Reviews and Ratings
Wow, my stay at this hotel was a mix of charming and dated. The rooms had this quirky '60s chalet-style wood paneling that felt like a step back in time, but hey, the views were breathtaking. Service was hit or miss, but when it hit, it was impressive. The location was a dream come true with stunning mountain vistas and even a private ski area, but the dining left a bit to be desired.
My stay at the hotel was truly enchanting. The rooms, although designed in a charming chalet style from the 60s with wood paneling, offered a breathtaking view of the Alps from the balcony. The only downside was the oversight with the adult meals. Nevertheless, it was one of the most beautiful and comfortable rooms I have ever slept in.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although beautiful and comfortable, lacked some essential amenities like kettles, and the service was friendly but not entirely focused on the guest's needs. On the bright side, the location was stunning with great facilities, but the dining options fell short of expectations.
The hotel has a rustic charm with rooms that may feel stuck in the past but offers a cozy retreat at the end of the corridor. The service is mixed, with friendly and helpful staff but lacking warmth. The stunning mountain view adds to the heavenly location above Davos, where you can enjoy two restaurants and a private ski area. The dining experience, while average, provides options for vegetarians and vegans. The facilities offer a range of services to enhance your stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although redecorated in the 60s with chalet-style wood paneling, were not the best, but I was moved to another room that was an improvement. The initial room was extremely cold, and it only had one chair despite having two people staying. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, and the staff remained accommodating even after addressing issues. The location was absolutely stunning, with a mountain view to enjoy every morning and convenient access to hikes and other amenities on the mountain top in Davos. However, the dining experience fell short with a limited selection, but the hotel offered fresh vegetables and fruits. The facilities were decent overall.
