We have just returned from Austria and while I am writing fresh impressions )))))))))))))), maybe I will help someone with the right choice.
In general, we had quite pleasant impressions.
Hotel PAWLIK is located on the outskirts of Bad Gastein. It is very quiet around, not far from the promenade where you can feed the squirrels. There are many empty new chalets, but in the evening the windows in them are highlighted in different colors.
The hotel is 5-storey, the lower floor is a service room - a ski storage room, a sauna, a bar, a laundry, etc. The building is almost new, not "shabby")))), quite modern equipment in the bathrooms. The hotel is panoramic, so you can enjoy the mountain scenery and meet the sunrise.
The room was small but cozy, which was nice - it was room 102, its uniqueness is that there was Wi-Fi (because the room is located directly above the reception), and Wi-Fi only works in the lobby and restaurant.
I was pleased that in the morning and in the evening there is a shuttle to the Stubnerkogel ski lift (every 15 minutes, you need to sign up for the morning). There are 4 bus stops to the center (the bus runs once an hour and only from 9 am to 6 pm) or 25 minutes at a leisurely pace through the mountains - along the promenade.
The staff is friendly, the manager and waitresses are from Latvia, so everyone speaks Russian. The hotel was inhabited by Russians, Latvians and Germans. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed, the parking lot was cleared of snow.
Traditional European breakfasts, muesli, yogurt, cuts (sausage, cheese), boiled eggs - there were no changes in 7 days, lunch started at 15-30 - but it’s more like a snack before dinner (one dish (that’s soup, pilaf, sausages or pasta navy + tea, coffee), from 17-00 - Austrian - beer and wine - everything is very tasty, hearty dinners - Soup, the second - one main course (meat, poultry, fish) plus a side dish and a vegetarian dish and a few salads. Dinner and lunch were never repeated in a week. I liked the quality of the products. In the evening, dessert is always very tasty.
There are very few shops in the town - one Spar and only 2 souvenir shops. The nearest cafe is 300-400 meters away - it works from 12 to 19. And so everything is in the center.
The hotel has a small sauna with a shower (dacha option) daily from 16 to 20, so after skiing you can warm up your exhausted body well. You can warm up better in the terms, which are located right at the station and the ski lift.
Information for skiers and snowboarders: the nearest ski areas are Graukogel, Angertal, Sportgastein. The first is located next to the hotel, but it is in little demand, although it is not bad there, quiet and calm. Sportgastein is good in sunny, calm weather. On such days, you can’t get into the ski bus, many people go there. Although, in my opinion, there is nothing extraordinary there, only the height is a little higher - 2650 m. I personally liked the Angertal zone. The mountains are not high - 2250 m, 2050 m, but there are many slopes, lifts, cafes of different complexity and length. During the day, you can easily ride until you lose your pulse.

We rested with a large group of 12 people. From the end of January to the beginning of February. From the airport to Bad Gastein about 90 km, on the way, representatives of the Tez tour met the possibilities of the region, offered excursions and we filled out a form in which we indicated how many days we needed a ski pass, and in the evening we were brought to the hotel ready-made cards , we paid for them, and also paid for the skis, which we only had to pick up the next morning (the girls from the Tez tour were already waiting at the rental office and helped everyone find the right equipment).

All this saved us a lot of time, because. We stopped by at the weekend and the influx of riders was great. Tez tour big respect)))
At the hotel we were met by a German manager, the rest of the staff speaks Russian. The rooms were not yet ready, we took our swimsuits, left our suitcases in the hotel lobby and went to the thermal baths. You can walk to the term on foot, but because. the whole city is in a mountainous area, it’s hard on foot, and by taxi from 10 to 20 euros (depending on the number of passengers). I really liked the thermal baths - several pools, various hydromassage effects, a slide for children, and a pool on the street is generally a miracle - you lie in warm water and contemplate the skiers))) We also went to saunas, the entrance is strictly without swimwear, but we went in towels and no one kicked out))) Thermae can be taken for 3 hours or for the whole day, for an adult it costs 3 hours 20 euros, per child -12. Towel rental 3 euros. There is also a large SPAR supermarket near the term.
Now about the hotel itself - we liked it very much, the hotel is not new, but very cozy, from all the windows there is a view of the mountains, the restaurant has panoramic windows and also offers a gorgeous view, so the hotel lives up to its name. Cleaning in the rooms is normal, not all rooms had a hair dryer, I asked at the reception, they gave me, but they said that the last one. The rooms are very warm, we even had to screw on the batteries, there is no safe in the hotel, they say that there were no cases of theft, but we carried documents and money with us. The food is normal: in the morning breakfast is a buffet (always the same, but everything is delicious), at 16-00 an afternoon snack begins in a cafe (soup, pizza or sausages), and dinner starts at 19-00. Dinner consists of soup and salads (the same for everyone), but the main course must be ordered (a menu for the week is issued upon arrival, where you mark what you will eat every day), then another dessert. White/red wine and beer included. I also wanted to say that there are standard 2-bed rooms, and there are reduced ones (grand lit is called), so the reduced one cost me 300 euros cheaper than the standard one, but there is enough space for 2 people, the room is wonderful, and t . to. he is the first from the stairs, I also caught the Internet in the room (number 102). In the evening, at the reception, you need to note the room number and the time at which you are going to go to the mountains in a special sheet, at this time the bus picks you up from the hotel and takes you to the ski lift for free, in the evening in the same way back.
In the middle of the week we took a break from skiing - we went to Munich for an excursion to the BMW Museum (75 euros / person). I enjoyed the tour very much - highly recommended!
In general, the hotel and the rest were satisfied!
