    The food was very similar every day. I can not say that food is bad, but there aren't many choices. Before this hotel, I went to a hotel with 2 stars in the same area, and the food was many, many better than here.

    I can say that the hotel is very good close to gondola 2 min walk and also close to the second ski area Martinovi Baraki 2-3min walk and have hot storage for ski equipment. I have a great room with a balcony with a wanderfull view on ski slopes. After long ski day you can relax in the thermal spa center and swim and relax in a 25-meter pool. Check-in time was a problem for me it was 3 evening. I came early in the morning, and personal was very kind and give me temp locker room for my bags and parking for my car and I go to ski and Chek in after ski. Thanks to the girl from reception.

    The juice/coffee at breakfast were not the highest quality but the food was good.

    Central location - just next to the Gondola. Spacious bedroom with massive bed! Our room was facing the main ski runs so the view was incredible! The spa was also quite nice and it was great that there was bowling, pool, etc available.

    Great value for money, nothing that would make me not want to return it’s just a dated hotel - all the negative trip advisor reviews didn’t put us off. Yes the bedding is a bit shabby but it was clean

    Located close to the gondola and a short walk from everything. Nice pool and thermal spa. Fresh towels every day. Large breakfast buffet selection.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like.

    Everything was spot on. Breakfast, dinner, swimming pool, spa, massage services, ski school, and above all the kinder garden - nursery service. For us, this was the most important aspect if there was an option for someone to take care of our child during the day while we enjoyed the ski slopes plus of course ski lessons and playtime. The staff was amazing, friendly, and very helpful. Highly recommended.

    The evening food in the restaurant was poor. I didn't eat much of it. The breakfast was much better.

    The location of the hotel and views from the room balcony were excellent. The staff were very helpful even though a lot of them didn't speak English (not their fault). They walked out to show me where the parking for my van was. The pool was amazing and there was no-one else in it! The decor is a bit dated but overall the hotel is very good value for money.
