We pre-booked this hotel, and were glad we did after the previous nights impromptu stop in France. It took a little while to find the hotel, even though it is in a prominent hilltop position. And then it took a little while longer still to find the carpark (15 Euro a night!) for it.
We paid about 75 Euro for the one night, plus 30 Euro for the car park and a bottle of wine with dinner. The dinner buffet style was very good, with the option of other stuff, ie Salmon or Fillet steak if nothing on the buffet was to our liking, The staff were most pleasant and efficient, in the restaurant and the reception. The restaurant enjoyed a lovely position with a view over town and a few distant snow topped mountains. Unfortunately the room they gave us didn't afford the same views as we were facing the front, and the busy road and hillside 'allotments'. Oh well, it was for one night only and the room wwwas absolutely quite very good, sky telly, minibar and that.
The swimming pool area was locked, but opened promptly when we phoned down to reception. This was a lovely area with rooftop sunbathing (but not for us in April), a swimming pool, a (smelly water) jacuzzi, a very good mens and ladies separate sauna. Also there was a small gym, altho locked up again.
Breakfast again was excellent. Friendly service, excellent choice of european type breakfast and our more gut busting english ingredients. Gone were the ants from the previous nights dinner I forgot to mention. Nobodies fault, but my 4 yr old daughter dropped her napkin on the floor as she went to the buffet. When she came back and picked up the napkin it was covered, well two or three ants dropped on to the table and her frock. She ain't the quietest little girl when she sees insects on her!
Another small negative was the carpark. The signs in town point you to the bottom of the hotel in town. That entrance is not used, and not even marked as the hotels carpark. So after half an hour looking around and asking found out it is at the side of the front entrance, which involves a tricky almost 180 degree manoeuvre on a very fast road. once inside the catacombs of the hotel, you gotta breathe in to negotiate the pillars and turns. Judging from the scrape marks on the walls it has claimed a few victims. And they charge YOU 15 Euro for the pleasure.
The position of the hotel is good. It is set high to be out of town as such, but take the two sets of lifts down to the bottom and you are out onto ground level in the heart of the shops.
A mixed review from me here... certainly more positives the negatives. The negatives or trivial really, but that is what reviews are all about.
Tip.. ask for a town view room if you can get one, we should have because the hotel wasn't busy, but couldn't be bothered going back down to reception after a longish drive.
