We've just spent a week at the Hotel Alte Post in Ellmau, Austria. It is a lovely hotel, clean, excellent food, helpful staff, but oh the room and dining room were freezing. There was an open fire in the lounge downstairs, but we could not sit in there because smoking was allowed in there. The weather turned a bit colder,... More

This hotel may have had four stars 20 years ago - a typical case of having made too much money too easily. Breakfast is average with buns so dry that you'd rather give them to the birds. Stay miles away from the fish. The only reasonable meal was the pork. The personell is unfriendly, especially at the reception where the... More

We had a shortski in januari 2013 with Sunweb. The food is really budget without extras but tasty. The offered services are standard, but what bothered us was a extra charges of 12 euro's if we wanted to use the shower in the hotel on the day of departure after skiing.

We didn't have particularly high expectations for this late booking ski trip over New Year's Eve , but we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is quite small yet with a full range of facilities. The service from the owners was excellent and left a lasting impression. I can see us returning ! As for the resort, I felt that... More

We have been visiting Ellmau for many years and really love the village as a ski destination. Before we went skiing with our daughter, we stayed at the Alte Post. Four years ago we changed to the Hochfilzer hotel because they have a swimming pool and seemed a little bit more geared towards families. (see previous reviews) This year we... More

First of all, the photo at the top of this page is misleading as it's not the Alte Post in Ellmau - it's the Alte Post in Grossarl. We had a lovely week at this hotel from September 1st - 8th travelling with Inghams. Before we booked this holiday we made a short list of what we were looking for.... More

We returned this year to some poor food. We started with spagetti & a pork chop. Most of the main courses were two items with lots of pasta & the rare appearance of a vegetable . They seemed unable to do a sauce of any kind which was essential with all the pork we got. The fried breakfast disappeared when... More

Very warm welcome from this family run hotel. Good food in the form of a buffet breakfast in the morning including warm scrambled eggs and bacon and a five course evening meal. I thought the rooms were superb, very spacious and were kept immaculately clean. Good ski locker/boot room accessible from both inside and outside hotel. My only criticism would... More

My woman and I were at Alte Post in Ellmau for 4 days in January and we had a very good time there. The food at the Alte Post was the best in the village, we had bad experiences in the places local people did recommend. The sauna is very appreciated at the end of a long day skiing. I... More

This is very good value for money . The atmosphere is friendly and the bar area is a good place to enjoy a drink in nice company with a variety of characters.The food is plentiful and varies from good to excellent. You can order a fried breakfast at no extra cost but the buffet has everything else .The rooms are... More
