  : Very nice location, in the center of Arabba. SPA facilities enjoyable - although small area and you need to book in advance, the personnel is very helpful and the entire experience (sauna and swimming) was very nice. Reception and bar personnel very nice and helpful. Underground parking was recommended by the reception personnel and was very helpful as we were traveling by motorcycle.
  : We asked for a quiet room but we soon find out that in the entire hotel there are no rooms where you can't hear the neighbors (and the neighborhoods' dogs) through the ceiling or the walls (although we had different neighbors in the 7 nights spent in the hotel, the noise was constant and we could hear every night kids crying, dogs barking, people arguing, steps on the floor in the room upstairs...). Limited variety of food at breakfast or diner. Breakfast is till 9:30 but at even before 9:00 you can "enjoy" only some remains and have a look at the empty trays. Dinner, apart from the buffet, can be order only at the "head waiter" who is "picking his clients" preferentially (if he doesn't like your face/accent.... you can wait till he runs out of choices of "nice faces"). After few days we were advised by the other waiters to come early for dinner and to decide fast on our choice from the daily dinner menu, so we could ask the "signore" right away and, the most important, never say that you are not yet ready to order (as, for sure, he will never come back to take you order - which we experienced). What was even more impressive was how , one morning, he was very unprofessionally scolding the waiters, very rude and loud, while clients were trying to have breakfast.

  : Breakfast was incredible, I think the hotel literally catered for everybody. We were offered just about everything you could think of and more. Wonderfully fresh and well thought out.
  : A really great addition would be tea and coffee and a kettle in the room. Its nice to relax in your room with a cup of tea or coffee whenever you want and not have to go out anywhere to find one.
