“Thumbs up!”

We visited Zell Am See in Sept’11 and stayed at Haus Ashling. There are several positives. Margaret, our friendly hostess, kept in touch with us by e-mail from a week earlier and text-messaged us with her contact details. She picked us up from the train station since we were using public transport and dropped us back on the last day. The views of the lake and the town from Haus Ashling are simply superb as it is perched up high on the hillside. The advantage of this property lies here and also due to the fact that it is away from the noisy railway line which cuts across Zell. The property itself is new and spotlessly clean. There is a lovely bar though we didn’t use it. The breakfast was standard; we did enjoy the freshly baked rolls. On the day we arrived at mid-day, Margaret served us with complimentary tea and cake. Her hospitality was appreciated. She helped us with our itinerary and gave us some worthwhile tips. The beds were quite comfortable and we slept well. On the other hand, the negatives must also be weighed in to give the correct perspective. The climb up to the property is rather steep. So unless you are used to such activity, you should really take it easy, stopping frequently as required to catch your breath. Our room was a triple (we travelled as a couple with our 10 year old child), but it was very tiny and there was hardly place for us to unpack our bags. The bathroom was miniscule. We asked for a different room but were told that for the price that we paid, that is what could be offered else we would have to pay extra, although the hotel was vacant except for us. Room had no telephone or fan, but had a small cupboard and a TV unit. Cutlery is provided when requested and on the last day, we packed our own breakfast since we had to catch the early train. In the end, at about 80€ per night including breakfast, I think it was a great deal!

“Beautiful view, good value, quiet, very clean & new”

I really enjoyed my stay here. It began with the hotel owners picking us up at the train station, which was a huge help. The room itself was furnished with all new fixtures, furniture, and fluffy blanket. The rooms were clean and sparkling. Plus, it's up a bit from the town center, so not only is there a stunning view, but it's so wonderfully quiet. I slept so well here! In the morning, I enjoyed my tea on the terrace that overlooked the lake. Absolutely memorable. There is a hiking path just past the hotel if you need to work off a piece of Sachertorte. Our room was just large enough for the bed and not much else, if you're bothered by that kind of thing. Probably other rooms are larger. Overall, I recommend staying here!

“A Skiing holiday to remember”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2011

This was our 1st skiing hol with young kids and what a great decision to stay in Haus Aisling! Margaret, Eugene & Nell ooze warmth, friendliness and efficiency - from picking us up to sorting our equipment rental and passes. Then when we got to the B & B we were blown away by the views! The location is excellent with a short walk to town and the ski station. The accommodation was spotless, the food always fresh and lots of games for the kids as you'd expect BUT nothing can prepare you for the warmth and home from home feeling, a great mix of young and old sharing stories of events on the slopes. Nell & Margaret are always at hand full of sound advice and recommendations. You won't do better by choosing Haus Aisling - the steep walk up didn't stop our 5 yr old any day. It was recommended to us and surpassed our expectations on all levels

Haus Ashling has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed. My husband and I are true ski- aholics and we were recommended this guesthouse by a friend. We took our first trip in January of 2009 and from the word go, straight into holiday mode. We went on a self drive holiday and the minute we got off the plane Eugene was on the phone making sure we were okay to find the place. When we finally arrived in Zell we were greeted by our hosts Margaret and Eugene who kindly took us to the ski hire shop to organise our skis and ski passes for the week and stayed with us until we were sorted. They are both from Ireland so you are guaranteed the friendly "cead mile failte" Irish welcome. We arrived at the guest house and my what a place, after a short ascent up the hill you're greeted by a breathtaking back drop of fabulous slopes. The house is nestled nicely on the side of the ski slope which makes for easy access to the runs. The gondola station is just 100 metres away down a short run from the house. You can literally ski out of the back yard of the guesthouse in the morning down an excellent man made track which makes skiing out on to the main slope perfect. After your day on the slopes you can ski right back to the back door with ease. There is a boot room down stairs where your boots can dry overnight and your skis can be securely stored. This is a meticulously maintained guesthouse. Its rooms are very spacious, spotlessly clean and some boast balconies which have lovely views over Zell am See. Breakfast in the morning is continental with a selection of cereals, fruit juices, homemade bread, preserves, and fresh fruit. An Irish breakfast can be requested the night before for the following morning if you'd prefer.
There is an "Honesty bar" in the guesthouse where you can get yourself a drink when the owners are not around and you write on a notebook what you get. There is a huge lounge area with large cream leather couches where you can chill out and relax and take in the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and it gives you a chance to mix with the other guests if you feel like it.
During our stay our every need was attended to and nothing was too much trouble.
This guest house in our opinion was quite literally " home away from home".
We find this place so good that we are now back from our third trip there and are really looking forward to our next trip next winter!
