The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast that is included with the room rate was far better than we had anticipated! Everything was fresh, very tasty and more than we could eat. There was a variety of fresh breads, fruits, jams, assortment cheeses and meats; and they even offer additional hot items if you want any. We also had two very good dinners at the restaurant, which is very popular so make a reservation and eat outside by the water.

We knew when we booked that there was no air conditioning in the hotel but we thought that there would be a fan to help circulate the air. There is a window and when we opened it at night, the room was comfortable. During the day it was very warm even with the window opened so it was not comfortable to stay in the room during the day and up to later in the evening.

The hotel is small with only a few rooms but with a thriving restaurant. It is situated at the side of the Traun at the opposite end of the Halstattersee to Halstatt which is one of the most visited towns locally. We had a bus stop right outside and it was very easy to get to Halstatt or any of the local towns using the local service. The restaurant provides a wide variety of extremely good quality Austrian food and appears to be a popular place for locals to eat. The staff are very approachable and helpful. The hotel rooms are rustic in style but fully modernised. The modernisation has been completed very thoughtfully and in keeping with the 450 year old history of the building. I was extemely pleased with the accommodations and the location which also provides a private balcony for the rooms and a green space with easy access to the lake.

It was extremely hot when we visited. Unfortunately there is no air conditioning though the windows can be opened and due to the location it can cool down quite quickly. Having a free standing fan would’ve been a bonus.

Located in a quieter neighborhood, it was a lovely place to spend a couple of nights. The room is beautiful with carved wood furnishings and stone floors. They decorated the room for us, the shower was exceptional, the toilet was in a separate room from the shower which is a bonus. The place itself was clean and the view of the river was beautiful. The restaurant was really good! the breakfast was very filling and they made eggs upon request for you. One thing to watch for is that there no reception, so you have to say when you arrive and stick to that time.

The room was warm and there was no fan to cool it.

This was a really beautiful and cosy hotel. I was a solo traveller here and I felt very well looked after by the owners and staff. My room was beautiful, with a view of the river and mountains. There was even a view of a waterfall from the shower! There's a very nice place for swimming just a few minutes walk away from the hotel and it's about 7 minutes walk to the train station, which is well connected to towns and cities in the region. Breakfast at the hotel was very good, with very generous portions. And I would recommend eating at the restaurant, which had a really nice atmosphere and fantastic traditional dishes.

The rooms are decorated in a very unusual and clever way, playing on the culture of wood from the region. The choice of high quality materials makes the place totally silent (when windows are closed) and you can just enjoy the view on the Traun river and the lake. Having dinner outside was quite a treat. Make sure you stay for lunch or dinner: the award given by Gault&Millau is perfectly deserved, this is the best place to eat in the region. Make sure also to book in advance, the place is famous in the region.

Despite the vicinity of the lake, there is no equipment (such as a pier or a sunbathing place) to enjoy a dip in the lake. Breakfast is served at 8 am, which was fine for us but may be late for others.

The place is beautiful and convenient. It is accessable with public transport (bus stops in front of the guesthouse). Also, convenient to visit Hallstatt (5 min by bus). The restaurant has a great chef and food was delicious 😋. I enjoyed my breakfast with a beautiful view of Alpes. The room was a fairytale looking, spacious with a comfort beyond imagination. The view from my room was breathtaking. Also, would like to thank hosts for such an amazing hospoitaltiy. It was amazing to stay there!

This guesthouse is really special. The rooms are very imaginatively decorated and the whole place was refurbished beautifully in 2017. Bathroom was excellent, bed and the room were both huge and cosy.Luisa was so friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast was great, a good selection of meats, cheeses, breads and sweet items, plus eggs cooked to order. The guest house is a short walk from Steeg-Gosau train station and is well placed for a visit to Hallstatt. Bonus: the lovely resident black Labradors :)

Nothing. This is one of the best places I have stayed in many years of travel.

Very cozy rustic cabin close to the water. The history “screams” at you from every corner. All the staff are very polite, friendly and caring - highlighting the fact that its a family business. You really feel like at home. However, theres one thing that deserves an individual praise on its own - the kitchen. The menu is amazing. Every dish we tried for lunch and for dinner not only looked great but tasted great as well. Simply awesome. Hats off to the chef for the presentation and the taste. These kind of dishes one would expect in a high end restaurant in Vienna for example. For us best food we ever had in Austria by far.

The weather, but unfortunately we cannot influence that (yet). :)

The family Grampelhuber were wonderful hosts. Mom, Dad, two sons, two daughter (in law), and two grandchildren, along with a fine and attentive staff. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was outstanding. Music filled the house. We will long look on our Austrian visit to Bad Goisern and Steegwirt fondly.

A nightlight for middle-of-the-night bathroom visits would be appreciated.

Our stay at Steegwirt exceeded our expectations. Everything was simple great, starting by how we were greeted by one of the owners, and ending with the fascinating view from the window of our room. A river is running at the foot of the hotel and right after it is a mountain with a waterfall🗻 what a view to wake up to! The food is also delicious with a number of Austrian dishes made from local ingredients, and the breakfast is one of the best we've ever had during traveling. There is pretty much everything you need in the room, and the staff will give you anything you lack. The rooms are clean and designed in a traditional Austrian style with a modern twist. Thank you Steegwirt team for an amazing Christmas stay! We hope to come again one day!
