I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, especially for skiing enthusiasts. The rooms were fully equipped, complete with a small balcony offering stunning mountain views and a convenient place to store ski gear in the basement. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the ski slopes and a great starting point for hikes. The service was friendly and helpful, although not the most hospitable at times. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a variety of self-service options. Overall, a great choice for a ski holiday!

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms provided a cozy atmosphere with a small balcony and seating area by the window, perfect for enjoying some bar-snacks, pizza, salads, or a refreshing drink in the evening before hitting the ski slopes. However, the service could be improved in terms of the winter clothing provided in the room and the quality of ingredients used. The location was excellent for ski enthusiasts, just a short 5-minute walk to the Hinterstoder Piste, ideal for those who love mountain sports activities. The dining options were varied and satisfying, especially for a self-service setup with a great choice of dishes. The facilities added to the convenience of the stay, though there is room for enhancement.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were funky furnished and spacious enough to store my skis and equipment in the basement after a day on the slopes. Although the rooms were quite warm, I missed having air conditioning for sustainability reasons. The service, on the other hand, wasn't the most hospitable, but I would be more than happy to stay there again!
