Short break trip with 6 friends in 3 junior suites half board. Arrived 12.30pm and rooms ready early, check in straightforward and very friendly/ welcoming. Hotel immaculately clean and communal areas finished to a very high standard with authentic warm decor. Good boot/ ski room (secure) with lift access to the outside so no stairs to trudge up in ski gear. Location is excellent 150metres to Ahorn lift and about 5mins max (in ski boots) to the Penken but you could jump on the free bus from the Ahorn if you were feeling lazy! Good range of bars and shops on doorstep. Rooms spacious and well appointed with comfy beds and huge balconies. Nice spa downstairs with sauna, steam, infra red sauna and relaxation room with a double water bed (go figure! but worth laying on for 20mins if you've never tried one) + range of ice cold/ hot showers and free beverages herbal teas/ juices on offer. Food was very good on the half board with good quality breakfast hot and cold food, juicer, excellent coffees and breads. Dinner 4 courses every night and all very good. Meat provided was very tasty but as the hotel owns a great butchers shop on the main street near the Penken lift (must visit and have a hot roast beef cob for lunch!! ) you would expect the quality of all the meat to be great. Hotel vibe is relaxed friendly where...Short break trip with 6 friends in 3 junior suites half board. Arrived 12.30pm and rooms ready early, check in straightforward and very friendly/ welcoming.

Hotel vibe is relaxed friendly where (semi) civilised groups and familes and couples will feel very comfortable. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and hard working and a real credit to the hotel. We had a late pick up on the leaving day but although we had to be out of the rooms by 10am the hotel kindly allowed us to use the facilities, boot room to store luggage whilst we skied and provided us with towels and access to the spa for showering before departure. Our group have skied a lot of resorts over the years but all felt that this was overall one of the best we have stayed in for value for money, location and relaxed friendly ambiance. Sorry to leave but will be back in the not too distant future.More
