Disliked: Staff & service
The front staffs had attitude. They did not like to kindly explain about the facilities. I requested the dinner reservation but our table was not booked so we had to wait for an hour. (The restaurant staffs were nice though).

Not a bad hotel. Food was good for breakfast. The hot water went out in our room and had to repack all out stuff to get moved to a lessor size room. No discount for the inconvenience offered.

Confortevole
un buon hotel, dotato di tutti i comfort per una bella vacanza. Avendo già soggiornato in un'altra struttura molto vicina, peraltro della stessa proprietà, questa avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata...
Das Hotel hat einen sehr schönen Eingangsbereich. Bei der Inneneinrichtung wurde viel Holz verwendet und damit hebt sich der Oberforsthof ab von so manchem 'modernem' Hotel mit minimalistischer und kalter Einrichtung. Der Wellnessbereich ist überschaubar, ein paar Liegen mehr im Untergeschoss bei den Saunen wären wünschenswert. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut mit üppigem Buffet und Prosecco. Zum 5-gängigem Abendessen stehen jeweils 2-3 Hauptspeisen zur Auswahl, die ebenfalls sehr lecker sind.
Amazing location, peaceful and quiet, great hotel amenities. Perfect for wellness weekend outside skiseason. Staff is profesional and food was amazing. Def.worth the money.
Wunderschöner Aufenthalt mit meiner Familie. Wellnessbereich sowohl innen als auch außen sehr schön, tolles Bergpanorama.
Ausflüge / Wandertouren direkt vom Hotel aus möglich, man braucht hier kein Auto. Personal sehr freundlich, Essen sehr gut.
Wir können das Hotel mit gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen.
Kan starkt rekommendera Hotellet och skidområdet.
Hotellet lever väl upp till sina 4 stjärnor. Maten, 5 rätters är utmärkt. Frukost med allt vad det innebär. SUPER!
Wifi fungerar i Lobbyn och matsalen. Väldigt svag eller obefintlig signal på rummet
All the staff were wonderful at the Oberforsoff, nothing was to much trouble, service excellent. Beautiful pool, spa area. Choice of dinning on offer very good.
My only complaints would be bedrooms very hot during the night and smoking allowed in the bar, although there was a lovely lounge to sit and enjoy a drink. Saying that we plan to return next year.
Högklassigt hotell i kanten av gigantiskt skidområde. Bäst: Frukosten som slår det mesta samt ett finfint spa.
Sämst: Lyhört och en jobbig toalettfläkt.
Övervägande äldre gäster. Lugnt och stilla.
Vi hade två övernattningar på hotellet sommartid. Vi hade beställt halvpension och det visade sig att det ingick lunch (tre olika rätter från buffé) samt 5-rätters på kvällen. Maten var utsökt!
Omgivningarna var fantastiska!
Den enda nackdelen var att det inte fanns AC på rummet o det var 30 grader ute när vi var där då det blek väldigt varmt på rummet.
Man fick en liten burk marmelad med sig hem vid utcheckning vilket var en gullig gest :)
Hotel location is pretty good. There is plenty of opportunities for hiking. I have to highlight also stunning view from hotel room.
The hotel itself is simply perfect - when it comes to service, facilities and restaurant. Breakfast offer is very wide, the hotel offers even vegan option of breakfast and everything is fresh.
Overall I want to recommend this hotel. We´ve enjoyed our stay and there no doubts will come back again.

Schönes Hotel
Weitläufiges Hotel mit schönem Innenpool, nettes Personal und gute Auswahl beim Frühstück (Frische, Smoothies, Brotsorten). Super Ausblick vom Zimmer. Streichelzoo im Garten. Großer Fitnessraum. Sauna war leider schon eher zu als angegeben.
Vi havde en kort skiferie i Alpendorf på dette hotel. Det var et super ophold med god service på hotellet og skiområdet er også godt. Alt i alt et rigtig god mini-ferie.
Jeg var på Oberforsthof i forbindelse med en skiferie.
Det perfekte sted for enkeltpersoner, par og familier med børn fra 7-8 år og opefter.
Den lækreste morgenbuffet, indbydende kagebord hver eftermiddag og 5-6 retters menu hver aften.
Meget venligt personale.
For skientusiaster er hotellet oplagt, da der ligger en lift lige på modsatte side af vejen. Fra hotellet har man udsigt over pisten. Fantastisk smukt!
Fint fitnesscenter med maskiner fra Technogym og et virkelig lækkert poolområde.
Eneste minusser er, at det er tilladt at ryge i restaurantens bar, som ligger lige ved siden af restauranten, derudover må der ryges på hotellets terrasse, hvilket også tæller ned.
Drop dead, picture postcard beautiful. Fantastic staff. Wonderful food. Beds were just a little too hard for our liking. Can't wait to go back in the winter
