇A fanatastic stay in a very nice hotel from the end of the 19th century, very tastefully decorated in the rooms and in all corridors and the stairwell. You have a very nice view of the whole valley from your room and balcony. The owners (Johanna and Christof) are very pleasant people who are genuinely concerned in the well-being of their guests. This manifests itself in the smallest details. The varied breakfast bufffet and the four course evening meal (with choice of starter and main course) are particularly tasty and prepared by Johanna and are served by top staff in a particularly cozy dining room and by candlelight on your table. The Austrian white wine from Burgenland, Tschida, is a true discovery with all this delicious food. You will be picked up at the station and you will be transported to and from the ski slopes as you wish. This hotel that we visited three times, remains an absolute winner and is really worth a very big detour or a destination in itself !

      눇Its very authentic hotel, worth staying. Decoration, rooms for bar and leisure. Extremely nice management and staff. Their own shuttle to ski area going there in morning every 15 minutes and taking you back at daytime. Close to the walking routes in the mountain / forrest. Their own sauna and bath. For some people interior might seem old, but thats the feature of the hotel. Its very harmonious with overall experience, and music in restaurant was amazing!

      눇We liked absolutely everything - the experience was great! Small, peaceful hotel, like no other. The building is old and you should know that, but everything is tidy and in good condition. Our room was spacious and equipped with amazing view - it was almost unreal. Interior of the hotel is decorated with old furnitures and it has it's own atmosphere. The best is yet to come. The staff is absolutely most pleasant we have ever got to meet. They make you feel cosy. And then the food. Take the half board - there is not so many restaurants close by and the food is really good, it includes three courses (salad table-starter-main-dessert) and it is like gourmet level! We didn't have a single bad meal during our 8 day stay. Nice to know: Take something "bit better" clothing for the supper, it is a classical room and the waiters are dressed well. We skied every day - NOTICE: Hotel has it's own private skitaxi for transportations to the slope! It worked very well and if you want, you can use the skibus also (bus stop is quite nearby, but hotels transportation is the way to go). There is a cottage for skies and a room for your ski boots. There is also a small sauna for hotel guests, which is nice after a day in slope. The hotel is located in the walking promenade, a bit aside from the Bad Gastein centre, but there is a nice walkway to the centre, with a great view. All in all, if you are thinking is this a place for you, we can strongly recommend it, if you are looking for a atmospheric experience in Austria!

      눇all the staff were so committed and passionate to deliver excellent service. i was amazed by this. the hotel itself is like a real-time belle-epoque museum, which affects you in excellent manner.

      • • Stayed 6 nights

      눉Hard to think of anything. Perhaps, the location is the only super small drawback of the place (though the staff seem to have put serious effort to address this as well!). The view from the window is perfect, but if you need to commute to other places (and do not want to use the shuttle offered by the hotel), then there are not many other convenient options.

      눇The hotel has a nice and charming feel, as if from the old days (in a good way, if you like that sort of thing!). The staff was super-helpful and friendly ready to assist even with the smallest troubles. Definitely this is a good place to stay if you are more into cosier and smaller hotels.
