Arriving to the hotel you will see that the hotel is not the newest but you will be welcomed by a competent personal. The rooms are functional and large, with confortable beds. I can recomend the half-board in the hotel. The food is good value for money.
Austrian adventure

Beautiful looking hotel, bedrooms with plenty of space with the advantage of a balcony too overlooking the mountains, we was on a coach tour so everything was included, apart from drinks, plenty of choice at breakfast, which included bacon & eggs which wasn't expected, on the whole the staff are very friendly, most speak English, no air con anywhere which it could have done with, no tea & coffee facilities either in the room, we took our own travel kettle though, evening meal was soup with a choice of main from two meals, plus dessert, no tea or coffee offered after or water on the tables, that was an extra 3 euros, if certain things were rectified it would be definitely 5 stars

Brixen im Thale is a very good place for ski holidays. It has what is good about Ski in Austria - the slopes, the infrastructures, the snow, the weather, but it is not full of people. The ski slopes are really good, they are not particularly difficult which is very good for learning, progression of learning which is excellent for families and for children. The Alpenhof is a very nice and cosy hotel, with good rooms and a Warm staff. Breakfasts are great and the dinners very nice. It is relatively close (5m walk) to the bus stop served by the SkiBus which in a few minutes puts us in the ski resort. I highly recommend it.
Very good hotel , excellent location - almost perfect !

We stayed in this hotel for 7 nights on our ski vacation in SkiWelt & KitzSki.
We booked the Junior suite on the 3rd floor.
It faced west and not to the main valley. Nevertheless it had some nice view. Free parking is available at the hotel.
In general the hotel is very nice. Facilities are well maintained and cleaned throughout the day. The service was excellent : in the reception , in the restaurant or in the spa - nothing to complain about . It was perfect. (Though English is not spoken fluently by the staff).
This hotel has around 60 rooms (give or take) spread out on 3 floors. Our junior suite was situated under the roof which made the ceiling a bit low in the bathroom otherwise it was spacious enough. (The elevator was a bit eclectic so we used the stairs quite often).
The room had a nice balcony where we could sit and enjoy the last rays of the sun. A small safe was at our disposal but our room didn't have a cattle and mini bar. (?!)
Another small inconvenience was that the bathtub was a bit slippery and without a security rail to secure your self. The bathroom had a special jet shower. We used it only once and didn't find it useful.
The bed was comfortable and the room was cleaned properly every day . LCD TV had lots of channels - but wasn't an interest for us.
Breakfast was good , fresh coffee and tea. No patisseries but always 3 types of bread and rolls. Some vegetables , cheese but mainly eggs & cold meat sausages.
Dinner was good too. Menu was changing every night. Varieties of soups, cold buffet with vegetables and entrees, main courses (meat or fish) were served to the table except for weekend when it was buffet too.
Vegans & vegetarians would have found enough dishes too. Extra menu was available.
Excellent deserts !
The spa was good. Two dry saunas and two wet ones. A nice recovery resting room with relaxing music. The swimming pool was small but ok. The place was clean and comfortable. We didn't use the massage .
The last point I would like to mention in this review is important for skiers who consider this hotel .
Location Location , Location!
Brixen im Thale is very well located to cover two ski areas. First its main area - SkiWelt and the second is Kitzbühel .
In terms of skiing Brixen it is a strategic location and we actually discovered it - first hand .
From the hotel a 5min walk to the main road and you take the bus the the nearby Hochbrixen cable car to ski on SkiWelt.
SkiWelt domain is not high in altitude and some winters snow coverage and ski condition are not so good . summits barely reach 1700m and most of the skiing is done from 1400m to 700m. In 6 days of ski, we only skied 2 days in SkiWelt. Temperatures were too high for mid February , snow was quickly melting and turning into a slush bellow 1000m. It even rained bellow 1400m.
So our backup skiing plan was to ski in Kitzbühel. Summits are around 2000m and have many north faced slopes. Excellent ski there.
From the hotel we walked 5min with our ski gear to the nearby train station and in 10mins we where at the Kitzbühel Hahnenkhammbahn. It was very convenient and free of charge. Parking in Kitzbühel is challenging especially on weekends and costs about 10€ a day.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Alpenhof Brixen hotel. The rooms were nice and the staff very helpful. We also really enjoyed the spa and heath center.
Most importantly this hotel has a great location. It is just steps from the free ski bus shuttle service which takes you to the ski lift within 10 minutes. We were also able to purchase our ski lift tickets from the hotel front desk which was a nice perk.
