This was our first Ski trip, two adults for 5 days. Once checked in, headed upstairs to our room which was pleasant enough. Our room was compact, clean and fairly contemporary which was serviced every day. I read reviews about noise, but honestly there was nothing of any consequence while we were there, we even slept with the window open above a running river without any issue. We were expecting a lot more noise as we were directly over the bar, but .... nothing! Location is outstanding, 1 minute for the gondola and the 'AndBus' dropped and picked us up from right outside. Not to mention, it is directly opposite the Derby Irish Bar! We opted for half board, but be aware the menu is limited but did see they made fresh pizza on site too, although we didn't have any. Also, there is no attention to dietary requirements e,g, Vegan, but sure with some planning/communication before arrival, the staff could/would have arranged something. We also found the staff to be very friendly and had no issue with anyone. Breakfast was the standard european offering of breads, meat and cheese, cereal and pastries. For somewhere to sleep and occasionally grab something to eat, this hotel is excellent! Yes there are better hotels, but for the price it is very worthwhile. Lets face it, when you pay budget prices, you cannot expect Hilton grandeur. We would definitely stay here again as it was perfect for our needs. It only dropped a star for no Vegan option as stanard and the staff know about the kettle :)
