Old furniture and not really good mattress but very clean. Decent breakfast, kind staff, but not always helpful and sometimes wait too long to respond. The view is great.

Once a grand hotel now rather dated redeemed by an excellent spa. Needs a total refurbishment. No concierge to advise on mountain walks, no maps etc. out of season but only one of three restaurants open.
