Good option near St Moritz
This is a hostel so you have shared bathroom on the floor or if you are lucky they have some rooms with a private shower. The hostel is not in St Moritz, you need to take a train for about 5 minutes to get to SM or 20 min bus ride. The town itself is charming but focused on ski holidays. Service was good and breakfast too

Location is excellent and the staff were friendly. However this is a very very expensive hostel stay. Very noisy at night and in the morning with no insulation or sound proofing between rooms.

I guess the biggest surprise was what passed for a bathroom in our room, okay for a quick leak during the night, not for much else. Most trailers in Canada have more of a bathroom. However there were bigger facilities just across the hall. For one night it was fine. Staff was super friendly and spoke English well. The room was clean and the beds okay. In a very expensive area like this, it was a good place to stay. In a less expensive area I opt for a 3 star hotel instead. The restaurant was closed, as were many in the area. Breakfast was very good.

The chalet and rooms are functional, especially if you will be out of the chalet in the day but need somewhere to sleep. Furniture seems well used. Bathrooms were fine. Only one outlet in each room so bring a power strip. Check in was easy.

Place was good for the hostel type. Our room was unfortunately on top floor by roof and had a slanted ceiling making it difficult for tall people. Breakfast and cappuccino was great.

Good for price.
Reasonably priced compared to the area. Reasonably good restaurant. Opens late in the evening. Very close to Celerina station, with frequency of one train in each direction. Bery close to ski/sledging locations. Good views, middle of picturesque valley/village.

Staff are nice.
The hotel is not in St. Moritz. When we searched the hotels in St. Moritz, hotels.com also listed this hotel. We did not notice it until we booked the room. But it is not very far from St. Moritz. You need to take a train to St. Moritz, but only 4 or 5 minutes by train. It needs about 10 minutes walking from the hotel to the local train station, definitely not 5 minutes.

And friendly staff that supported a late checkin at 11:30pm. Also, the breakfast was worth half of the cost of the stay... premium layout. Nice view of the mountains.

A very quiet hotel close to train station
A very quiet hotel close to train station, like a traditional swiss wooden village home. The hotel displayed excellent hospitality and flexibility to serve the guest. Specially the in house manager Mr Luca was very kind and supportive. He gave us lift to and from train station due to bad weather. We liked the wooden interior of the hotel and enjoyed the stay and snow fall there.

とても素敵な滞在でした。宿は清潔感があり、ホストもとても素敵な人です。朝食も美味しかったです。強いていうのであれば、バストイレ付きのお部屋に宿泊したのですが、シャワーでトイレがびしょ濡れになってしまうので結局共用のトイレを使ったことです。共用のトイレは全く問題ありませんが、部屋付きの方は扉を閉めるとトイレに座れません。ただ、それらの点を超えるほど素晴らしい宿でした!ありがとうございました!

Das Doppelzimmer war sehr klein. Es hatte aber Charme. Die Einrichtung fand ich sehr schön und gemütlich. Das Personal war freundlich. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig, das heisst morgens hört man die anderen Gäste aufstehen. Mich hat aber einzig die Waschmaschine gestört. Ich hätte am Morgen gerne ein wenig im Zimmer verbracht und gelesen. Das ganze Zimmer hat jedoch fibriert von der Maschine. Das finde ich eine Zumutung. Denn ansonsten kann ich das Hotel empfehlen. Einfach und gemütlich.
