Really lovely hotel but ski hire staff incredibly rude, rooms on the front of the hotel very noisy and slope view doesn’t always mean slope view as I was told to go onto my balcony and look left to see the slopes 🙄 view from room was dirty rooftops and messy car parks.

Pleasant family stay

Very happy with the hotel, this is our 3rd stay. Promptly accommodated my requests. Cleaning and fresh towels (if you wanted) every day, good spa and pool, food was ok, would definitely return. No film channel in English was the only negative.
