This is clearly visible on the map.

No, in the event of early departure, our standard cancellation policy applies. A refund for services not used, such as breakfast or dinner, is therefore not possible.
17. If I’m leaving before breakfast, can I get a packed lunch?
If you wish to leave before breakfast – for example, to avoid traffic jams on your journey home – we naturally understand.
However, it is not possible to exchange the included breakfast for a packed lunch, as we place our orders and plan our catering well in advance.
You are welcome to order a packed lunch for €10 per person.
18. Is the outdoor pool heated?
Yes, our outdoor pool is heated all year round. In winter, the water temperature is up to around 30 °C, and in summer up to around 26 °C.
19. Why aren’t there any minibars or fridges in the rooms?
At Hotel Austria, we place great importance on sustainability and the responsible use of resources. As minibars in many hotel rooms are rarely used, we have chosen not to provide additional fridges and thus avoid the associated energy consumption.
Instead, a drinks and snacks vending machine is available 24 hours a day at our reception. This means you can help yourself to drinks and light snacks at any time.
Would you like to keep something cool? You’re welcome to leave food, drinks or other items that need to be kept cool with us. We’ll store them for you in the fridge or freezer.
20. Can I arrange for a surprise to be organised for a birthday or wedding anniversary?
We’d be delighted to help you make special occasions such as birthdays or wedding anniversaries truly unforgettable!
Whether it’s roses, champagne, sparkling wine or personalised requests – just let us know what you have in mind and we’ll take care of organising and preparing your surprise.
Please contact us in good time, ideally several weeks before your stay, so that we have sufficient time for planning and procurement. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate last-minute requests made within the same week.
The requested additional services must be ordered and paid for in advance. We will then take care of the arrangements on site, so that you can relax and enjoy your special occasion.
