On a good note there is a great drying area, also a washing machine too which you can use for a small donation.

If you are looking for a holiday away from the usual touristy areas then give this a try.

Willem knows the area well and can point you in the right direction.

To gethe best out of your stay Willem will make up routes downloadable to Garmin/Tom-Tom which show off the local area customised to take in the things you want to see.

The roads around this area are a paradise for bikers, the hotel offers set routes that they are happy to load onto your satnav (gpx file enabled) or they have adapted a mixture of routes to suit our needs.

The roads and scenery in the surrounding area are outstanding, making this hotel a perfect base for biking holidays.

Had initially found about of this location some time ago at the NEC bike show and used it as a base to visit the surrounding area.

(English owners too)

Nothing to much trouble including motorbike repairs, sat nav routes and owners have a great knowledge of the area.

The hotel has an underground garage area for around 10-15 bikes and a large drying room, with the washing facilities its ideal for bikers to travel a bit lighter on the luggage.

but was clean, unlike the bar & dining areas across the road which we shared with the innumerable dead flies on the windowsills.

Things to see in the area: the Helmut Pfeifhofer Porsche Automuseum, a privately owned and operated museum in Gmünd in Kärnten, the Porsche Werk just a few kilometers up the road from Gmünd in Kärnten where it all started post war, and of course, the Malta Hochalmstrasse to the dam at the top.

All the staff are incredibly friendly and John the hotel owner and fellow biker is superbly knowledgable about the area.

The area has lots to do and the Karnten card provided when you arrive will save you a fortune !

We stayed here for 5 nights and found the owners knowledge of the area very useful.

The hotel is set close to some of the best roads and scenery in Austria with easy access to Slovenia & Italy so no shortage of things to do from this great base, add in Johns extensive knowledge of the area and roads and your in bikers / drivers/ walkers heaven.

Three of us booked a five night stay with our bikes to tour the surrounding area.

This is a great place to stay in a wonderful area.

A well equipped service area is provided.

Parking, we were asked if we would like to park in the downstairs garage, at no extra cost,

When I arrived, John offered a complimentary beer, and as a joke, I asked for a Guinness instead of the usual Austrian Stiegl.

Just to be sure I asked another guest to take a look & they agreed with me.

( No Television or Coffee making Facilities)
One of our friends asked management to change the towels on the second day as they were wet and she was told a simple NO!

Breakfast was good, a few choices, fresh rolls from the bakery next door, we had a few evening meals which were good and reasonably priced.

Food was very good and room was clean and comfortable.

Dinner was good and plentiful and we then spent a while stargazing, the night sky here is amazing, so good that it’s difficult to make out the constellations.

The nearest town is Gmund (about 4 km away) which also has numerous restaurants and a very interesting Porsche museum.

second stay here with new owners will and vonn who are old freinds the new bar diner is brilliant and as is the terrace-would never get tired of the veiws excellant location and great beer and food good base for exploring the nocamstrasse and grossglockner (not good spelling!)

Great food, beer, the location is just fantastic with super views.

Rooms are simple like all Austrian hotels, food is excellent and they will do all they can to cater for a fussy person (me) .. Attentive staff

Walker, climber, hiker, cyclist or just plain old drinker who wants to sit in the beer garden staring at the wonderful view, everyone is welcomed with open arms!

Instead were given a warm welcome from the owners and staff and a hearty meal with some fantastic pints of Guinness.

It's great to have a meal & beers with other like minded bikers as you'll find a few staying at this mecca.

The food was great, we were on a half board option and couldn't fault the variety, quantity or quality.

Food was delicious and varied, staff very helpful.Our sad moment was leaving,,,, this couple make the place work, and want you to enjoy it as much as possible.Willem,Yvonne thank you for looking after us so well, we will return to see Malta, again and you both to.Our very best wishes to you both, you have a fantastic Hotel. Xxxxxxxx

Great roads,good food, good rooms, good staff.

Food was very good and the Guiness was excellant.

Their excellent hospitality didn't stop there; the evening meals were excellent and the cold beer was always on hand, great in the sun on the patio area.

For very little money you car stay here HALF BOARD and you can chose your evening meal, from a small selection, and when you want it.

The food all week was good, some of our group had varying opinions

Nice cold beer the evening meals ok, the staff lovely people, the down loading of maps onto sat navs helpful the help given to others in our large group very good when they needed help.The shower in my room was good I was on the top floor furthest away from the hot water sauce still plenty of water pressure and hot.The rooms are ok

Food is ok at best and the hosts while quite nice seem to operate a  " my way or no way " establishment ( their premises so their rules I guess).

The room was immaculately clean, the bed comfortable and when you turned the lights out you really couldn’t see your own hand in front of your face!

The Gasthof rooms are immaculate, spacious and with indoor and outdoor parking, a drying room and washing facilities it is the ideal location to begin, end or stay for a European bike trip.

Our room was spotless, comfortable and had great views.

"We liked the clean room and the friendly, hospitable staff and atmosphere."

Loved our stay at the Hochalmspitze so much we came back for another few nights on our European tour.

We’d ridden from the UK in two days and had covered just over a thousand miles and we asked Willem if he could recommend a nice route for us to ride that wasn’t hundreds of miles and he gave us a corker of a ride, around 180 km of the best roads you’ll ever ride and even uploaded the route to my GPS.

Will is also a motorcyclist and can download around sixty routes onto your sat-nav for days out.

We were given excellent advice by Willem re the best route to lake Bled .Fantastic location and views from room and so helpful staff

Ktm 1190 super Terene

The house keeper had our beds made whilst we ate breakfast which was a nice touch and then Willem and Wilf prepared us a route for both days we had ride outs from the hotel.

We stayed for 5 nights and the team at Gastof Hochalmspitze were extremely helpful, particularly with ride routes and downloads to our sat nav.

John has many great routes for your sat-nav and listens to you so he can guide you to choose routes most suited to you or your group.

We made full use of the sat nav routes available.

By utilising Johns local knowledge and his very usefule route guides, we got to see and ride some fantastic roads with scenery overload.

John was happy to load all the road maps and motorbike routes onto the sat-navs and willing to provide plenty of local knowledge.

but OK.  Vegetarian option was pasta, every night, so disappointing,  there are more varieties of vegetables than meat after-all, 

Staff were friendly and John was especially helpful, providing trip advice and loading sat-nav routes.

John seems to spend all day loading routes onto guests sat maps and he even seems to enjoy it.

Booked three nights as part of our tour, purely on the reputation we had heard about Hochalmspitze and it certainly lived up to the hype.

I stayed there while on my 2013 Alps motorcycle tour, my 19th year in a row touring Europe and the Alps.

He's always available to give advice on routes to take and places to visit if you've not ready planned your itinerary.

It was a excellent location for Motorbikers and the planned routes that we traveled on come highly recommend for anybody staying there.

While there our maps were updated and each day John helped programme in our routes.

Rooms are basic, décor, linen, and towels very much in the 1970's Blackpool B&B mold,

however none of the towels had been changed, just hung up.

And she was asked by the owner (the same rude chef:) "you wouldn't change the towels that often at home, now would you?"!

as for the towels if you read the notice on the bathroom wall is says if you want the towels to be changed please leave them on the floor which in my experience is standard practice across the board these days.

The accommodation also was sub-standard with tired worn bedding supplied and also hard Towels!

overpriced for what was very basic accommodation.scratchy bedclothes towels not changed for days, crappy food and a patronising ,overbearing host who made us feel we were causing a huge inconvenience by being there.he ruffled the feathers of everyone in our party in our stay.We are all professional people made to feel like a bunch of undesirables.We were booked in for 5 nights

Room 439 was so clean , so bright and so overly comfortable that it was one of the few times that we wished that we could stay for another day .

Comfy beds, nice clean rooms and the breakfast was awesome, I can see why people would come for a long chill out weekend here.

The rooms are very clean and it is very quiet in the mountains so it is great for a good nights sleep.

Apartment clean and very nice, great view of the lake, good breakfast, perfect service, very helpful staff.

We had a very nice time with a great view of the lake, a large terrace, friendly staff, delicious breakfast .

Friendly and helpful staff; cosy, spacious and clean room; delicious breakfast; fantastic views over Millstaetter See; large and well kept gardens with amazing amount of flowers; privat beach; giant trampoline; bycicle hire; supermarket and restaurants nearby, free parking.

We felt the 'zen' moment especially during breakfast at  our  veranda with the beautifull view on the lake.

We just liked the place - room: nice and cosy, breakfast: delicious, view: great, lake: refreshing - road: attention and a bit annoying - very friendly staff, family atmosphere .

We had a small fairly large terrace to enjoy coffee and breakfast in the morning and enjoy the views.

The breakfast buffet has everything you need and is kept constantly replenished.

The room was very clean and had everything we needed.

however, that my room was clean, the view was excellent and the owners are lovely.

You can see the lake and hab enjoy the View ans the blue Water.

About 60 sqm, great view to the lake and when she showed us around our apartments she said: "Will we see you for a swim?!". .

we have enjoyed thw view ans that was it.

Millstatt itself is also like a building site and some of the places I used to like to eat at have now gone- eating in the apartment would be great as the views are so lovely

Perfect location and a very beatifull view on the lake Millstatt.

The apartments have great views ours at the top of the main house had small side balconies off the bedrtooms and a wonderful large front balcony with a table and comfortable seating for 6.

Overall good location with 1 minute walk to the lake.

It is 'only' B&B - so we had to walk a few kilometers to the nearby town of Millstatt.
