Hotel Gisela

The hotel was comfortable and well maintained and was part of the same group as the Saltzberger Hotel which it was linked to at the basement level. This was part of a Swedish group which owned several hotels and the popular Silver Bullet apres ski bar. The breakfast was good in a typical Austrian buffet style with hot and cold options. I ate my dinners in the Saltzberger where the rest of my group were staying which were excellent but not cheap (40 euros a night). The Saltzberger also had live music each night - more easy listening than rock/drum machine type. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English The location of the hotel was on the side of a hill so even though it is near the lifts be prepared for an uphill walk to get to them. There is boot and ski storage at the lift station. (2,5 euros each per night) Tip: I kept my boots in the Saltzberger boot room which was better than the Gisela and can be accessed by taking the basement passage and catching the Saltzberger lift to the 7th floor where there boot room and entrance is. I don't know if this is allowed but no-one stopped me. The hotel is located next to the Silver Bullet Bar so unless you are a late night carouser ask for a room on the other side of the hotel Parking is tricky at the hotel as you will be parked outside further down the hill and the car park area is not huge. I was lucky and got a space so did not move it during my stay.

Car parking was poor be prepared to carry your luggage uphill. Bit noisy at night as was facing the Silver Bullet bar. Had to keep window shut
