Reviews and Ratings
The chalet for 6 in this hotel was really dated and didn't give the impression of being super clean, but the staff were so friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, near everything you need for skiing and convenient to reach everywhere, though it can get busy. The dining, although served at a separate building, was tasty and fresh with a good variety. The facilities were up to standard but could be improved in terms of cleanliness.
My stay at the hotel was incredibly pleasant. The location was perfect for enjoying the snow and being close to a ski school. The dining experience was lovely, although a bit lacking in variety. The service provided was exceptional, and the facilities were top-notch. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at this chalet for 6 with a nice view to the riverside. The rooms were big and provided enough space for four of us, each having their own entrance. The wooden chalet with a private sauna and parking space outside was a real delight. The service was top-notch, with knowledgeable and helpful staff. The location was excellent, right next to the ski resort, with plenty of snow for kids to play and near many tourist areas. The dining experience offered a tasty selection of fresh food. Overall, a great experience with a few minor downsides.
The hotel is situated in a convenient location near a ski center and various sledding spots. The rooms, although a bit dated, can accommodate a couple with a third person comfortably, but cleanliness could be improved. The service was friendly and helpful overall, with the added bonus of a sauna in the cottage. The dining options were decent, and the facilities met expectations.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were good, but there were some minor issues like broken lights and leftover rubbish. The location was amazing, with slopes nearby for skiing, although it would have been better with some additional seating in the room. The service was wonderful, especially at reception, and the dining provided a wide selection of food. However, having to venture into town for meals was a downside.
