The rooms were small but reasonable enough, and had partial views of the mountains.
Located beside a shopping center, convenient to restaurants and grocery stores, in just about the heart of the city.
Breakfast was above average for Austria, and the Pongau Stube restaurant served seasonal fresh asparagus.

First of all, I am very thankful that I chose Hotel Lerch for your ski holiday. The position of the hotel is no doubt great. It takes just a few minutes to get to Skibus Station. The journey to Alpendorf takes up to ten minutes.
The meal was incredible. I have no complaints about service.

The breakfast was very varied, the spa facilities/pool are top notch and the ski bus stop is located right in front of the hotel. The fact that the ski passes could be purchased/printed at the hotel and that the ski/snowboard rentals could be made directly from the hotel as well are also big pluses.

Perfect place for skiing, as it sits directly on slope. You can put ski on at hotels door and finish the day at the same place.
As usual in Austria, you will love the cuisine, restaurant is great. Room was good enough, no complaints about equipment, but i didn't expect anything above standard. Mattress was quite tough, i like that. The walls are maybe a little bit thin, you can hear a lot sometimes.
A pool with a sunbathing terrace is featured at Der Alpenblick, a 10-minute drive from Sankt Johann im Pongau. The guest house comes with a sauna and offers rooms with cable TV.
Wonderful location, clean rooms. Everything was fine.

We are from Colorado so it was similar to Breckenridge or other small mountain towns. There are plenty of hills in town so it was a great "walking exercise experience." There are plenty of grocery stores and cheaper than the US. The situation of the town is beautiful!

Great location for those who want to travel in the province of Salzburg. We went for a walk on Ghost Mountain (the cable car a few hundred meters from the hotel). We took a trip to the Lichtenstein Gorge - this place is a MUST! Its five-minute drive - during busy times in the summer, it's convenient because you can start the day there when it's not too busy and hot yet. The trip to other attractions and sites is also short and the hotel itself is very close to the highway for those who want to reach sites such as the salt mines in Hallein, Hohenwerfen Castle, Salzburg and more. The town of St. Johann im Pongau has many shops and the area has some good restaurants with local food.

The city has all what a tourist needs.
The city has all what a tourist needs. One may say typical Apline city, but has it's nice unique spots - for me: the old bridge neighbourhood (I'd say the old town). As it is located on a slope for me it's more pictureous than others located just in a valley.

Sank Johann was a very pretty town with a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. We were there for the Skiing so did not spend a lot of time in the town, or at some of the attractions. However I have been coming to Sank Johann in the winter since 2009 and have never been disappointed.
I have never visited in the summer but I can only assume that it will be also be an excellent base from which to explore the area.
Bus service is excellent and Salzburg is only 1hr 15 away. €11 by train and does not require you to change trains.

The mountains around St Johann im Pongau are wonderful, the town its self has changed a lot. It used to be the main place to stay for winter sports in the area, but this has slowly been superseded by Alpendorf where there are a number of modern hotels and apartments (often moderately expensive).
This has caused a lot of the change which includes many of the great bars and restaurants closing and being replaced by some modern residential buildings (most recently the Silbergasse which we all loved).
Of course, if you stay on the edge of town, or a little up the hill (as we did this time), then there are beautiful places to stay. The remaining Hotels like Alpenland, The Brückenwirt and the Lerch and others can also be highly reccomended. Recently, the local Hahnbaum chair lift (where we started skiing in the early 80s) was removed and not replaced. That used to be a great place to ski with the locals on a Sunday after a later night out at ski lovers bar (also long gone). A beginner's area with a T-Lift and Banana lift still exist on the Hahnbaum, but in general you will ski out of Alpendorf (5 minutes drive up the hill), or you just have a short drive to many of the other "Salzburger Skiwelt" areas such as Großarl and Hoch König to mention just 2 out of many.
The town has expanded somewhat over the years, on the plus side this gives plenty of scope for food shopping if you are staying in an apartment. It is a town that many (like us) still love as we have been visiting for so many years, and it is always great to see familiar faces when on a winter holiday. The local people have always been extremely welcoming and very friendly.
Some prefer Wagrain, which has retained its quaint mountain village / town atmosphere and not as crowded as Flachau. Close by is Kleinarl which is a perfect Family resort.
For us, St Johann was and still is the center of the Salzburger Ski Welt, and we will hopefully be regulars for many years to come.

Every morning they put nature milk in front of the door... I recommend everyone to choose this place..... I come late with lu kids and she opened the door for us.......I will back again to them....
Cosy family hotel with great view and tasty breakfasts.
The owner and his family were very friendly and helpful with all our queries. We had a beautiful view from our balcony and could enjoy the saunas and a pool every day after skiing. There was a bus to the slopes, what was very comfortable for us, but we also tried an option to come down from the slope directly to the hotel. Interesting experience!😊
The hotel is near the train station, which was convenient as we arrived late. The room was clean and modern with a very nice bathroom, the breakfast was good as well, cold cuts, tea, coffee, juices, bread and buns, cereals, eggs made to order. We did not have time to enjoy the wellness area but bathrobes were provided in the room. A cute dog welcomed us at the reception, a nice bonus to our stay!
Perfect hotel, everything was great, on the day of check in we arrived late and they was about to close the buffet, so they called us to check when we arriving to save us food. For all days of stay the personal was great. There is kids room in the basement and it was great. The rooms are very clean and cool. The dinner time is from 18:00 to 20:00. The breakfast is from 6:30 - 10:00.
The appartement was located in a 400 years old farm on the outskirts of Sankt Johann im Pongau. The appartment contained everything what you might need for nice holidays in a very pleasant environment. The owners are very nice and friendly people speaking good English.
Staff there were really nice and friendly. The hotel is located around 1200m in elevation and overlooks the valley, surrounding by mountains like above clouds. The owner prepared our room with such a nice view. They have a restaurant with great food!!!
Beautiful location... ski to door. Very friendly staff/owners.... Responded quickly to any enquiry. Gave us extra duvets or kitchenware when we needed them. Another family was able to stay in the same house, which made it an extra special holiday.
Very clean and spacious room, nice breakfast.
Although the hotel is next to a main road, it is very quiet thanks to the great soundproofing.
I forgot my favourite sunglasses there, they found it and we picked up the next day, thank you again!
The apartment it’s not only bigger than most of the places we’ve stayed during ski holidays but also very modern and comfortable. Host it’s super helpful and friendly. If we have the chance to go back for sure we will stay in the same place.
This is a family run hotel in the best tradition. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable rooms, excellent restaurant and delightful staff- must mention Martina on reception who was so helpful and kind to us during our stay.
Wonderful hotel! We loved the pools, playground, animals and the pony rides. The hotel is clean and beautiful with wonderful mountain views. The staff were very kind and we enjoyed the breakfast too. Highly recommend!
Good location beautiful scenery and nice staff
Very close to Alpendorf ski mountains, less than 5 min away
Free bus travel to and from the ski resorts and into town.
Free sauna use which was amazing
The staff is perfect! We rented electric bicycles and they were superb, we had a wonderful afternoon in the mountains above the hotel. The room was spacious with wonderful balcony and bathroom.
I was the only guest at the hotel, with early outs for my geology work. The owners were So accommodating and they had beautiful breakfasts ready for me. Great balcony and view.
Perfect for a family holiday! Best part of the hotel is playground, swimming pool and the animals. Kids loved it there so much that they didn’t want to leave!
