We stayed at Hotel Stangl for 6 nights as part of a Shearings all inclusive break to Thaur in Austria.

It was a most amazing hotel in every way from the moment we got there till the moment we left.  Sergio Brashnjann is the manager along with his wife and wonderful “children” Hava and Iilr; they were amazing working SO hard and on duty every day from morning till night.  The parents should be proud of their daughter and son! We had great fun one evening when Iilr tried to teach us Albanian, so we can now say good morning, good evening and goodnight.

The food was superb; no choice as such but alternatives could always be requested.  Each main meal started with a visit to the salad counter (yum, yum = Austrian potato salad), then a soup or other course, a main meal and a dessert.  The breakfast / packed lunches could not have been better with a massive choice of everything.  The house white wine was perfect and my husband enjoyed the lager; lots of other soft drinks on tap and chilled water  but beware of the strength of the orange and the blackcurrant – great once diluted with soda, lemonade or water.

There is no evening entertainment but as the evening meal didn't start till 7.30pm this didn't matter really as just relaxing with the food, laughter and drink was good enough for us.

Our room was enormous with a balcony even though we didn’t ask for one.  The loo was separate from the bathroom and our bed was big.  There was even a sitting room area with a sofa and two chairs.  The Wi-Fi in the hotel is brilliant downstairs and we also got it sometimes in our room.  4G is good.  TV reception is terrible most of the time.  The best thing we managed to get all week was the roving weather channel (11 and 13) and we saw one German football game and also Peppa Pig in German.

Apart from the included trips and one extra, we explored the area on foot, walking across the tracks of the vegetable fields to nearby villages and also to the church, high on the hillside behind the hotel.  We walked 9 miles that day but that time was so special.  We didn’t use it, but a frequent bus passes the door to Innsbruck. The hotel does not have a map of local paths/roads so maybe best to print one in advance if you like this sort of thing.

Summing up, it was an amazing holiday.  The décor of the hotel is special.  I would be a bit apprehensive to go back there again as it might not come up to the visit of this time.  I guess any manager could do well, but they would be hard to come up to the standards of The Brashnjann Family.

SO, SO special in every way

I am staying here at the moment and feel I have to write this review. We are here with a coach party. The hotel is lovely but it has a lot of short comings. We have had the same waitress and waiter both morning and evening and have to say I feel they are very put on. I can't fault them but feel they need support from other staff. The salad of an evening is placed on the table with no temperature control as are the meats cheeses yogurts milk etc in the morning. I know things are different to our country but to me this is an ideal environment for bacteria to breed. Other hotels we have stayed in in Austria have had these things in a temperature controlled environment. The cleaning of the rooms leave a lot to be desired. It has been explained I have an allergy to mushrooms on 2 consecutive evening we have had mushrooms my meal was returned only for mushrooms to come out again. I gave up after that. I know its all inclusive but having to pour your drinks and do your own pack lunch is taking it a bit too far. Also if you're not down early for breakfast then the food is on the low side. We have not seen the owners once. This is a first for us as usually they greet us and say bye when you leave. I am waiting with baited breath to see if this happens when we leave on Saturday morning.

Having read the reviews from 2016 I was very concerned about this hotel but my fears were unfounded. It was beautiful, very ornate with large airy rooms. The one pillow was very soft and I needed 2 but my husband needed 4 to be comfortable, however when we asked, the pillows were delivered straight away. I did request a room away from the church bells but was given one overlooking the church with bells and a clock that chimed every 15 mins till midnight, and then started again at 5am. Luckily we are hard of hearing so it didn't disturb us but others found it very disturbing. The hot water broke down twice but was soon fixed again. The food was very good, mainly Austrian dishes but only one choice though you could ask for an alternative but it would have been better if there was a choice of menu to start with. Ours was an 'all inclusive' deal with packed lunches every day which were very generous but soon everyone was using breakfast butter, cheese etc to make them to their liking so it might be better if the hotel adopted the way of others and just allowed guests to do their own. It would save them money in the long run.
The wine and beer was free till 10pm and the wine was lovely but the beer kept running out which annoyed some guests. The staff were lovely, especially the young girl and boy who served us in the restaurant every night, they were very quick and great fun. I believe there was a spa but it was not open which was a shame. If it was August I suspect the lack of air conditioning might be a problem but otherwise I would recommend this hotel so long as you remember you are going to experience a different culture and don't expect it to be the same as in England, and keep your sense of humour if things go wrong as the staff will soon right them for you.

Beautiful hotel if a little quirky at times!!

We visited the Hotel Stangle in October 2016 for 6 days as part of a coach holiday with Shearings from England.  This is a traditional built and family run hotel dating back over a hundred years, with plenty of wood and ornate finishes and large balconies overlooking the mountains each side of the valley .  It is located in the town of Thaur (Pronounced “Tower”) in the Inn Valley, under 9 km from the centre of Innsbuck, connected with a frequent bus service from outside the hotel door.  This is an ideal location to view the many beautiful attractions along the Inn valley and surrounding area.
Our room (106) had the tradition Austrian bed, made up of a single frame with two mattresses and two duvet covers.  This was a large room which also had a settee (convertible to another bed) as well a table and chair, an area that could be curtained off (see picture.)  There is a separate WC and a separate bathroom with sink, bidet and bath, the bath included a screen and shower, all accessed from a corridor within the room running along the front of the hotel into the corner round window on the first floor (the 1st floor bay and 3 windows to the right in the picture.)  Sadly the bed was not as comfortable as it might have been and we thought that the mattress is due for replacement as might the pillows which we found rather “flat.”  Others in our group, however, spoke of very comfortable beds.  In the early days there were some concerns about a lack of heating in the bedrooms.  Whilst we were comfortable others were not.  We understand that the heating is not normally switched on in early October, but it was at the request of our drivers.  
Our hosts were very pleasant although English language was limited.  Perhaps this was the reason that our TV was not fixed, with a simple missing TV cable, a problem reported twice.  The TV was not a real problem, not to us an essential item, although others in our group said they were disappointed that there were no English language channels:  If the hotel is to continue to look for English guests then perhaps the addition (simple we would think) of an English language channel, such as a news channel, might be advantageous.  
The food was of a traditional fayre, with the self service breakfast consisting of a variety of cereal dishes with milk or yogurt, fruit and the usual cold meats, cheese, jams etc. to eat on semmels (a traditional Austrian bread roll.)  Boiled eggs were added to the selection.  Fruit juices, coffee and a variety of teas were available.
Our “all inclusive” package included a take-out lunch.  For lunch drink cartons, chocolate/biscuit bars fruit and a paper bag were provided, and you could make your own sandwich with the semmels, cheese and meat etc.  Whilst the food was good, a wider selection, particularly cheeses and meats would have been welcome, and even a little salad, as you felt you were having the same meal for breakfast and lunch.  The evening meals were one of two choices, again traditional fayre.  Some guests complained of a lack of “English” food but we think that is quite unreasonable in Austria!
When we returned to the hotel in the afternoons there was always some cake available with tea or coffee or the choice of cold drinks, as our inclusive package included drinks which consisted of red or white wine, beer on tap or soft drinks on tap, all self service.
We understand that the hotel is new to providing facilities for the English coach industry and although there are some minor areas to improve they seem very keen to improve and provide great accommodation.

Traditional Tyrolean family hotel

Stayed at this Hotel on all inclusive basis on a coach holiday. It was clear from the onset that the hotel staff were ill-prepared and ill-equipped to accommodate such a high number of guests. Hotel not clean, bedrooms and bathrooms equally unkempt. There was a noticeable lack of staff, both domestic and waiting on. Food was basic but adequate. It was apparent that the staff could not cope. They did their best, but the owner was absent and any request for clean towels, bedding, rooms to be cleaned etc was not acted upon and it was our last day when the bedding was changed. The public areas were not inviting and despite two large function rooms being available these were not accessible and we ate either in a small room off the bar area or outside. The hotel lift was unreliable and not fixed until Friday 1st September.  When a birthday party took place in the adjoining restaurant (owned by the Hotel), the noise continued from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. which was unacceptable. The Hotel from the outside was lovely, as was its position within the locality. Sadly the poor amenities available did not make for a good holiday. The owners were absent and left any disputes to be dealt with by Waiters or Reception staff who had little or no control over the situation. Breakfast was limited and guests were left to make their own tea and coffees, when coffee jugs were empty. All inclusive was very poor with some elements e.g. afternoon cake and tea, simply not available. The poor level of cleanliness we experienced made for a disappointing holiday and the management really do need to ensure they have adequate staffing levels to ensure guests enjoy a stress free holiday within a clean environment.  Clearly the Kitchen staff were able to cope but other domestic staff were simply not in evidence and whilst we were there new staff were being interviewed. The management need to take greater responsibility and acknowledge that there are basic requirements of security, service and cleanliness that people expect as standard.  If these fundamental issues are addressed properly I am sure the hotel would be a nice place to return. However, on the weeks experience (28th August - 2nd September 2016) I would not recommend this Hotel unless there is considerable improvement.
