Great Stay Above the City

tasty choices dinner option easy access
I found the breakfast had many tasty choices. I appreciated that dinner was an option in the restaurant. The hotel provides easy access to the train. It runs to the city center in about 20 minutes.
The steep walk from the tram stop to the hotel was challenging. It felt longer than fifteen minutes.
Location
9/10
The hotel is situated above the city, offering wonderful views. The surrounding area includes nature trails for hiking and exploring. Public transport is easily accessible, allowing convenient travel to and from the city center.
Rooms
8/10
My room included a comfortable bed, aiding restful sleep. The bathroom featured a floor-even shower. Individually controlled HVAC was unavailable. The temperature adjustment was limited, and the ventilation ran constantly, made the air dry.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel bar and entrance fireplace created a cozy environment. The ski jump behind the hotel is a great feature. It adds to the unique setting. There are also newly renovated rooms and nice shared spaces like the bar.

underwhelming experience

), and of course, it was fully booked upon arrival. this meant no swimming for me . also, the restaurant menu felt quite limited, and i ended up having to travel elsewhere for more appealing options. this wasn't ideal after a long day.
