luggage concerns

Friendly staff and a prime location near the gondola and bus stop enhanced the experience. Breakfast featured a variety of juices and square hamburgers. The room was quite noisy, disrupting sleep, and the early check-out process was awkward, raising concerns about luggage safety during hikes.

Clean as a whistle and offers stunning mountain views alongside the First station. The rooms are super comfy and come with everything you need, plus that killer view. Right by the bus stop for easy access to all the other ski spots 🚌.

The cozy rooms and easy check-in process were definitely a plus. the rooms had a sink, closet storage space, and even a small private balcony. the shared bathrooms were clean and they provided towels. the breakfast spread was delicious, with a variety of options including breads, cheese, meats, and granola. Another great thing was the close proximity to the main attractions. Plus, they offered free bus privileges within the city and a discount on the cable car.

One drawback was the location, which required a 15-minute walk from the train station and a small uphill climb. the room and bathroom lights were too dim, making it difficult for showering and working.
