Das Central

We have visited a lot of 5-star hotels, and Das Central is BY FAR the BEST hotel experience we have ever had. Everything in the hotel is premium and made to have you think as little as possible for maximum relaxation. The food is delicious and varied, the staff is incredibly nice (special mention to Antonio who was marvelous) and the amenities are exceptional. Sölden is also great to explore with a lot of different activities, many of them included for free with Das Central or the summer card. Thank you very much for the most relaxing week we have had in a long time. We will come back as soon as possible. ~ Erwan & Alix

We decided to visit over the Christmas period. The Hotel is in an amazing location and absolutely stunning. Probably the best Spa areas I have ever visited, very extensive facilities. We didn’t Ski so in the day when everyone was on the slopes it was like having the whole Spa privately. You are allocated a table in the Restaurant for your stay for both Breakfast and Dinner. The menus, food, service were on a different level, unbelievable outstanding. The quality was that of a good Michelin restaurant. Antonio and Emma looked after us admirably, you could eat at your preferred time no one sittings like so many hotels, even on Christmas Day. I had several Spa treatments which again were brilliant. It snowed heavily while we were there which was stunning. Christmas Day lunch we took the cable cars to the summit James Bond 007 restaurant for lunch…. Breathtaking. The immediate village around the hotel also has lots of cafes, bars and restaurants to enjoy as well. Would 100 % highly recommended and will definitely retu.

We traveled from the U.S. to visit Solden / Das Central. Everything about the hotel was fantastic. We didn't care for the party vibe of the town of Solden, so it was such a relief to return the hotel after skiing to enjoy the spa and a delicious dinner.

Back to the Das Central during mid term for the 4th time over the years. Writing another review now as they have renovated and opened a new roof top spa with out door heated pool, huge whirl pool area new saunas with incredible views , and a fabulous wellness / massage treatment area. On arrival that lovely warm welcome still awaits and you are enveloped into the embrace of the Das Central family . The reception team are just fantastic, they never tired of our constant requests, airport transfers, ski lessons booked ( ski passes available here as well which makes the whole thing a lot easier ) , restaurants on the slopes arranged for Lunch - do not miss the Wirtshaus, Falcon and best of all the Ice Cube – I did not think it was possible that the Ice Cube could improve any more, but it has - sublime. The 2017 Pino 3000 is drinking really well now - try it Once more the breakfast buffet impressed, it is one of the best I have ever seen and the juicing room as ever is a joy. It was great to see that the same staff were here again to look after us. Some names escape me but there was Martin in the restaurant Sandra of course what a great lady, Marie, Josef, Kathrin, Renate, Anna Katharina and the team in reception. The bar team are just incredible but again names escape me. Andrea in Housekeeping, Lordan and Joseph driving the ski shuttle bus, the list goes on , so to all the team thank you once more, we will be back

The Central advertises itself as a luxury hotel with gourmet cuisine/gourmet breakfast and spa experience. With the expensive room prices and their promises, our expectations were high. The stay left us with mixed feelings. What we liked: -Great new spa on the top two floors with spectacular infinity pool (even if there are far too few loungers) -Existing spa in the basement is well maintained, large and offers plenty of loungers - Modern lobby with bar and lounge - Large ski room with lockable ski locker for each room with heating for the boots -Free ski shuttle to cable cars, runs throughout the day as required by guests - Friendly staff from reception, the restaurant, the driver to the cleaning staff -modern, stylish room furnishings (we had the renovated junior suite Gaislachkogl) This did not meet our expectations, especially for a 5 star hotel: -No one showed up on arrival to help us with our luggage -Our junior suite Gaislachkogl nr. 231, was on the 2nd floor with a view mainly of houses and not mountain view (only from the balcony). The room was rather dark. The balcony was tiny, with no chair/table, only a small railing to the neighboring balcony -The coffee machine, coffee capsule and cups were missing in the room (which is advertised as an included service). We received the machine on request. 3 Nespresso capsules are free per day, each additional capsule costs € 2.20 each. We found this embarrassing considering the room price (+ 700 euros per day with breakfast). - Breakfast was not a «gourmet breakfast» as advertised by the hotel. The buffet quantity and quality was just ok. The bread rolls were dry, as was the cheese, the pineapple on Monday morning were those from the day before, the sweets were ready-made products. As a hotel with gourmet cuisine, we would have expected home-made bread or home-made sweets, for example. - Cover service is only available on request and the bedtime treat was - a Raffaello. For a hotel that describes itself as a gourmet location, we would have expected a home mode greeting from the kitchen. No free bottle of mineral water for turndown service -The bath towels in the room are thin and anything but fluffy -In the new spa there is no tea, juices or nuts/fruit -At check-out, we got a wrong bill. The already payed 1st night was charged again and a bill from the bar which was not from us was also charged to our room. The hotel does not live up to its standards for a 5 star hotel, also in view of the high room price. We had the feeling that the hotel cut the service to save money in several places. The price-performance ratio is not good. We would not stay here again.

Honestly one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in. We went for Christmas and couldn’t have asked for more. The rooms were immaculate, the spa and facilities are so well looked after. The ski lockers are a good size with lots of space to get boots on and get ready to head out. The transfers to and from the foot of the slopes were excellent. The dining was such an experience, Christmas Eve was such a special evening. The food was delicious. All in all a most excellent stay and one I’d love to repeat. Thanks you to all at Das Central.
