I could write an essay about the cōmodo and the way it exceeded my already pretty high expectations — I discovered it on Instagram last year before it opened, and decided to spend a few days in Austria this summer basically just to go there. First impressions go a long way, and on arrival the exceptionally friendly staff made us feel immediately welcome. These people really will accommodate any request you have, they're so good at their jobs. Special shoutout to the man on the reception desk (from Madrid) and the blonde lady working the breakfast shit who were really wonderful and so genuinely friendly. But let's rewind — the cōmodo is located up a steep hill quite a way from the train station (25-30 minutes walk), so if not arriving by car you might want to book a taxi. We walked and arrived pretty sweaty. But the upshot of that is that the views are *incredible*. If you have a room with a valley view like ours, you literally have a 180 panorama from your balcony and it's truly breathtaking, especially in the morning when the clouds roll over the Alps, and at night with the town below lit up. The vista alone is priceless. I was drawn to the cōmodo for its design aesthetic, which recreates plush 1970s living spaces with vintage sofas and warm mood lighting in the bar and reception. The attention to detail is pretty incredible. It's a great space to relax in. The restaurant is chic too, and the rooms really are fabulous, right down to the custom rugs (replicating the mountain scapes of Bad Gastein) and the green-tiled en-suites. The best compliment I can give it is that, having stayed in quite a few Alpine hotels this summer and last, the cōmodo is the only one in which I could happily spend an entire day without leaving. There's nothing clinical about it, relaxing there is effortless, the pool, gym and sauna have been constructed to the highest quality, the breakfast is sensational, the sundeck a seductive way to kill an afternoon.

Truly I didn't dislike anything at all. I heard from another guest that the hotel was quite understaffed, and the staff team was definitely slim but they kept everything running super smoothly throughout. The dinner menu is a bit slim at the minute with few vegetarian/vegan options, so maybe there's room for improvement there. But the staff were really accommodating in making a vegetarian pasta dish specifically for us, and the dinner prices are surprisingly reasonable.

The overall experience at Comodo was exceptional; from the facilities, the design of the hotel itself to the smallest detail, the attention to detail and the little gestures. A particular callout to the personnel at Comodo - everyone, from the people at the reception, the bar, to the people at the restaurant, was SO AMAZING, polite, friendly, and professional. This really made a difference in the whole experience. The food was super fresh and mostly organic. Really enjoyed everything.

Nice and modern vibe, liked the furniture, warm welcoming staff at the reception (especially the nice swedish lady), good selection and quality at the breakfast combined with a lovely view over the valley, tried 2 room types from which the valley views are the best.

Really poor lights in the bathroom = dark. Room w the mountain view means you are really next to the walk way and exposed in the bath tub and room overall unless you close the curtains. Book rather a valley view if you like privacy. Smoking is allowed on all balconies so either you keep the windows closed or get the smoke in your room. Tip: a designated area outdoor for smokers would be a better option like many alpine locations nowadays offer.

Breakfast was buffet style and additionally you can order egg dishes from the kitchen. The food is of a high standard, locally sourced. The dinner menu was small but excellent. They have a good winelist. Fantastic view into the valley. Great sauna, pool and sundeck.

Service is very mixed, clearly the restaurant team needs a lot more training. Everyone is very friendly and trying hard but not always succeeding. The food and beverage manager was excellent and very professional. The hotel just opened and need some finetuning. The outside could be more inviting, the rooms are nice but quite small.

A fantastic hotel with an excellent breakfast of fresh juices, ginger shots, very tasty bread and coffee. Very stylish swimming pool and reception area. And a delightful spa. Nearby, nature trails in various directions and a great opportunity to rent a bike directly at the hotel. I can't think of anything better. Quiet, peaceful and very beautiful.

The fact that you had to leave :(

Nice, stylish design hotel, recently opened, great vibe, morning yoga class, fantastic breakfast, restaurant with friendly staff. Small spa area with pool and 2 saunas. Free shuttle bus to Gastein ski station (twice a day)

Not a lot of direct sunlight in December, onsite parking expensive (no garage), no receptionist after 10pm, very small standard rooms, difficult to fit all the ski luggage and winter cloth. Our bed sheets were dirty so I had them changed, bathroom was clean. "The cómodo" sign on top of the hotel is very bright and does not fit in well into the landscape...

What a gem! The location is excellent, being a bit out of the town and right where some nice hiking routes start. Gives you the best view down on the town and during breakfast/dinner. The spa area is great and very inviting, always spot on clean. In addition there is a movie theatre (which you can also reserve for a night when there’s no movie showing) and a co-working area (I did not see the latter since I was there to relax only). The rooms (mine at least) are spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was excellent and an invitation to enjoy a long breakfast reading the paper - it’s from 7am til 11am, and you can sit and enjoy the breakfast buffet and coffee after coffee for as long as you wish. Dinner is also high quality, and worth the price. I was there solo for 6 nights and relaxation while being exhausted and I couldn’t have chosen a better place and accommodation.

The room did not have a kettle, but you can always ask for one (bring your hot water bottle!). In general whenever you are missing something just talk to the reception - they are extremely helpful and really go out of their way to make your stay perfect.

Design, room, location and view was perfect!

Hotel is beautiful and I would love to return, but there was just something a little off with service. More a feeling even. There seemed to be some lack of information among different staff members, when asked about some things I got different answers at reception depending on the person. They seemed very busy all the time, especially at the breakfast time. When approached everyone was nice, but it felt like you have to catch someone if wanted to ask a question. A little information to know and was important to us - there is no source of heating in rooms (towelrack or floor) in summer season. So if you go hiking and get wet or want to dry your swimsuit after the spa - it is not really an option.

This is nicely renovated hotel on the hill which is very cosy. Rooms have a spectacular view on the town and the valley. Beds are comfortable and duvets very soft and warm. There are two saunas and the pool, gym, yoga room and working/office room with small library! Breakfast has decent offer of produce, some of them local (nice smelly cheese!). It combines self service, and service for coffee and eggs. There is big storage room for skies which is approachable by car. We appreciateed electric charger for electric cars - very simple use, no fuss, just plug in plug out and go! The personnel is kind, but the most helpful is nice blond lady at the reception desk who had good advice for skiers and non skiers. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope will be able to come back again.

Our experience was spoiled with unpleasant smell in the hall at the third floor and we didn't see any effort to camouflage it before they managed to find rhe source of it. Also we have suggestions for electric kettle in the rooms, warmer water in the pool, vanity set in the bathroom (soaps, shampoo and body milk are nice!). Dinner needs to be served much faster since the menu is not too wide, and the guests are very hungry after skiing!

New and beautiful design hotel. Great decoration. Room is very comfortable and the Bluetooth speaker in the room very much appreciated. The views are great and the food very delicious. Good ambiance.

Sauna can only be used between 4-7pm. Very little amount of time for the space and amount of guests the hotel can accommodate. Maybe an idea to open it also in the morning so the guests who only come for the spa can also enjoy it while isn’t so busy. Pool is open all day however after everyone returned from skiing again to busy and loud. Not really nice that housekeeping just open the door from my room without even knocking exactly the moment I was changing. I just said No and door closed immediately. I booked all in via Booking however at check out dinner got again charged. Once we noticed that and told it at the reception we got what we had paid extra back.
