Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Totem offers a modern and funky stay, placing you right on the snow, merely a minute's walk from the main gondola and ski lift. Guests appreciate the spacious and welcoming communal areas, particularly the dining and bar, and some have found the rooms to be uncluttered and spacious, especially those with a balcony. While the breakfast buffet is generally very good, a few guests noted occasional shortages or waiting times for refills. Convenient features include the in-house ski rental and a ski room at the bottom of the hotel.

Lovely Experience
packed breakfast great comfort hotel spa
I remember the receptionist preparing a packed breakfast. I had forgotten to pre-order it and she went out of her way to assist. The rooms offered great comfort. The hotel spa added to the experience.
I noticed a slight lack of variety in the buffet options. At times, some food items were depleted and awaiting replenishment. This could be addressed to enhance the overall dining experience.
