My wife and I have stayed at Gasthof Simony 3 times in the last 10 or 12 years. We first found this little treasure from Rick Steves (travel writer). Wow, what a cool home perched right on the glacier lake, surrounded by the towering Alps. This is not a fancy place--we have stayed at plenty of those too. This is... more

Stayed one night at the Gasthof Simony as that was all the time we had to spend in Hallstatt. Would have loved to spend more time at this hotel. Very nice, clean hotel right on the lake. Did not have reservations before hand. Had absolutely no problems at all. Room had a beautiful view of the lake. This is an... more

We stayed at Simony because the other place we wanted was fully occupied. The location was great, just a short walk from the ferry dock. It was convenient as we arrived on a rainy day. The lovely old lady running the place doesn’t speak much English. There’s a younger woman in her 20s who’s sometimes around at the computer but... more

Despite booking in February (for August) and getting a confirmation email from Suzanne, on arrival we were told quite shortly that we had no room. All rooms were booked. We later found out that three or... more

We had called and talked with suzanne on the morning of our arrival and was assured she would have a room available for two nights. We checked in that afternoon and found out the room was still occupied and was given another room with the understanding that she would have to move us the next morning. We were given a... more

My family and I stayed at the Gasthof Simony last week, and loved it. My in-laws had a room overlooking the town square, the view was breathtaking. Our room didn't have a view, but since we spent our time relaxing with a glass of wine in the marketplace until bedtime it didn't matter to us. The breakfast was the best... more
