Estuvimos allí con nuestros hijos en agosto. Un apartamento muy bonito con un montón de espacio y un corredor cercano al hotel Cristallo. Se puede ir fácilmente a nadar en la piscina. La vista desde el balcón es increíble. Equipamiento del apartamento - excelente. Todo está limpio, nuevo y está muy bien mantenido. Lo único raro era que las duchas y los baños tienen sin cortinas y se encuentran en las habitaciones. Al menos los aseos aislados : - ). Olvide WiFi - estaba allí, pero la velocidad alrededor de cero. Se puede comprar comidas en el hotel, pero hay una cocina totalmente equipada, así que es una valiosa opción para cocinar en el apartamento, que es lo que hicimos nosotros. 12 minutos en coche de la ciudad, con buenas tiendas.

We had a fantastic week staying in the beautifully designed Falkensteiner Premium Apartments edel:Weiss. We stayed in the hotel in February 2017 (please see my detailed review on the hotel TripAdvisor page!) and we chose to return to Katschberg but self-cater this year so that we could have more choice over our food, and a more relaxed schedule. We definitely preferred self-catering, and the extra living space and freedom that came with apartment living, yet we were able to use the hotel facilities including the pools, spa, kids’ club, ski lessons and equipment rental. We will be returning next year! The apartments vary in size and so this review won’t apply to all apartments. We are a family of four. My husband and I shared a bedroom, and our daughters (ages 8 and 10) shared a large, comfortable sofa bed in the main living area of the apartment. There was one toilet, and an en suite bathroom which comprised of a fabulous powerful, hot shower with a large overhead shower and a handheld shower (I appreciate having both!) and a sink (but no toilet in this bathroom). The en suite had a transparent glass door. I would have loved a bath, and I wasn’t prepared to use the spa in the hotel either as you have to be naked which I don’t find very relaxing at all! There was lots of storage – shelves and wardrobes in the bedroom and also the main apartment area. Kitchen was a decent size and included an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, large fridge, small freezer (not tiny), kettle and Dolce Gusto coffee machine. No microwave or toaster, both of which we would have found useful; no washing machine. I kept burning toast in the grill, and was terrified of setting the smoke alarm off – I think the firefighters are called automatically and you have to pay them for false alarms! On that note, there is a large balcony and the fire escape is from there. There was a very nice selection of glassware, crockery and cutlery - beautiful wine and champagne glasses. Mugs would have been a nice addition – I drank my tea from a bowl, European style! A few dishwasher tablets were provided (it would be nice to provide one per day and maybe you can request more). Toilet paper can be restocked by calling Reception. Towels can be changed at a cost of 10 Euros pp (we didn’t bother). There is nice handwash and shower gel/shampoo provided – large bottles, more than enough for a family for a week. Our daughters were signed up for group lessons but did not enjoy their first half day lesson with a grumpy instructor. The hotel was very relaxed about us withdrawing from the lessons and booking a couple of 1h private lessons instead, with a fun instructor (Nico) who they much preferred. Other than that we skied as a family. We had amazing weather (again) – bright sunshine and blue sky almost every day, and excellent snow coverage. The slopes never feel too busy, and it’s easy to find some really quiet slopes – nothing like my memories of skiing in the popular regions of France during peak season. One day we will probably want to ski a larger area, or new pistes, but for now this region is perfect for us. Having read about the better location of the larger tower I asked if we could have an apartment in there, but we were limited to the smaller tower with our chosen apartment size. It would have been slightly closer to the hotel but immaterial really. Children needed to be accompanied as they would have got lost I expect. We stored our skis in our lockable parking ‘cage’ which was easier than the boot room (which my husband checked out but I never saw!) Bar prices in hotel very reasonable. We ate at the Stamperl Brewery restaurant opposite the hotel on several occasions. Hofer supermarket (ALDI) is in the town below Katschberg (a quick drive) – not as good as Aldi in UK though. A better supermarket is next door to it. Parking is underneath the apartments, easily accessible and each car is in an individual ‘cage’ with garage door so you can store skis etc in there securely. High end furniture, fixtures and fittings and appliances (eg Miele). Amazing view. Warm and quiet except when windy. Good WiFi. Attended games night in the hotel bar. Disappointingly no bingo this year, but the kids’ club staff taught us to play Rummikub which was a bonus. We can't wait to return and have booked our flights already! Please give me a helpful vote for this review!

Elegimos el apartamento para 8 personas, aunque sólo estuvimos 5. Pero queríamos tener comodidad. La ubicación es perfecta para la práctica de esquí de descenso, justo al lado de las pistas. Si no son de esquí no hay nada mucho que hacer. Los apartamentos están conectados por un túnel hasta el hotel climatizado. Todas las instalaciones del hotel están en su disposición. Este verdadero hotel familiar con un montón de actividades y reproductores para los niños. El personal es maravilloso. Nos imprescindible reservar pensión completa. Para ser sinceros, nos sentimos decepcionados con la comida. La elección era muy limitado y no muy sabroso. El apartamento en el que nos alojamos era agradable pero muy extraño. Había dos dormitorios que tenía el cuarto de baño (ducha/bañera) en un mismo espacio sin privacidad. Una composición muy extraño. Si quieres privacidad sol tienes que enviar a tu compañero. El tercer dormitorio tiene literas que utilizamos para un niño. Esta habitación no tiene ventilación o ventanas y está separado por una puerta corredera. Uf lo cierra el niño no puedo respirar. Era más como un armario con la cama. Usted debe ser consciente de este diseño antes de hacer la reserva. En retrospectiva, debería haber reservado el hotel en vez de apartamento.
