I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean, and the bed was comfy, making for a great night's sleep. The hotel even stores ski equipment, so I didn't have to lug it to my room. There were plenty of areas to sit quietly and read, which I truly appreciated.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were super fine, and my kids loved having their own space, although they were slightly on the small side and not totally clean initially. The staff was fantastic, especially Ildiko, George in the bar, and the cleaners who really went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location was great for both active summer holidays and relaxing for adults, with convenient access to the city and mountain lifts. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with a wide variety of delicious options, but I do wish I had explored more dining choices nearby. The facilities, including the heated indoor pool and fitness room, added extra value to our stay.

My stay at the hotel was lovely overall. The room, in the old part of the hotel, felt a bit dated compared to the modern amenities like the pool and restaurant. However, it was clean and well laid out with convenient ski storage lockers. The staff, from the manager to the chefs and cleaners, were friendly and efficient, always ready to assist with a smile.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were super fine, and my kids had their own spacious and well-appointed room. However, it could get quite warm in the evening. The hotel offered plenty of areas to sit quietly and read, which I enjoyed.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cleaned immaculately every day, and I loved the lovely surprise on my pillow. The view from the balcony was beautiful, but unfortunately, there was a stale, old urine smell that lingered, which was a downside. Despite that, the rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, offered great food, and had a homely feel.
