What guests think

At Christiania Lodge, travelers consistently praise the unbeatable Vail Village location steps from Gondola One and the genuinely friendly staff, while noting the property’s charming, older character with some dated areas and limited on-site amenities.

Guests frequently mention very clean rooms, a heated pool and hot tub, convenient ski storage, and on-site parking. Recurring drawbacks include no air conditioning (rooms can run warm in summer), occasional maintenance or noise issues, and on-site breakfast that is a la carte with mixed feedback and clarity. Overall, expect a charming lodge with friendly service and solid essentials, with trade-offs like summer warmth and dated touches.

The staff was delightful! The bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean, and service was excellent throughout the stay. The lodge itself is very fresh and pleasant considering the age. The location is absolutely perfect. The heated pool on a winter night is unforgettable.

What a darling, quaint, convenient place & the proximity to gondola one was amazing. Totally loved the giant hot tub pool & ski/boot storage. The breakfast option was a bit unclear - I never used the option but would have liked to. Parking was excellent. Staff were very nice.

The hotel does not have air conditioning. It needs refurbishing. Housekeeping opened my door on two separate occasions when the do not disturb sign was out. I use noise canceling earbuds for phone calls and did not hear them knock. Room was quite noisy as windows needed to be open and a 10 year old box fan put into one window to cool down the room. No valet, to park car you have to get card from front desk, open lot gate with card, park and return card. Not pleasant after dance performance late at night in rain. Pool is kept at 90 degrees F so not a place to cool off during day. I would not stay there again in the summer. Ski season might be different.

Only negative was that there is no a/c or ceiling fans and we stayed during a heatwave but with fans provided and open windows the room was pretty comfortable as Vail cools down at night. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

This property is located in the heart of Vail Village, making it easily walkable to lots of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Everyone on staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The room was clean and well equipped. Our stay in Vail was during a particularly warm time (with temps in the 80s each day), so a fan in the room would be helpful for those hotter days. Our only other complaint was the pillows, which were very flat and probably needed to be replaced. If we ever return to Vail, we would definitely consider Christiania Lodge.

The location is excellent. It's right next to Gondola One. The heating in the room broke and the room was freezing cold. The bathroom made a loud whining noise a few times every night. The room was next to the street so you'll hear people late at night. The water temperature in the shower jumps up and down so you will freeze or burn yourself. To access the outdoor car park you must first walk inside to get a special key which is a bit inconvenient. Also you're not guaranteed a parking spot which is ridiculous if you're paying extra for it. The room is old and shabby but it's cozy.

A little tired, but great location. The property is a little tired, but still quaint and "good enough" for the price for a beautiful and inspiring couple of days in Vail. Right next to the old Vail Village, but removed and protected enough to be quiet and peaceful. Right at the base with great access to trails. No food service and pretty poor coffee in the morning. No major complaints - just make sure your expectations are not upscale Vail with everything ship-shape and new.

Everything you may need for a great ski vacation. Location is awesome, our room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy with a great view. Solid wood, handcarved furniture throughout and a true Swiss Chalet vibe. Heated pool and tub offer apres ski fun. Appreciated the protein bars that were out for grabs. Wish there was a microwave in the breakfast area that guests could use as well as a gym. All in all, I feel we got great bang for our bucks.

We love the ski in ski out option, closeness to slopes and the pool/hot tub facing the slopes. Auch a unique austrian looking property. Comfortable and plenty of space. One downside this year to our stay 4 years ago was no breakfast service, unless you paid for it. 4 years ago it was included and plentiful.
