Room was very quite spacious and bathroom was very good. We had two terraces even. Breakfast was perfect! Everyday there was some variety of breakfast items. Gondola was few minutes away, so you will be near the ski area. Hot bath and sauna are a plus as well.

Furniture could be better and more maintained, and there was a stale smell in the room. Be aware that they do not have their parking but it seems that it is not a problem to park on the street (although some streets have "no parking" signs). You might need to drive a bit around but it is not a big deal.

Good breakfast every day with vegetables, fruits, eggs and everything you might need. It's very close to gondola. Rooms & the interior of hotel is very hot, we shut down the radiator in our room in order to get a comfy temperature. We also liked the dry sauna & ski storage room. Guy at the reception is very kind & helpful.

Spa area is missing some features like steam sauna is disabled. Mini pool with air bubbles is not working properly & is very dirty, I'd not recommend anyone to use it.

The room was very clean and warm. Wonderful location very near to the gondola and the center. Overall, we're happy with our stay and would visit again.

The water in the jacuzzi in the spa area wasn't very clean. The wifi was poor. Additional price for breakfast on booking was 5lv per person per day, but the price on reception was 16lv per person per day.

The staff was wonderful. The location was 5 min from the gondola, which was great. Tha sauna was bigger than most places, and the spa area as a whole was OK.

The facilities gave a little older vibe. There was no parking on site, so sometimes it was hard to find a place to park nearby.

This is a cozy and quiet hotel with a great location near the Gondola. The SPA area is comfortable and nice. Good breakfast and dinner. Great staff, you feel like at your friends' there.

Mattress in our room was a bit old, but this was not a big deal.

Nice time with friendly people. Staff and the hotel was very pleasant.

They need time to prepare the room when we come. But this was because it was the beginning of the season.

Breakfast was lovely, though it starts at 8:00 which can be a tad difficult if you want to catch fresh tracks in the morning. The sauna and steam rooms were great, and the hot-tub was quite relaxing. The staff was lovely and very helpful with all questions and requests.

They were late starting breakfast one morning so I had to skip it in order to get up the hill for fresh powder. I'm sure it was an honest mistake.
