Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provides a cozy feel and friendly service. The rooms on the 2nd floor are to be avoided, but overall clean and comfortable. The location is ideal for outdoor activities, although some areas were tiny. The dining experience was satisfactory. The facilities offered were enjoyable, with attentive staff willing to assist.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were super clean with a balcony and mountain views, making it a delight to wake up to. However, the rooms tended to get uncomfortably hot at night, making sleeping a bit of a challenge. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, with some staff members being incredibly friendly and helpful, while others seemed impatient and unhelpful. The location was beautiful, nestled in the forest and a short transfer away from the town and slopes, offering a peaceful retreat. The dining options were satisfactory with a diverse menu, but there was no buffet service. The facilities were great, with nice saunas, a steam room, and a chill-out area.
The hotel is good if you want to relax and avoid the noisy crowd, with spacious, super clean rooms equipped with everything you need. The staff works hard during meal times and puts effort into making your stay special. However, the location might lead to expensive taxi fares, and the service lacks a bit of customer orientation.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were huge and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of skiing. The service was exceptional, with friendly and well-trained staff. The location was cozy and ideal for unwinding, but a bit out of the way for easy access to the main area. The dining experience was excellent with plenty of choices. Overall, a great value for money.
