Fodor's Expert Review Goldener Ochs

Grazerstrasse 4, Bad Ischl, Upper Austria, A-4820, Austria

The "Golden Ox" is in a superb location in the town center, with the sparkling River Traun a few steps away. Rooms are simple and fresh, some have balconies, and there are a few large rooms designed for families. Request a view over the river for the loveliest and quietest experience. Breathe in the healing air from the Salzkammergut-mined saline flowing through natural pine branches in the wellness spa's salt graduation tower and retreat from crowded local beaches into the private indoor pool. The kitchen maintains a focus on regionally sourced ingredients in its classic Austrian dishes.
