The staff was very friendly and always with a good attitude. They helped us to check in and settle quite fast and provided all information and support. They were very attentive to our needs. The view is another best thing there: both from the rooms and from the dinning area. SPA area is made in the way that there would be enough privacy for all the guests.

The rooms were small but reasonable enough, and had partial views of the mountains.
Located beside a shopping center, convenient to restaurants and grocery stores, in just about the heart of the city.
Breakfast was above average for Austria, and the Pongau Stube restaurant served seasonal fresh asparagus.

First of all, I am very thankful that I chose Hotel Lerch for your ski holiday. The position of the hotel is no doubt great. It takes just a few minutes to get to Skibus Station. The journey to Alpendorf takes up to ten minutes.
The meal was incredible. I have no complaints about service.

- Little Garden on the ground floor by the room (pity that it wasn't fenced but still a plus for a pet owner)
- dog friendly!

Perfect place for skiing, as it sits directly on slope. You can put ski on at hotels door and finish the day at the same place.
As usual in Austria, you will love the cuisine, restaurant is great. Room was good enough, no complaints about equipment, but i didn't expect anything above standard. Mattress was quite tough, i like that. The walls are maybe a little bit thin, you can hear a lot sometimes.
A pool with a sunbathing terrace is featured at Der Alpenblick, a 10-minute drive from Sankt Johann im Pongau. The guest house comes with a sauna and offers rooms with cable TV.
Wonderful location, clean rooms. Everything was fine.

We are from Colorado so it was similar to Breckenridge or other small mountain towns. There are plenty of hills in town so it was a great "walking exercise experience." There are plenty of grocery stores and cheaper than the US. The situation of the town is beautiful!

Great location for those who want to travel in the province of Salzburg. We went for a walk on Ghost Mountain (the cable car a few hundred meters from the hotel). We took a trip to the Lichtenstein Gorge - this place is a MUST! Its five-minute drive - during busy times in the summer, it's convenient because you can start the day there when it's not too busy and hot yet. The trip to other attractions and sites is also short and the hotel itself is very close to the highway for those who want to reach sites such as the salt mines in Hallein, Hohenwerfen Castle, Salzburg and more. The town of St. Johann im Pongau has many shops and the area has some good restaurants with local food.

The city has all what a tourist needs.
The city has all what a tourist needs. One may say typical Apline city, but has it's nice unique spots - for me: the old bridge neighbourhood (I'd say the old town). As it is located on a slope for me it's more pictureous than others located just in a valley.

Sank Johann was a very pretty town with a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. We were there for the Skiing so did not spend a lot of time in the town, or at some of the attractions. However I have been coming to Sank Johann in the winter since 2009 and have never been disappointed.
I have never visited in the summer but I can only assume that it will be also be an excellent base from which to explore the area.
Bus service is excellent and Salzburg is only 1hr 15 away. €11 by train and does not require you to change trains.

The mountains around St Johann im Pongau are wonderful, the town its self has changed a lot. It used to be the main place to stay for winter sports in the area, but this has slowly been superseded by Alpendorf where there are a number of modern hotels and apartments (often moderately expensive).
This has caused a lot of the change which includes many of the great bars and restaurants closing and being replaced by some modern residential buildings (most recently the Silbergasse which we all loved).
Of course, if you stay on the edge of town, or a little up the hill (as we did this time), then there are beautiful places to stay. The remaining Hotels like Alpenland, The Brückenwirt and the Lerch and others can also be highly reccomended. Recently, the local Hahnbaum chair lift (where we started skiing in the early 80s) was removed and not replaced. That used to be a great place to ski with the locals on a Sunday after a later night out at ski lovers bar (also long gone). A beginner's area with a T-Lift and Banana lift still exist on the Hahnbaum, but in general you will ski out of Alpendorf (5 minutes drive up the hill), or you just have a short drive to many of the other "Salzburger Skiwelt" areas such as Großarl and Hoch König to mention just 2 out of many.
The town has expanded somewhat over the years, on the plus side this gives plenty of scope for food shopping if you are staying in an apartment. It is a town that many (like us) still love as we have been visiting for so many years, and it is always great to see familiar faces when on a winter holiday. The local people have always been extremely welcoming and very friendly.
Some prefer Wagrain, which has retained its quaint mountain village / town atmosphere and not as crowded as Flachau. Close by is Kleinarl which is a perfect Family resort.
For us, St Johann was and still is the center of the Salzburger Ski Welt, and we will hopefully be regulars for many years to come.

Karin's house is a perfect place to stay in Alpendorf, enjoy the mountains and, of course, visit Liechtensteinsklamm (which is only 30 mins away) :) The location couldn't be better: lovely view from the balcony, the cable car and a large playground for kids only in a couple of minutes. The house owner is super friendly and always ready to help.
Thank you so much, Karin! ❤️
It's been an amazing short-term vacation. We'll definitely come back to visit this wonderful place 🙂
It was a great experience for our family. Everything was perfect. Breakfast and specially dinner menu was so tasty. Our two daughters had a great time with children play room, pony riding experience and take time with animals. The staff of hotel also was so kind. We recommend this hotel for family with children. Definitely we will planning come back for our next holiday.
Very modern and nice hotel, room was big and clean. Convenient lights and sockets everywhere. The owner and her dog are very kind and friendly. Breakfast was good, and coffee is superb! Although my room was facing main road, there was good soundproofing and I did not hear anything. It is conveniently close to the railway station. Good value for money.
Extremely cosy room (which was even nicer than on the photos), very spacious with a huge shared balcony to enjoy the most amazing view I have ever seen before. We really enjoyed that the Austrian feel was still maintained at the hotel. Breakfast was very nice too, and the host was very sweet and accommodating. We felt very much at home :)
Everything!! I had a free weekend to explore the Alpendorf area with my kids and was only seeking a place with a pool. We stumbled upon Edelweiss and I'm so glad we did!! Our apartment was impeccably clean, very comfortable, and well-equipped. It was the perfect space with all of the extra touches!! We'll definitely return!!
The breakfast was very varied, the spa facilities/pool are top notch and the ski bus stop is located right in front of the hotel. The fact that the ski passes could be purchased/printed at the hotel and that the ski/snowboard rentals could be made directly from the hotel as well are also big pluses.
The hotel is locates in a ski resort, so for the summer holidays it’s not the perfect ambiance.
The room was okay; it has everything you need, Wifi was working fine and a there was a balcony.
Breakfast was good, with enough to choose from.
the hotel is in good location, the view from the balcony is amazing, the bad and the pillows are great, the guy in the reception is nice, the breakfast was awesome and the coffee machine is great.
the hotel is new and designed beautifully.
Wonderful hotel! We loved the pools, playground, animals and the pony rides. The hotel is clean and beautiful with wonderful mountain views. The staff were very kind and we enjoyed the breakfast too. Highly recommend!
Wow what a place, fun drive up to this beauty of a hotel, staff, location and views are 2nd to none and will definitely be back especially in the winter to see the mountains full of snow
Highly recommended this place
The staff is perfect! We rented electric bicycles and they were superb, we had a wonderful afternoon in the mountains above the hotel. The room was spacious with wonderful balcony and bathroom.
The breakfast was very good. The beds are comfortable. Saunas are pleasant. Close to hotel start very interesting walking tours. There are two swimming pools. The rooms are spacy.
