Hotel is well-situated halfway between the town of Gmunden (1km away) and the start of the hiking trail (at Gasthof Hois'n) around the Traunstein, which I highly recommend if you're fit enough. It's also just a few feet from the lake and has its own bathing area, which is quite important as most of the coast is privatized. I really appreciated the cold-drinks vending machine (including good beer) for guests. Breakfast was very good. The restaurant is equally important as the hotel - it's very popular and a bit noisy in the evenings. It serves only traditional dishes from the region, reasonably priced. Service is efficient and polite but not particularly friendly. If the weather is nice, a dinner on the terrace at sunset is wonderful. Arriving in the evening, the staff will be primarily busy with the restaurant, so don't expect the reception to offer much information, not even the wifi code, unless you ask for it.
