Pension Montana

Excellent location - somewhat secluded and far enough from the main street to remain quiet, yet just one minute walking distance from local store and ski bus stop. The owner is very friendly and communicative. Speaks English and does not refrain from using the language, which is not necessarily true with other places in Austria I have stayed in before. Montana is a typical Austrian pension - a cozy, home-like place. The room was renovated and perfectly fine, nothing to complain about it. The toilet was of the old type - shelf design, which I personally dislike for various reasons. The bathroom has no ventilation, so the window has to be opened for several minutes when necessary. Breakfast was of somewhat limited choice, but still a solid Austrian standard: bread, choice of ham and cheese, butter, jams, nutella, fruit salad, cereal, soft boiled egg, juice, coffee/tea. Not that much to choose from, but I never left hungry.

Warm welcome from the staff, hot and good pressure of the shower. The breakfast was abundant (No hot dishes if someone is expecting it, in exception of boiled egg). Ping-pong table in the garden available. MTB and Hiking maps available at your arrival with wagrain-kleinarl card that gives you access to price reductions of several activities and one free entry to the Wasserwelt Wagrain. Very close to the mini market for snacks, hiking sandwiches. Simple to reach if you arrive with the bus. The bed was not the most comfortable for my taste (I like hard mattresses). The hand/soap was not available. The breakfast start at 8am, maybe asking a early breakfast can be helpful to catch earlier buses for hiking days.

Very friendly staff, good location. We had really nice time there. I would appreciate some hand soap in the room’s bathroom. Otherwise it was all great.

Very good
