The Mavida is located about a mile out of Zell which is noted more as a ski resort but the scenery is so beautiful it has all year appeal. The location is not a problem really. It is a nice walk by the lake or the hotel will lend you a bike if you like. The Mavida is very stylish... more

We stayed for a week in Summer, which is off season as the area is mainly geared up towards skiing. Never the less the area and the hotel were still farily busy as there are a large number of outdoor pursuits available in the warmer months. Despite being moderately busy the service in the hotel, from reception to restaurant to... more

The Mavida Balance Hotel in Zell am See exceeded all our expectations and I can highly recommend this exceptional hotel. Whilst the hotel is not right in Zell am See this was not an issue for us. The hotel is a short drive or scenic bike ride (offered free by hotel). We stayed in the Deluxe Panorama Suite on the... more

Once you get used to the lack of traditional Austrian alpine charm, you begin to wish that there were more hotels of this calibre throughout the alps. From the moment you step into the designer lobby, you know that you will leave wishing that you could stay longer. There is a high ratio of staff to guests, and everyone from... more

Spent a week at this hotel during August, great location, just a couple of minutes by bike (which the hotel provides free) to the lake. The hotel is very comfortable with great views and, a first for me, a chlorine free pool (my eyes, what have you not done to my eyes). As it was off season the place was... more

We have stayed in the hotel for 4 days at the end of January. We were there only for spa and relaxation, because we are not skiing. The hotel is situated in a suburb of Zell am See, it takes about 7 minutes by car to get to the centre. We were a bit anxious because some reviews mentioned railway... more

We had a wonderful Xmas at Mavida in December 2007. Of course it helped that the weather was perfect for skiing: the sun shining, gluhwein flowing etc. The food was very enjoyable. We got on very well with the staff who was professional, seamlessly attentive. Maybe fiddling with the menu weekly would give the guests a refreshing change but other... more

We stayed at Mavida hotel for 10 days over Christmas/New Year 2007. Though it was a perfectly adequate hotel, we felt that it failed to live up to its aspiration to be either special or a 'balance' hotel and was over-priced for the services it offered. The hotel is in an excellent location for skiing - a five minute walk... more

We stayed at this hotel for a short break for our 10th Wedding anniversery at the beginning of March. The hotel certainly lived up to our expectations and comes highly recommended. Upon arrival we were given a guided tour of the hotel faclities by the reception staff. The room was spotless and although we just stayed in the standard room... more
