Clean and fresh room, a very nice spa area, and excellent breakfast and service. Despite being located on the main street, it was very quiet at night. Only 3 minutes from the train station and right in the center of everything. The hotel also offers a very spacious ski room, which is perfect for winter stays, as well as a billiard table for those who enjoy playing. There is also a restaurant and bar at the hotel - one of the best in the village. We would definitely come back!
