Apparthotel Samson

Obertauern

Great location - ski in ski out. Helpful friendly staff. Excellent buffet breakfast, with wonderful views. Spacious, clean room. Brilliant facilities - pool, jacuzzi & steam room. Secure ski storage. Already booked for 2026!

Excellent stay.

Staying at Landaus St Georg gives you the best of both worlds in Obertauern - A 4* hotel that sets you up for the day with a fantastic breakfast and a ski village with plenty of restaurants for the evening (and if you don't want to dine out, many restaurants will provide take out - hence perhaps the plates, cutlery, fridge in your room at St Georg)! The hotel bar is cosy with a laid back vibe and no more expensive than other bars in the village plus it has a selection of gin that we didn't find anywhere else in Obertauern! It does allow smoking (like all the other bars in Obertauern) but all other areas of the hotel were non-smoking. We didn't use the Spa during our stay so can't comment and we did have an issue with the boot room (someone kept moving our kit and on one occasion had clearly tried boots on before tossing them in a corner) but as the hotel have provided a great space with keycard entry this was clearly more to do with a rogue guest!  Unfortunately, we would also recommend locking your kit on the mountain - something we've never even thought about before in Austria - but don't let this minor point put you off this fantastic hotel and resort.

Best of both worlds

We stayed here for a week with Inghams - the package cost over £1000 for a week each - flights, transfers, accommodation, breakfast. We had a small apartment which meant we had a small living room - seating area (bench seating) and a small kitchen.  Very expensive we thought given this was essentially a self catering holiday.  Although the apartment was spotlessly clean, we wouldn't say it was particularly comfortable - lots of pine furniture and everything you needed but not very homely.  

The hotel's main selling point is its location which is SUPERB.  You are based at the foot of arguably the nicest blue run in Obertauern - simply cross a small road and ski to the bottom of the Edelweissbahn.  

You are also right opposite Obertauern's famous party venue - the Lurzer Alm!  This is a great place to end a day of skiing with a mug of hot gluhwein!  If the mood takes you, have a dance in your ski boots!

The hotel's communal areas are very nice.  The pool area is particularly good - the hot tub has a glass floor which looks down on to the pool below!   There is also a nice sauna and a large steam room - a chill out zone and communal showers too.

Breakfast was very nice but nothing special.  We ate out every night so didn't make use of our kitchen but, had we chosen to cook, everything we would have needed was there.

The hotel also has a small bar - far too small for the size of the complex we thought and several communal seating areas around the main reception.  Rather annoyingly, people could smoke pretty much anywhere... it would be much better if the management allocated a room for smoking which was seperated from the communal seating areas.  

On balance, we would stay here again because of the location but only if there were not any rooms available at the Alpenland or the Landhaus Panaorama.  The Alpenland has a segrated smoking area and a loverly wellness complex in the basement.  The Landhaus Panorama is lovely too - great food - but the wellness area is rather small.
