(Val) ...A lovely splurge in Hallstatt! With only a one night stay, we wanted to be situated right on the lake and the Grüner Baum provided us with a perfect location. Situated directly on the tiny, but vibrant Marktplatz, our room had a wonderful balcony overlooking the pristine lake. The view, in all directions, was magnificent. Our room was large with a wonderful bathroom. Actually, the room was in it's own "compound" consisting of a separate entry vestibule, from the main hall, and a companion "family room" next door. Upon registering, we were very warmly greeted, by name, from the owner... a lovely woman who was always smiling! The indoor restaurant was very nice, but we opted to eat outside at the great Biergarten, situated right on the water. Food was terrific, with fresh fish being the mainstay of the menu. We all loved this great, old hotel, with it's appropriately creaking floors and warm, inviting ambiance. Our twin room, with balcony, was 135€, including breakfast buffet. Paul and Patricia lucked out by getting the accompanying family room at 60€ with balcony. The only difference, in their room, was that their bathroom was located across the hall from their room, in our vestibule. No big deal for the savings!

(Sherry) ...Hotel Grüner Baum is in a perfect location on the lake and parking is just at the end of the block. Our directions weren’t very clear, so if you are arriving by car make sure to have exact directions. You have to drive into the pedestrian zone and the streets are pretty narrow. Our room (#101) was very large and had a nice balcony overlooking the lake. They provided complimentary snacks and bottled water in the room, along with basic toiletries. The only negative about the room was that there was no shower curtain around the tub, but I knew that ahead of time. The hotel puts out a nice breakfast with cheeses, sliced meats, fruit and cereal. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was one of the best meals of our trip. I would definitely stay here again.
