Mayrhofen hotels - Telegraph Note that the Penken gondola is 1km from the real centre, so "central" does not mean "close to lifts." You can stay at the White Lounge ice-hotel on Ahorn too. Elisabeth (www.elisabethhotel.com; +43 5285 6767) The only 5-star, slightly out of the centre. Zillertalerhof (www.zillertalerhof.at; +43 5285 62265) "Excellent food and service, great pool, sauna," said a reader last year. Central. Gutshof Zillertal (check price and book here) A 2011 reporter was delighted to have found this place on the southern outskirts, which offers 'almost-free' hire cars. Good meals, great deal. Pool, spa. Kramerwirt (www.kramerwirt.at; +43 5285 6700) Lovely hotel, oozing character, central. Strass (www.hotelstrass.com; +43 5285 6705) By the gondola. Lively bars, disco, wellness centre, pool; but big, with low marks for style. Neue Post (www.neue-post.at; +43 5285 62131) An old favourite, central. Sporthotel Manni (www.sporthotel-manni.com;+43 5285 63301) The main street halfway between the train station and the gondola. Tipped by a 2012 reporter for "large comfortable rooms, good steaks, excellent beer." There are plenty available; Landhaus Gasser (www.landhausgasser.com; +43 5285 63115) is central and was recommended by a 2012 reporter.
