Das Ronacher - Thermal Spa Hotel

Das Ronacher is one of our summer and winter holiday destinations for many years. "Sommerfrische" summer escape, is something one have to do in July with all the hospitality approaches you get in this hotel. Exquisite kitchen, is as well one of very important things, which leeds to decision to stay in this hotel.

A wonderful hotel, exceptional cuisine, incredible conditions. We visited Das Ronacher for New Year Eve 2023 and had an unforgettable holiday. Everything in the hotel is of a very high standard, and Mrs. Ronacher gives personal attention to each and every guest. The musical evenings create a wonderful atmosphere in the bar. I am giving this hotel the highest rating and will be happy to return.

The hotel is first rate. It is in a great location, it is sparkling clean, offers fantastic food and supreme service. It is a super place to relax and unwind and we enjoyed it. But there are a few things you should be aware of, although quite acceptable by the locals we ‘merikans might not be used to. The highly advertised healing thermal water pools along with the special saunas (one of the reasons why I booked this hotel) are in a separate area to be enjoyed only by the “Nature lovers” (read nudists). For shy people like me and my wife it is off limits. The hotel is not air conditioned. This part of Austria is usually cool even in the summer but with the global warming upon us this is no longer the case. The day we arrived the outside temperature was 33.5C (93F). On our room balcony it was 32C (90F) and the room was uncomfortably warm. The outside cools down at night so sleeping with the door wide open is a must. Another problem is that the only cover on the bed is the very warm goose-down comforter. My solution was to strip the comforter and use only the comforter cover as the cover up. And finally, the TV has nearly 150 channels but the only station in English is the French news channel.

The only hotel in the world in which I stayed and had to pay more for my 9y old daughter and myself than I would pay for two adults. After getting an answer to my question how comes: because it is like that all other rates got irrelevant. They so easily became destination I’ll not revisit.

Dies war unser erster Aufenthalt im Ronacher auf einer Rückfahrt aus Italien. Bad Kleikirchheim ist zwar ganz auf den Winter-Tourismus fokussiert, aber bietet auch im Sommer einige schöne Wanderwege. Das Hotel besticht durch wirklich hochwertige Kulinarik (Kompliment an die Küche!), einen aufmerksamen Service und einen schönen Wellnessbereich. Alles ist gut organisiert und die großzügigen Frühstückszeiten kommen auch Langschläfern entgegen. Die Chefin Simone Ronacher kümmert sich rührend um ihre Gäste und ist immer präsent. Der einzige Kritikpunkt ist das Fitnessstudio: die Geräte sind nicht einfach zu bedienen und man benötigt eine gesonderte Einweisung, hier wären zeitgemässere Kraftmaschinen besser. Außerdem haben wir ein Aktivitätsprogramm mit Fitness- oder Yoga Stunden vermisst!

Siamo rientrati ieri sera dopo tre giorni in questo hotel. Tutto perfetto: dalla cucina di qualità, alla profonda pulizia ed igiene di ogni ambiente. Nonostante l'hotel sia grande ci siamo sentiti davvero come parte di una famiglia, oggi cosa assai rara. Il personale, tutto, nessuno escluso, molto gentile. Grande simpatia e grande empatia da parte di tutti. Ottima anche l'idea di non utilizzare il cellulare al ristorante. Ci torneremo sicuramente. Grazie a tutta la famiglia Ronacher! Un grazie particolare a Christian che ci ha sopportati ed ha risposto alle mie numerose domande e grazie anche alle ragazze della sala ristorante.
