Reviews for Schloss Fuschl
A unique lakeside historic property.
We selected Schloss Fuschl after reading an article in the Wall Street Journal. It was our last stay on a 2-week vacation visiting several great European Spa resorts. Apparently other American travelers read the same article. We trained to Salzburg from Bressanone/Brixen, Italy andtook a taxi from Salzburg HBF to the hotel. It was quite a ride and a little over 60 Euros. The Schloss is on a beautiful property situated on the south end of the lake. It is an historic castle, reinvented as a five-star hotel with multiple modern additions that blend nicely to make an elegant property. The reception area is gorgeous and the staff professional and impressive. Our room was exceptional with a partial view of the lake. It was not large but was well-appointed and meticulously maintained. Housekeeping is professional and the facilities are spotless. We found every aspect of service to be exceptional. One of us (wife) decided to hike the trail along the lake and ultimately completed the entire 6-mile circuit. The other (Me) decided to wait at the lakeside bar and restaurant. A great place for a book and an Aperol Spritz. Again, a relaxing and inviting respite. Great, unobtrusive service. A brief swim in the lake was cold and refreshing and is recommended. There are several dining options and we enjoyed an evening on the outdoor veranda and an evening inside in the main dining room. Again, service was exceptional. There appeared to be a bar behind every door. There are lots of areas for quiet conversation. We did not try the fish house on the lakefront a short walk away. That will be on the list for the next visit. We will say that we encountered more small western family groups than we expected at this property.

A beautiful location but our suite stank of sewage for days
We booked a suite with a ‘lakeside view’, but it was in the basement and ‘side’ really does mean a glimpse of the side of the lake, not of the immense lake itself. On arrival I paid the several thousands I had chosen to spend for our four nights there. Suite 102 - avoid it !!! Near the underground swimming pool which ememates a chemical smell and next to the spa in corridor with trolleys of dirty bedclothes parked outside the room - disgusting… Not a great start, but staying in a Rosewood in a suite all recently renovated encouraged me when I was booking. The staff of the hotel are universally lovely, willing, smart and polite. But the hotel has been built in a way that isn’t universally successful. They said all the suites are on the lower floor. The reception area smells of sewage and after breakfast on our first morning of four nights, I realised our suite stank of sewage. I mentioned it and the staff just nodded, said sorry and that maintenance would look at it. Second day, the same. Why should we have the sewage of dozens of other occupants polluting our room ? Is that healthy let alone pleasant or luxurious ? Third night it was really bad so forget the air conditioning, we slept with all windows open. ‘It is really cold’ said my husband at 3am - ‘no it isn’t’ - well of course it was cold on a mountainside but what else could we do ? Fourth day I really complained strongly and politely but there was no manager around to talk to. I spoke calmly to a nice young receptionist about it being disgusting, that she had to work in a space with the same problem, but we had to sleep in it and that any normal hotel would have a manager come to talk to me, people to clean the room vigorously, pot pourri in the room and an effort made. That night a bottle of cheap wine and a heap of cheese and meat was there after dinner. Not really what one wants after dinner - how about a scented candle or let’s be mature, an apology, some explanantion, attention, expression of contrition from the manager ? At checking out the next day, no note from the manager and nothing since. It was disgusting. The hotel should be ashamed and if the manager writes some appeasing note here about how much concern they feel, that will be utter nonsense and too late. Other guests had similar problems there. The manager did nothing to either fix the technical issues, to hide the smells or be polite to the clients in person. Simple answer, dont trust this arrogant management, and expect that your room might stink like a sewer. The manager didnt build the building, but they didn’t manage us guests. Shame on you for the revoluting treatment of guests. When something goes wrong , firstly apologise and secondly correct it. We were there for a wedding of two friends so we didn’t want to make a fuss.

Perfect Lake Adventure & Romantic Getaway
I visited with my sister in the summer and really enjoyed swimming in the crystal clear warm lake, the indoor & outdoor pool connected to the spa facing the lake. There’s also a beach with lounge chairs cabanas paddle boards & boat rides. The wine selection & culinary options were exquisite! The service is 5 star from Louis at the front desk to the bar lounge servers & restaurant staff! There’s a very cute museum & high tech gym with the newest machines. The rooms overlook the lake & are very quiet for a perfect night sleep. I highly recommend this location for romantic getaways family reunions & the adventure junkies that love to mountain bike hike & water-sports!

Perfect in every way
This was one of the most magnificent places we have ever stayed. From our check in to our check out every experience was perfect. The accommodations were incredible. If we needed anything it was provided immediately. The bed and bath were both divine. The views were majestic. Everywhere you look is one of the most beautiful pictures you’ve ever seen. The food was phenomenal. The bar was possibly the best bar we have been to, maybe ever. The staff were superb. We have hardly ever had such a positive experience.
