Hotel Stille

I had the worst experience staying here. Upon arrival I met David who was very rude. Apparently this place is not a hotel, it’s more like Airbnb. You can’t arrive earlier than your time or late. We were lucky that our rain was late and we reached right at 4, or we would have had waited outside. No reception nothing that sort. It’s just called hotel. I had booked my reservation with Priceline for 2 adults and 2 kids and had paid total charges for kids to Priceline. David argued that he can only see reservation for 2 in his side with booking.com, I explained him that we booked with Priceline -‘d shows him on my app this booking but he kept arguing for us to pay him $70CHF more for 2 kids. Almost wasted and hour back and forth with him. We were tired of long trip and told him we need to get going for activities that we have signed up for me but this person didn’t care. I would strongly suggest not staying here for many reasons but most important the service. Location is way out and nothing close by. Lesson learned.

Our room was so warm and cozy and it’s next to several trails. The building apartment is literally next to the woods and it gives a really nature vibe. David was so helpful about everything we needed and the other staff was so nice and lovely they let us check in earlier than the check in time. They even took care of my luggage after check out as I wanted to do a hike near the area.

This is a hotel that is connected to a youth hostel outside of St Moritz. You need to be aware that this is not at the St Moritz center and you need to take cabs or buses to go anywhere. from train station to this hotel is around 20 CHF taxi. the hotel has a very small elevator so you don't have to drag luggage upstairs. Booking, check in and check out is easy. the staff is friendly and helpful. the rooms are non smoking but there are plenty of people smoking outside so you'd smell the smoke inside. the rooms are dark (lack of bright lights) and the beds are firm. The breakfast at the youth hostel is basic and not homemade. there is a fridge and also a stove.

We stayed in an apartment in the new Aladin annex, it was large and really high quality, including a good kitchen and dining area, Excellent base for a few days in Interlaken. A little way out but no real inconvenience- nice 30 min walk to the centre of town or the station via the lake and the youth hostel bus number 9 runs every half hour from the station and stops outside. Breakfast, table tennis, laundry and super-helpful staff next door at the youth hostel (which really is for youths not the middle aged like us).

Positives:||The view from the hotel is spectacular. You could see the snow covered mountains from your room. The hotel is at walking distance from the lake. The location is decent with a direct bus from the train station. The bathroom, though shared, was good and clean. They provided the hair dryer and the electric kettle we asked for.||||Negatives:||The hotel is without lifts, so was difficult to drag the luggage. The price is quite high compared to the facilities you get. The breakfast was of average quality. The room itself is small and with shared bathroom. So despite of paying a huge amount you don't get a private room. No 24x7 reception; no one will be available after 8PM till 8AM. So better to make all your payment done a day before in case you plan to leave early in the morning. Got electric shock while I touched one of the switch, but there was no one available at the reception whom I can complain to

My Skeleton and bobsled team came for a week and had a blast at Hotel Stille. The staff was wonderful and friendly. We had breakfast and dinner daily at the hotel and enjoyed the meals. We played darts downstairs and enjoyed meeting locals and other athletes/teams also staying at the Hotel. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay here again.

David and the other staff make us want to come back almost every year. We normally stay here for a month or more during the summer in the apartments or studios which have full kitchens. Breakfast is actually something we look forward to in particular, especially because of the coffee and fresh sliced bread. Convenient access into the forest trails only a stone’s throw out the door—a shortcut to the two closest lakes. A short walk up the street from a few restaurants selections and the Ovaverva spa/gym.

Great rooms for us, but we were a big group, so sharing bathrooms was of no problem for us. Wifi was not working very well in our room, but downstairs in the dining room it was fine. Lots of room in the common areas, so that was nice, it was even possible having dinner outside.
