I love history, so when I travel, I try to stay in places that have a sense of history or quirkiness or are in an awesome location and Gasthof zum Stern met all of those "requirements" and more. From the town of Oetz itself to the building that is hundreds of years old, I feel like I am stepping back in time, but in a good way. I truly felt literally at home here. The welcome could not have been friendlier, and all the staff were super happy and professional. I only had one night there, but I will try to book more and stay longer on my next European holiday. The room itself was very comfortable, and it even had a Nespresso machine (a novelty in Europe, I noticed). The bathroom was small but perfectly suitable, and the view of the Hausberg was rather lovely. Breakfast is one of the best I had in a long time. Also, they give the summer visitor card (Oetztal Sommer Card) to guests, and that is worth so much more. It is a Breakfast-only place but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is a drinks fridge where guests can help themselves and keep a list of their purchases and sort it at the end of the stay. Overall, it is one of the best places I stayed in my 9 weeks in Europe, and that is saying something:-)

There was nothing that I did not like

Georg is a fantastic host, he makes you feel as you're part of his family. He welcomed us with a drink, and spent time explaining everything about the Gasthof and the area. He recommended a walk to a nearby lake. Breakfast is superb, and the sauna house in an old barn is just amazing. Private parking is available. The inn itself is incredible, with old furniture and a unique charm. And to top it off, the Oetz Summer Card is an appreciated bonus!

Our bathroom was a bit old fashioned, but compared to the quality of the hotel, this is a detail

We had a fabulous weeks skiing & staying in the beautiful Gasthof zum Stern. I can't express enough how hospitable Georg & Andy were, nothing was too much trouble. Our room was beautiful and everything was impeccably clean. There is an amazing modern spa/sauna area and some of you Brits will be pleased to hear you don't have to strip off if you're not comfortable with it. Breakfast was fresh & plentiful and Andy cooked us amazing bacon and eggs. They have an honesty bar and on some evenings we returned from skiing and joined Georg, Andy and other guests for drinks at the bar, the schnapps were flowing and everyone was extremely friendly. Thanks Georg & Andy for making us so welcome. We miss you and will definitely be back to stay again. Sadie & Kevin X

We couldn't fault our stay, everything was great.

The host is a wonderful person. You feel at home from the fist minute after arrival. You can forget about any problems, logistics and other things. Just relax and have fun. Sauna Is great, rooms are super clean! breakfast is very good. Not a biggest choice you have ever seen (no vegetables at the time) but the things they serve are top quality. (You have to taste scrambled eggs with bacon - speck.). Room we had was not modern, but it was very comfortable.

Nothing, You can be closer to the cable car, you can have better view or more modern room. But you can't buy a host for any money. And Georg is worth millions. He makes you feel really welcome1

The atmosphere was great. George & Andy were superb hosts (only 30 years since I worked with them) 🤩 Breakfast was fab every day too and we liked the honesty bar system with outdoor seating area! 😁 Sauna facility and chilling room top notch….

Only one minor thing, our room needed a mirror. The bathroom mirror was too far away from the plug socket, so we could not see what we were doing!!! 😆

Really heartly host, Georg, that makes it unique in a a really old buildung, full of history and stories! So if you like to feel the timelime from the middle age to now in a valley of the alps - u r rigt! (A bit like an old monestary). The hoster is also quite helpful an casual in going on with you. Breakfast is top of the mountains as well!

Ok, to be honestly the plumbing unit is not really nice. For tall people its a bit small on a bit corners. You also must now, its a building of history.

They are more than friendly and try their best to make u feel comfortable. Amazing Sauna, good breakfast, great location and the summer card facility is inclusive which gives u a facility of using bus journey and the access to many other facilities like free entry to swimming pools and museums etc.

I don't find any problems.

We fell in love with the place thanks to Gogo and Andy's warm and heartfelt hospitality. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the views are breathtaking and the home-made breakfast rich and tasty. We left with tears in our eyes 🥹

George was the ultimate host. Explains everything, answers every question, advises about the route, weather, etc. Gives the Emek Otz summer ticket at no additional cost. Which gives free entry to most petitions in the valley. The room was new after renovation, clean and tidy. It's just fun to stay in a place like this.

Everything was perfect

Beautiful old guesthouse with an absolutely heartwarming welcome! Georg and his family immediately made us feel like home. We also got good tips for activities. Great breakfast to start the day and relaxing sauna to finish it of!
