Everything is super expensive. Last days of the year hotel was very crowded and noisy.

Place is breathing with the history. Charm in every detail. Location and the views are fantastic

Nothing

Respect for history and tradition. Wonderful views of the mountains and an excellent restaurant.

The facade of the hotel needs more attention (and lots of money for renovations)

A most comprehensive breakfast with tasty offerings

I would have liked to see even more cats.

I loved meeting the cats, and it was great to see how well they were treated by the hotel staff.

We enjoyed this classic Swiss hotel, but we did not like the unpleasant smell of the old room.

We really liked the atmosphere of the hotel. Location is perfect. We really enjoyed walking around the hotel and the botaniums were fantastic. Restaurant was fine.

Outstanding front desk

The sauna in the spa could be more spacious. It was very crowded on saturday so that it was not enjoyable, there was no space to cool down and rest after the heat in the sauna. Also it was very cold in the rooms, luckily we got an extra heater for our room.

The hotel has a very special atmosphere, that can not be explained by words I think. The staff is top, very charismatic and professional. I loved the view from the hotel.

Incredible and unique location. This should be on everyone's bucketlist for a once in a lifetime visit. The air, the view and the silence are just incredible.

As the hotel is old, the condition of the hotel in some places may not be up to modern standards. However, this is part of the historic charm, and is in no way any meaningful disturbance

This hotel provides the rare experience of traveling back in time, with exquisite original furnishings and lavish interiors from a bygone time. Everyone familiar with Mann’s the magic mountain, will immediately recognize the inspirational material, and soon find him/herself on the «horizontal» position, enjoying the wonderful view, and possibly enjoying a Maria Mancini, walking in the footsteps of Hans Castorp. My stay was magical, and i look forward to coming back

There was a party event on the evening I stayed. I stayed on the 1st floor and couldn’t sleep even with ear plugs due to the bass. The staff were very accommodating and I was able to move to another room which was better. I would request a room on the 2nd floor in future to avoid such a problem.

Beautiful location. Old but well maintained building and room. Like stepping back in time! Great dinner and breakfast. Good opportunities for walking.

Breakfast wasn't great - sad selection, I don't need a big variety, small is enough but some fresh local produce would be amazing.

Lovely staff truly kind accommodating flexible informative beautiful people. Gorgeous building and surroundings...breathtaking views, excellent location to go on hikes, and it has 2 botanical gardens too - it is a piece of heaven on Earth!!!!!

So just be aware that this hotel requires a lot of imagination as it is in fact crumbling. There are no modern amenities of any king - even the radios in the rooms are at least 50 years old. It is all quite charming in fact, but for example all the rooms (even if clean) smell of the 100 000 of guests that passed through them through the ages (they are carpeted so small wonder). The family that owns the hotel stopped investing in it probably in the 70s (this was when our room was updated) and it really shows. Also - be aware that all rooms are different and that what you book on booking.com might differ from what you get (I booked something that looked like a charming room full of antiques and got a 70's room instead - it was fine, as the view from the balcony was great, but keep it in mind). Also - this is not a criticism, but if there isn't enough snow the private ski lifts are unusable (they do not have the ability to put artificial snow on the hotel's slopes) and also the sledge run gets closed for safety reasons. Make sure you take all this into consideration when booking. Also if this hotel were to be renovated the prices would make it unaffordable for mere mortals.

There's magic in this hotel. One feels transported 100 or at least 80-70 years back in time, it is an art-nouveau gem, a capsule in time, with fantastic ambiance and beautiful interiors. The staff are extremely helpful and polite, giving a service much more appropriate for a 5 star establishment, and not a 3 star one - the status the hotel has now. Just looking out of the gigantic windows in the bar/foyer onto the fading light upon the mountains, while listening to Chopin being played on the piano and fire crackling in the fire place, sunbathing on the balcony, wandering the halls of the hotel and experiencing the "Magic Mountain" vibes is worth every penny! The breakfast was also amazing with plenty to choose from. And coming on and off the mountain via the hotel's funicular was something straight out of Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest hotel, which I feel the Schatzalp heavily inspired, just like it did Thomas Mann 100 years ago.

Very unfriendly manager. Staff overstretched. Overpriced even for season. Not felt welcome being a guest. Overdue mainteneance of hotel rooms and even lounge (broken sofas etc) Owner seems.not to invest into property and staff

Basic breakfast, no fresh juices

The Hotel and Rooms were left in a nostalgic stay from the 40-ies/50-ies. So were the beds. The rooms at 850 CHF a night were minuscule and outdated. The walkway looks more like a sanatorium then a Hotel, overdue renovation are pending, with broken sofas and the like. And the staff seems to be stressed to the edge with their workload, where the (German) Manager of the Hotel was everything else than friendly and welcoming towards his guests staying and celebrating the year end in Davos.

Location, on the top of Davos
