Most disappointing hotel stay I’ve had in my life not in a third world country…

This really was the most disappointing hotel experience I’ve ever had that wasn’t in a third world country! I found this awfully strange as I had visited twice before in previous years and love it. To begin with upon arrival we were shown to our rooms, which were the most basic option, these were not 5 star hotel rooms! There was nothing to hold the shower head in the bath. As we entered an appliance feel out of the wall and the member of staff apologised about the room. I shall also note to self that the sink is the perfect height for my future children when they are between 4 and 6 years old. Next came the lovely spa we had enjoyed previously… There were so many people there was no room to enjoy any of the endless different self treatments. The sad part about this was that we had found out the the type of foot wear of 95% of the people meant that they were people who were not staying at the hotel!! Me and my family just sat in the tiny pool where the wonderful mud bath used to be that they seemed to have got rid of. Then came drinks at the bar… I was served a lovely large G&T with my girlfriend and the rest of my family while we sat on the most uncomfortable sofas imaginable (you will hear more about uncomfortable seating later). There was also no table for any of the nibbles we received or our drinks. In that place the was a strange metal and glass stricture between us all that could only be described by my father as a “cat toaster” just an awful and useless item! Next came dinner in the restaurant… Just as we remembered the grand dining room was a beautiful sight and setting to behold!! Unfortunately it was filled with the same tiny desks, from our 2 star quality rooms, all in a line accompanied by tiny bamboo stools from the local vegan coffee shop, instead of the grand table and chair befitting the grand dining room! When we asked why our chairs were so uncomfortable and about replacing them they noted that they had better chairs in the other rooms, we just couldn’t have them… so we decided to get our own. At this point we had asked to see the manager twice and never saw him/ her at all Now having previously eaten in the restaurant I wasn’t expecting to be eating Michelin star food,though I liked it enough to go again for one of the two nights I was staying. Where to begin… the starter of Italian cold meats and cheeses we the same exact basic assortment given to me in the bar only 10 minutes before… the steak tartare was certainly minced beef I could get that much and it was also nicely presented, on the other hand I don’t think they have ever heard of salt/pepper/capers/onions/gherkins/parsley or any of the other ingredients I put in mine when I make it, making their dish viciously bland. I was at least excited for my primi pati that was labelled “mixed game ragu with fresh tagliolini” doesn’t that sound amazing? I might aswell have gone to frankies and bennies and asked for their bolognese but with now sauce! The beef wasn’t terrible just very chewy and not much else on the plate. We didn’t order dessert as we really couldn’t stomach anymore disappointment. The wine we had was a small saving grace as I do enjoy Italian red and I also knew I had the amazing breakfast to look forward to that I had had before to make it all feel better… Our morning breakfast… Before I’d left my (2 star) room to go and enjoy the fabulous breakfast I know this hotel puts on, I received a message from my father reading “breakfast equally as disappointing”. USUALLY there are enormous variety’s and quantities of different meats, cheeses and pastries. There were home made jams and fresh juices and on and on… this time nothing just a trap at your seat with a small selection of pastries, that in fairness were not so bad but it’s sad as I know it can be so much more! Even more upsetting was the bottomless lack of normal items. Starting with ketchup, I mean really. Most people also wish for orange juice at breakfast, they had orange juice…. For an extra €5 per serving!!!! In a 5 star hotel!! Finally when we asked a member of staff politely about all of these issues, he said in his limited English “sorry sir this is the direction”. Which I think meant that he knew that the hotel was going in the direction of all of these poor qualities… This is about all I can muster and I’m sure a lot of you were already board at this point and you already knew not to visit this place. Sadly this is now a must avoid for anyone looking to stay in Bormio and you should not consider it…

Amazing 800’s ambience - good food - excellent service

If you feel like going back in time, even if you are not a hotel guest, book a table at the Grand Hotel Bagni Nuovi’s restaurant. A truly amazing rich ambience, all in 800’s Liberty style, as if you’d be going to a formal dining area of that era, with live classic piano music on site, and a huge fire place and a beautiful view, if you pick one of the few tables by the windows. The cuisine is quite ‘classic’ Italian, sticker price is up to par to the five star surroundings but not too expensive, the cantine and wine selection is quite good. If you want to impress, also a romantic place to go to, for sure.

Good but not perfect

I really enjoyed staying here. The hotel is beautiful, the room nicely decorated, the bed (and pillows) is comfortable, the bathroom clean and the view was stunning! The spa was great and I really enjoyed it after a day of work. The breakfast was good and it was more than enough. But, for a 5-star hotel, I would have expected a bit more (like, there was no icing on the cake). When we arrived, there was no one to greet us at the entrance. We had to wait for a receptionist. She was really nice, friendly and helpful but we had to wait for her. There are free sweets and a coffee machine in the entrance which is enjoyable but I would expect someone to offer it to me. It is nothing I need everyday but, in a 5-star, I expect the best. What is above 5 stars? I have an additional remark: I paid 260€ for my room and my colleague 198€. We asked why there was such a difference. The answer was that I had a classic room for a single person and that my colleague had a single room. But, he had an extra dressing room and a bath tub and a shower in the bathroom. Whereas I had just a shower and no dressing room, just a small closet. So I still think, there was a mistake (also, when we arrived the day before, the other receptionist told my colleague he had been upgraded...). As, in the end, it is paid by my employer, I don’t care about the money but I expect more from a 5-star hotel. Still I would recommend it but small improvements would be highly appreciated.…

Maybe once upon a time - like, a long time ago

This place is simply past it's prime. I imagine a long time ago, this may have been the place to go. The staff really ruined an otherwise mediocre stay. Rude, inconsiderate and simply unprofessional staff holding on to yesteryear. The food was actually terrible. Coming from NYC, the group of us universally agreed this was some of the worst food we've ever been served. Search elsewhere.
