Hotel histórico
Pros:

Hotel histórico, con una decoración muy agradable de montaña. Buen desayuno

Cons:

En la habitación hace mucho calor y no hay aire acondicionado. El sofá cama de la habitación familiar era bastante incómodo.

Tolle Atmosphäre mit Mängeln
Pros:

Das Haus hat seinen eigenen Charme. Es macht sehr viel Spass einfach durchs Hotel zu laufen und es zu erkunden. Man kann viele Dinge unternehmen und es gibt viel zu erkunden. Der Parkplatz sowie das Wellnesscenter sind im Preis enthalten. Das Frühstück war gut und das Personal ebenfalls nett. Wir würden trotz Kritik erneut anreisen. Anmerkung meiner Freundin: Es gibt so bisschen Resident Evil Vibes/Horrorfilmatmosphäre.

Cons:

Es müssen unbedingt umfassende Modernisierungsarbeiten durchgeführt werden. Das Badezimmer war gar nicht gut. Im Wellnessbereich sollte man darauf achten das Regeln eingehalten werden. Es ist sehr unangenehm wenn Gäste mit ihrem Smartphone im Whirlpool sitzen oder kleine Mädchen in der Männerumkleide sitzen. Der Poolbereich war außerdem sehr dreckig. Es wäre sehr schade, wenn man dieses wunderschöne Haus verkommen lässt.

Pros:

Struttura un po' vintage, ma molto bene tenuta e con un certo fascino montano nordico
Staff gentile; soggiornando solo una notte di passaggio non abbiamo potuto provare spa e piscina, ma di servizi ce ne sono molti, così come i locali comuni di diverso tipo all'interno della struttura. Buona la colazione con ampia scelta sul salato, più ridotta sul dolce.
Camera spaziosa con vista sulle montagne (oltre la ferrovia) ed estremamente silenziosa per un buon riposo.

Cons:

Il bagno piuttosto piccolo in relazione alla camera

Ærverdig hotel med kaldt personal
Pros:

Ærverdige hotell, fin miks av gammelt og nyere interiør.
Rom 245 hadde fått badet nylig opppusset, og var romslig med sittegruppe for 2. Kjøleskap men ikke vannkoker heller ikke te/kaffe på rommet. Rituals såpedispenser på badet.
Sengen var god men litt knirkete. Sengetøyet virket å være i god kvalitet.

Frokostbuffet var god og innholdsrik.

Cons:

Kaldt personale på spisesalen og salongbaren. (De var oftest unge) Av 4 jeg møtte var det kun én som var positiv til hilsning og smil. De andre virket «non-challante». Synd for hotellet.

Et par lyspærer var i ustand, en stikkontakt uten strøm. En stor teipe henger fortsatt midt på himlingen etter noe fra tidligere, merkelig.

Fantastisk opphold
Pros:

Nydelig fireretters middag! Flotte omgivelser med historie.

Cons:

Veldig varmt på rommet og hotellet. Men hvor ofte er det 31°c på Geilo…

Pros:

Har alltid likt kombinasjonen av spa, svømmebasseng, boblebad og at det ligger litt høyt i terrenget. Dr.Holms sine kloke ord om velvære, helse, god mat og å nyte naturen er lett å forsøke følge.

Cons:

Temperaturen i spise salen er veldig høy, tror sett temp kan med fordel settes lavere.
