I had a great stay at Hotel Kossler during the May holidays! Perfect location – quiet, beautiful, and close to Hintertux Glacier, where I enjoyed amazing snowboarding. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was tasty and varied, and the staff were super friendly. Special thanks and warm greetings to Ms. Karina – you made the stay even better! Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be back!

Very helpful staff members. I was using only sauna and it’s unusual because in most of hotels you can’t use sauna if you’re not guest. Here cost is 5€ and sauna is open till 8:00 PM from 11:00 if I remember. Can’t say anything about rooms cause as I said I wasn’t a guest but it’s very nice bar with descent restaurant. If you don’t have a towels they will help you. There is small disadvantage like there is no hot water in this area where you’re cooling you body down. But it’s outside balcony for cooling your system inside.

Super nice hotel. Perfect location (skibus directly in front of hotel), very good food, good beds and nice room. But most of all: very friendly and attentive staff! Loved it. We were so happy, that we immediately booked again for next year.

Wir waren das dritte Mal da, allerdings nur im Restaurant, welches wir uneingeschränkt empfehlen können. Das Essen ist sehr gut und auch für die Region preislich gut.
