“Decent hotel with a few caveats”

I’m surprised this is the first English language review in 2024. As there’s quite a few brits that stay at this hotel.

I’m surprised this is the first English language review in 2024. As there’s quite a few brits that stay at this hotel. Let’s talk about the positives first - plenty of food at dinner time and a good selection and a little free wine. We never went hungry. Though, as others have said, you do need to use the microwave as the vegetables are served cold. Also the portions given to you by the servers are those you might expect in prison. You have to ask for more each time. Not too sure why they’re so careful with their portion sizes. Breakfast was okay though. Of course, the sausages and bacon are European in nature and wouldn’t perhaps be suitable for those of us who are brought up on British food. This is a hotel that is mostly Italian and therefore it’s fine. The showers are very small. And if you try and shower after 6.30, the water is tepid at Best.. so be careful with your apres-ski. The rooms we were given are very small and the storage facilities are very limited. On the positive side, the beds were very comfortable and the temperature in the room generally acceptable. I would suggest the hotel rooms haven’t had a makeover since the 1980s. The bar area was very pleasant, and the prices not too bad . As others have mentioned, you do have to buy a prepaid card. This made a lot of sense in taking cash out of the equation. All of the staff were very pleasant indeed. The hotel was generally not noisy and so one that could be enjoyed by families . However, if you wanted some nightlife, the local town was a good 15 minutes walk away and buses stop at 8pm. Mind you, the local town isnt a hive of nightlife - this is not apres-ski central! With the restaurant timings it is good to be down reasonably on time as arrival anything over 30 minutes later than opening means that the food left is pretty much what you are left with. Sometimes this means no bread and other items, like desserts. Really disappointingly, and this is nothing to do with the hotel, we booked with Crystal who couldn’t be bothered to turn up at the hotel and also didn’t advise us on the resort/buses/ski hire/ski passes/ timings or anything else . We’ve had amazing holidays with Neilsens, including to the same town, and were amazed that Crystal pretty much got you on a bus at the airport and left you to it. No customer service whatsoever. The boot room is small and tends to be taken over by large groups. The spa facilities have to be pre-booked and are only free for one hour per week. The rest of the time it’s £15 per hour per person. There is no evening entertainment at this hotel.

“2 eeeks in January”

We went here for a fortnight from Jan 7th 2023 with Crystalski (They are a separate issue!) Overall the hotel exceeded our expectations.

We went here for a fortnight from Jan 7th 2023 with Crystalski (They are a separate issue!) Overall the hotel exceeded our expectations. Plus points:- Very handy for Alba or Canazei lifts via bus stops within 100 metres. However watch the hotel drive slope for ice! Buy your weekly bus ticket at reception (IF they have them!) Lots of ticket inspections. Our room 200?? was plenty big enough and with storage space but heard others were small. As ours was on the main road side we felt the need to close the shutters at night to mitigate road noise. The food was generally pretty good with plenty of choices. Always a soup, 3 pastas, then 3 mains. A few desserts/fruit. Always salad options. As others mention some dishes could do with being warmer! And cold plates never help that. Breakfast was OK. More continental than "Full British." The coffee drinkable. The screech juice not for me personally! The staff were generally very engaging. Not so plus points:- WiFi limited to reception area. Boot/ski room is too small when hotel is busy. That's especially at weekends. They look for you to take out a prepayment "extras" card which not everyone is happy about. They don't always have the full week bus tickets available! The food could be warmer but there is a microwave available and I did use it. Even for the coffee! Very popular with Italians also. Being gracious to say that they have their queue and ski room etiquette. Not a "mark off" but be aware that it is for families and not adults only. On a separate observation this is not an "Apres ski" type hotel. It is a +10 minute walk to town if you want the nightlife. We'd happily return as it represents better than decent value for money. The area and Dolomites overall are absolutely stunning and the skiing ample and varied.
