Iglu Ski Expert Review
If you are a keen skier or snowboarder the location of Hotel Strass is perfect. You are right in the middle of town and next to the main Penken gondola giving you the best access to the slopes and the best access to the bars, restaurants and shops in Mayrhofen – what else do you need? As well as all the resort’s amenities on the doorstep, the hotel has everything you need for a fantastic week. There are multiple lounge areas, a large in-house spa area with a pool, gym and sauna, 2 restaurants, 4 bars and a nightclub underneath the hotel. The hotel is very grand and furnished beautifully. The spa area is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen! The rooms are well sized and everything is kept in tip-top condition. The games area has a few squash courts, pool table, table tennis, and is a haven for kids. The hotel is large and spread out across multiple buildings so your room may not be in the main building with all the communal spaces but it will be quieter. It is without doubt the best located hotel in Mayrhofen and was my favourite of all the hotels.Sport & Spa Hotel Strass
