My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Simi. Here are the pros and cons:
PROS:
- Great location
- Suite (rm 125) was huuuge and perfect for a long stay; nice table, a sitting chair, a very large lounge couch (which could be a 2nd bed), nice warm duvets, and QUIET
- Breakfasts were incredible--don't believe anyone who says it isn't.
- Room was cleaned well every day, and in-room Nespresso maker and mini-fridge were great
- Hotel wellness area was wonderful--loved the sauna and the small amount of people allowed at any time
- Ski room was great--the heated boot wall was a nice treat every morning
- Afternoon coffee/tea and cake was really nice
- Great location too--only a short walk to the station and ski train
- Nadja was a pleasure to see every day--she was cheerful, took the time to converse, and was always helpful
- Pet-friendly, but we decided not to bring our dog due to EU/UK pet travel costs and challenges
CONS:
- Likely due to staff shortage, but the hotel shuttle could not be used for daily transport to the far lifts/gondolas while skiing
- Biggest disappointment was that some of the staff were not friendly at all--the bartender especially was extremely cold, even though we tried our best to order in German and be friendly. Maybe it was us, who knows, but my wife and I try hard to be friendly and some front desk staff wouldn't even acknowledge when we would greet them going/coming. Again, Nadja sets a high standard, I just hope it rubs off!
