“Friendly staff but noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

The staff of this hotel is very friendly.
Rooms are large, yet globally the hotel is quite old and should be renovated.
The problem is that the rooms are very noisy: you ear people walk in the corridors (and there are a lot!).
More problematic: on the last night they had a "private party" with music like in a club. That was from about 11PM until 4PM. And the rooms are just above the area where it happens.
We were proposed a room in an other building across the street (but without linen!!) and we had to migrate at about 1PM. Hence I think that the owners of this hotel do not respect their customers by mixing private parties and regular guests.

“Check other hotels, not this one!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

As said in previous reviews, do not go until you've heard they renovated the place. The hotel has great potential - location, great views from high floor rooms, but needs substantial investment. Old furniture, cave-like experience when you move from one area of the hotel to another, bathroom fixtures are old. A 2** hotel.

Room Tip: Only high floor rooms with a view to the valley.

“Look for another hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

This hotel is not representative of a 4 star hotel as presented but it could be with a substantial investment. We stayed here in mid-June and were very disappointed. This hotel has great bones but has not been updated in years and is showing it. Best thing it has going is the view from the upper floors. The rooms are void of any decorating, not a single piece of art on the walls. The furniture is extremely dated and very cheap. The bathrooms are OK at best but again, extremely sterile. Public space is outdated, dark and dreary. The painted ceilings and beams are fantastic and would really stand out if everything below them were updated. The staff was fine but limited this time of year. The pool area has great potential but again has really cheap K-Mart quality furniture around it. Until you hear that they have renovated, book elsewhere.

“VERY expensive 2* experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2011

Having booked last minute for a four-day stay in Crans-Montana in the February peak season we had no choice but to choose one of the last rooms available in the village.
Supposedly a four-star hotel, we paid 420 chf per night for what was actually a small, dark, dingy and dirty room (the carpet was badly stained) with an admittedly very nice view .
The public hotel areas were not in use - there was a cosy underground lounge with a fireplace that was seemingly closed (lights switched off and chairs pushed aside) and the bar also had no guests. Every time we passed the reception area, the Front Desk clerk was not behind the desk and we had to ring the bell.
All in all, this hotel should not be rated more than 2* and is a disgrace for the price.

“Very poor”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 March 2011

Cheap furniture, overworked staff that don't inspire confidence, never look happy. Avoid this place if you can.
