Wonderful family business with deep roots in Alpine culture
Pros:

The Steinbock is a wonderful little family-run hotel deep in the Alps. Very traditional, well-designed interiors, high-quality breakfast and dinner, comfortable rooms and good location at the Southern end of Pontresina. The staff is very nice and attentive, and we also received an impromptu taxi ride to the train station after checkout, which helped us a great deal. Access to the spa next door was included even in our shared-bathroom economy room reservation, which was splendid. Overall a pleasant experience!

Cons:

This is not a slight to the staff at Steinbock, they did a great job, but in the Engadin Valley you will be served in at least three languages per sentence. It is sometimes very confusing and may lead to misunderstandings. Prices in Switzerland are always difficult for middle-class foreigners.

Passabel - valabel
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Gutes Frühstück, verschiedene Müesli. Das Ticket für den öV. Zugang zum Wellness. Die nahe Lage zur Post und der Haltestelle.

Cons:

Das war mein Fehler: Ich hatte übersehen, dass man WC und Dusche mit anderen teilen muss. Das Zimmer war im 2.Stock oben (ohne Lift), hatte schräge Holzbalken, wo man sich den Kopf anschlagen kann, zudem leicht verschiedene Levels.- Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass man für so einen recht happigen Preis so etwas Einfaches bekommt- aber ich hätte es eigentlich wissen müssen in einem Touristen Hotspot wie Pontresina.

Nichts.
