The staff at the hotel are super friendly, welcoming and accommodating, allowing us to stay beyond check-out to wait for our transfer and speaking to us like friends when we bumped into each other in town !
The rooms are nice, a small balcony, good size bathroom and big bed, the decoration was a slightly odd theme but it added to the charm. Only issue was it got super hot in the rooms, and the bathroom floor would get soaked after a shower, but both things you can put aside for the price and friendliness.
The location is great too, only a few minutes to the gondola, and to the old town and the main tourist streets, but still situated in a quieter part of the town away from loud pubs which means you can get an early night before getting up early for the slopes again.
They have a small pool which may not provide much as a means of exercise but it's always appreciated after a long day on the slopes.

Read moreMy partner and I stayed at Ida Hotel for 5 nights in January for a ski holiday. The hotel is in a great location, about 8 mins walk to the Gondola and around 3-4 minutes walk to the main high street. We had the breakfast which was really nice, we had omelettes, cheese on toast and continental breakfast, all of which were delicious. The owner, Danny, was very friendly and helpful and would go out of his way to make sure you were happy. We had a late flight and Danny let us use the facilities before we left and kept our luggage.
