Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel during the Christmas period. The festive decorations were beautiful, and the food was absolutely top-notch, making dining a highlight of my stay. The staff were incredibly attentive, which enhanced the entire atmosphere. However, I noticed that the drink prices were a bit steep, and during my second visit, the view from my room wasn’t as pleasant due to the dustbins outside.
I had a lovely time at this hotel during my Christmas stay. The festive decorations were stunning, and the food was truly exceptional, really elevating the experience. I enjoyed the sauna and spa facilities, but I did find the views from my room disappointing due to some dustbin visibility. Also, the prices for drinks were on the higher side, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it’s a great spot for a short getaway if you want to relax and enjoy fine cuisine while being close to ski slopes.
