“Great Hotel”

Just came back from a ski and very little to fault about Hotel Post, the complaint I would have is there is not enough seat/benches in the ski room. But to be honest you never had to wait long for a space. The room/hotel is very clean, and could not fault the food and staff. The location is great... more

Just came back from a ski and very little to fault about Hotel Post, the complaint I would have is there is not enough seat/benches in the ski room. But to be honest you never had to wait long for a space. The room/hotel is very clean, and could not fault the food and staff. The location is great, right in the centre of the village.

An excellent traditional hotel conveniently located to access St Anton’s network of lifts. OK, so some details. Firstly location and setting. The Hotel Post is centrally located in the traffic-free main street, allowing easy access to the Gampen chairlift and Galzig and Rendle gondolas, all within a five minute walk. It is right in the central area of St Anton’s shops, bars, restaurants and ski-hire places, few hotels are more perfectly located. It is not ski in / ski out, but let’s be realistic here, few places in St Anton are, unless you are seriously loaded, and don’t expect wide, sweeping mountain views. Don’t forget, St Anton is in a deep valley with steep, imposing mountain sides right in your face! The hotel itself is very nice indeed, and very traditional: well maintained, clean, warm; very comfortable and lots of character. Reception is bright and spacious, a lift from there leads to all floors (including down to the spa and boot room), and reception accesses the bar, dining room and lounges. The hotel has several lounges, affording space for afternoon tea, or natural focal points at the end of a long day to relax, enjoy a drink and meet other guests. The main lounge connected into the cosy bar, with another lounge adjoining on the other side. Our room was perfect for us, in fact quite large, with views south over the main pedestrianised street towards the valley flanks. Large windows and a door to the balcony afforded lots of light (with heavy curtains to keep out the light from the town). Spotless on arrival, and with excellent cleaning services, remained so throughout. Comfortable bed, lots of storage space (vertical hanging and horizontal), television with 160+ channels, a desk, chairs and a comfortable sofa. No complementary drinking water provided, but St Anton’s water is good to drink from the tap. The excellent bathroom was also spotless with a combined bath / shower. Toiletries were provided, more than sufficient towels laid out and always enough hot water. The only thing we missed was a kettle and stuff for tea / coffee at the end of the ski-day. I know afternoon tea was on offer in the lounge, but sometimes it’s just nice to flop in ski kit! We did use the (unstaffed) spa, with a decent sized indoor pool, large enough to stretch out and exercise tired limbs. The steam and dry rooms were also very welcome. Other services are on offer, but we were happy to use those just described. The boot room is on the bottom floor, accessed via the lift and a very short flight of stairs. Each room is allocated a locker, electronically secured, and then a electronically secured door outside to the steps and onwards. The boot room was in very good repair, and was certainly on a par to other boot rooms in our experiences. As we have our own boot heaters, I can’t comment on the serviceability of the room’s boot heaters (external to the lockers). We were on a half-board option. Breakfast was on from 07:30. You won’t get in early as the doors to the huge dining room are secured to 07:30 on the dot. Breakfast was superb. Lots of cereals, in fact lots of everything to set us up for the day. Dinner was on from 1900, which suited us to be there early as we tended to be early risers. The set menu was four course following a salad buffet, with a main meat, fish and vegetarian option on offer, selected during breakfast to ease evening service. We were very pleased with every course we took, I really would describe it as fine dining. Finally the staff. From arrival to departure, we found the staff to be superb. Reception staff were professional and friendly, and of course are critical in setting the tone as first impressions really do count. Bar staff were aways friendly and engaging, while the dining room was well staffed and seemed to run efficiently (the main man really was in charge and kept the team on their toes running the show). And our room was always clean and refreshed when we returned from a long day out. If you have read this far, well done! I know it’s a long review, but we loved our stay here and really wanted to do this hotel justice.

I would really have to start picking nits if I were to find things that I didn't like in hotel Post. Traditional 4-star alpine quality. Everything is easy, comfortable, efficient and well thought of. Great breakfast (even a few gluten-free options) with a lot of options, nice, warm and clean rooms, with nice views (we got mountain view). Comfortable beds and pillows (needed an extra one), controlled temperature and a spacious bathroom to top it off. All expected amenities (from bathrobes and slippers to shower gel are available. I should also point out that all staff (from the cleaning staff to the reception staff) were very polite and helpful. Did I mention that the location is also excellent? Very short walking distance to 2 gondolas and all restaurants and bars in the village. I would definitely return (even though the price is a little steep as is almost everything in St. anton)
