Hotel Del Viale

We never leave reviews but we have to this time! It absolutely exceeded our expectations after reading other reviews and looking at the pictures. This hotel really needs to update their photos! The hotel is traditional, absolutely spotless, very very friendly and serves amazing food. The maids came into our room everyday and put fresh towels and toiletries in. We had 4 courses every night and they were scrumptious! There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the door of the gondola which was fab. We loved this hotel but the photos don’t do it justice they really need to be updated, they charge so little and they could be getting a lot higher rate. Thank you so much for an amazing stay, you guys are fab!

We booked at short notice after other choices had sold out and having seen some pretty negative reviews and a lack of recent reviews, we were a little apprehensive, but this is a lovely little, family-run hotel that represents excellent value for money. The décor is fairly dated, but very well maintained and I personally loved looking at the mid-century art and furniture. It has standard, ski-style rooms. Compact, but clean and have everything you need. Beds are comfortable, with extra pillows/blankets in the wardrobe if needed. Location is a 10 minute walk from the town, with a hotel mini bus shutting guests to the lifts and bus station if requested each morning and afternoon. It doesn’t run all day long which some reviews have complained about, but if you’re planning to go to and from your hotel all day long and want your hotel to facilitate that for you – spend more. The view from the hotel on a morning is lovely and you get the sun late afternoon/evening so you can sit and have a relaxing drink. Food was great. The continental breakfast buffet has lots of options to fill you up, with a self-service coffee machine for cappuccino, latte, americano etc – coffee was really tasty. Evening meals are a salad buffet and 4 courses which you choose from each evening. The pasta course alone could fill you up. All was very tasty. The bar isn’t as good as other hotels we’ve been to. Lots of spirit choices but no draft beer and guests didn’t seem to be using it much which was a shame. There is no real boot room, which was a little peculiar. Instead, just a space under the stairs to leave your skis/boards and a bench to pop your boots on. There were no rules about not taking boots to rooms though, so we just popped our boots on upstairs before getting the mini bus. That obviously means no boot-warmers to dry them out overnight, but there’s no lack of heating, so sticking them near the radiators overnight sorted them out. Staff are polite and friendly and work hard. The owner/manager comes across a bit grumpy sometimes, but hes actually fine. Just plain-speaking rather than OTT gushy/welcoming. The ladies at breakfast and dinner and all other staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, this was a great option that pleasantly surprised us and you really can’t go wrong for the price!
