During our stay, we decided to stay at the Olympic Hotel Montana, located in the very heart of Montana. The location is pleasant and convenient, close to the ice rink and the casino, and surrounded by small cafés. The hotel itself is situated in a one-way pedestrian zone, so do not be alarmed when approaching.
The hotel is not particularly easy to spot from the street, as the Amadeus Bar is far more visible than the hotel entrance itself. It is also worth noting that the reception desk operates only until 22:30. As we arrived later, we were checked in by a member of the bar staff.
An important note for guests with walking disabilities: there is a very slim chance that a wheelchair or baby stroller will fit into the elevator. The lift is very old and extremely small, and it does not have an interior door, so you can see it moving between floors. Additionally, when arriving at the selected floor (in our case, the first floor), the elevator stops slightly below floor level, which makes exiting difficult even with suitcases.
The room itself was spacious, with a single bed made up of two mattresses. The pillows and bedding were very comfortable, and the bathroom was also generously sized. The room featured a large balcony with two chairs, offering a view of a charming street and partial mountain views to the left. Overall, the room was acceptable.
Breakfast, however, was mediocre. While the food was fine, we expected a wider selection. The breakfast room was extremely crowded, making it difficult to access the food. In many cases, you had to wait for another guest to leave before being able to reach the dishes comfortably.
If you are arriving by car, be sure to reserve a parking space as early as possible by contacting the hotel directly. The hotel has fewer parking spaces than rooms. There are two parking options: an outdoor forecourt area, which is quite tight even for a small car, and an underground garage, which we imagine to be even narrower. Parking costs CHF 20 per night.
Overall, this hotel would not be our first recommendation. Considering the relatively high price, we expected a higher standard.
