The Onya Resort & Spa

We are staying at the Hotel Onya in Bellwald for a long weekend. Reviews of the hotel were good and unfortunately with the emphasis on were. It seems that a lot has changed over time. We booked a room with a view of the valley via Hotelcard. Like others before us, we were given room no. 5 (parking lot/mountain). The rooms are clean and well-kept, the mattresses are a bit hard. There are only toppers if the family rooms are not fully booked. Anyone expecting a warm towel will be disappointed. The towel warmer doesn't work and the towels don't dry well in cool temperatures. Unfortunately, the temperatures have dropped in the last few days, but that hasn't prompted the operators to turn on the heating. So we had breakfast in freezing temperatures and it wasn't any warmer in the evening. Somehow there was a constant draft and if you don't move, you can have a blanket against the cool room temperatures! So we weren't surprised that we were the only guests on Sunday evening and Monday morning despite it being the holiday season. The food used to be very good, but today it's more peppery. Two of the three main meals were anything but good. If you arrive by car, we recommend parking your car in the car park opposite the hotel. The first day costs CHF 7, 2-6 days CHF 6 each, which is quite a bit less than the hotel price of CHF 10 per day. That was it for us.
