Reviews of k&k Residenz

Great place to stay while exploring the mid-Austrian mountains and lakes. Helmut is a very considerate and enthusiastic host and is willing to help and give advice and recommendations if you ask. The property is located near the main road which will take you from Bad Mittendorf and allow you to quickly explore the surrounding area, but it’s also within walking distance of the town so you can go out for food or the pub. It’s such a beautiful part of Austria close to Hallstatt and Styrian mountains as well the Salzburg region and lakes

There is limited parking space at the property - space for 3 cars. If push came to shove then you could probably park on the road/grass but if you have a rental car like we did then you might be reluctant to do so.

The host was super ok! The rooms and bathroom are large and spacious.

The host has two cats, beautiful ones, by the way, but their smell may create discomfort for thse who don`t like animals or who are more sensitive to smells.

Very friendly, helpful and talkative owner: very interesting lovely person! The property is in front of amazing mountains view with fantastic sunset to them (visited in August).

Unfortunately have some negative observations about this property: no even basic facilities (dishes, hands soap, trash can) - need to go and ask for everything. There cooking is prohibited - so don’t thing about having and preparing your own meal there. Rooms don’t even have a fridge (owner offered us to bring a mini Red Bull fridge by the request - thanks for that!). We even didn’t have a kettle that had to be by the property’s description in booking.com. Another thing - the house is right near to the regional road so the noise from it is significantly high. And finally - the smell (I think it's the smell of smoking) in a house wasn’t the best.

Very charismatic host, I definitely recommend this place!

Best price per night in the area. Clean and tidy. I felt really welcoming.

Great location. Host extremely nice person alone worth the reservation. 2 separate bedrooms, balcony, spacious bathroom.

It was a bit hot because of lack of air cooler so I would go to sleep naked and cover myself with blanket only during night when room had cooled from outside air.

We stayed at Helmut's house in a family room. The apartment is large, bright, with two separate rooms and a large bathroom. Everywhere is perfectly clean, comfortable beds, a big balcony. There is a separate dressing room, where there is enough space for the things of both children and adults. You can order breakfast separately, but we do not have breakfast in the morning, so we declined. Helmut, the owner of the house, is very caring and responsible. I will start with the fact that he quickly responded to all my requests on the Booking website, and when we arrived, he told us in detail about all the interesting places of this beautiful region, gave us advice on where to go, what to see and provided us with all the necessary information in the form of brochures, maps, etc. Special thanks to him for this advice! Despite the rainy and rather cool weather, we truly enjoyed our three-day vacation. I can only recommend this accommodation to couples and families. Convenient location and private parking allow you to spend a week or two in this hospitable house. Helmut, thank you so much!

Very cozy and homey accommodation. Location is great. Beautiful nature all around. Breakfast is always great and fresh, a good way to start a long day :) The host, Helmut, is wonderful and always helpful. Definitely makes the stay even better. I can only recommend 🙌 (Thanks a lot, Helmut! 💛)

Very caring attitude of the owner, nothing was a problem. Cold? We were given a space heater and an extra duvet. You don't like the S&W handcuffs. No problem to take them off :-) The breakfast was plentiful. Recommended.

Nothing

Cross-country skiing trails are directly in front of the house. Shop Billa is 5-minute walk away. Skibus stop is also 5-minute walk away.

The property is located in very good location, Views spectacular! The host Helmut was amazing, friendly, open hearted and very helpful. The breakfasts he served every day were amazing and very tasty! Highly recommended.

Very welcoming, conveniently located within walking distance to a small town including small supermarket, restaurants and bars. Helmut was friendly and knowledgeable about local culture and leisure activities available, providing us with numerous leaflets on arrival. He was happy to advise us throughout our stay of places to visit or eat, also rang a restaurant on our behalf to check availability for a table. He speaks German and excellent English too. The room was comfortable, clean and modern yet traditional. Clean towels were supplied but sadly no handwash. The bed was very comfortable, just the right amount of support, I slept well. The property is set back for the main road , some people have commented that they found the road noisy but personally it didn’t disturb myself or my husband, even when the window/patio door was ajar. It was lovely to be waited on by Helmut at breakfast, very traditional cuisine of salamis and cheeses, yogurts, fresh berries and homemade syrups. We found that the property was an excellent base to explore the culture and outdoor leisure of Austria. I have already recommended holidaying here to friends, so Helmut expect more English visitors soon.

Little niggles only: I would have preferred woven cotton sheets, had handwash to be provided in the bathroom.

We liked everything. Before we came we read all these excellent reviews about Helmut and were wondering, whether they were true. And they were! Helmut was really the best host. He spoke perfect English and really was trying to help with everything we needed. For example he arranged a fridge and an electric kettle for us, because we needed it to prepare food for our child. Also, he made the best breakfast, everyday with different local cold cuts. What we couldn’t eat, we could take with us for lunch. So everyday we did not have to worry about lunch, because there just was so much really good food. He also tried to entertain our baby with children books and gave us great advices for our trips. We had the family suit and it was perfect. It was spacious and clean. Although during the day it was around 30, the place always cooled down in the evening and the night was pleasant.

It was my second time I stayed in k&k residence. The residence is in a nice valley,surrounded by fields and streams. Very near to a supermarket and gas stations.and not far away from the attractions around. The rooms are large and comfortable. So is the bathroom. The owner,Helmut,invest his energy and time in his guests. He will help to plan your day and to solve any problem you have . By request he will prepare a very special breakfast,based on local ingredients. It is a very special experience to stay at the residence

Exceptional host in a unique and comfortable chalet

Authentic experience with an unforgettable host Mr. Helmut.

Helmot is very friendly we liked him and he help us a lot. The location is perfect. It’s amazing place there is a super market near it (Bella) and there is an amazing restaurant nearby with view of the lake thet Helmot tell us about

Helmut was an excellent host who really did everything he could to make you feel comfortable and was super welcoming! Staying at the k&k meant that we had the option of experiencing homemade/locally produced Austrian breakfast each day and with the help of Helmut had access to an encyclopedia of knowledge and discounts on the activities in the surrounding mountain regions we wanted to explore. This was a massive help considering we were new to the area!

Everything is to like!
