Hotel Erika

A charming family run hotel. The room was spacious and very clean, with modern fittings. The restaurant serves good traditional Austrian cuisine in hearty portions. Helpful friendly staff.

The hotel facilities are without compare - the room was enormous and it was well cleaned. The sauna and swimming pool were an unexpected extra that I could appreciate. The location - right next to the bus stop headed for the village as well as the slopes - impeccable. I have but one point of critique, and that is one that applies to all of Austria. When I come to breakfast a minute early, or a minute late, I am barred from entering. That part of the hospitality business can definitely be improved upon. Other than that, my stay was above and beyond expectation.

We came from Innsbruck and took a train that stopped in Landeck, Austria, and from there we took a bus to Martina, Switzerland then another bus to Nauders. The entire trip took 2 and a half hours. The bus to Nauders dropped us off within a 2 min walk from the hotel. Nauders is a small town and the hotel is very close to it. There's a grocery store very close by and other restaurants if you don't want to eat at the hotel everyday. We had a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant outside, they serve the tipical Austrian fare. The room was spacious and with a balcony shared by other guests in adjacent rooms. The sauna and indoor pool were great. Breakfast was plentiful with great choices of bread, fruits, yogurt, etc. We came to Nauders in the Summer to start a one-week supported bike tour from Nauders, Austria to Riva del Garda, Italy along the Adige River. We picked up our rental bikes at the Donau Turistik location in Nauders. The hotel has a great bike garage, but if you have a car, parking is free. Wifi was ok. Nauders is very close to both Italian and Swiss borders. We walked on beautiful nearby hiking trails with great views of Nauders. You can also take a gondola up to the mountain if you prefer. The Reschensee lake (in Italy) is not too far from Nauders and offers beautiful views of an alpine lake with the bell tower of a submerged church.

We arrived as the restaurant was closing but the owner accommodated us and we had a four course meal including a welcome drink. The rooms were of ample size, even with our skis etc' and are well heated. We slept with the window open. The ski store and drying room is in the basement and is excellent. You simply put your ski boots on, walk up the steps and the ski bus stops right outside. You are also the first pickup so you can get a seat. The food was absolutely fantastic. A 4 or 5 course meal each night which was served to you. There was a variation of courses through the week all to a high standard. The breakfast was continental which suited us all, again with a great variety to choose from. There was plenty of tea's and coffee's to choose from too. The bar area was very quit most of the time, but it is only a couple of minutes to walk into the town if you want something a bit more lively. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in the area especially when Italy and Switzerland are just up the road. You can use it as a base for skiing, walking, mountaineering, mountain biking and much more.

The hotel has all the facilities needed to be a very good hotel. Rooms are clean and nice. Bus stop in front of the hotel but also possibility to ski all the way to the hotel. We were with a group of people and missed a little fun in the evenings. It is not a hotel where you want to spend a lot of time in the bar.
