Hotel Ariston B&B and Restaurant Madonna di Campiglio

My family has just finished a week's stay at Hotel Ariston and we couldn't have been more impressed with the hospitality of Andrea and Paula and their lovely staff. They speak excellent English, care passionately about the experience of their guests and were hugely welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. We had quite a lot of admin to do with green passes and ski passes and Andrea's help was invaluable and offered unconditionally. The hotel is reltively small but expertly run. There is a wellbeing centre with a small pool and sauna (not operating when we were there). The rooms were very clean and although fairly basic, served our purposes completely. The hotel is located centrally in Campiglio and was a short walk away from numerous bars, restaurants and shops. The nearest ski lift is about 6-7 mins walk uphill or there's another about 7-8 mins downhill. On the way home the nearest slope ends about 100 yards from the hotel. The food in the hotel was first rate. A delicious selection of local dishes, all cooked and served beautifully. We did half board and enjoyed wonderful suppers with a chef's starter, a primi piatti, main course and pudding. There were at least three selections and they also cooked dishes especially for the kids if they didn't like the options. The hotel also had an impressive wine list and Andrea is a sommelier who knows huge amounts about his cellar. He advised us nightly on wine selections. We stayed over New Year and enjoyed the gala dinner on 31/12 with umpteen courses and a wine tasting menu (optional extra) which was great fun. Breakfast was a typical continental affair with cereals, juices, meats and cheeses, fresh bread, pastries and the option (€3) of cooked breakfast which our kids loved. In all, it was a great place to stay: friendly, warm, hospitable, great food and lovely staff who all worked unbelievably hard to make our stay enjoyable. Special thanks also to Matteo for serving us so kindly throughout. I can thoroughly recommend Hotel Ariston and look forward to returning there in the future.

Ottima struttura, in centro. Personale molto cordiale e gentile. Colazione ottima per abbondanza e varietà, locali comuni molto curati. Buon servizio SPA, piccolo ma accogliente. Ottimo il servizio di parcheggio coperto, molto comdo.

Aspetti positivi: Hall moderna e accogliente; personale abbastanza cordiale; buona colazione. Aspetti negativi: receptionist/proprietari hanno provato in 2 occasioni a farmi pagare più del dovuto (parcheggio e bevande cena)… episodi assolutamente incresciosi. Per non parlare della fase di prenotazione delle camere. Titolari veramente pessimi. Stanze piccole e poco confortevoli (qualità prezzo abbastanza bassa); piscina spa con acqua fredda. Il voto è molto basso soprattutto per il comportamento tenuto dai proprietari.
