The rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with large windows and the convenience of controlling the temperature.

Central location, fantastic stay!

central locationhelpful staffluggage storagecar parking
The hotel is centrally located with everything within walking distance. The staff are cute and helpful. The room was clean. I found free luggage storage available while hiking, a HUGE plus.
The hotel lacks car parking. Locating private parking cost 20 euros per day. FINDING space on the streets for free is difficult.
Rooms
9/10
The room was very spacious, which I liked. large windows offered views of either the river or the mountains. The windows open for fresh air. This was IMPORTANT.
Dining
8/10
Breakfast includes a buffet. The buffet is basic but it is sufficient. The hotel bar downstairs offered a happy hour. This was great after a long day on the slopes.
