Zell am See is a town on the route of the Transalpin train.
Zell am See is a town on the route of the Transalpin train. We stayed for one night before our journey across the alps to Zurich. If you don't ski, there is little to do in town when it's cold outside besides a stroll along the beautiful lake and a visit to shops and restaurants. One 24-hour period was enough for us to see and do everything. The location of the train station made this a very easy place to visit.

Zell am See didn't have the quaint alps village feel at all, more like a regular large town, the high street was very disappointing.
The scenery of the lake and mountains was breath taking. Simply beautiful.
Snow for skiing in Feb 24 was absolutely awful given the low altitude! A lot of mud patches on the lower runs rendering them unusable. I would consider elsewhere for skiing option tbh. The ski resort was small and good for beginners/families primarily.
I felt very safe walking around the town.

We loved Zell am See.
We loved Zell am See. From the ease of getting here (the train from Salzburg is clean, quick and on time), to the scenery, beautiful town and great people. Everyone was pleasant to deal with, the facilities are excellent (although watch out for the supermarkets closing early compared to the UK) and the skiing is brilliant. Lift queues were generally short. However, as expected, everything is expensive!

What I like the most: Friendly staff, free use of washing machine and dryer at the lobby, underground garage, spacious living room and fully equipped kitchen, near the lake for a leisure walk and near to town and near to a lot of ski lifts and cable car to Schmittenhöhe
What I don like: nothing. Just be sure not to have a late check in so that you can seek for help before the reception close

Zell am See is truly beautiful.
Zell am See is truly beautiful. We had an amazing week of skiing with an excellent ski guide (Thomas Hager, https://www.alpin-guide.com/eng/), who added so much to our ski holiday experience. The town of Zell am See has an array of great restaurants, bars and shops. We travelled over the Christmas period and the place was festive with lots of Christmas spirit in the air! We would highly recommend a trip to Zell am See.

Zell am See is a proper small town with a lovely pedestrian...
Zell am See is a proper small town with a lovely pedestrian zone and not just a ski resort. It is located on one side of a beautiful lake, surrounded by mountains. There's a good choice of places to eat and drink and I particularly like the Gin House and Steinerwirt. I get the sense it's quite a good place for a mixed group of those who ski/snowboard and those who don't, but it's particularly good for skiers as there are several lift options from and around the town, so wherever you stay you'll probably be close to one of the base lifts. Accommodation on the hill just above the town will have great views and, provided you leave your equipment at a base station or have a car, the walk is quite pleasant.
We had a great break in Zell Am See and the hotel Gruner Baum was the perfect base for us to explore the stunning views of the surrounding area. Everything about the hotel was fantastic, we stayed in room 140 which was modern, clean and extremely comfortable with a great view from the balcony. The breakfast was exceptional and catered for all nationalities, every member of staff was friendly and helpful and the little bar in the 2nd building was a great place for an evening drink with a lively atmosphere and welcoming young barman
Cozy hotel , very very good location ( 3 min by walk from the lake ). Freeee private parking on spot( very important in Zell am See ).
Wonderful and tasty breakfast in the morning.
Free update to a bigger room with balcony ( thank you very much for that ).
Hans , the owner and his charming wife will make everything for you to feel home. After checking out we even received a small souvenir from Hotel 🏨.
Thank you very much for everything , for sure we shall come back.
Me and my wife enjoyed a lot the stay at the Hotel Landhaus Zell am See, the staff is very kind and attended our requests and have a very good english level.
The place offers great value for the price including the region's summer card and breakfast and for an extra there is a nice dinner menu at night which we recommend.
The rooms are tidy and comfortable and offered all that was necessary for our stay.
Free parking in the hotel.
We travelled by train so being able to walk to the hotel from the train station was nice. Breakfast every morning was great. Decent selection of hot and cold items. The hotel provided the Zell am See summer card which allowed entrance free of charge to many local attractions, and discounts at many others. It also allowed use of local public transportation. For us this was a huge bonus. All of our activities while in town were free!!
We had an excellent time at this hotel. Super clean, right in the centre of Zell am See. They provide bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast was really good. They can also cook a la carte omlettes with different fillings and fried eggs. There is a rooftop bar with amazing views over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Would definitely book again. We chose to stay here because we drove on Grossglockner road the next day.
Excellent staff, VERY friendly and nice. Check-in was fast and smooth. Excellent location and views of the lake. Right on the lake front side, which is amazing.
It is nearby everything you need from the shopping area to the city attractions. The room is well maintained and clean. I was given car parking, which is a big advantage. I really enjoyed my stay. I can't think of anything that I didn't like.
The place is - wow! Beautiful location, wonderful facilities, great hosts, exceptional architecture! Although the hotel is not right on the lakeside - it has its own beach with private access for guests - 3 min walking distance. The hotel is on the opposite side of the lake from the town of Zell am See - close enough to drive to downtown and far enough away from its crowds.
The staffers were all extremely pleasant, very friendly, always willing to help and to attend our needs. Clearly, the friendliest place we have been so far in Austria, for 8 years of living here. As non German speaking people, we were also always spoken to in bery good English. We give 5 stars to Dahoam by Sabrina and wish them the best.
best place in town. Very cozy hotel with a great atmosphere. The host couple were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hotel is well centrally located right close to the center and right next to the ski lift. When we return to Zell am See, we will definitely choose this hotel. From Pia and Knud - Denmark
I loved the design of the furniture, it has different styles than other hotels/appatments. The staff were so friendly, especially Mr. Alex and Mis. Mara, They did breakfast for us and dinner and the service is fabulous!
The bar on the third floor has an amazing view the leak of Zell am See
The location is very good.
The train station is near by and it is a walking distance.
The are restaurants near the hotel in the old town and some grossary shops.
The Kapron Zell am see card that was given to me from reception was very usefull to use for transportation and saved money
Marco and his wife were wonderful hosts. They made us feel at home. The hotel itself was very beautiful and we had a great view of the mountains. It was always so well maintained and the breakfast was also delicious and fresh! Would definitely recommend to anyone staying at Zell am see.
Hotel location, staff hospitality, specious room with amazing location. breakfast buffet was indeed outstanding and exceptional.
