Excellent breakfast, very good restaurant and very friendly and helpful staff. The room was super clean and comfortable. On checkout we got a small nut cake as present which was a nice and friendly gesture. The hotel is at a good location for anybody who wishes to visit the Mustair monastery.

Great hospitality, great food, great location, flexibility to meet my non standard schedule. And that homemade butter at breakfast...from another world

Kristjan Switzerland

This is the best hotel we have stayed at. This proves a hotel does not need to be 5 star to offer a fantastic experience. Claudia is superb and she makes you feel so at home. She can not do her job better!! It is obviously a hotel managed with care, experience and valuing their customers more than anything. Location, food, facilities, decoration, everything was tip top. We will definitely come back, as it was one of our top rated experiences.

Gaby Switzerland

The staff is very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The hotel is perfectly located for hiking trips and also easy to reach with public transport. I liked that it’s family owned and has a nice personal atmosphere. Also breakfast and dinner were really delicious, made of seasonal and local products. They were also flexible to accommodate special wishes which I appreciated. Highly recommended for individual and solo travelers too.

Stefanie Switzerland

Staff was great, the owner welcomed us with a lot of attention and personal touches and the hotel is kept perfectly, with a super relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious and very reasonable priced. Location is great to start exploring the area but also to relax and unwind in calm and authentic surroundings.
