Hotel Schwarzer Adler Kitzbühel - Adults Only

I am writing this with a degree of sadness. I travel to Kitzbühel for skiing regularly and have stayed in this hotel on 3 or 4 previous occasions. In the past it was a fantastic hotel. One longstanding minor irritation is that there is a loud piano bar and I requested a room away from the bar based on previous experiences when I made this booking several months ago. This request was ignored and I was given a room directly above the bar. I was forced to sleep wearing noise cancelling headphones to drown out the noise. The major problem, however was the restaurant, both the quality of food and the service. As the week progressed the food service deteriorated and on one day there was a wait of an hour between courses. On our last evening the only edible course was a bowl of soup. The main course and dessert were returned to the kitchen uneaten. We suggested that the cost of that meal should be deducted from the bill but this did not happen. We asked to speak to the manager who was not available. We then asked if they could contact us the following day which they did not do. On balance this was a great hotel in the past but is nowhere near to being a 4 star superior hotel now. I will visit Kitzbühel again but will stay in one of the many other hotels.

The rooftop swimming pool with the view is an hit. One not luxury moment: we asked to have a pooridge with oat milk or water (to replace the one with cow milk on the buffet/for allergy reasons). After 10 minutes, the waitress came back telling us that the cook doesn't want to prepare that for us.

Great stay in Kitzbuhel. Breakfast was one of the best for a small hotel, bar was lovely, and staff very helpful and friendly. We used both the rooftop pool and spa facilities which were a great bonus. Only issue we found was no air con or temp control in the room so we found it to be quite warm at night. Overall would recommend as close to the slopes and centre of town.
