Goldene Rose Karthaus

The food was rather over fancy for us but always interesting and appetising and occasionally brilliant - the lamb cutlets will live on in my memory! Alex the sommelier was ever present and knowledgable not only on wine but on many subjects! We did a wine tasting with him and saw the wine cellar of the hotel which was expansive and immaculate. The rooms were pristine and very comfortable - with maids coming to turn down the room twice a day with fresh linen every night. My elderly parents were beautifully looked after - nothing was too much trouble - from making us a lovely packed lunch for the onward journey, to creating a special itinerary of local attractions that would be suitable for us. The sauna and whirlpool were equally beautifully looked after. All in all a high quality experience. Thanks so much to every member of the team.

Our stay at this hotel was the opposite of relaxing and peaceful. My husband and I were disturbed to find two men with professional cameras taking pictures immediately outside of our, and other guests’, bathroom and bedroom windows at 8 o’clock in the morning. These photographers, who we later discovered were working for the owners, were clearly visible through the net curtains provided by the hotel as the only screening to the Junior Suite’s floor-to-ceiling bathroom windows. The owners, the Grüners, failed to either recognise the gravity of the situation or deal with it in any meaningful or sincere way. We reluctantly remained at the hotel for the duration of our booking, but only because we were part of a larger party.

What a serene and pleasant stay we had at the Goldene Rose in Karthaus. Everything was wonderful and we were extremely well taken care of by the Grüners and their excellent staff. The facilities and food were top notch and the Goldene Rose and the valley are now one of my favorite places on Earth! The only thing I could've asked for more of was time there! I will certainly be back to enjoy more of the tranquility on offer! I can absolutely recommend the sharing menu as excellent and an incredible value and the pairings by Aleksander were phenomenal!

If heaven is a place on earth, I think we may have found it !!!! The Golden Rose sits within the most beautiful surroundings, peaceful, tranquil and incredibly picturesque. The hotel boasts fabulous amenities, outdoor hot tub and whirlpool, saunas and gorgeous glass fronted rooms to sit in and just relax after using the amenities, no details were overlooked, citrus flavoured water to help you rehydrate, a fire in the centre of the room, making it cozy. Our room was amazing, clean, spacious with a very comfortable bed , evening turndown service. Our suite also had a private sauna and a balcony which looked out into the mountains. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel each day of our stay and the food was superb. I would definitely recommend the sharing platter, with the paired wine tasting. As if all of that isn't a reason to visit ...the staff, from reception to room service and everything in between, they were phenomenal. Always smiling and chatty, no ask was too much. Each of them seemed to genuinely like their job and made us feel so welcome that we didn't want to leave. Alex and Johanna thank you for your recommendations each evening. From the personalised welcome note to the goodbye, we felt pampered and relaxed from the moment we got out of the car. Thank you all and well done on creating such a haven.

This was our second holiday here. Returning to a place you have visited previously and found excellent is always a slightly nervous experience as expectations are high and disappointments easy. However, it is still excellent. The food in particular is of a very high standard, and more of the style you would expect in a restaurant with culinary ambitions.

We stayed for four nights with my assistance dog and it was honestly the most perfect experience. The staff are simply the kindest, loveliest people. From the reception to the restaurant, to the housekeeping and bar nothing was too much trouble. The food was wonderful - some of the best vegetarian food we have ever had. The rooms are gorgeous, spotlessly clean and super comfortable. The setting is incredible. Karthaus is serene and beautiful. We are returning next year (and we never go back to places we have stayed in). I cannot praise this hotel highly enough. It shimmers in my memory. Thank you to all the wonderful people at the Goldene Rose who make the hotel such an incredibly special place.
