Arena Franz Ferdinand Nassfeld

I’m not sure why this review has taken me so long to write as this hotel is absolutely outstanding in every single way. We went as a large(ish) group of friends , 6 x adults, 8 x kids and 1 x baby (and a partridge in a pear tree ) over New Year. It was our kids first time skiing and the whole resort, hotel, amenities did not disappoint! Walking distance to the slopes, in room ski/boot room, ski hire next door, incredible breakfast and evening buffet with high quality (healthy) and varied food choices plus lots of added extras that make this hotel really special. I’m not sure how we managed it but we skiied all day, came back to the hotel, went swimming in the beautiful indoor/outdoor pool (with view of the slopes) the kids went off to the kids clubs (fully staffed with brilliant people so parental supervision not required), adults chilled at the bar and then for our evening meal (which once the kids had finished they resumed their wide variety of activities in the kids club allowing us to have more wine and really relax!) A party was put on by the hotel for NYE complete with oysters, photo booth, fireworks, live music and goulash soup at midnight. Plus other evening entertainment on various nights. The climbing wall was a big hit and available at any point during the day/night, we didn’t use it as much as we’d envisioned as there was so much else to do! Yes the rooms are a touch clunky and loud when in the boot room area but once in the bedroom section the noise is minimal and the beds super comfy. And let’s be honest, all you’re doing is sleeping there so it was more than perfect Since returning, we’re planning our next trip already, best skiing holiday ever, Nassfeld and the Franz Ferdinand hotel really are outstanding!

We have just returned from a week's skiing holiday in Nassfeld, staying at the Arena Franz Ferdinand. This hotel is amazing! The staff are so polite and friendly. A special mention to Kamil who helped us to change the time of our transfer at the end of our stay. This was not an easy task. Kamil went above and beyond his duties to ensure that we arrived at the airport at the correct time. He saved us so much stress! We are so grateful to him. The rooms are top quality and you also have your own ski and boot room attached to your room. Food is self service buffet style and again top quality. The pasta chef is a brilliant chef and is always so smiley and happy to help. The hotel is the closest we’ve ever been to a ski lift, so very convenient. Also an 8 min walk to a local supermarket. The sauna and swimming pool are great places to relax after skiing. The design and layout of this hotel is brilliant. Lots of activities for children/teenagers of all ages - climbing wall, table tennis, pool table, gaming area with multiple PlayStation 5s, table football and electronic arcade basketball. A really great ski hotel.
