All-Inclusive Stays in Ischgl

I could not have anticipated how great a stay my adult daughter (19) and I would have for our 8 nights at Alpenresidenz Ballunspitze. We had two single rooms, which we quite spacious with bed, desk, bathroom and two separate areas for clothes. The rooms were either recently renovated or immaculately maintained as they could have been new. Housekeeping tidied the room daily and checked soap dispenser etc was full. Location is excellent, one stop on the bus from Silvapark ski resort, 15 minutes on the bus to Ischgl (where we skied most days). (Alpenresidenz Ballunspitze is the second stop heading to Ischgl, so you always get a seat.) It is a short walk to Galtur village centre and supermarket. Breakfast and dinner were included and were fabulous. Breakfast is a buffet, with an amazing selection of muselies, plus cereals, breads, cheeses, cold cuts, bacon, eggs, sausages, yogurts, juices etc. Dinner was appetizer and salad buffet, soup or smoothie, main course (chosen from 6 options), desert and cheese buffet. Everything was delicious. There was also cake, fruit and cold cuts put on each afternoon from 2:30 - 5pm, with plenty for everyone. The staff were all wonderful, friendly and helpful. One final aspect that did not apply for us but looked to be amazing was the way Alpenresidenz Ballunspitze caters for kids. They have activities on every day and every evening, with three or four age groups. This looked to include essentially day care for the littlest ones while the rest of the family ski. There are kids meals, drinks and desserts every night all buffet. So I guess the only time Alpenresidenz Ballunspitze might not suit is if you preferred not to share your stay with many many families and children eg perhaps a honeymoon. Overall an amazing stay, and would totally recommend. Being from Australia not sure if we will be back to Ischgl/Galtur, but if we were we would not want to stay anywhere else. Review by Ben

Excellent service, the staff were really kind. Clean room with comfortable bed. Nice breakfast.

Very friendly, helpful and professional family team run the hotel. Classic Austrian alpine decor and cleanliness. More than tolerant of our two young energetic kids threatening to destroy the peace! Ski bus runs like clockwork every 15min to the two main lifts in St Anton and stops a stones throw from the hotel. We also used the same bus to travel for free from the train (terminal West) station to the hotel. Nice spa facilities. Good breakfast and afternoon tea. Dinner is reasonably priced and flexible if doing half board.

Breakfas was very good, the reception staff was very friendly The wellness was extremely good: sauna/ steam ánd a nice pool ! Our room was very clean and had a very good comforter
