Flims Hotels & Accommodations

We opted for the ”hotel service” with our apartment, which included towels, daily cleaning, ski locker, and breakfast. It was worth it to us. The kitchen was well equipped for our meal prep. The only downside was the size of the bedrooms and nightstands, as they are a bit small and the second room with two beds could use a lamp relocation. It appears the wall lights were installed with a single centered bed in mind, so when there are two beds, the lights are in the way of your head (see photos) and you might just knock into them. Otherwise, this was an excellent choice... great apartment, great location, great breakfast, and an included locker for your skis that was located slopeside (no lugging your equipment). It also had underground parking and easy walking to the lifts and restaurants.

One of the best mountain hotels I've ever tried. The rooms are nice and well managed. The furniture is very nice and accurate, mostly in the common areas. Most important, the staff is very friendly and they always find ways to satisfy your requests. Large and convenient internal parking. My only observations: the carpet on the floor in the rooms and corridors, the poor soundproofing in the rooms (you can hear next door guests almost all in rooms with the connecting doors) and also the television channels in Italian are almost all blacked out, which actually does not suit the level of the hotel. There is a good restaurant inside (they also make pizza in a wood oven) and other 3 excellent parnter restaurants just nearby. The breakfast is good, plentiful and with a good choice, both sweet and salty and also fruit. Very good SPA, fully optioned and very professionally managed (always clean, good herbal teas, clean towels, good COVID measures..). My personal greetings and thanks go to the spa manager! The pool is equipped with a number of interesting tools, to play and make various massages. Very convenient to reach the slopes of Laax: the main ski lifts are right in front of the hotel. To me this hotel is perfect for hedonist skiers!

Stayed here for one night in between trips on the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express. Whilst surrounded by spectacular mountains, the hotel is situated in a soulless commercial area about 2 minutes west of central Chur by train. There is half hourly train service to / from the centre of Chur (which I found similarly lacking in charm). Finding the entrance to the hotel on arrival at Chur West was not that easy, and improved signage from the station would be helpful for first time visitors. If you are travelling with luggage expect a fair walk uphill and some steps along the way. The adjacent shopping centre looked functional enough albeit that, like 99% of businesses in Switzerland, it was closed on our arrival early on a Saturday evening and all day on the Sunday. The hotel itself occupies the first 9 floors of a tower block which I think may have had residential properties or offices above it. The small lobby area was pleasant enough and our check in was smooth, courteous and polite. The room itself was clean and simply furnished, and it offered a fridge, a coffee maker, plenty of power sockets and a decent shower. Breakfast offered a good variety of items but sometimes in modest quantities, probably reflecting the fact that we seemed to be the only guests dining there on the Sunday morning. Some items were sadly of poor quality (the croissants had a dreadfully fatty taste rather than a buttery flavour) and some were poorly prepared (fleshy, fatty bacon is most undesirable). Whilst it was included in our room rate, the walk in cost of breakfast seemed eye-wateringly high given the shortcomings we experienced. Overall, as I’m unlikely to return to Chur I’d be unlikely to stay here again. If I knew anyone visiting the city I’d be unlikely however to recommend the hotel based on my experience which was nothing more than average.
