This old guesthouse has a superb location-- very near the square and right next to the beautiful Hallstatt Lake.
We had a large and gorgeous room with a private bath and a shared balcony. The furniture was all made of rich wood and definitely felt different from a standard hotel room. We would spend our evenings sitting on the balcony talking with those who shared it with us and enjoying the lake views. Breakfast is included in the price of the room and there was also a convenient restaurant located out back.
Current rates for the Gasthof Simony are 22.5-37.5 Euros per person.
