Hotel Laudinella

The hotel was being remodeled so we’re moved to another. No restaurant, no room service, and the shower was 2/3rds the size of a phone booth. Quite ackward.

Hello Expedia, This is regarding Itinerary # 72527315933031. We booked two rooms for two days at Hotel Laudinella in St.Moritz, Switzerland from 10 to 12 June. I initially contacted you on 4th June regarding cancellation of one room, explaining the situation of my parents, who are senior citizens and were tired after sightseeing and travel in the US and were unable to travel to Switzerland. Expedia spoke to the Hotel and informed me that the hotel is not accepting cancellation. Then I called the hotel directly and the lady initially said that I can speak to the manager once I am there at the Hotel on 10 June. When I reached the Hotel on 10th, I explained the previous discussion had with Expedia and the hotel staff and I told him that we are only two adults with one child and we need only one room. He did not entertain the request and gave me the keys for two rooms. He said that he cannot do anything and the people in the reservation desk already left for the day and I will have to wait till next morning. Next morning, I enquired for the reservation desk, but the lady at the reception called a number and asked me to talk to the person on phone line, saying that the other person on the line is from the reservation team. The lady on the phone line rejected my request citing Expedia rules do not permit to refund/credit. So, Expedia is blaming the hotel and hotel is blaming Expedia. I request you to look into the problem and issue a credit so that I can use it later.

While the room was big, the power sockets around the room was poorly positioned around the room. There were either no shelves near the power socket or the table was far too low from the power socket. It felt as though the hotel never gave thought about such basic needs.

Clean room, great breakfast and friendly staff. Overall, I am a highly satisfied customer.

Great property and very spacious for European hotels! The wood appearance, the stenciling, the fireplace in the main area , all felt very “ski lodgy “ and charming. Again our room was very large and spacious compared to other European hotels. My disappointment , the spa area was closed for a couple weeks and that’s one of the reasons I had selected this hotel bc as an American, I wanted to experience a European hotel spa and the full experience. 😞. The breakfast was plentiful ! Of all the places I could have selected with a hotel spa. I understand of course that maintenance and upkeep have to occur but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed and sad that that had to happen during her one night I was there. I would certainly stay there again though!

Without a vehicle you must use their dining which is connected to the bar- very noisy and a very limited menu choices.

The service and friendliness was exceptional good - also true for the restaurant - the menu selection was great and what they served was delicious! Pay attention that you make a reservation for a refurbished room ... construction work/noise still going on

Absolutely perfect - the Covid-19 precautions were excellent and not intrusive. The breakfast buffet items were all separate with the birchermuesli and joghurt in small glasses. Everything was done to make the guest safe. The staff were perfection itself, being polite and especially the gentleman at reception very helpful.

The best buffet for breakfast that I ever saw

Was a basic hotel with basic amenities and neat n clean.

Excellent location & great food. Convenient base for winter walking. Friendly staff, providing good advise and information. Although coffee/tea provided free in common area, it would have been better if facilities are provided in the room.

The hotel is very large, centrally located and convenient. Very comfortable stay with an excellent buffet breakfast and great access to indoor pool and spa. One expects basic amenities like shampoo, conditioner and shower cap in the room though, which were surprisingly not supplied.

Access to pool area. Staff is very friendly. Plenty of things to do at the hotel.

Great to have a shuttle from the train station. Easy walk to downtown St Moritz and a delicious breakfast!

I stayed in a Superior Double Room with Balcony for 6 nights. The room was quite large. The balcony had 2 chairs and a small table. The room had many windows, with great views of the mountains. Ample plugs and lighting. With the windows closed, it is pretty quiet, but there is some noise from the parking lot and bus route in front of the hotel. Dark curtains blocked the light well. There is a safe and a water heater for tea. No fridge. The TV had quite a few channels in English. Lots of closet space. The room was very clean.The staff was friendly and helpful. There is only one elevator in the section I was in, and it was very slow. Great wi-fi. The hotel is right next to a bus stop, which allows you to get anywhere in the area (free with the transportation pass included with 2+ nights stay). The breakfast buffet was large, with breads, cheeses, salami, etc; yogurt, cereals, fruit; a chef cooking eggs to order, fried rice, OJ. The hotel gets bus tours, so it was busy, but I never had trouble getting food quickly or finding a seat. The hotel has a number of different restaurants, which provided some nice options.

Lovely large hotel. Beautiful room, well stocked, lovely staff. Staying at the hotel includes a shuttle from the train station and use of the St. Moritz city pool. At first, I was a little put off by the fact that we had to walk up the street to swim, but the city pool is one of the most beautiful swimming facilities that I've ever seen. Multiple pools, including an outdoor deck pool with Alps views, and a lovely spa. Laudinella is in St Moritz Bad, not the city center, but it has a lot of bars and restaurants and, with the shuttle service, we never felt isolated. The only down side is that the hotel caters to tour groups (probably standard for this type of hotel in this area at this time of year), but they can make a lot of commotion when they arrive and leave the hotel (or descend on the breakfast buffet).

The hotel is okay, I guess. I am just really disappointed by St. Moritz. I can’t think of any reason, honestly, to go there. If there was ever an attractive Old World kind of village there, with any kind of historical charm, it is gone now, torn down for Prada and foo-foo designer nonsense stores. My advice: skip St. Moritz.

Overall, a great 3* hotel. Staff, room and services very good. No negatives.

We had a very nice spacious room with a balcony facing the snow capped mountains! The location is great too, walking distance to the lake. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel where we can take to town. We also like the different variety of restaurants. And the free shuttle pickup from & to the Train station.
