Reviews
Hygiene: It's OK, but I have a mysophobia, and some corners are still relatively dark after wiping with alcohol for a while;
Environment: It should be said that it is good, located in the forest. It is a relatively remote location, but the environment is very good. But it is basically impossible to get a taxi or hotel bus outside, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk to Bafang Hot Spring.
Service: It should be considered quite good, but I don't know why the hotel car can sometimes pick up and drop off for free. If I have time, I need to take a taxi by myself, and there is no rule. The overall service is good. The breakfast is a bit monotonous, but the combination is relatively healthy. The dinner is a good French meal. Although it is not at the Michelin level, it is worth the price in terms of service and environment.
Transfer to three ski lifts, as well as to railway and bus stations
Call a taxi
Equipment is stored and brought
The rooms are large, if you don't take the cheapest one
Jacuzzi bath and shower
Separate bathroom amenities that are changed every day
Tea and treats in the Hall with a fireplace
Several cafes nearby
Of the minuses
Not tasty food in local restaurants and overpriced
It’s cool in the Hall with a fireplace because the entrance doors are often opened and the fire is weak or absent
There is a bit of staff shortage - if the fireplace was burning strong and constantly it would be ideal
