Hotel Dala

Last week stayed for three nights. Location is excellent, very close to the bus station and 300m from Leukerbad Therme which is the best choice these days. Alpentherme up the hill is still working but gets lots of complaints about service. Dala hotel is kind of old-fashioned place but everything in the room was functional and acceptable pricewise. The only thing I did not like was unstable wi-fi in the room. Decent and nutritional breakfast. Manuela managing the hotel was very friendly and helpful in explaining where to go around the town. I recommend staying there.

The hotel is clean but dated. The breakfast is not bad and staff provided all the facts upon checkin. That's about all the good things I can say for chf186 per night ( one of the most expensive hotel during our month long europe trip) I originally wanted to book another hotel which provided hotspring in the hotel, but it was booked out. So I booked Hotel Dala assuming I've paid more for the hotel to enjoy quick dips in the hotel thermal pool at night as shown in the photos on tripadvisor, my room will be modern like the photos and we can enjoy the long list of hotel facilities. How wrong was I?! The thermal belongs to Leuketbad thermal which costs chf20+ per person for 3 hours. (Lovely but not cheap) The hotel facilities all located in a sad dimly lit room with everything right next to each other. The sauna closes at 7pm, so beware of your dinner time. The use of kitchenette costs additional chf40? (can't remember the cost but that's too expensive for a cup of warm tea) Our room was dated, nothing like the older tripadvisor photos. The mattress sheets are not comfortable as they have tiny cotton lumps from over washing. It's my fault that I didn't do my research but I just want future travellers to be better informed.
