I was upgraded to an immaculate and spacious room with a fantastic bathroom that included a large balcony overlooking the mountains, including the North Face of the Eiger. The room was quite big, which was a huge hit with my 13-year-old son. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, offering services like laundry, shuttle service, ski pass vendor, and paid shuttle service. The location was peaceful yet central, making it easy to walk to the village but a bit further from the spots we visited. The dining experience was superb with a wide variety of delicious and plentiful options. The facilities were top-notch.

Our room was roomy and comfortable with a very large deck overlooking the south ridge glaciers and gorgeous flowers. It was spacious and very clean, offering an awesome view of the mountain and village. The hotel location was ideal, not far from the shops/restaurants but far enough from the main center to avoid crowds. The dining experience filled us up for the whole day with an amazing view.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute joy! The rooms are excellent with super new bathrooms and ethnic interiors, opening onto a beautiful lawn and garden with a delightful patio and stunning mountain views. Everything is modernized with en-suite facilities and balconies, making it a truly comfortable stay. The public spaces, including the patio, covered porch, bar, game room, and laundry facilities, are all inviting and well-appointed. The only downside was the slightly higher price point, but the value for money is still worth it.
