Alpenrose Au: Austria's BEST Hotel Apartments? (You'll Be SHOCKED!) – My Messy, Honest Review

Okay, so I booked myself a stay at the Alpenrose Au, those "BEST Hotel Apartments?" in Austria. And let me tell you, I went in with some expectations. I'd seen the photos. Crisp mountain air, cozy fireplaces, the whole shebang. Did it live up to the hype? Well, buckle up, because my experience was… complex.

First off, the location. Accessibility: This is a major plus. While I didn't need wheelchair access myself, I noticed they've clearly thought about it. They've got Facilities for disabled guests, and I saw Elevator. Considering how many hotels just chuck the whole thing, this is genuinely great. And the Car park [free of charge] situation? Pure bliss. Parking in Austria can be a nightmare, so this was a huge win from the get-go. They even have Car power charging station which is awesome.

Getting Around: They offer Airport transfer and Taxi service, but honestly, the charm of this place involves exploring on your own terms. I'm a bit of a walker, so I spent a lot of time just wandering.

Rooms That Make You Go "Woah!" (And Sometimes, "Huh?")

Let's dive into the actual rooms, shall we? I booked one of their apartments. Available in all rooms: They are packed with stuff. Look, I didn't try every single item, but the essentials are there. Air conditioning (a lifesaver in the Austrian summer!), the Mini bar, a Refrigerator (essential for my late-night cheese cravings), and a Coffee/tea maker. There's even Complimentary tea. Fancy!

Internet is Everywhere! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas – everywhere! Seriously, you're never going to be out of touch. And thank god for the Laptop workspace because I needed to sneak a few emails in.

Okay, confession time: I had a bit of a "Goldilocks and the Bear" moment with the bed. The Extra long bed was initially amazing, I was over the moon but after a few hours, it was just…. there. So, I changed up my sleeping position. It was just a tiny detail but one you can miss. The Soundproof rooms are legit though. I slept like a log, despite my ramblings the night before.

Cleanliness and Safety - The Sanitized Wonderland (Mostly)

Alright, the pandemic has changed everything, right? And the Alpenrose Au clearly takes this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays. They even have Professional-grade sanitizing services. They give you the option of Room sanitization opt-out available. They made me feel safe.

They even had Hand sanitizer everywhere, and that Staff trained in safety protocol thing? You could tell. Everyone was masked, respectful, the whole deal. I saw Hot water linen and laundry washing, Individually-wrapped food options and Safe dining setup.

I did a little eye roll at the Shared stationery removed, but hey, better safe than sorry!

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with a few bumps in the road)

Okay, food. This is where things get really interesting.

Breakfast: I’m very much a breakfast girl. They offer a Breakfast [buffet]. What did I do? I overate. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast – they cover it all. It was a bit of a free-for-all, and honestly, I loved it despite the slight chaos involved. I did see Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service, which is smart.

Restaurants: There were Restaurants and Coffee shop. The A la carte in restaurant menu? Solid. But… the Happy hour was a mixed bag.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day! (And the Occasional Hike)

Okay, this is where the Alpenrose truly shines. Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and a Pool with view are all there. You can get a Body scrub, Body wrap, or just a plain old Massage.

I was utterly and completely obsessed with the pool with the view. Honestly, I could have stayed there all day, staring at the mountains. It was truly breathtaking, and worth every penny.

They have a Fitness center and Gym/fitness. I'm more of a "relaxing-near-a-pool" type, but the options are there!

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter

The Concierge was super helpful with suggestions. Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Dry cleaning = amazing. They even have Luggage storage. I appreciated the Invoice provided when I was doing the expense reports. Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, and Air conditioning in public area were also helpful.

For the Kids:

They are Family/child friendly. Babysitting service and Kids meal options are listed. I didn't bring any kids with me, but It seemed like they had thought deeply about the needs of children.

The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Verdict

Look, no place is perfect. The front desk was a little confusing to find sometimes, and the bar service was occasionally slow. But honestly? These were minor blips.

My Verdict: Alpenrose Au is definitely worth a visit. The combination of stunning location, comfortable apartments, top-notch spa facilities, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere makes it a winner. It’s not just a "hotel apartment"; it’s an experience.

But will YOU be shocked? Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on what you're looking for. If you want a truly relaxing escape, with easy accessibility, amazing views, and a little dose of Austrian charm? Then YES! Alpenrose Au will SHOCK you with how good it is.

Hotel Apartments Alpenrose Au Austria

Alright, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your perfectly curated Instagram feed of a trip. This is the REAL DEAL. The Hotel Apartments Alpenrose in Au, Austria? Consider it our jumping-off point for a week of glorious, glorious chaos. Here’s the (mostly broken) plan, peppered with enough existential dread and questionable decision-making to make you feel like you're actually there.

Hotel Apartments Alpenrose - Au, Austria: A Week of Questionable Choices and Mountain Mayhem

(Let's be honest, "organized" is a strong word for what I'm about to describe.)

Day 1: Arrival and Almost Instant Regret - (Also, Hello Austria!)

• Morning: UGH, the flight. Seriously, airplanes are glorified metal tubes filled with recycled air and the constant fear your neighbor will be the world's loudest snorer. Land in Zurich. The airport is clean, efficient… and makes me feel desperately inadequate. I stumble out, feeling like a startled badger. Find the train to Bregenz - the first hurdle. Slight panic attack trying to navigate the ticket machines (they judge, I swear they judge).
• Afternoon: Train ride! Mountains in the distance. Gorgeous, undeniably. Feel a flicker of excitement… immediately replaced by a low-grade anxiety about whether I packed enough socks. Arrive in Bregenz, then the BUS… finally, Au! The Alpenrose apartments… They're cute. Like, really cute. Think: cozy wooden balconies, flower boxes bursting with life, the kind of place you see in a postcard… and immediately feel like you're not cool enough to inhabit.
• Evening: Unpack (ish). The kitchen is… well, it’s got a microwave, so that’s a win. Attempt a "simple" pasta dish. It explodes. Literally. The sauce splatters EVERYTHING. Curse my cooking skills (which are tragically absent). Resort to a supermarket run. The local SPAR is a wonderland of obscure cheeses and sausages. Buy all of them. Eat them all. Feel a pang of guilt about the impending food coma. Wander around the village, feeling like a confused extra in a Heidi movie. Conclude: Austria is REALLY pretty.

Day 2: Hiking (and the existential crisis it triggers)

• Morning: WAKE UP. The sun is streaming in, the mountains call. Attempt a hike. Pick a trail that’s supposedly "easy". (Lies. All lies.) The route climbs. And climbs. And climbs. My lungs are screaming. My legs are begging for mercy. The views, when I finally reach the top, are breathtaking. Literally, breathtaking in a "I can't breathe because the air is so thin" kind of way.
• Afternoon: Descend, legs trembling. Discover… a gasthaus (inn) at the bottom of the trail. This is it. This is what I came for. Order a massive plate of Käsespätzle (cheese noodles). Eat until I can’t move. Seriously, this is heaven. Consider moving to Austria solely for the cheesy noodles. Start to contemplate life choices. Are we all just climbing mountains, both literally and metaphorically? Is the meaning of life hidden in a bowl of cheese noodles? I NEED ANSWERS.
• Evening: Back at the apartment, sprawl on the sofa, contemplating life, the universe, and the profoundness of cheese. Watch a terrible German TV show (subtitles are a blessing and a curse). Whisper to myself that tomorrow, I WILL hit the sauna. (Spoiler: I probably won't.)

Day 3: Sauna, or The Day My Body Melted (Almost)

• Morning: Good intentions, right? I am going to conquer the sauna! Find the Alpenrose's sauna. It's small, dark, and smells faintly of pine. Enter. It’s hot. Like, really hot. Minutes pass. I sweat. I panic. Is this normal? Am I going to spontaneously combust?
• Afternoon: Escape the sauna, feeling a little like a cooked lobster. Vow never to go back. Spend the afternoon wandering aimlessly through the village. Visit a small museum dedicated to local craftsmanship (which I’m not entirely sure I understood, but it smelled lovely).
• Evening: Restaurant night! Find a traditional Austrian restaurant. The food is hearty, heavy, and delicious. Order schnitzel. It’s the size of my head. Attempt to eat it all. Fail gloriously. Conclude: Austrian portions are a personal affront to my digestive system. Waddle back to the apartment, feeling like a stuffed sausage. The next few days will be full of regret.

Day 4: The Bregenzerwald Cable Car, and Altitude, and Regret (But Also, Views!)

• Morning: Decision time. We go to the Bregenzerwald Cable Car? It's time. That's it. So we go.
• Afternoon: The cable car goes up. The views? Mind-blowingly gorgeous. Mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. The air is crisp. I feel… small. In a good way. Hike a bit at the top (the "easy" trail, yeah, it's a lie. Again). Feel the effects of thin air. Feel that low-grade fear of heights bubble in my stomach. It passes. The views are worth it.
• Evening: Back at the apartment. Consider going out. Then the thought of putting on real clothes feels like too much effort. Order another massive bowl of cheese noodles, if possible, and attempt to watch a film, only to fall asleep after the previews.

Day 5: Day Trip to (Insert Nearby Town, Probably Lindau) and Mild Panic.

• Morning: Decide to take a day trip. Somewhere. Lindau? Sure. Or maybe, somewhere else. The options seem endless, and the decision paralyzes me. Panic sets in. Spend an hour researching train schedules. Get overwhelmed and stare blankly at the wall.
• Afternoon: Eventually, I manage to leave. Find a train. Get to Lindau. Wander aimlessly around the harbor, surrounded by swans and perfectly picturesque boats, which makes me feel even less picturesque. Buy a gelato. Drop the gelato. Cry a little.
• Evening: Try to shake off the day's failures. Go back to the apartment and eat an unholy combination of cheese, sausage, and whatever else is left in the fridge. Vow to be better tomorrow.

Day 6: A Day to Celebrate That I Survived So Far

• Morning: Sleep in late! Wake up with a sense of accomplishment: I survived the week. Enjoy the sunshine.
• Afternoon: Decide to be spontaneous. Go for a bike ride! I'm probably going to fall, but it's all part of the experience.
• Evening: Eat out at an amazing restaurant. Enjoy the local culture. Feel at peace!

Day 7: Departure

• Morning: Slowly pack up. (Why is packing always such a logistical nightmare?) Feel a pang of sadness that it's all over. Also, relief that I don’t have to cook anymore.
• Afternoon: Train ride to Zurich. Airport chaos. Try not to cry as I go through security.

The end? NOPE. The journey is never over. Until next time, Alpenrose. Austria. And cheese noodles, I'll be seeing you in my dreams.

Alpenrose Au: Austria's BEST Hotel Apartments? (You'll Be SHOCKED!) – Let's Dive In, Shall We?!

Okay, Spill the Beans! What's the Big Deal About Alpenrose Au? Is it *REALLY* that good? (Please, reassure me!)

Alright, alright, settle down, you anxious traveler! Look, I'm not one for hyperbole, but... yes. Alpenrose Au? It's... a *vibe*. It's the kind of place that worms its way into your soul, you know? It's not just the perfect location – smack-dab in the middle of the Arlberg, the kind of place where the air smells like pine needles and fresh powder – it’s the *feeling*. It’s the cozy, the authentic, the "I'm-home-in-the-mountains-and-I-never-want-to-leave" feeling. Honestly, I've been to my fair share of hotels, you know? From miserable airport stays to soul-crushing corporate behemoths. But Alpenrose… different beast entirely. My wife, bless her, she’s *picky*. Like, “hotel towels must be Egyptian cotton, or *else*” picky. And she LOVED it! That tells you everything.

Sounds idyllic… But seriously, are the apartments actually *nice*? (I'm used to, shall we say, "less-than-stellar" accommodations.)

Listen, let me paint you a picture that *isn't* the usual hotel brochure gloss: These aren’t sterile, minimalist boxes, okay? They’re warm. They're wooden. Think genuine Alpine charm, the kind that makes you want to curl up with a book and a glass of schnapps (which, by the way, you *should* do). They’re spacious - seriously, you could do cartwheels (if you're into that sort of thing, which I am decisively *not*). And the kitchens? Fully equipped, so you can actually *cook* a decent meal. (Though, let's be honest, part of me always wants to eat nothing but Kaiserschmarrn when I'm in Austria.) I once stayed in a *tiny* apartment so cramped that you had to navigate sideways to get to the bathroom. Alpenrose Au? The opposite. You can spread out! And that, my friend, is a luxury.

What about the location? Is it actually ski-in/ski-out, or is that just marketing fluff? (I'm a bit cynical, you see...)

Okay, touché. I get it. Marketing is a *lie* machine sometimes. But here? The ski-in/ski-out is *real*, people! Literally, you walk out the door and you're practically on the slopes. Okay, well, *maybe* not *literally*, but you’re close enough that it feels like it. Let's be honest... imagine this: you wake up, brew a coffee in your lovely kitchen, and BAM! The fresh, crisp mountain air is calling your name. No long bus rides, no trudging through snow-covered parking lots. Pure, unadulterated skiing bliss (or snowboarding, if you're so inclined). I once saw a lady in her slippers and a fluffy dressing gown casually stroll out to the slopes. Incredible. (Side note: her slippers were *very* stylish.)

Let's talk about the finer details: Amenities? Extras? Do they have a good spa? (Gimme the gossip!)

Okay, here's the deal. The spa? Phenomenal. Seriously. It’s not just one of those token attempts. It's a proper, authentic Austrian spa experience. Saunas, steam rooms, a pool… the works. I, personally, am a sauna *fiend*. So, for me, it was pure heaven. The smell of the wood, the intense heat... pure relaxation. My wife practically *lived* in the spa. (I had to drag her out for dinner, which, by the way, is another thing: the restaurant at Alpenrose... *chef's kiss*.) They also have things like ski storage, which is a godsend – no more lugging your gear up and down stairs! Parking is easy, too. And the staff? Honestly, just lovely. Warm, friendly, genuinely helpful. They didn't even *judge* me when I asked for directions to the nearest Apfelstrudel *every single day*.

Anything *negative* to say? Because, let's face it, perfection doesn't exist… (Tell me the truth!)

Alright, alright, you want the dirt? Fine. Here’s the (very mild) truth: The Wi-Fi could be a *little* spotty sometimes. Not enough to ruin your trip, but don’t expect to stream HD movies without a hitch. Also, the walk to the village center is *downhill*, which is lovely. The walk *back* up? Let's just say, after a hefty meal and a few beers, it's a character-building exercise. But honestly? Those are minor quibbles. I’m really struggling here to come up with something truly bad. The only thing that truly, truly got me down was having to *leave*.

Tell me about the food! I’m a foodie, and this is *critical*. Are they serving up some Schnitzel-factory slop?

Listen, you gourmet glutton! No, they are not serving up some Schnitzel-factory slop. (Thank goodness!) The restaurant at Alpenrose Au is seriously good. *Really* good. And it's not just the food; it's the atmosphere. Cozy, inviting, with the aroma of deliciousness wafting from the kitchen. They use fresh, local ingredients, and the presentation? *Chef's kiss* again. They have a chef who clearly understands the art of the Kaiserschmarrn. That, my friend, is a true test of a restaurant. When I'm there I go straight to the Kaiserschmarrn. The richness, the sweetness, the perfectly caramelized bits… I'm drooling just thinking about it. I once had a full-blown argument with my wife in the middle of the restaurant about who gets the last bite. (I won. I'm not proud, but I’m a Schnitzel lover, not a hater.)

Okay, enough with the broad questions. Give me a *specific* example. Your best memory? Your worst? Don't hold back!

Alright, here's a specific one. My absolute *best* memory? It was snowing. Heavily. The kind of snow that blankets everything in utter silence. I was in the bar after a long day of skiing, nursing a hot chocolate (with a generous shot of something that warmed the soul - I can't quite remember what), and it was just... perfect. The fire crackled. The conversation flowed easily. I was chatting with a couple from London, sharing travel stories, and the whole place felt incredibly convivial and cozy. It was an intimate moment, a perfect winter evening. Pure, unadulterated joy. I almost didn't want to leave. The worst? Hmm… this is a tough one because, honestly, even the minor thingsWallet Friendly Stay
