Pontresina is a good location if you are interested in seeing the local area by bus and / or train, cross-country skiing or winter walking. The Hotel Bernina is comfortable and the service was particular good - friendly and discreet. The single room supplement is small and there were several single travellers staying. The breakfast and half-board restaurant has a good view and the food was enjoyable with a choice of main course, staff were very helpful and special dietary requests were catered for without fuss.
The hotel is described on the MySwitzerland website as being in an especially quiet location. The rooms themselves were spacious and very quiet - no sound from adjacent rooms. However the hotel is on the main road through town, not set back as some of the other hotels are and traffic, particularly snow ploughs, could be noisy in the early morning if you had the window open. So quiet, but not especially quiet. A residents lounge with a view would have been nice.
The bus stop is opposite the hotel and the train station about 5 minutes walk downhill (more going uphill!) and the hotel will meet you at the station on arrival. A trip on the Bernina Express to Poschiavo is particular recommended.
