This was just a one night stay for us after our train ride on the Glacier Express. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were large and very comfortable and they provided transportation form the train station to the hotel. It was obvious that this was a hotel that catered to bus tours. We were fortunate that our departure in the morning did not overlap with a bus departure.

The staff at Laudinella was very helpful and very friendly. However this is a large, busy hotel. Unfortunately we felt that the hallways always smelled of food in the building we stayed in.

The superior rooms were clean and comfortable, but do not expect to find a mini bar, coffee set up, room service, slippers or bath robe. You may want to bring your own accessories.

Laudinella is also very conveniently located. You can walk to the Signal Bahn and walk to the Cross Country tracks and it is a 20 minute walk into St. Moritz center.

My family stayed here for 1 week at the beginning of the ski and holiday season. We did not know what to expect, when comparing the Laudinella to all the other choices. We were a little concerned about the official St. Moritz / Engadin tourism rating as "unique" versus giving it a star rating like the others. No need to worry, unique suited our family with small children PERFECTLY. All concerns were laid to rest after visiting the rated establishments, only to find old/stuffy, pretentious, and overly expensive properties.

As it was not yet busy and high sesason, we were graciously upgraded to a junior suite instead of the family room that we reserved. Such a nice early Christmas present! This was greatly appreciated and next visit, we will happily pay for the upgrade. The rooms are not lavish, but perfectly functional and clean. The knotty pine motif is exactly what you might expect at an Alpine lodge. The hotel cat was very fun to find in various locations and the entire family enjoyed its special appearances throughout the hotel.

The desk staff was incredibly helpful and always available to assist with information, suggestions, or making calls on our behalf in German (as we are native English speakers). However, language was no issue with any of the desk or restaurant staff. The multiple restaurants were incredible as the food was always top notch and never disappointed! They happily accommodated our small children's tastes while my wife and I were able to enjoy varied adult cuisine that was fantastic. We enjoyed the restaurants so much, that we never ate anywhere else except for lunch while skiing. In addition, visitors and guests from other establishments were often frequenting the Laudinella's restaurants.

Your satisfaction with the location depends on what you are seeking. There isn't a great deal of activity in St. Moritz Bad, but we didn't find St. Moritz Dorf all too exciting either. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the Signal cable car lift for the Corviglia ski resort and a 130 second walk to the Bad Post bus stop which will take you anywhere you need to go with buses nearly every 10 minutes.

We can't wait to plan our next visit to St. Moritz and the Laudinella.

We went to Laudinella in march 2011 for a 5 day long weekend with our 2 kids (4 and 7). We had a big family room which was very nice and clean. The hotel has easy parking and a place to store your skis and shoes downstairs so you do not need to carry them around. It is walking distance to the gondola or you can take the bus, we walked with the kids. There is a good choice of restaurants in the hotel so you do not have to go out to get variety but at the same time you are close to other places if you want. We really enjoyed the hotel!
