Best accommodation you've experienced

Hotel, catered chalet or otherwise where would you rate the best in terms of value for money, quality of food, closeness to lifts etc

For me it would be the time I went to Saalbach, I think it was hotel ongonda or something. Minutes from the chair lift, use of steam room sauna and pool (they have a very liberal attitude to covering up in the saunas in Austria as in none makes females mingling freely with everything on view!!- something to watch out for if not used to it!!) a breakfast menu that was a lot more than just 'continental' as in numerous cooked items, evening meal which comprised of 5 courses with 3 to 4 choices for starter main course and desert, coffee, wine hot chocolate and pastries on return for the day on the pistes served between 4 and 5.30 all for €950 per person which included flights and transfers.

Fantastic food, great central location and a tunnel to the Alpentherme so that you can walk over and back in a bathrobe without having to get dressed and brace for the nighttime temps.

We were repeat visitors, often booking for next year whilst we were there.

Stayed in the Edelweiss a few years back, couldn't fault the place, great location, great food, maybe a little quiet for some though, heading to the Postwirt in Soll on Saturday, believe its the berries, will post on return.

Aww Bajj good choice- the Postwirt is great!! Great atmosphere, great food, great live music, I love it. I'll prob see you there at some stage- the big round stone table just inside the door is a favourite haunt- enjoy!! ;-)

Re: best accommodation: I would say Lyngen in Norway. It's just a spectacular place, I loved it!! Was also made more enjoyable by the fact it was a business trip- I probably wouldn't have found it so enjoyable if I was paying..! Norway is bloody expensive, but a magical place ;-)

Haha sorry Road-Hog I was responding to Bajj, he'd said he's staying in the Postwirt Hotel in Soll, Austria. Great hotel, very old traditional Austrian style but with all mod cons
