I came here on a school ski trip and we didn't have such a good experience as everyone else seems to. The rooms were very small and cramped, ours felt as if it had had an extra bed squeezed in for us because there weren't enough rooms. They didn't seem properly cleaned, there was a huge amount of dust under the beds (which may sound very petty but if it wasn't cleaned there, what else wasn't cleaned?) Two of the hinges on the main door were broken. There were no easily accessible plug sockets (one way up on the wall, one in the bathroom), The bathroom was tiny, had mould up the wall and one of the insulating shields from the electricity cables came off (again may sound petty but could be very dangerous). One of my friends had a shower that didn't work. We did, however, see some of the teacher's rooms at the end of the trip and they were bigger, lighter and much better cared for, with bathrooms that were clean
We also had trouble with the food. I'm vegetarian and there were several of us on the trip that were. The food we recieved was very unpleasant and we ended up buying food from the supermarket and keeping it in our rooms so we wouldn't go hungry. On the upside, the starters were huge which meant we could get away with just eating the starters and leaving the main courses.
We were a party of girls, aged between fourteen and eighteen. Although the owners are meant to be very friendly, especially towards young people, they seemed to us quite hostile. However they did seem fine with being polite to the teachers and other guests.
Overall, although we enjoyed the skiing, the hotel was not a great experience and maybe should be avoided if you have a party with teenagers or vegetarians in.
