Close to station (specially is one makes use of an indoor staircase leading from/to to parking lot with access to lower level of road nest to the station. The hotel is situated right in the heart of the city. Check in was smooth, courteous and informative. Room was perhaps one of the most spacious sand nice we had among 8-9 hotels that we stayed in during our trip to Switzerland, Scotland and London. We had an early check out. My special thanks to them for keeping our packed breakfast ready and offering us hot fresh coffee at the wee hours of the morning. EXCELLENT.

“Great hostess = great stay”

Our check in hostess was Natasha. What treasure she was with taking care of our needs, such as supplying a shower mat for our safety, being sure a packed breakfast was available for our very early departure. While staying there, walk across the street to be served by fine waitress and really a good hostess at the Schweizerhof named Natalia. The unusual meal we had of soup and special ice cream dessert was just what we wanted.

We (a family of 4) stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The room we stayed in was quite big so we all managed to stay in 1 room with a double bed and a double sofa bed. The furnishings of the room were quite basic and a bit dated , and unfortunately the beds were not too comfortable. Our room had a balcony and the view outside was nice. However, our room was facing a square so at night there was loud music coming from outside until late, though I think the music stopped before midnight (as I was asleep). The staff were very welcoming and helpful, and the location of the hotel was very convenient. It was not far from the train station and there were shops nearby. The walk around the lake near the hotel was fantastic - it was about an hour walk, pretty easy walk with a great view! We ate several times in the hotel’s restaurant and the food was good. The breakfast they offered in the morning was simple but really nice. Overall it was a good place to stay to explore St Moritz.

“Just okay”

The rooms are pared to the bone, spacious but also charmless, with no comfortable seating. The minuscule lighting over the bed isn't enough to read by and the hair dryers aren't effective for anyone with longer hair. Staff is helpful with directions to scenic chair lifts and will arrange a shuttle … more

The rooms are pared to the bone, spacious but also charmless, with no comfortable seating. The minuscule lighting over the bed isn't enough to read by and the hair dryers aren't effective for anyone with longer hair. Staff is helpful with directions to scenic chair lifts and will arrange a shuttle back to the train station (ask ahead). Guests with mobility issues may find the walk from the train station (15 minutes) challenging because it's mostly uphill, but there are 3 escalators to assist (or wait for the town bus). In town, it's hilly as well, on cobblestone surfaces. Breakfast is ample, but no hot selections were available when we were there. There is no coffee maker in the room, but there is an on-site coffee shop/bakery (be prepared to pay CHF 5.50 for coffee). High-end designer shops line the street en route to the hotel and if you stroll around, you'll find a charming wine bar or two. Generally, though, St. Moritz isn't loaded with options for meals, unless you dine at one of the hotels. Hauser has a spacious patio restaurant which is nice on a sunny day. If you're on a budget, there is a Coop grocery store nearby where you can stock up on salads, fruit, etc. to put a meal together. You'll find a pharmacy nearby too. A nice treat is to take the funicular up to to the Quattro bar and have a mid-morning glass of prosecco while admiring the view. We used St. Moritz as a jumping-off point for the Bernina Express; otherwise, unless you want to ski with the jet set in the winter, I'd be inclined to give it a miss.
