  Excellent location, good facilities, poor restaurant

  Excellent location halfway down the piste, wonderful to start a day skiing on fresh corduroy. Rooms clean and reasonably spacious, pleasnt public spaces. Pleasant friendly staff. Restaurant a major disappointment for the price; breakfast fruit juice cheap, watery coffee. Evening meals little choice on menu, mains less than exciting, most food tasted as if out of a catering pack rather than freshly prepared. A huge irritation was that our group of 4 was expected to take the evening meal at a time to suit the owner. On a couple of evenings we were told to be at the table for 18:00 or 18:30, as there was a large external group coming and she needed all the tables! Particularly galling when other apparently non-residents were accomodated at 20:00. We were given a complementary 'special' meal the last night by way of compensation, but it didn't wholly compensate.

  Spectacular view from the restaurant - Great place to get ressourced

  Rooms are decent, clean, practical. The best part is that the hotel is located at the top of the village so the view is fantastic from the restaurant where you can enjoy a good breakfast. Damuls is in the part of Austria which gets the most snow. We were there at the end of July and bingo....it snowed ! But it is a great feeling to stay in a place where it feels surreal. Not only the hotel location, but also the weather, the atmosphere, the colors, the fact that it is so quiet and so ....lost ! A great place to get a good sleep, forget about the pollution, pressure from work and all. Voralberg is the most typical region in Austria, and Walisgaden is a great place to stay to discover its wonders.

  Modern hotel, well-run, in a stunning location with excellent meals

  The hotel is located 250 meters above Damuels and 1000 meters above the Au-Schoppenau valley, so the air is cool even on warm days . We booked a premium room which had a spectacular view down the valley to the Rote Wand mountain (which turns pink on sunny days in the afternoon). The same views can be enjoyed from the pleasant sun terrace. The hotel is far up winding roads and, as flatlanders, I would not want to reach it at night or in bad weather. The Walisgaden was built in 1998 on the site of an older hotel and some parts of the older hotel are beautifully incorporated into the restaurant in the Bauernstube, where we had our meals. The hotel is in excellent condition and run very efficiently by a very accommodating and pleasant staff. We booked with meals which are well worth the additional cost as they are delicious. The breakfast had the usual extensive selection of meats and cereals, though only one cheese which seemed odd since this region is famous for its cheeses. Our room was very nice with a stone and old wood décor, plus fifteen foot wood-beamed ceilings. The bathroom was modern. Parking is adequate. The hotel has poor TV reception and no newspapers or magazines so bring reading material if you expect any free time. Hiking trails were not well marked near the hotel, and hiking can be strenuous since at this elevation they are mostly up and down. The Bregrenzerwald card gives free access to buses and a few lifts in the region, including Damuels. We used the card for a free bus trip to Bregenz and back. Note that it is convenient to drive to Au and take the bus from there, since from Au the bus travels almost hourly.

  Mountain retreat in Austrian Tyrol

  Heike runs a wonderful lodge up in the mountains. In summer, it's excellent for hikes up, where we met with farmers tending to their herds of cattle. You can stop by for a beer and a chat and buy fresh cheese. Dinner at Walisgaden was a treat, and Heike's mother makes the tarts and cheesecakes! There's also a sauna, which we didn't use. Highly recommended.

  Greedy Cruella

  It is actually quite a nice hotel, well located om the slope, but don't be fooled if you are with young kids, because it is runned by Greedy Cruella. She will charge you adult prices for young children for half board, without mercy. And if you take half board and you stay in a studio, she even dares to charge extra for cleaning the studio. Also the parking prices are ridiculous, while the other option for parking is about 700 meters down the mountain ( and then you have to climb yourself back up the mountain). She charged a six year old 78 euros for a Christmas eve dinner. Is she nuts? So do not go there unless you want to get ripped off by Cruella ( she even wears shoes, that look like they're made of Dalmatian dogskin!)
