05/04/2026: We stayed at this hotel for two nights in April, around Easter, as a base for a day at the spa. We booked and only read the reviews on Google, which made us a little worried, even though the reviews on other aggregator sites weren't that bad. Indeed, we have no regrets.
We booked on a breakfast-only basis (so we can't comment on dinners). The hotel is clean and tidy, and looks good both from the outside and in the rooms. Our room was small but had all the essentials in place, spotlessly clean, and the entire hotel appears recently renovated, with new fixtures and furnishings and thoughtful details, including the bathroom.
The bar service was used for aperitifs (with direct debit to your room), in a well-stocked bar and at very fair prices. Breakfast was typical hotel fare, with sweet and savory options. The cakes were perhaps packaged but of good quality, while the croissants seemed fresh from the oven and tasty. There was also an excellent selection of cereals, yogurt, fruit, and juices, and even a variety of savory options. Coffee and hot drinks were made by an automatic machine, but it did make me a decidedly excellent cappuccino, so I had that both mornings.
The location, just a few minutes' walk from the spa, was perfect for us.
Granted, the staff didn't seem particularly welcoming at first glance, but they were all very kind and helpful with all our requests.
Parking was a bit tricky at times, but then again, it's a hotel in the historic center of town. I didn't expect anything less, and I always parked on the premises anyway.
If we really wanted to find a flaw, the pillows were typical hotel pillows—low and soft. I personally needed two to sleep well.
We didn't use the indoor pool or ski room because we didn't have the opportunity/need to.
I personally recommend it; it doesn't reflect the negative reviews I've read here at all. In fact, for the price we paid, the stay was perfectly in line with our expectations.
We'll consider returning, perhaps at a different time.
04/04/2026: If your plan is to stay to go to the spa, the location is perfect, just a five-minute walk away. The reception staff is friendly, but the breakfast staff is a bit less so, clearing away your plate while you're still eating. Speaking of the rooms, they're clean, but really poorly maintained. The toilet was cracked, the plastic windowsill was broken, and the worst thing, in my opinion, was the lack of soundproofing. With the headboard against the wall, I could even hear my neighbor plugging in his phone, not to mention the sound of footsteps. Fortunately, since we only moved the car a short distance, we didn't have much trouble finding parking, but there are very few spaces.
