A wonderful find on our way to Zermatt! I wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was efficient, clean, and charming. The breakfast was stellar and the location is incredibly convenient to the train station. We didn’t get to use the spa, but it looked gorgeous. Don't hesitate to book!

A great choice in Samedan

Very nicely modernised old building in the middle of Samedan. Good and popular wine bar and separate restaurant. Great breakfast. Owners present daily but great service from staff too. Nice lounge area. Parking extra and tight. No dedicated spa area but free access to town spa.

Wonderful, stylish and friendly hotel. Love all the pine wood and the design that manages to be both modern and traditional at the same time. Terrific breakfasts, possibly the best we had in Switzerland (which is saying something). Delicious dinners in the intimate wine bar; wish we could have further explored the huge book of available wine. We chose Samedan somewhat randomly (didn't want to stay in St Moritz and needed to be on both the Glacier and Bernina Express lines) and ended up really loving the area. Don't miss the mineral spa. We might have shrugged it off - don't do that, it's such a nice and special place. We should have gone more than once! One last perk of the hotel that came in very handy was the regional transport card which saved us a lot, especially on gondolas and lifts in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hope to come back someday.

Réservation de dernière minute à cause d’une tempête de neige dans les Alpes. Belle trouvaille dans ce petit paradis de Semedan. Personnel accueillant et chaleureux, chambre propre et hyper silencieuse, excellent déjeuner inclus. Il y avait plusieurs belles prestations offertes (piscine, spa, bar à vins) mais nous n’avons pas eu le temps d’en profiter. Nous reviendrons…

comparado aos preços de St Moritz, foi ótimo...

Foi ótimo o hotel até nos deu direito a usar o SPA da cidade que foi maravilhoso, a única coisa que não achamos bom é que fica uns 15 minutos de St. Moritz e, o acesso de õnibus era um pouco difícil nesses feriados de Natal

Hotel bastante confortável. Funcionários da recepção muito atenciosos e cordiais. Localizado bem próximo à estação do trem e pontos de ônibus. Hotel oferece transporte público gratuito. Não utilizamos o SPA porque não levamos roupa de banho. Foi uma pena.

Centralissimo e confortevole

Situato sulla strada principale di Samedan, a poche decine di metri dalla cattedrale e dal municipio, è davvero comodo per una visita a piedi del centro storico. Purtroppo sono limitati i posti gratuiti di parcheggio auto, e non è facile trovarne uno libero (garage dell'albergo a pagamento per 25 Chf al giorno). Ottima l'accoglienza: anche se la lingua madre è il tedesco, quasi tutti i dipendenti masticano l'italiano. Molto disponibile la reception a sistemare per il Wifi il mio telefono. Ottimo confort della camera, servizio adeguato (anche se noi italiani vedremmo volentieri un bidè...); eccellente colazione compresa nel prezzo; ristorante "La Padella" al piano terra, con prezzi piuttosto alti. Personale squisito.

Fabulous stay

We had an amazing time at this hotel. Everything was excellent!! We ate at the restaurant and wine bar the 3 of the 4 nights we were there, the food and service at both were excellent. I would highly recommend this place. The spa that you have access to is amazing, perfect way to end the day. We were traveling with our 5 year old son and he did not want to leave this hotel. Our family travels a lot and this was one of our favourite hotel stays. You do have to take the bus to get to the ski hill but this really wasn't a problem, you catch the bus right in front of the hotel and it's only a 10 min ride into St. Moritz. We were very happy we booked this over staying right in St. Moritz. Wonderful hotel
