Hotel & Restaurant Dankl
Italian and Austrian dining with real dietary range
About this hotel
Dankl puts its restaurant at the centre of the stay, running both Italian and Austrian cuisines with proper vegetarian and vegan menus alongside them, a level of dietary range that stands out among Lofer's more traditionally Austrian-only kitchens nearby. Rooms carry a work desk, parquet floors and modern amenities, comfortable without over-reaching into full spa territory or an inflated price. A sun terrace and garden give somewhere to sit before or after a day on the Loferer Alm, and free WiFi covers the property throughout the whole stay. This is a Lofer address built around eating well as much as sleeping well, useful for a group with mixed dietary needs across a longer trip.

Our take
Travellers with vegetarian or vegan requirements, or simply wanting a genuinely good Italian-Austrian restaurant on site, will find Dankl one of the stronger dining choices in Lofer for a longer stay. The parquet-floored rooms are comfortable without unnecessary extras tacked on for the price. Families wanting a full wellness centre or children's play area should look at Mühlpointhof or Zum Schweizer instead of here.
- Check the vegetarian and vegan menu options ahead if travelling with dietary requirements, the range here is genuinely good.
- Alternate between the Italian and Austrian dishes across the stay rather than sticking to one cuisine.
- Sit in the garden or on the terrace for a coffee before heading up to the Loferer Alm each morning.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the vegetarian and vegan menu options are handled properly, a real relief for a group with mixed dietary needs on a week-long ski trip together. Alternating between the Italian and Austrian dishes across the stay kept dinner from feeling repetitive, unlike some of the more single-cuisine guesthouses nearby in the valley. The garden and sun terrace gave a quiet spot to plan the next day's runs on the Loferer Alm before heading up each morning.
