Très bel hôtel sur le chemin dans le sud avec super spa
Pros:

Le luxe de l’endroit, le confort des chambres, la petite salle de sport et le spa compris dans le prix avec mini piscine chaude et sauna en pleine nature. La mise à disposition de peignoirs et chaussons dans les chambres.

Cons:

Tout était très bien juste prévenir que les chambres économiques qui donnent sur la montagne sont à demi-enterrées. Le prix un peu excessif.

Comfortabel, goed gelegen en lekker eten
Pros:

Prachtig hotel, mooie locatie als uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes rondom de gletschers. Uitstekend restaurant.

Cons:

De douche haperde, alleen erg warm water en alleen de lage douche kregen we aan, maar er werd gelijk een klusjesman gestuurd. Daarna kregen we juist alleen de hoge douche aan. Maar dat hebben we maar zo gelaten.

Very enjoyable.
Pros:

Breakfast and evening meal were excellent. Friendly staff. Nice decor and well thought out ideas in the bedroom.

Cons:

Breakfast plates and cereal bowls need better organisation to prevent queues. Day 1 long slow queue to get into breakfast. Staff couldn’t cope with demand for tables. Day 2, fine, no problem. The unit holding the coffee maker in the bedroom was very dark and had no light. My husband hit his head five times.

Tolles Hotel mit kleinen Schwächen
Pros:

Tolles modernes Hotel mit sehr hohen Räumen. Sehr gutes Abendessen und Frühstück. Schöner Ausblick.

Cons:

Spa Bereich sehr klein. Beim Restaurant Eingang ignorierte man uns minutenlang, bis sich jemand erbarmte und uns zum Tisch brachte. Das war unhöflich. Der Service selbst war dann ausgezeichnet.
