Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews explicitly note rooms are clean and well-kept (mentions in Dutch, Turkish and French), though one report of a strange smell in an initial room and shared-area plate handling lowers perfection.
Service
1
Mixed feedback: several positive mentions of friendly staff, but a serious service failure (no response to emergency number, no follow-up about lack of hot water/pressure) and some comments about poor reception quality justify an overall negative score.
Location
1
Location repeatedly praised (near airfield, convenient for ski stations and highway access, scenic mountain setting); occasional notes about being near parking/airfield causing possible noise.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as modern, spacious and well-equipped with comfortable bedding in many reviews; isolated issues include an odd smell in one room, one room layout (bunk-style beds) and a bed height concern for mobility-impaired guests.
Amenities
1
Amenities like the communal kitchen, well-stocked breakfasts, roof-top restaurant and card access are praised; some friction around self-service breakfast logistics and shared-space use.
Value for Money
1
Standard quality for this hotel tier — there is no explicit commentary about price/value in the reviews, so assigned target-level sentiment adjusted slightly negative to reflect mixed comments on breakfast/service.
Food and Beverage
1
Mixed F&B feedback: several reviewers praise the on-site restaurant and some breakfasts, but others call the breakfast meagre or poorly served (self-service) and note the restaurant being closed on a Tuesday — overall slightly negative.
Overall Experience
1
Many guests report a very good stay and intention to return; however, notable operational issues (water, emergency response, some noise and privacy concerns) temper the overall impression to mildly positive.

Tutto perfetto! Assolutamente consigliato
Pros:

La pulizia perfetta, la qualità della struttura in termini di arredi e lo stile scelto. La colazione ottima e assolutamente completa, con paste fresche, molti tipi di cereali, frutta secca e nel frigo latte, yogurt, salumi, formaggi e uova che si possono cucinare come si vuole (sode o alla coque con apposito apparecchio oppure strapazzate).

Cons:

Assolutamente niente

Redelijk voor een nacht.
Pros:

Rustige plaats snel aan te rijden, ontbijt stond klaar lekkere broodjes.

Cons:

Stapelbedden, suggestie dat er een dubbelbed was, toilet niet op kamer, maar via gemeenschappelijke ontbijtruimte te bereiken. Prijs laadpaal onduidelijk en heel hoge kosten voor normaal laden. Daarnaast was mij na Booking pas duidelijk dat restaurant gesloten was op zondag.

Great place to stay if you're exploring the area
Pros:

Great location, room with a balcony overlooking the little airfield.
The place is somewhere between hotel and hostel. Lots of thought and eye for detail has gone into it, and the fact there is a communal kitchen really works well.

Cons:

Was absolutely no problem, just a shame the restaurant wasn't open when we were there. Did not make our experience any worse, would have just liked to try the food as it looks delicious!

Concept sympas, à découvrir
Pros:

très beau concept (sur l'aviation). joliment décoré et très propre, personnel discret et sympas. cuisine en autonomie très pratique pour le petit déjeuner ou les petites fins hors ouverture du restaurant.
Le restaurant est très bon (fait maison) avec vue sur les décollages de petits avions et planeurs. Nous avons passé une très bonne nuit car l'insonorisation est bonne (on était au rdc près de la porte et cela ne nous a pas dérangé alors que l'hôtel semblait plein)
