I passed the Christmas week in this hotel with my wife and 2 kids and must admit that I am very very satisfied. Here are my comments
Location - small walk from Aosta center (around 5 minutes with kids). Very near the train station as well. Taxi will cost around 5 euros.
Room - the room was very, very clean. Since we come from a relatively hotter country, it took us some time to find the right temperature setting for the night.
Reception - very willing to help in everything, extremely nice, especially Signior Carlo; very nice person indeed
Food - Breakfast is abundant and good. We stayed there for the Christmas lunch which was excellent, very good food and wine.
Pool and Gym- When I read the reviews before visiting the hotel I got the impression that the pool was too cold for winter. This is really not the case - the water is ok, sometimes even too warm. Gym is ok for a hotel, plenty of machines and some free weights. There is also a golf training area... children loved it
Children etc- Aosta is really cold in December, so we were in relatively early. There is a large children's room with games and kids DVDs etc. Our kids enjoyed it a lot; they spent hours playing with other children and never wanted to go to sleep. Very good relaxation area where you can just chill out.
So, overall if I would go to Aosta again, I would choose this hotel. People are very helpful, it is very clean and most importantly child friendly.
