“Nice with some weaknesses”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

We stayed at Kongress Hotel Davos in August 2011 for a week. The hotel is located half way between Davos Dorf and Davos Platz, but since there is a bus stop right next to the hotel, it is easy to travel around the Davos area. Our room was on the 5th floor facing the Congress Center so the room was very quiet. There are however rooms that face the main road, so those rooms are probably not as quiet. There is also a construction site going on on the other side of the main road and they start working at 7 am so that noice might also be heard at some rooms.

The room itself was spacious and had 2 armchairs, so there was a place where to sit besides the beds. The balcony was small with plastic chairs and a table. Not very comfortable, but on the other hand there is so much to do at Davos, so you will not have time to sit on your balcony. The most unpractical thing about the room was that it had a wall-to-wall carpet so there is no place where to put your muddy shoes when you return from a mountain hike. Also the shower was very narrow since there was no shower curtain in the bath and when taking a shower you had to turn this plastic wall to protect water from splashing all over the bathroom. A normal shower curtain would have been a much better solution. The safe in the room was free and worked with a code.

We had halfboard and ate dinner at the hotel every night. The food was very good and it was a good solution, since it EUR CHF rate is so poor (1:1) at the moment, that eating out would have costed a fortune. A large beer at the hotel restaurant was 8 CHF, 0,5 litres of sparkling water 5,60 CHF, 2 dl of house wine 8 CHF and a drink (tequila sunrise) 15 CHF. However this price level seemed to be the same all over, so the hotel did not overprice their drinks. The breakfast at the hotel did not have as much choise as some big hotels do, but everyting was fresh and there was always plenty to eat.

Davos itself was a lovely place with excellent hiking paths in the surroinding mountains. There are suitable trails for everyone and you do not need to be an experienced hiker. And the views are just breathtaking...

“noisy and overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2010

I will start with the good - most of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. However, as they chrage the room rate by the person, our stay was in no way worth the over 300 CHF a night. We were woken up *every single night* by noisy skiers yelling and banging doors. We were then woken up every morning as the hotel is poorly built and you hear every details of your neighbor's shower. And speaking of showers, it is very poorly designed and was awful. The internet was WAY overpriced. Take your laptop into town as there are several places that offer free wi-fi.

Overall, I regret staying there. I would have walked farther to the conference center in the 20 degree F weather to avoid this place.

“Good choice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2007
2
people found this review helpful

This is a very pleasant hotel, modern, clean, friendly staff, internet access (pay per creditcard) in room, minisafe, excellent bath room, spacy rooms. Pleasant breakfast, good choice, very friendly staff, who even serve freshly squeezed orange juice at the table. Highlights: close to the conference centre (next door), close to swimming paradise/wellness (sauna) "Eau-la-la". Despite the funny name this is a excellent facility, with great fun for children and family, and a serious and 'zen' sauna landscape, including outdoor jacuzzi with view at the mountains. Only 2 minutes by foot from the hotel. Highlight in the hotel itself: massage (classical), very competent and very friendly staff, worth every Swiss Franc.

  • Liked — nice atmosphere, pleasant breakfast, good massage inhouse, location close to conference centre
  • Disliked — a bit out of the city centre

“Exceeded Expectations!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2007
5
people found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights during a conference last week.

Location: Right in the middle of Promenade. Easy to get everywhere. Cabs are expensive so take bus no. 1, 2 , 3 or 7 from outside Davos Dorf. Bust stop is right outside the hotel.

Upon check-in, everyone is given a free guest card which entitles you to free travel on buses and upto 20% discount on lifts.

Staff: Good, polite

Rooms: Room no. 207. Very spacious and clean. Every room has a balcony with nice views of the mountains. Bathrooms are on the smaller side but clean. Turn down service in the evenings is a nice touch.

Breakfast: Good variety - cheese, breads, crossoints, cereal, cold meats, scrabled eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, yogurt etc. You can have an omellete made right in front of you with your choice of fillings.

Dinner: Dinner was nice and the set menu is reasonably priced but hardly anyone seems to have dinner in the hotel

I would love to stay here again.

“Very pleasantly surprised by the Kongress”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2007

people found this review helpful

We decided rather late to take a week's skiing holiday immediately after Christmas, and the Kongress was the only hotel in Davos which could accommodate us (a family of 3). We expected the hotel to be lacking in atmosphere, thinking it to be aimed more at the conference market than holiday makers. It is a modern hotel, but has a lovely ambience mainly due to the quality of the staff, who are outstanding, from the Manager, who greeted us personally each evening, downwards. We have never felt so appreciated in hotel, and nothing was too much trouble. Our interconnecting rooms were clean, modern and very comfortable, and the food was very good - the breakfast buffet in particular was excellent. The position of the hotel in the town is ideal, next to bus stops (visitors receive free bus passes) and handy for both Davos Platz and Dorf. We will certainly stay there again.

  • Liked — comfortable, modern, well-managed
  • Disliked — lacked alpine charm
