We had the best stay at this hotel! The location was perfect—just around the corner from the Sigmund Thun Gorge and only about a 10-minute walk away. We actually preferred this area much more than Zell am See.

Everything in the apartment was brand new, as the hotel itself is newly built. The only thing we would do differently next time is book a larger apartment, but that’s our own learning and not a reflection on the hotel.

The family pool was lovely, and the entire hotel was exceptionally clean and well maintained. A special thank you to Lisa and Linda, who were absolutely amazing so friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. They truly made our stay even more enjoyable.

We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Brilliant. Absolutely amazing stay!

We stayed at Carpe Solem for a week as a family of six with children, and we truly loved every moment of our stay!

Everything was absolutely wonderful, from the warm and attentive customer service to the cleanliness of the apartments, which was consistently excellent.
The reception team was always helpful and welcoming, making us feel at home from the very beginning.

We also really enjoyed the bar and the restaurant, great atmosphere, delicious food, and very friendly staff.

It was a perfect place for a family stay, comfortable, well-organised, and thoughtfully designed.
We would happily return and highly recommend it to other families.

Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

My family stayed at this hotel during our travel to Austria. The hotel is excellent and the amenities are wonderful. There is a gym, saunas, kids playroom, teens playroom, one infinity swimming pool on the roof and one in-door swimming pool. We stayed in a family apartment equipped with a kitchen. The apartment was spacious and very well furnished. We really enjoyed our 3 day stay at this hotel.

The apartments are wonderfully equipped, spacious and exceptionally clean and tidy (to the point we thought at first it was unused!) - all the staff were very accommodating, professional, kind and helpful! Especially Raydel who went above and beyond all and any expectations, he truly is a gem! His spa ceremonies are unforgettable!

Location is pretty good, with quick access via bus to both Kitzsteinhorn and Zell! It's only a short ride or walk to the centre of Kaprun and there's also a nearby supermarket which stocks most things you would need

One aspect that could be improved is the facilities in the adult spa - adding a Turkish sauna/haman and salt room in place of the relaxation area behind the service room would upgrade the spa to world class! However this is nitpicking and merely suggestions for improvement!

We didn't eat at the restaurant in the hotel, however we did get to try some of the food, courtesy to a wonderful staff member... and the food seemed rather good!

We would highly recommend Carpe Solem and give a massive thank you for a wonderful stay courtesy of the staff at Carpe Solem and especially Raydel!

Excellent family friendly hotel! The staff are very friendly and responsive to the guests' needs. Food is delicious and freshly made. Kids do easily find choices to their taste. And when it's play time they just walk down to the leisure activities floor. I do recommend this hotel, especially for families.
