Hotel Bernina

Second stay, see my Aug 2016 review. All I said then still stands, except Sandra's no longer there, shame, but if anything the food is better, either that or my appreciation is affected by a less than satisfactory experience elsewhere last year. Different room, same floor, basin no longer in bedroom, which is odd as the rooms on the fire escape map appear the same size. Two chairs this time, so perhaps the room was bigger. Tripadvisor's headline photo of a somewhat luxurious chandeliered dining room is of the Hotel Bernina in Samedan, which I pointed out some years ago. Rooms are being renovated, and from what I glimpsed through an open door, very nicely, to a high standard. Which is only what I'd expect from the standards set by the hotel. I hope those staying in renovated rooms were paying more than us, but hope prices don't increase when the renovation is complete, which will make the hotel expensive, and is a contradiction, so I'll probably be disappointed. I thought the dated effect was an affectation, but the carpet in our room was very badly faded to judge from the colour away from the window, but spotless and not at all worn, just the colour had been taken.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Bernina, conveniently located on the main street near shops and restaurants and a 1 minute walk from a Coop. All of the employees were friendly and efficient. The delicious breakfast offered a large selection of foods, including cook to order eggs. The owners went to a lot of time and effort pre-plating and plastic wrapping all of the foods offered, giving their guest extra peace of mind during these Covid times. Our room was the highlight of our stay! It was a huge, beautifully decorated corner room on the 4th floor ( U.S. 4th). It was immaculately clean and everything was in pristine condition. We had 2 Juliet balconies and mountain and town views from all of the windows. The updated and modern bathroom was very large and offered a lot of storage and shelf space. We would definitely choose to stay at Hotel Bernina again and would recommend it to others!
