Our family (2 adults and 2 children, 10 and 8 ) stayed for a week at Walser Stuba in March. It was our first visit to the area to ski and we booked after looking at a few accomodation options on the internet. We liked the look and feel of the website for Walser Stuba and decided to book after a couple of very friendly emails back and forth. We were not disappointed! The hotel is well located with a ski lift directly across the road and the larger ski area (with gondola) is a 5 minute walk (across the bridge and down the hill) away -which we coped with no problems carrying ski gear. There is also a free skiers bus too, but we were too eager to hit the slopes than wait! When we arrived (very early in the morning thanks to a change in our flight with Wizz air) we were welcomed at the door by our hosts, the Reizlers, who are a really lovely, friendly couple. This is a real 'family run and owned' hotel and that makes it really special. (Their son Jeremiah is the Chef and his wife helps out in reception). We booked a family room with 'half board' and although our room was small, it was spotlessly clean and fresh. We were so exhausted after all the skiing that the space didn't matter anyway! The food was fabulous, even for our two children- a 3 course menu every evening (with choices) and a breakfast buffet fit for kings. We ate so well- full marks to the kitchen! One of the special touches was a menu card for the evening on the breakfast table each morning which was kindly translated into English for us with a joke to start the day. Our waitress was fantastic too- she greeted us with a huge smile each morning and evening- just lovely little touches like that make a guest feel so welcome. Although we were the only English-speaking guests at the time it wasn't a problem and the children really loved the hotel birds in reception and the relaxed atmosphere throughout. This is a little gem of a place and we hope to come back next year again. Probably better suited to older children than babies and toddlers as the restaurant is well known in the area and popular- obviously a local favourite. Thankyou family Reizler for a wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you again in 2011! ||The Sundstroms
