The overall experience at Comodo was exceptional; from the facilities, the design of the hotel itself to the smallest detail, the attention to detail and the little gestures. A particular callout to the personnel at Comodo - everyone, from the people at the reception, the bar, to the people at the restaurant, was SO AMAZING, polite, friendly, and professional. This really made a difference in the whole experience. The food was super fresh and mostly organic. Really enjoyed everything.

I could write an essay about the cōmodo and the way it exceeded my already pretty high expectations — I discovered it on Instagram last year before it opened, and decided to spend a few days in Austria this summer basically just to go there. First impressions go a long way, and on arrival the exceptionally friendly staff made us feel immediately welcome. These people really will accommodate any request you have, they're so good at their jobs. Special shoutout to the man on the reception desk (from Madrid) and the blonde lady working the breakfast shit who were really wonderful and so genuinely friendly. But let's rewind — the cōmodo is located up a steep hill quite a way from the train station (25-30 minutes walk), so if not arriving by car you might want to book a taxi. We walked and arrived pretty sweaty. But the upshot of that is that the views are *incredible*. If you have a room with a valley view like ours, you literally have a 180 panorama from your balcony and it's truly breathtaking, especially in the morning when the clouds roll over the Alps, and at night with the town below lit up. The vista alone is priceless. I was drawn to the cōmodo for its design aesthetic, which recreates plush 1970s living spaces with vintage sofas and warm mood lighting in the bar and reception. The attention to detail is pretty incredible. It's a great space to relax in. The restaurant is chic too, and the rooms really are fabulous, right down to the custom rugs (replicating the mountain scapes of Bad Gastein) and the green-tiled en-suites. The best compliment I can give it is that, having stayed in quite a few Alpine hotels this summer and last, the cōmodo is the only one in which I could happily spend an entire day without leaving. There's nothing clinical about it, relaxing there is effortless, the pool, gym and sauna have been constructed to the highest quality, the breakfast is sensational, the sundeck a seductive way to kill an afternoon.

Truly I didn't dislike anything at all. I heard from another guest that the hotel was quite understaffed, and the staff team was definitely slim but they kept everything running super smoothly throughout. The dinner menu is a bit slim at the minute with few vegetarian/vegan options, so maybe there's room for improvement there. But the staff were really accommodating in making a vegetarian pasta dish specifically for us, and the dinner prices are surprisingly reasonable.

Nice and modern vibe, liked the furniture, warm welcoming staff at the reception (especially the nice swedish lady), good selection and quality at the breakfast combined with a lovely view over the valley, tried 2 room types from which the valley views are the best.

Really poor lights in the bathroom = dark. Room w the mountain view means you are really next to the walk way and exposed in the bath tub and room overall unless you close the curtains. Book rather a valley view if you like privacy. Smoking is allowed on all balconies so either you keep the windows closed or get the smoke in your room. Tip: a designated area outdoor for smokers would be a better option like many alpine locations nowadays offer.

Breakfast was buffet style and additionally you can order egg dishes from the kitchen. The food is of a high standard, locally sourced. The dinner menu was small but excellent. They have a good winelist. Fantastic view into the valley. Great sauna, pool and sundeck.

Service is very mixed, clearly the restaurant team needs a lot more training. Everyone is very friendly and trying hard but not always succeeding. The food and beverage manager was excellent and very professional. The hotel just opened and need some finetuning. The outside could be more inviting, the rooms are nice but quite small.

The staff is very friendly and always helpful. When we checked in, they upgraded us to a larger room with a great view of the mountains and close to the elevator. This hotel has a very chic location. From the room's terrace, you could see the mountains and the sky. There are many different hiking trails nearby. There weren't many people during the weekdays, and we just wanted to get away from people and the city and breathe in the fresh forest air. Also, there aren't many restaurants in the town overall, but the hotel provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which was very convenient for me personally. In the afternoon, you could use the sauna, from which you could go out onto the terrace with a view of the mountains. If we want to escape the city again, we will definitely come back.

The lunch options are somewhat limited. We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights, and during that time we definitely tried everything on the lunch menu. As a result, we opted for the buffet option, as we either didn't want the additional options or they were too large. Also, the sauna and pool are located on different floors. This wasn't a big deal for us because we could go out onto the terrace after the sauna. But it might be important for some people. P.S.: If you are traveling here by train, better take a taxi, because the road to the hotel is not easy. You can take a number to call for a taxi in the restaurant in front of the railway station.

+ - The staff were very nice and offered great suggestions for things to do. - E bikes were wonderful (they do charge €35-50 per day) - Breakfast was diverse with healthy options and lunch menu is great value for money - Spa was very nice and the views were beautiful. - The massage therapy we both had by Ronnie was probably the best ever. - Hotel quiet and perfect location for several key hiking trails - Rooms well designed and large (we had the Deluxe Suite) with modern decor

- Dinner menu should offer lighter options for those not wanting sauces etc - Music playlist in dining area is the same every day

Amazing comfortable stay

A fantastic hotel with an excellent breakfast of fresh juices, ginger shots, very tasty bread and coffee. Very stylish swimming pool and reception area. And a delightful spa. Nearby, nature trails in various directions and a great opportunity to rent a bike directly at the hotel. I can't think of anything better. Quiet, peaceful and very beautiful.

The fact that you had to leave :(

*Location: The location is tops 30 min walking to anywhere in Bad Gastein. *Staff: The staff there is the real deal, from the front desk, passing the breakfast and restaurant staff, to the bar, all of them are great. *The room: Super clean, cosy and spacious. *The facility: Very organized, great indoor pool, SPA and good gym. *Special thanks: Among all the great staff, my wife and I want to give special thanks to Nessi and Filip, who made "exceptional" hospitality services, which made us plan our next winter trip to the same hotel.

With all the respect, the desks in the rooms should be replaced with something more stable, and hopefully to revise the "No fridge" policy.

Every thing except no kettle in room
