Despite the noisy and overcrowded atmosphere around the bar area that affected the room's livability, my stay at the hotel was surprisingly cosy, quiet, and clean. The location offers a ski-in convenience but also comes with some drawbacks like loud bar music disrupting communication. Service was top-notch with kind and knowledgeable staff, with a highlight on the chef's dinner service. The dining experience was lackluster, featuring old and unappetizing food, though prices seemed reasonable. The hotel's facilities were generally satisfactory.

The hotel has a prime location just under Marmolada and close to Civetta ski resort, making it an ideal spot for skiing enthusiasts. The service was incredibly helpful and always friendly, enhancing the overall stay. However, the room was extremely small and dark, and the dining experience left much to be desired with nothing fresh and subpar coffee served.
