Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Base Camp Hotel offers guests clean and comfortable rooms equipped with modern facilities, including tea and coffee making facilities. Its location is a major draw, with the mountain gondola conveniently nearby, providing easy access to hiking trails, and some guests even received a discount voucher for the gondola. While some found the mattresses a bit too firm, the hotel benefits from a coffee shop next door offering breakfast and coffee, and the surrounding views of the snow-covered mountain top are amazing.
