“The perfect place, right in the middle of the action!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

This hotel was fabulous! We had a 4 night stay, with free breakfast every morning which was excellent, just what you needed before heading off to the ski fields.
The hotel is small, but that was great as it wasn't packed with people or school groups! The staff were always friendly and accommodating, which made us feel at home, and the rooms were lightly serviced every day. They were able to accommodate to our bedding and late check-in requirements which made for a pleasant stay. The rooms are basic, but a good size and featured just what we needed.
The location is perfect, only a few streets from the main town centre of Jindabyne, and It was a pleasure to get back to the hotel quickly after a long day of skiing!
Our only complaint was that the beds were a bit hard, but everything else made it best skiing experience we have had.
We would definitely stay here again!

Room Tip: We made requests from the hotel during the booking process. After this, we phoned them and the staff...

“Great, Friendly place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

We stayed in a twin room for 2 nights in late July and the room was fairly standard but clean. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good and the dinners were excellent value for money. The common areas were also great (especially the pool table).

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Overall was happy with this hotel for the family value. But must admit I was expecting more based on the other reviews and my previous experience of Trip Advisor ratings. Importantly, this property has changed hands in the last few months and was managed by caretakers (not the owners) while we were there. I think it showed. There was a drying room for the ski gear, and the family room was excellent. The kids enjoyed the computer games, Wii games and also playing pool. A shame we were all so exhausted after a day of skiing...otherwise could have made more use of this space. The room we were in had one queen and two single beds. It was clean but basic, with no view. The food was probably the biggest letdown based on some of the previous reviews. I think the menu has been reduced by the new owners. The bain marie pretty much destroyed the scrambled eggs if you didn't get in early enough (not sure what was happening with the grey layer on the bottom?), and some fresh fruit would have been nice at breakfast. Also, the dinner was a set menu of fairly basic fare.
We were skiing every day and found Jindabyne a good location to access Thredbo, Skitube, and Smiggins.
I would definitely consider staying here again as I think it represents great family value. Just didn't rise to the high expectations I have based on experience of Trip Advisor ratings in the past.

“Comfortable, secure and witin easy reach of all Snowy Mountain facilites.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2010

A summertime visit is a must!
From the Aalberg one can appreciate what is beneath the snow in wintertime.
The walking trail along the boardwalk through the fragile grasses and sedges to the patches of summertime snow at Mt Kosiusko is inspiring and challenging.
From the Ski Lift - the excitement of watching the the dangerous manoeurves of mountain bike riders decending the slopes which snow skiers go down in the winter.
Then being able to return to the luxury and welcoming hospitality of the management and staff with the bar and games/ loungeroom for relaxation.
