“Relaxing, romantic break at the Vitaloase zu den drei Brüdern”

My husband and I have just visited the Vitaloase for four days. The owner picked us up from the train station in Bad Reichenhall, which cost 35 Euros one way, but it was handy, because it's difficult to reach the hotel with public transport. We stayed in the Romantikstadl, a kind of cabin with a very nice bathtub (light and sound effects) right next to the big bed - the toilet was in a separate room -, a walk-in closet, a little sitting area with a TV, and a fire place that could be started with a remote control. I really liked the Stadl, but I have to say that we had booked a special offer, so we got it cheaper than it usually is. Every Stadl has its own little terrace with deck chairs, a table, a wooden bench and a perfect view of the "Three Brothers" mountain :) We had a few games of ping pong and went for some little hikes, we especially liked the gorges ("Klamm"). During our stay, we got breakfast (8-10 am), an afternoon snack (2-4pm), and dinner (6-8 pm). The breakfast buffet was fantastic, the afternoon snack was sufficient to be our lunch and the dinner was good. There was a salad bar, two different kinds soup, a main course and a dessert. My husband was once disappointed by his choice of main course (Chicken) and we both didn't like one of the desserts, but otherwise we were very happy with the food. We also had a 7 course dinner on Friday night which was fantastic. In the spa area we had three special treatments: the Kaiserbad with hay flowers - which reminded me a lot of bathing with a tea bag, because the flowers were in a sort of huge tea bag. I really liked the over-sized tub and relaxing in the hay bed afterwards, my husband thought it was just ok. The second treatment was the "Sabbia med", relaxing on desert sand for half an hour. I would not recommend paying money for this, we didn't really see the point of it too much; maybe in the winter when you really need light it might be alright. I also found a lot of hair in there, obviously you can't vacuum a room of sand, but that was disgusting to me. Lastly, we both had 20 minutes back massage which we enjoyed a lot. To the spa area. For us, the outdoor swimming pool and the hot pool weren't heated on Thursday, but they were the other days. The bigger "pool" is actually a kind of swimming pond, so it seems to be free of chemicals. The spa area is small, but definitely large enough for the guests that fit in the hotel, at least it was never crowded while we were there. On weekdays it doesn't open until 2 pm, on the weekends at 11 am. As is customary in all German/Austrian spas, sauna visitors are expected to disrobe completely and shower before and after going into the sauna. If you aren't comfortable with this, then simply stay away from spas.

“A relaxing stay after an intense hike”

After a good 6 hour hike from Neue Traunsteiner Hutte, we arrived to Hotel Vitaloase zu den drei Bruden on the outskirts of Unken.

After a good 6 hour hike from Neue Traunsteiner Hutte, we arrived to Hotel Vitaloase zu den drei Bruden on the outskirts of Unken. The hotel was quiet, clean, comfy and provided a fantastic view of the mountains. The room was incredibly hot and we couldn’t open the window without being swarmed by mosquitos, so it would have been nice to have had some air conditioning. If you don’t have a car or bike, getting to Unken will take about 45 minutes by walking. There’s a bus 5 minutes from the hotel which will bring you there if you don’t fancy the walk, though. Breakfast was not included and we did not use any of their spa facilities (as we forgot our swimming gear). We did stop by the bar to buy a couple of coffees to bring back to our room which seemed a reasonable price.
