I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was stunning, right in the same building as the Santis-Schwebebahn cable car valley station with magnificent mountain views. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed with an impressive view from the large windows, but the sound of cowbells could be a bit disturbing for some. However, the atmosphere felt a bit cold at times.
