Excellent for food, accomodation service and location.
Review of Hotel Willms
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Aug 2016
An extremely nice hotel placed in a very quiet location just five minutes from the centre of Kirschberg, 5 km from Kitzbuhel. Run by the family Willms who are the perfect hosts together with their excellent staff. They all create a family feeling for
all guests.
We were here for the second year running and will be back again next year.
The food is excellent, a very good buffet breakfast and wonderful 4-course dinner.
We have stayed at many hotels in the mountains of Austria, Italy, Germany and Slovenia the last 15 years - Willms is in the top two.with regrds to food.
Good faclities with an outdoor pool; nice to relax there in the afternoon after hiking
in the mountains. Nice relaxing area with sauna, Whirlpool, steambath etc.
The KitzAlps summer card gives access to 31 lifts and cable cars in the region opening great hiking area which suits all ages. Lots of activities for children at middle stations of some of the lifts making it ideal for families. Having Hotel Willms as your "home" base secures that you are guaranteed a wonderful holiday - we imagine
the same can be said for those staying with the Willms family in the winter season also.
Date of stay: August 2016

A TOTALLY SMOKE FREE HOTEL !!

YIPPEE ! YIPPEE !

On our last trip to the Willms, my one and only negative point was that smoking was permitted in the public areas

This has all changed

A notice at the front entrance advises all and sundry ,that this is a non smoking hotel

Apparently , all Austrian hotels , restaurants and bars will be compelled by law to ban smoking in 2017

However , the Willms family has decided to pre empt this sword of Damocles and has created an instant Tyrolean fresh air environment

During our stay ( we returned home 3 days ago ) there were only a few die hard Smokers , who quite cheerfully stood outside the hotel , when they wanted a " puff "

This has made a huge difference to the general atmosphere in this hotel

It must be remembered that , in common with most Austrian hotels , this is a small and cosy hotel and the bar , lounge , Stubn and restaurant areas were just not suited to being used by Smokers

As I said in my last review, this is a typical timbered small and traditional Tyrolean hotel with a beautiful log fire in the afternoons and evenings

It is run entirely by the Willms family who are in attendance 24 hours a day ; they ensure that every guest is perfectly looked after and has a memorable stay

During our stay , food was once again of the highest and imaginative standard , under the careful eye of Master chef , Ralph Willms

We have stayed in many hotels in Austria , where the food has been beyond reproach

However , we are both decided that the food here is the best of all the ones where we have stayed

We previously stayed here in a front room , with balcony and opted for the same again , as we love the completely open views of the snowy fields and the deep forests opposite ; from our bedroom windows , there was only nature for us to look and only nature could look in at us ; we left our curtains open all the time , as it was wonderful to look at the moonlight over the snowy scene

Rooms on the other side are equally large and also have excellent views towards the ski slopes , the forests and the mountains

There really is very little more I can say , which I did not write about in my last review

This is an exceptional small hotel which continues to offer the most wonderful and relaxing holidays whilst maintaining very low prices

We are actually planning 2 more trips this winter to the Willms as the snow and skiing in this area is perfect for the whole season

Room tip: All rooms are a good size with pleasant Tyrolean views

An expertly family-run B&B that feels like a professional hotel. The Willms family really put in much effort in making the guests comfortable and feel welcomed. Bed rooms are not modern but has an old world charm of wood cabins, and everything was very comfortable so no complaints! Easy drive to Kitzbuhel and has a small parking lot in the back. Would definitely return if I ever come back to this region for skiing.

Great family-run hotel, only 5 mins drive from Kitzbuhel. Good location for mountain lifts and hiking in the summer. But what really made our week-long stay such a wonderful experience is the friendly first-class service and atmosphere from the Willms family and their staff plus excellent food, both at breakfast and especially the dinners which were like gourmet dinners.
After a day's hiking it was good to come back in the afternoons and relax by the outdoor pool.
We will sure be back, maybe even later this year, but certainly next summer.

We have just returned from a 4 week Xmas and New Year stay at this lovely little Alpine hotel

It is perfectly situated on a slight rise, virtually in the village centre , yet it has beautiful unrestricted views to the wonderful scenery around

This is a family run hotel and thus , everything runs to perfection and nothing but nothing , is too much trouble for the hosts

Breakfasts are plentiful in a typical Austrian buffet fashion ; there is a huge choice of cereals, nuts ,fresh fruits , yoghourts, honeys, jams, cheeses, cold meats to die for, breads of every type and a hot plate of delicious scrambled eggs and extremely tasty local bacon

Dinners are something special at this hotel !!!

The chef , who is one of the Owners, takes great pride in his daily gastronomical offerings with a never ending change of mouth watering menus

During our 4 weeks of residence, we did not have one single repeat meal !

Each day , there is a 4 course dinner with a selection of 3 dishes for the main course ; at the end of our second week we were obliged to ask for slightly smaller portions as these main dishes were simply so large !!

Rooms in this hotel are of a good size and spotlessly maintained with fresh towels and bed linen as often as one wished

We had chosen our room , in advance , on a previous visit to Kirchberg ( to a different hotel )

Our room was very warm and quite ample for the two of us and had a small sitting area with armchairs and a small table ( with an attractive tablecloth )

The whole of the room was timber ( walls and the ceiling ) and had quaint traditional latticed wooden windows and a latticed door to the large ( timber ) balcony

The view from our room was spectacular as we could gaze out at an uninterrupted view of a snowy field ( with a cow barn ) and the snowy covered pine forest with the snowy peaks beyond

Quite simply, we could have been staying in a private chalet ; it was so peaceful and we kept our curtains open 24 hours as the view outside was total nature

Views from the rooms on our side of the hotel were all similar and the rooms on the other side had equally stunning views of the village and the ski slopes beyond

Each afternoon, we relaxed in the hotel`s Wellness area

This was one of the best we have encountered in Austria

It is modern , sparkling clean and is filled with dreamy therapeutic aromas ; there is a Sauna, Steam Room, Jacuzzi ,Infra Red cabin ( a boon after a day on the slopes ) and various relaxing areas

This hotel also offers a traditional Log Fire in the dining room ; however , as in most village hotels, it can only be lit when the outside temperature is less than minus 4 , as otherwise it does not draw properly and the room would fill up with choking wood smoke

Fortunately , the weather was kind to us and we had several nights of temperatures around minus 6 so we were able to enjoy the beauty of the Log Fire

Despite its stunning , uninterrupted country views , this hotel is only a short 5 minute stroll to the ski bus stops , which go in both directions to the relevant ski lifts

One could actually walk briskly for 20 minutes to the Maerli lift , which is one of the main lifts

Skiing here in Kirchberg , is brilliant for Intermediates ( as we are proud to be ) or for Black Run `adrenaline junkies `

The slopes behind Kirchberg are shared with those of Kitzbuehel and all the pistes and lifts are inter connecting ; thus , if you are fit enough , you could probably ski from the first lift up ( 8.30 am ) to the last run down ( around 5 pm ) and literally ski across the mountains without going twice down the same piste !!

Many of the Austrian resorts suffered badly from the lack of snow , during our Xmas New Year stay and their guests were obliged to travel huge distances , each day, in order to ski

Fortunately , the higher slopes at Kirchberg are in a weather condition , which provides adequate snowfalls whilst others around receive very little

Thus we were able to enjoy our daily skiing ( generally until midday ) throughout the whole of our vacation

This hotel is also a perfect spot for Ski beginners as the main Ski slope ( very gentle ) for the Kirchberg Ski School is directly outside the hotel`s front door

Why do we choose Kirchberg ?

We have stayed in many other ski resorts but there is a real charm about Kirchberg ; this was our 7 th visit to Kirchberg but our first to the Willms

Everybody knows everybody in this village ; this person is married to someone`s brother who went to school with the Postmaster`s wife who is the sister of the baker whose son`s Gasthof is where you could be having an afternoon Hot Chocolate and Strudel ........and so on and son

Another endearing quality of Kirchberg is that there is no crime !!

Yes , no crime !

The 2 local village police officers ( with their shiny uniforms and sparkly clean police car ) do a daily village tour to collect the Arrivals documents from the hotels and Gasthofs ; en route they check that everything is `Tikkety Boo ` in their village and that all the local customs are being adhered to

Then they retire to their little police station which has extremely healthy looking potted plants in the windows

The whole immaculate village with its perfect bus timetables and Public Servants in their crispy clean suits and hats and villagers going about their routines in traditional costumes, reminds me strongly of Enid Blyton`s charming books about Noddy In Toyland

I often wondered what would happen if someone left a bag of rubbish in the main square !!!

Now that would be a crime !

I could well see a complete turnout of the Mayor , The Fire Brigade , the Police Chief and every single village official !!!

So, to sum up on the Willms hotel : it is an excellent small hotel , where the owners pride themselves in keeping to the highest standards in every way

I should add that the majority of guests are either German or Dutch and are the most polite , quiet and well mannered one could hope for

My only one niggle with this hotel is that they still have not adopted a No Smoking policy

Smoking is still permitted in the public areas and the bar area which is in the Dining room ; this can be annoying and unpleasant at times ( although there is a hotel rule that smoking is not permitted in the Dining room from 6 until 9 pm )

However , as the majority of the guests are professional persons , there are very few who still want " to light up "

I can thoroughly recommend this hotel to persons and families of all ages

We stayed in this hotel on a skiing trip. Willms is a very well run family hotel, with many regular German guests. The service is excellent, friendly and helpful staff, the food is really good, restaurant service is super. However our room was really small and in need of redecoration. If you intend to keep your skiing gear in the hotel be aware of the walking up the hill on the way back from a ski bus. We used to leave it in the Rossignol pure mountain rent, which one should avoid, we had a bad experience there. Overall Kirchberg was somewhat a disappointment: crowds of drunken noisy Dutch, lots of traffic. But the hotel is in a quiet spot, we never had any disturbances at night. It's a fairy good choice of an accomodation, not sure about Kirchberg itself though.
