 SS123's recommendation | |
The hotel Norica is very big and beautiful. The rooms are very pleasant, well decorated and also very clean. The swimming pool, sauna and steam room are all very nice and also very clean. Most of the staff are very polite and friendly.
There was only two bad points. The first was the language barrier; some of the serving staff at dinner only spoke German so if you're German wasn't too good then there was a bit of a language problem. The second problem was that there wasn't a great deal of choice on the menu and if you didn't like anything, they would only make Spaghetti Bolognese.
The Hotel Norica is also connected to the Alpen therme via an underground passageway that you can get to directly from your room in a bathrobe. The Alpen therme is a huge swimming area, it has both heated outdoor and indoor pools. Other facilities are named Relax World, Ladies World, Sauna World, Sports World and Family World that also has water slides, all which you get to use free if you stay in the Hotel Norica. Skiing in this resort is very good but there was a slight lack of fresh snow there the week of 13th Jan 2007 but it is not usually like this. There is four main areas you can ski with your pass and all are worth trying and you get to use the free ski bus that takes you to these areas. All in all, I do think Bad Hofgastein is worth a visit and the Hotel Norica is a good place to use as a base, especially if you're German is better than mine, which by the way in pretty poor.
