My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall! The location is fantastic, nestled in a charming alpine village with easy access to local attractions. The rooms are well-designed and functional, making for a comfortable experience. While the service was friendly and helpful, I did find the reminder to check out a bit too abrupt. Dining was delightful, with delicious local offerings. I felt I got good value for the price, even though the Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offered a warm and comfortable atmosphere perfect for relaxation after visiting Therme Vals. While the rooms were cozy and clean, I did feel a lack of personal touches and decoration during my three days there. The staff were friendly and accommodating, although I found the check-out reminder a bit abrupt. The location was fantastic, integrated well with the local culture and close to scenic walking paths and dining options.

I had a lovely stay that offered great value for money. The rooms were cozy and clean, which was just what I needed after a long day at Therme. The staff was incredibly warm and friendly, and I appreciated the improved breakfast selection. However, the size of the rooms might be a bit small if you're looking for something spacious, and while the location is good, it might not be as central as other options.

This hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, plus the staff is really friendly, making for a welcoming stay. The location is fantastic, close to the Therme Vals and great for walks. However, the ceilings in the rooms are a bit low, which might not work for everyone. Overall, it’s a solid place to rest your head at a reasonable price, especially after a day at the spa.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the center of town with easy access to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful too. However, my room felt a bit claustrophobic and lacked good air circulation. Overall, it offers good value for the price, especially compared to similar places.

The hotel is situated in the heart of the village, making it a really convenient place to stay. The staff was helpful and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms could use a bit more personality as they felt quite bare, and the surroundings were sometimes noisy with neighbors enjoying barbecues. Overall, it’s a decent option for a stay, especially given the location.

I had a cozy stay in this hotel which is nicely integrated into the village atmosphere. The location is perfect for walking around and heading to Therme Vals, plus the friendly staff really made the difference. On the downside, my room felt a bit claustrophobic and could use more ventilation. Overall, it was a warm, comfortable place to rest after a day of exploring, and the value for money seemed fair.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located for walks and easy access to the Therme Vals. The rooms have a cozy mountain lodge vibe, but my ground floor room lacked a view. The staff were extremely thoughtful and the breakfast was a highlight. Although the service was a bit distant at first, it improved significantly. Overall, it's great value for money compared to other options in the area.
