Algund Waalweg - Lagundo Channel Trail Adventure Holidays

I truly enjoyed my stay - from staff to amenities . I want to come back! Please note that it is a small town so finding lots of restaurants open late will be hard and using Uber to go to the airport (or anywhere) will be nearly impossible. Ask front desk for planning and assistance with this.

The hotel has a very interesting layout. It was buiilt in 1937 and is similar to the Gugenheim museum in NY, in a sense that the rooms are arranged around a spiral corridor that goes up from the first floor all the way to the 8th. Advantages: the breakfast was very good, a lot to choose from. The hotel is very close to ski lifts - about five minutes drive and the hotel provides a shuttle bus. It is also a 2 minute walk to the center of the little town of Sauze d'Oulx where shops, restaurants and pubs are. There is a ski/snowboard rental on hotel premises (in the basement) with efficient with an efficient employee (thanks Randy). There are also lockers to keep the skiing equipment. Disadvantages: The hotel is really overpriced in the winter. I'm not sure why they call themselves VIP, as the hotel and the rooms are pretty basic. Furthermore, the hotel does not have its own swimming pool, but rather the spa complex is in a separate building next door, a short walk across the parking lot. We got two vouchers for free entrance, but we were there for five days. The entrance to the pool and spa are around 18 euros per person per day. The hotel does not have landline telephones between the rooms, nor do rooms have any kettle to make tea. The two elevators constantly malfunctioned. To summarize - not a VIP hotel, probably something like 3 stars, but the stay was still very enjoyable due to the hotel's location, nice staff, great skiing and the general athmosphere.

Elegant Hotel, great location, knowledgeable and friendly staff that made our stay special.

Charming well cared clean hotel. Nearby to old city and railway station.

The room and hotel itself was nice. Nothing extravagant. It’s located about 30 minutes outside the city center by tram which was not great. It is right on a main road so noisy with traffic. There was a strike so the tram stopped working and there was no other options but expensive taxis or walking. The dining options in the area was limited and most places were closed.

Safe and clean location which is central to all sites. Lovely and very helpful staff. Rooms are a bit tired and breakfast is average at best: not what one expects in Italy at a five star. We went out.

Lovely pool. Would have liked a bath, but not available even though our friends had one (and they didn’t ask for one, whereas we did)

Cheap hotel close to bus stop and right next to slopes, however staff can be rude and dismissive if you do not speak Italian, I also saw some smoking inside the property.
