Reviews for Hotel des Alpes

Review 1:restaurant slow (wait 1h despite reservation, but it was high season), breakfast selection could have a bit more variety

Review 2:hard floor, modern interior design, good location (10min by bus to both Laax and Flims cable car stations)

Review 3:Staff could be more welcoming and friendly. I was repeatedly 'encouraged' to leave a positive review on this site. Its true, a night there was very good value for money - that is what made me choose this hotel.

Review 4:The room was equipped with cool design furniture and a nice shower. The hotel is close to a beautiful forest. Breakfast was really good!

Review 5:The hotel itself was very tourist and skiing oriented, and the breakfast started pretty late. I had to be in Bonaduz for a meeting at 8:30 AM, and at the hotel the breakfast was supposed to start at 7:30 AM. However, they actually started preparing breakfast a few minutes later, so you could actually start eating anything around 7:45 AM. Not an issue for somebody who can sleep longer and go skiing afterwards, but since I had to leave at 8 AM (including checking out), it was a bit of an issue. Also, it wasn’t the skiing season, so, there was nobody at the reception for the most of the time, and they apparently tried to spare money on heating, as it was quite cold in the room. Plus, once another quest entered my room with his own card – apparently the staff mixed up the room numbers or something, and gave that guest a key card to my room.

Review 6:Hotel was clean, nice and located in beautiful skiing resort

Review 7:Not always someone at the reception. The service at dinner team was not very satisfactory. Based on what they write about the breakfast I expected more choices. Even though the hotel was not full they did not manage to fill up bread, butter etc before it was empty on the buffet.

Review 8:The rooms are big and well furnished. Very modern and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant il forno serves good food.

Review 9:Great price rooms but had to pay for parking.

Review 10:Nice hotel, great indoor pool, underground garage.Nice rooms with balcony although south facing rooms do not have a great view.

Review 11:The hotel we stayed at Easter time, was not felt in the Easter mood. Simple, cool rooms without special comfort.

Review 12:Very good restaurant. A great pool. Convenient means of transport to the ski lift. Excellent, helpful staff that solves the problem.

Review 13:The heating in the room was not working properly even after keeping it at high. The hotel didn't have the basic facilities that one expects from a star hotel. No hair dryers, iron, coffee/ tea. The general cleanliness of the room and the comfort of the bed didn't meet the expectations.

Review 14:excellent location, hassle free connection to Internet using wifi.

Review 15:Didn't particularly enjoy the bed (some kind of plastic sheet underneath the mattress cover). Would love to have a thinner duvet available (but to their defence, I didn't ask for one). Boot drying rack in the ski room unfortunately didn't work.

Review 16:Very friendly staff. Large balcony with a view. Reasonably spacious room. Ski bus stop close to the hotel.

Review 17:Pets allowed - in the middle of the night a dog started to bark. Also bringing pets to restaurant is not ok for my standard.

Review 18:Decent mountain hotel, staff was very helpful. Practical set up, probably the best travel baby cot we ever had in any hotel. Staff also provided little step in the bathroom for our child. Shuttle bus ticket included in the price which makes transfer between nearby ski lifts very convenient.

Review 19:The location is good with immediate access to shuttle and regional bus services. Train and bus travel to an from Zurich airport is straightforward. No need to hire a car.

Review 20:We missed our bus to Laax to the mountain and the hostess offered to drive us to the lift. So, we piled our skis in her car and she brought us and refused payment. She was so nice and the hotel was very clean, well maintained, and the breakfast was pretty good.

Review 21:You have to pay a small supplement for the covered parking. There's another parking (uncovered and free) but it's shared with the restaurant.

Review 22:The position is really quite and close to everithing: Cauma lake, shops, restaurants, banks, supermarkets ... Really friendly staff who help us in any request. They gifted us an upgrade in order to allow to try the renewed rooms..wonderful! The room was big, clean, elegant and comfortable, with a nice balcony in front of the mountain. The swimmingpool was quite big and the environment relaxing. The quality/price ratio of the hotel's restaurant was ok if compared with the other restaurants in Flims. Finally, we have a dog and there was no problem. So, an hotel strongly suggested.

Review 23:Breakfast is a little bit dull (no vegetables). Parking lot a bitsmall. Some rooms have wall-mounted beds so that a "doublebed" is actually two singles with a gap in the middle... Not verycomfortable. (But on the other hand, we were offered 3 different roomsto choose from...)

Review 24:The cosy hotel was perfect for our needs. We are a young couple with ababy, and we were looking for a nice place with kitchen facilities. Therooms are nice and clean, the staff was helpful and welcoming. We usedthe hotel parking and a baby cot, and we were not charged for either ofthem (off season). The small kitchenette is well equipped (for 2-4people). Perfect location close to lake Cauma, supermarket and more.Very good view from the room.

Review 25:Nothing too say

Review 26:That the Staff was very helpful and Kind. The beds was super comfy. Room standard was great and good location of the hotel. Great veiw from the room also!

Review 45:Not much of a view from our room and a lot of construction in the area.

Review 47:- unhospitality of the reception - old hotel - small and dirty sauna

Review 48:- restaurant - location

Review 49:Location, good breakfast and pool were all very nice - but for us the best thing was the kitchen in the small studio.

Review 50:- tight parking slots in garage

Review 51:+ clean + good location + recently renovated spacious rooms + excellent restaurant

Review 52:No balcony rails, scaffolding, bad view.

Review 53:Swimming pool

Review 54:Not close from the ski lifts, have to take the bus, there were no bus schedules available on the hotel so we missed the bus and had to wait another 30 minutes. Parking should be included on the room price.

Review 55:Rooms are recently renovated, really comfy and nice.

Review 56:It was above our normal budget but the comfort increase was greater than the price increase.

Review 57:This was a very comfortable place to stay, much better than expected.

Review 58:Would have liked to see more breakfast options. Staff were a bit abrupt in the restaurant. Tiny car park which made parking, even with a Mini, quite challenging.

Review 59:Modern facilities. Excellent bathroom and general room size. Well located for Caumasee and the bus stop if you're going skiing.

Review 60:There was a mix up between the hotel and booking.com over our booking of half board - the hotel were unable to honour this and we had to pay regular a la carte restaurant prices instead. The hotel had parking but this was charged at an additional nightly rate.

Review 61:The rooms are very clean with contemporary decor and comfortable. There is a nice cosy bar and the restaurant is excellent. The staff were helpful.

Review 62:Parking is extremely small and it is very difficult to find a place where the car actually fits. The room had a two small unfolded beds and not a king/queen one as expected.

Review 63:It is located meters away from the shuttle bus to the ski slopes. Staff is very friendly. Meals at the restaurant are very good. The pool is very nice.

Review 64:The new rooms are well designed, simple and very comfortable. Good value for money. The shuttle bus to the slopes is a short 5 min ride. We were there for a weekend of skiing and quiet time. This hotel was perfect for that.

Review 65:Parking space was very small and over priced compared to other hotels in Flims (15CHF per night), pool was too cold to use in winter.

Review 66:Very good ubication, just a couple of shuttle bus stops to the lifts (Flims or Laax), nice kitchenette and big balcony, useful ski room is in the ground floor, comfortable spacey room. Sauna room is very nice and well prepared. The restaurant/pizzeria downstairs is awesome and the breakfast was decent.

Review 67:10 minute walk to Flims ski lift but there is a shuttle bus. Hotel has slightly dated feel.

Review 68:Nice pool and sauna, garage, good location for walk to forest and Caumasee, helpful staff, good restaurant on ground floor.

Review 69:very friendly staff, great accommodations including a sauna and good size swimming pool, centrally located and easy access to restaurants and the mountains.

Review 70:nothing :)

Review 71:Clean, very nice stuff, kitchen in the room, garage (i was there with motorcycle), hairdryer, food,...everything what I have time to testing in 13 hours, and from that 7h of sleeping :) For pool and sauna I came to late in hotel.

Review 72:the common area is small. the Kitchen was a bit small On the other hand since there is a kitchen - it would be nice to have bassic things like coffie, tea, sugger and salt~~~~~~~~

Review 73:the room we had suitable for us (2 grownups and 1 baby). I liked that there is a cart with extra almost everything for our use on each floor.

Review 74:The swimming pool was a bit too cool; it should probably be a fewdegrees warmer.

Review 75:Hotel des Alpes is a very good vfm, comfy, relaxed, friendly, welcoming,family-fun hotel - a good 3* hotel.We paid c.£80 for one night in a double bedroom, single occupancy in each, with a big, good, all you can eat brekky: cereals, breads, yoghurts, meats and cheese. Hotel has a car-park for c.30 cars underground. It cost us c.£15 for one night. Location is good: it is in Flims Waldhaus. About 10 minutes on free ski bus to the main lifts at bottom of pistes in Flims and Laax. 2 minutes' walk around the corner is the bus station in Flims Waldhaus. You can also walk to lots more hotels and bars in Flims and Waldhaus in 10 -15 minutes. Transfer time: It takes c.30 minutes to drive up the mountain to Laax or Flims from the intercity motorway in the bottom of the valley, which runs past the town of Ilanz (and goes to Zurich in c.2 hours from Ilanz). From Ilanz train station you can take 1 or 2 buses up to Laax or Flims in c.30 minutes. Staff were all friendly, especially the German owner man at reception. Hotel has a comfy, relaxing bar with a grand piano! We didn't hear anyone playing it, though. Bedrooms: 301 is a big double bedroom, modern and bright with a big, comfy double bed, sofa, table, decent en-suite bathroom + shower, TV and a balcony as wide as the room. 302 is a good-sized double bedroom, with fake wooden beams - oddly in a modern hotel it looks like an old farmhouse. It has all the same facilities as 301. Both rooms have a fully equipped kitchen area, just inside the door from the corridor. So, you could easily self-cater and live here very happily for a week. Restaurant served very tasty soup and pizzas - good VFM. Pizzas were about 15 Francs. Wooden sauna was good - terrifically hot, though! A cold water plunge bath, shower and decent, 10 metre pool, (a few degrees too cool), complete the pleasant, relaxing, leisure area.

Review 76:Everything was fine.

Review 77:Very nice personell,good breakfast and internet.Ski bus just around the corner ,takes ca.3 mins to the gondola station.Have not used in house restaurant but it looks very inviting.Wellness facilities proper for 3 stars,warm water in the pool.
