property was gorgeous, lawn outside was gorgeous and well maintained, over the small road there was a gorgeous area with sun loungers, pontoon and stairs to climb into the water (definitely go for a swim if weather permits) the property inside was equally as beautiful, large balconies, great bar, and incredible rooms!!

there’s nothing wrong with this property it’s just incredible for the value for money, location, looks and amazing staff

Strandhotel Margaretha is a lovely traditional property with a great view! It is very well located for accessing the old cog train (which takes you to the mountain) and both ferries. Additionally, it is only 5-10 minute walk into the St. Wolfgang town and it’s an easy drive from Salzburg airport. Room was nicely furnished in a combination of eclectic and traditional style with plenty of storage space and separate bathroom, plus a separate space with wardrobe. Feels like certain rooms have had their bathrooms modernised, while ours was slightly old fashioned (not a major problem functionality wise). The best part of the hotel for summer guests is a private beach/dock well equipped with paddle boards, row boats, etc. for enjoying the lake. And bikes!

Hotel vibe is not quite "the design vibe" as advertised, more traditional style (nothing wrong with that). The lobby has not been updated as nicely as certain rooms. Common spaces are a bit dated, especially the ones taking you to the rooms in the back, and hallway carpets are in a desperate need of replacement. Elevator is not user friendly for all the floors. Breakfast is a bit boring, nothing wrong with the quality, but lacking in variety and imagination. Lastly, parking at the hotel itself was a true chaos! Not really something hotel can influence, but be aware of overprivileged Mercedes/BMW/Audi drivers taking over 2 parking spots for their precious cars.

Fantastic place - especially sitting for breakfast with a view is amazing. Private beach with great facilities, tasteful room furnishings.

It was just short of ten points compared to the best hotels in St. Wolfgang. Examples: - ran out of green tea and no one refilled it (ordered) in 5 days, while not having 20 types of tea that no one drinks - at breakfast, change the monotony a little (or expand the offer) and sometimes a few details are enough - for example, cut radishes or add different fruits during breakfast, add dressing for vegetables or fish, a good selection of sweets for breakfast, but the same variety, etc. - put some water or at least cups in the wellness area It's the little things, but there are more of them, and that's what sets the best ones apart, that they deal with it.

The hotel restaurant over looks the lake, our room over looked the lake, the terrace over looks the lake and if you want to look closer they have a lovely deck next to the lake that you can swim from. The location is excellent. You can swim, rent bikes, walk, get the little foot ferry or tack the cog train all within flat easy walking. It’s an easy drive from Salzburg airport (approx an hour). The hotel has a sauna and a solarium you can relax in. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking- picturesque mountains and lakes - it really is like being on the set of The Sound of Music! I’m would recommend to friends and family and we are planning to return. For something really special the hotel has a separate self contained room actually on the lake.

Nothing - it exceeded our expectations.

The location was really good. We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was good as well. The hotel has its own private beach and this is an added value. Everything was within walking distance. The parking was free.

Nothing.

Lovely traditional property with a great view of the lake and very well located for the old cable car and ferry. It is a 5-10 minute walk into the town and is no hardship. Room was nicely furnished in an eclectic and traditional manner and our bathroom was slightly old fashioned but worked well. I believe other rooms have had their bathrooms modernised, but it was not a problem. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice, both hot and cold and we had a good meal in the restaurant at night, which was also good value. Had a lovely sauna area with a relaxation room which we made use of one afternoon. Staff were always helpful and friendly and we would certainly stay here again.

Bathroom slightly old fashioned but really not much else to complain about.

Location is superb! What made the stay outstanding is that the staff was making everything so uncomplicated for us: parking super stress-free (even when parking in front of hotel is full, they provide you with an easy Plan B solution); bicycles can be used free of charge as well as stand up paddle boards and small boats

Unfortunately, the fresh towel in the bathroom was covered with other women‘s hair when we arrived. However, everything else was very clean!

Excellent location near to town centre and close to train station Schafbergbahn. Wonderful lake view from your room. Spacious and comfortable room with nice big bathroom. Excellent breakfast buffet with good choices of cold and hot dishes. Nice restaurant with good dinner menu. Staff very friendly and helpful

The hotel is closed after 10pm so when we arrived late the first evening there was no food or drink available at the hotel

The hotel is facing the lake and was renovated not so long ago. Beds are comfy and the bathroom clean. The amenities exceeded our expectations: the hotel offers free beach towels, beach bag, bathrobes - all very useful for leasurely spending your time on their small but private beach. There are also free SUPs and a couple of boats if you feel like doing a little sport. The greatest thing was that bicycles were also free of charge. In the room there was a teapot with some teabags and instant coffee, but no need since really a very decent breakfast was included (and on a terrace with a lake view).

It's a bit tricky to find a parking place in front of the hotel, but they provide you with a parking card for a nearest car park a couple of minutes away. One minus - no air conditioning.

We loved absolutely everything. We arrived by bus from Bad Ischl, hotel is 1 min walk from it as well, it is also clause to the ferry port and train that goes to the mountain (hiking trail also starts there). City center is 10-15 mins walk away which was more than. Very nice and friendly reception. Room is clean, quiet, has nice interior, everything necessary provided, amazing balcony with LAKE (and parking) view - we were not supposed to have any view so no problem here. Comfy bed. Breakfast is good quality with many healthy options, nothing exceptional, but very decent. Hotel's beach is great, we were swimming, took a boat and used paddleboard. Bikes are provided free of charge too and we had a ride to the other side, unfortunately not possible to do the full circle around the lake :'( Hotel Sauna is amazing too. It has been an amazing stay!

Prices are really high in the area, but hotel deserves every euro spent :)
