    Location overlooking picturesque Filisur and proximity to Landwasser Viaduct. (Note ask staff best way to it. Do not follow Google maps on highway.) This was an impressive historical structure, Clean room, with comfortable bed and includes bath in bathroom. Stayed cool after heat of day. Quality restaurant for evening meals and very diverse and enjoyable breakfast. Walking distance from station complemented by local bus service. Friendly staff with a sense of humour.

    Nothing, would have liked to stay longer. Was good to stay in relatively small village compared to the hustle and bustle in larger centres.

    Comfortable beds, lovely location

    We arrived via the Glacier Express at about 5pm & the hotel looked closed as it was unlit. We let ourselves in through the open door & found our way down to reception but there was nobody there. We then found an envelope with our names with a room key & had to find our way to our room in the dark. Appreciating that there might have been a good reason for the hosts to be away, we would have at least expected a phone call or email explaining the arrangements. It was extremely unwelcoming and we didn't enjoy our stay The room was basic, the bathroom door wouldn't close & the shower leaked water all over the floor. The balcony floor was dirty & the paint on the railings faded & flaking. The doors needed painting & the internal decor was of a very low standard. One of the reasons we booked was that the hotel apparently offered a jacuzzi but there was nobody there to switch it on. There was also a sign saying it cost 12 chf per person! The following morning we eventually found our way to the breakfast room & there was very little choice. We decided on cereals but there was only enough for a small portion each. In all we felt it was terrible value for money, poor service and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

    Property response:

    Dear Guests, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to know you are satisfied with our rooms and location. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your other expectations, and we would like to clarify a few points: Your arrival happened to be on our weekly Ruhetag (rest day), but we still had staff present in the building. Our colleague could have come to the reception at any time. We had prepared your room key and clearly marked it at the reception desk, along with a telephone number to call in case you needed assistance. Unfortunately, we did not receive any call from you. The balcony in your room is made of natural stone slabs, which is part of our hotel’s rustic charm. The bathroom in your room was newly renovated just two years ago. Guests who stayed in the same room immediately before you checked out on the same day and had no complaints. After your departure, we inspected the room again and did not find any issues. During your stay, we also received no call or message regarding a bathroom problem—had we known, we would have gladly arranged a room change for you. Regarding the lighting: our hotel is generally bright. In some common areas, we use motion-sensor lights as part of our energy-saving efforts. The jacuzzi requires regular maintenance and supervision, which is why we charge a small fee. We ask guests to inform us in advance so we can prepare it properly. It is located on the terrace, and it’s unfortunately not possible to have staff standing by 24/7—but you can call us at any time, and we’ll be happy to assist. Lastly, we were surprised by your comment about the breakfast, as we always offer a varied and fresh selection. We regret that your experience did not reflect this and will certainly review what may have gone wrong that morning. We always strive to provide a comfortable and welcoming stay for all our guests. We’re sorry that this was not your impression, and we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to improve. Kind regards,

    Dear Guests, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to know you are satisfied with our rooms and location. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your other expectations, and we would like to clarify a few points: Yo… Show more

    Breakfast was included for my stay - a good selection (though no cooked :-)

    Nothing as such. I should've taken the bus up the hill to the station rather than trundling my luggage up slowly

    Here’s a friendly and professional reply you can post on Booking.com: ⸻ Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our location and felt warmly welcomed.

    The staff were very attentive to our needs and made every effort to make our stay comfortable.

    The hotel is a little far from the train station but the staff kindly drove us there on departure.

    Thank you! Here’s an updated version of your reply that includes this clarification: ⸻ Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, especially the comfort of your room and the attentive service from our team. Just to clarify for future guests: the hotel is actually not far from the train station. During your visit, the road was under renovation, which made the walk a bit less comfortable — but now it’s all in great condition again. There is also a bus that takes just 2 minutes (one stop) directly to the station. We’d be delighted to welcome you back soon!

    The breakfast was great! And there is a Coop right down stair. We also ate dinner at the restaurant. It's quite good. The people at the reception is very welcoming. I love the bed and the bedding. Both were very comfortable. And the view outside our patio is so pretty. We saw stars and the moon at night right from our patio. The hot water from the shower is very comfy. Overall, we love our stay!

    I thought it’s only 300m away or something from the filisur station but it’s a bit further, maybe because there are slopes along the way and I have my luggage with me so I had a little hard time. But I still enjoyed my stay because the place is cozy and near from my target to visit which is the landwasser viaduct. The girl from the reception even thought me how to go there efficiently. 🙂

    Although it is a basic room, I think a kettle so that I could make a hot drink would not be too much to ask for the price paid.

    The hotel is in a very quiet nice position, a steep but pleasant walk from the station. The staff was nice and friendly. A great breakfast ensured a start with a bang in the morning, we all really liked it

    The restaurant attached was overexpensive, low quality and with poor service (friendly but extra slow). As there are few options in Filisur itself this may become a problem, though more possibilities are available in Bergun.
