The hype
Families love the pools and location, but everyone notices the management transition friction and worn-out room interiors.
KUHOTEL by Rilano
$170-370/ éjszaka
Foglaljon ezt, ha You're a family who needs a pool-heavy basecamp for Steinplatte skiing or Triassic Park hiking and can tolerate some scuffs.
Miért szeretik az emberek
- Heated indoor and outdoor pools with mountain views
- Direct shuttle/access to Steinplatte ski lifts
- Breakfast buffet is consistently rated as excellent
Gyors áttekintés: A solid family workhorse currently having an identity crisis between its 'KUHOTEL' past and 'elaya' future, with tired carpets to prove it.
Értékelte @krasiworld: I felt completely recharged after my stay here. The sauna with that mountain view is incredible, and I loved ending the day tasting local schnapps in the lounge. It’s the perfect spot if you just need to disconnect and breathe fresh air.

Reality check
The '4-star' rating feels generous given the stained carpets and hit-or-miss housekeeping.
- You have kids under 12 who need constant entertainment (pools, cinema, playroom)
- You want a ski hotel where you don't have to drive to the lift
- You prioritize a massive breakfast spread over a fancy room

Foglalás előtt
Jó tudni

“I am booking the Alpenrock category and kindly request a room on a higher floor facing the mountains, away from the elevator. Hardwood floor room preferred if available to avoid carpet issues.”
GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is the hotel called KUHOTEL or elaya?
It is officially 'elaya hotel steinplatte' now, but locals and signs still refer to it as KUHOTEL. Expect to see both names.
Is there air conditioning?
No. The hotel relies on mountain air, which can be insufficient during summer heatwaves.
How far is the ski lift?
The Steinplatte gondola is about 800m away. There is a hotel shuttle, or it's a 10-15 minute walk in ski boots.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, both the indoor and outdoor pools are heated year-round, which is a major highlight.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, dogs are welcome for approx €20/night, but they are not allowed in the restaurant or wellness areas.
Is parking free?
Yes, there is free self-parking and some carports available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Insider tippek
- ✨
The 'Campingstüberl' restaurant nearby looks like a campsite snack bar but serves some of the best pizza and value meals in town.
- ✨
Request a 'south-facing' balcony for afternoon sun; north-facing rooms can get gloomy in winter.
- ✨
The hotel cinema shows kids' movies daily — ask reception for the schedule upon check-in as it's not always posted.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'playroom' is actually quite beat up; don't expect pristine toys.
💡Room service is inconsistent and sometimes just doesn't show up.
💡The 'Alpengluehen' rooms have a carpeted living area that traps dust — allergy sufferers beware.
💡You might get a 'KUHOTEL' branded keycard and an 'elaya' branded invoice.
💡The outdoor pool view is spectacular, but the path to get there can be icy in winter.
