Schönes, kostengünstiges Hotel für Ausflüge
Hatten nur eine Nacht Aufenthalt und sind nicht die klassische Zielgruppe dieser Hotelgruppe. Keine Gläser auf den Zimmern und billige Schaumfüllung bei den Kissen. Aber das ist schon das einzige was es zu bemängeln gibt. Frühstück top. Schöne Lage.

Die Lage ist natürlich Top. Nur ein paar Schritte rüber zur Gondel. Die Zimmer waren sauber und zweckmäßig. Beim Frühstück muss man sich die Eier selber machen, was ich persönlich jetzt nicht so toll finde. Die Pfannen sind für Eierspeisen überhaupt nicht geeignet und die Herdplatten werden nicht schnell heiß. außerdem steht man sich bei der Station ständig im Weg. Würde aber trotzdem jederzeit wieder buchen.

Fijn hotel
Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
Locatie van het hotel is goed met een mooi uitzicht op de bergen en alles in het dorp is op loopafstand.
Hotel is niet super luxe, maar schoon en netjes en heeft alles dat je nodig hebt voor een (kort) verblijf.
Goed, uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet.
