We went here for a fortnight from Jan 7th 2023 with Crystalski (They are a separate issue!) Overall the hotel exceeded our expectations. Plus points:- Very handy for Alba or Canazei lifts via bus stops within 100 metres. However watch the hotel drive slope for ice! Buy your weekly bus ticket at reception (IF they have them!) Lots of ticket inspections. Our room 200?? was plenty big enough and with storage space but heard others were small. As ours was on the main road side we felt the need to close the shutters at night to mitigate road noise. The food was generally pretty good with plenty of choices. Always a soup, 3 pastas, then 3 mains. A few desserts/fruit. Always salad options. As others mention some dishes could do with being warmer! And cold plates never help that. Breakfast was OK. More continental than "Full British." The coffee drinkable. The screech juice not for me personally! The staff were generally very engaging. Not so plus points:- WiFi limited to reception area. Boot/ski room is too small when hotel is busy. That's especially at weekends. They look for you to take out a prepayment "extras" card which not everyone is happy about. They don't always have the full week bus tickets available! The food could be warmer but there is a microwave available and I did use it. Even for the coffee! Very popular with Italians also. Being gracious to say that they have their queue and ski room etiquette. Not a "mark off" but be aware that it is for families and not adults only. On a separate observation this is not an "Apres ski" type hotel. It is a +10 minute walk to town if you want the nightlife. We'd happily return as it represents better than decent value for money. The area and Dolomites overall are absolutely stunning and the skiing ample and varied.

I was very surprised at how good this hotel was. Okay, some of the rooms need a refurbishment but they are fine for a skiing week. Food was very satisfactory, with a good buffet breakfast and a buffet Evening meal. There was an extensive salad buffet, followed by soup and a choice of three starters, three mains to choose from and a dessert buffet. The house wine was very reasonably priced and of a good quality. Drinks from the bar were well priced and we were given lots of nibbles to go with them. The staff were extremely friendly and the two bar staff had a great sense of humour. The Wi-Fi was a bit intermittent while we were there but this wasn't really a problem for us. The heated ski room was fine, with enough boot heaters and enough space in and around it to get ready for skiing. The bus stops for Alba or Canazei were about 50 metres away and service was regular and on time. The path from the ski room to the main road can be tricky in ski boots when icy. Some of our party left skis and boots in Zondra Sports in Canazei village and highly recommended doing this.
