Visited Austria for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $128/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Been going for years. The scene has improved recently.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
