We continue to stay at the Christiania because it is steps from the gondola in Vail Village, offers comfortable suites with fireplaces and two bathrooms, convenient ski and boot storage, helpful, friendly service from all desk attendants, a cozy room to have a reasonably priced breakfast, and parking.
Bedding is sublimely comfortable, but the furniture is old and nicked, the wallpaper and carpets dated to about 1920’s Bavarian. We love it!

Our first encounter with staff was delightful. We were permitted to keep our car, as well as our travel partners who were locals, leave our vehicles in their lot overnight while we biked to Colorado Springs. Every staff member we met were friendly and helpful, always with a smile. Our room had charm, was comfortable and spacious, and the curtains matched the wallpaper!!! Now that’s a classic. I would highly recommend a stay in this charming hotel.

Christiania very nice hotel, and have stayed at their condo properties "bridge street lodge", so all as expected nice and great location. I would recommend the hotel or their properties, always ask what the rooms include, i.e. fireplace, kitchen, etc. so you are aware of your choices

The pizza smell from the restaurant was overpowering (it smelled all day and all night). The party noise outside the room lasted until 2:20 am on Sat night / Sun morning. This was not the original room I requested; I would never ask for a room above a restaurant and bar. I wish I had my original room.

Prior to booking this room, we were not advised that there is an outdoor restaurant patio directly beneath the room. This patio was complete with outdoor speakers which played loud music from noon until 11pm each day/night. Views from this party patio extended into our room and views from the main Vail gondola also extended into our room. If you desire acoustic or visual privacy then do not book room 308 at the Christiana Bridge Street Studios. The finishes of the room were run down, dirty and there was mold and mildew in the bathroom. This did not match the updated finishes shown on the hotel website. I feel we were deceived as to the sound and privacy issues and finishes. The front desk was supposed to open at 7 but nobody bothered to show up until7:30. Total disappointment.

Hotel is located in a wonderful location. Overall facilities were kept clean (although outdated we didn't find an issue with cleanliness). That said we booked a 3 bedroom condo (4 adults, 2 kids ages 6 and 9), one of the rooms was completely unusable due its placement relative to the main level. It was right above a pizza restaurant (which we came to a quick realization the moment we walked in and the entire place smelled like a pizza had just been baked). At first, we thought they prior renters had just checked out and assumed that wasn't so much of an issue. We dropped our luggage and upon our return the place still smelled and foyer floor was very warm, but worse than that the room by it was HOT. Due to the location of this, the ONLY double room (right above the oven of said restaurant) it rendered the room completely unusable given how hot it was. We "gave it chance" by opening the windows at night, turning on EVERY fan, but still, the thermostat didn't go below 83 degrees. By midnight we checked again, it was still 81 degrees (fans on and windows and double doors wide open) I'm sure this would be completely fine during the winter months but unfortunately, we paid for a 3 bedroom and were able to use two, neither one with a double bed. Luckily they had enough spare comforters and fans so we made a makeshift floor bed in the living room area. Having to have all the windows blasted open you could hear all the commotion and partying fro Vail village. This would definitely be an issue for a family with babies or those that have a hard time sleeping as not opening is the windows is not an option for this unit. Luckily it dies down a bit after 11-11:30 pm or so. In our case, the 8 fans we had running muted the outdoor noise a bit. Due to the limited availability of the front guest staff (not necessarily an issue) we were able to connect to the maintenance person who was very prompt and kind to bring us more fans and told us he'd leave a message for the front desk staff. They never reached out to us about the issue. We never received a call or follow up. Lastly, the other issue was the wifi. It wasn't connected to the network the entire time we were there so we were not able to use it on any of our devices, but again, don't advertise a service that doesn't work. Again, we thought it was a "1st night issue" but unfortunately it never got to work during our stay. That all said, this condo was located in an accessible location, we loved that part of it. We found the pool area enjoyable and the facilities clean and quaint. We'd like to give this nice resort another chance, maybe we end up with a better room or at least get what we pay for but unless we're guaranteed a better-located room we may have to go with another choice, unfortunately.

Dear A2448JMandreas, Thank you for your review and we are sorry your accommodations were not up to your expectations. It looks like you stayed at the Plaza Lodge, which enjoys one of the best locations in Vail, a stone's throw away from Gondola One. However, it is above Vendettas restaurant. We would love to have your business again and manage over 50 vacation rentals in the village, I'm sure we can find the right one for you. Thank you, The Christiania at Vail

Condo had plenty of space, but the conditions were awful and unhygienic. Elevator was smelly. Carpet could use replacement or good cleaning. We put one of those bacteria lights around the room. Quite scary and the floor was the worst. Room carpet was old and smelly and we could see it. No dusting done in a long time. One lamp had a thick coat of greasy dust😖. One of the bathrooms had a smell. Felt like most of condo had not been updated since the 70s. Lighting throughout was very poor. Kitchen had been updated and was nice. Didn’t trust the hygiene there though. Let them know about the a gas smell in hall and their solution was to air out by leaving side door open. Also fireplace structure was broken and dangerous.
The location was so great, out the front door and a few steps and you are in the middle of everything. Everything is walkable, plus there is a free bus stop nearby, if you want. The transportation center is also very close, where you can catch buses to other locations too. Trails, amphitheater, river, ski lifts and gondola are steps away. Really don’t need a car, although when I checked in with a car they never explained the parking situation at all. When I asked the next day the gentleman at desk explained and was quite nice. Best thing about this place is the location.

No AC and provided fans are loud. The noise coming from the open windows is loud until bars close and then again with trash pick up at 6:30am. Maybe mountain facing rooms are better but manager was happy to rent us a room she knows is hot and loud. Ruined a weekend getaway

Great location and hassle free access to the ski resort. The condo is a bit aged but you can't beat its location, right across the street from Golden Peak Access Point.

Village restaurants is mostly with easy 5-10 minutes working distance, so is public transportations

The Christiania is one of the oldest lodges in Vail (if my memory serves me correctly) located in the old center of Vail Village. It's character and older (ok mid-centuryish Vail) character and location should be designated a(n) historic district. The Christianian and the adjacent center of Vail is charminga and should be protected for its historic character, unique unto itself. The Christiania has a staff that provides the friendliness and unpretentious warmth that comes with this character.

We stayed at one of the managed condominiums that come with the Christiania staff and amenities.

I have always been there during off season when not many people are in Vail. They have very friendly, helpful staff so you can contact them and they can answer you question.

That may be too close for a full refund but if you ask to change the booking to a later date, they might accommodate you with no loss on your part. Either way, call the front desk directly and ask. Good luck!

When we went in July, they would charge for their adjacent parking, but they also mentioned that the Vail Parking garage was free - and nearby (~2 blocks). We parked in the Vail parking garage - and would do it again.
