Had a great week there via Crystal Ski and had been a bit worried by some reviews. But with no need! The hotel really added to the experience, it was spot on. - welcoming and ever so helpful staff, really made the stay - cosy and warm room: comfy bed, always hot water - great food. Plentiful breakfast inc cooked options. Dinner great. Soup, then Three fresh pastas to choose from, then three mains, and several puds every day. AND a plentiful salad bar to supplement or as starters (suspect this is where the review comments re cold veg came…. They are there as starters) - great bar. Beer very good value and so handy to have it in your hotel, was a nice place to be. You get credit on a card, don’t worry about that, top up what you need and it pays for extra drinks and tourist tax (& remaining funds back to you in €) - bus stop out of door and turn at top of drive. Very handy. 1 mins walk (and hotel helped with €9 week bus pass - get one - lots of inspectors). Five mins bus ride either way to Alba or Canazei Belvedere Boot room warm but small. A few boots may not make it onto the heaters but doesn’t seem a big problem We would book again we were SO impressed. No it wasn’t once of those stylised modernised new look alpine hotels - it is as the pics so take a look - perfectly comfy and we’ll maintained.

“Decent hotel with a few caveats”

I’m surprised this is the first English language review in 2024. As there’s quite a few brits that stay at this hotel. Let’s talk about the positives first - plenty of food at dinner time and a good selection and a little free wine. We never went hungry. Though, as others have said, you do need to … Mais

I’m surprised this is the first English language review in 2024. As there’s quite a few brits that stay at this hotel. Let’s talk about the positives first - plenty of food at dinner time and a good selection and a little free wine. We never went hungry. Though, as others have said, you do need to use the microwave as the vegetables are served cold. Also the portions given to you by the servers are those you might expect in prison. You have to ask for more each time. Not too sure why they’re so careful with their portion sizes. Breakfast was okay though. Of course, the sausages and bacon are European in nature and wouldn’t perhaps be suitable for those of us who are brought up on British food. This is a hotel that is mostly Italian and therefore it’s fine. The showers are very small. And if you try and shower after 6.30, the water is tepid at Best.. so be careful with your apres-ski. The rooms we were given are very small and the storage facilities are very limited. On the positive side, the beds were very comfortable and the temperature in the room generally acceptable. I would suggest the hotel rooms haven’t had a makeover since the 1980s. The bar area was very pleasant, and the prices not too bad . As others have mentioned, you do have to buy a prepaid card. This made a lot of sense in taking cash out of the equation. All of the staff were very pleasant indeed. The hotel was generally not noisy and so one that could be enjoyed by families . However, if you wanted some nightlife, the local town was a good 15 minutes walk away and buses stop at 8pm. Mind you, the local town isnt a hive of nightlife - this is not apres-ski central! With the restaurant timings it is good to be down reasonably on time as arrival anything over 30 minutes later than opening means that the food left is pretty much what you are left with. Sometimes this means no bread and other items, like desserts. Really disappointingly, and this is nothing to do with the hotel, we booked with Crystal who couldn’t be bothered to turn up at the hotel and also didn’t advise us on the resort/buses/ski hire/ski passes/ timings or anything else . We’ve had amazing holidays with Neilsens, including to the same town, and were amazed that Crystal pretty much got you on a bus at the airport and left you to it. No customer service whatsoever. The boot room is small and tends to be taken over by large groups. The spa facilities have to be pre-booked and are only free for one hour per week. The rest of the time it’s £15 per hour per person. There is no evening entertainment at this hotel.
