Hotel Sant Gothard

I have not skied for a few years dues to covid and illness. So I decided to go for a cheaper ski holiday, to ease back into it. This hotel has surprised me pleasantly. It is better than expected. It definately kicks above a 3-Star hotel. It is professionally run. The welcome from the staff was warm and friendly. The rooms are clean and spacious. The walk-in power shower was very welcome. As was the flat screen TV with international channels. Being on a half-board basis, I was impressed with how professional the kitchen was run. The standard of the food is very good with different dishes on offer, on a buffet basis. This made me over-eat, so this not the place for you, if you are on a diet. Now, the negatives: This hotel caters for the school-holiday market. In the evening the school kids can make a loud racket. But I actually found this added to the atmosphere, hearing lots of laughter and banter. It dies off after 10pm. The walls of the rooms are wafer thin. I could hear every word spoken by the room next to mine. I could have joined their conversation, if I wanted to. The ski bus stop is a few hundred metres away and the buses do not follow a timetable. The bus service is a bit hit and miss, which a pain when you have all of your ski-gear with you. Walking to the gondola is uphill and will take around 20 minutes with your ski-gear. Not easy and not good. Despite the above, I found my stay was very comfortable. If you are on a budget but expect a high standard, this is a fine choice of hotel.

The hotel was very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the shower was quite powerful. The reception and bar area was nice. The only downside was that the walls were quite thin and I could hear talking in the adjacent rooms. It was a 10 minute walk to the gondola, but the free bus pulled up outside. It was just difficult to know when to catch it. Outside pool was closed due to winter conditions. Would stay there again

Rooms very basic 3 star poss less. Bathroom OK. No sockets. Bar hardly opens. Shabby Hotel full of school kids beware so dinner time like feeding time at zoo. Position for lifts rubbish. Avoid if want 4 star. On upside choice and food is excellent

The staff was kind and helpful. They were happy to let us lock our luggage in a room near reception because we arrived early, so that we could enjoy nearby hiking. Our room faced out on the lovely stream that runs behind the hotel. It was a delight. If you choose not to take advantage of the food offered on site, thete are meant cafes and tastings up the main road toward and beyond the lifts. The bathtub was a rare delight. Im so glad we decided to go.
