Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Barbarahof suits guests who want space and quiet. It lies in a calm street near the centre of Kaprun, takes children only from the age of 10 and offers large rooms, many with mountain-view balconies. Guests praise the cleanliness, the breakfast and the Roman-style spa with its indoor pool. In winter the ski bus stops right outside, the MK Maiskogelbahn is about 1 km away and the ski room is well equipped. In summer the included Zell am See-Kaprun Card covers the lake lidos, the reservoirs and the cable cars. The weak points are details rather than the core. Some guests find the beds too soft, the gym equipment is dated, and small repairs or room temperature are not always dealt with quickly. Couples and adult groups looking for a calm base for skiing or hiking will be well served; families with young children will need to look elsewhere.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 8 hotels we list in Zell am See–Kaprun is 9.1.
- Guests keep mentioning the size of the rooms, comfortable beds and balconies with mountain views, and almost everyone describes the hotel as exceptionally clean.
- The breakfast buffet is praised for its wide choice and quality, and several guests count it among the highlights of their stay.
- Some guests found the mattresses too soft, and one woke with back pain.
- The gym has panoramic views, but guests describe the equipment as old and not always working properly.
