8/10 Good
"The Tirolerhof has a beautiful exterior and a charming traditional Alpine style. Its location is convenient and very close to the lake. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed the breakfast. Our bedroom was a good size, although the bathroom felt a little small. The showerhead and water pressure were great. However, the towels and bed linens could be better, and the hotel would benefit from a few updated amenities. There was no air conditioning, the Wi-Fi was weak, and the television was not a smart TV. We also found Zell am See itself a little quiet for our taste. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with wonderful service, but a few improvements would make it more comfortable."
