Family Hotel Review Hub

Car-free village - have to take the funicular from Lindthal. They will take you luggage for you and bring to your room, so pretty easy. They send you a pass for all public transport in Glarus so also free.  Food  Good, but not excellent. 3 choices at dinner - generally one meat, fish and vegetarian but one night they did one meat, one veggie and then one vegan, and that was a bit of a flop. Salad buffet was fine, but no real variation. Breakfast buffet was good quality food, but not the most impressive selection. Eggs to order and brought to your table though, which was good.  The dining room is really impressive without any real “bad” tables. All have a view and there’s enough space between tables that it’s not crowded.  After the storytime each evening a train drives the kids into their dining room. This was great - the kids can eat from their buffet at tables in the separate kids room (with supervision from parents) but it meant that our table in the main restaura...

  https://gorfion.li/ Time from Zurich: 2 hours drive or train to Sargans (1 hour) and 2 busses  Food Very good, table service in the evenings, lunch and cake buffet.  Really nice bar area that has recently been re-done. Nice ambience with a fireplace and good drinks menu Kids Club Not huge, but a room big enough for the kids to play downstairs. Seemed to be no-parents in general, although i think if it’s very quiet they will let parents play with their kids in there. There is a separate, small, play room for kids with parents. This does have a very cool soft-play area in it.  Amenities Very small pool. It’s modern and there is also a baby pool with slide, but it’s not a big area and basically no sun loungers etc.  Gym but it’s fairly small and in a building a walk over the road Other notes Some of the rooms are fairly small, but fine.  This family hotel doesn’t have nearly the amenities and offerings of the bigger ones. The hotel is also much smaller....

  Time from Zurich: 2-3 hours drive. No real public transport options.  https://www.oberjochresort.de/ Food Food was very good, basically continuously available (i think Pizza was always out from lunch till 9pm at the buffet). In the evening it's a buffet, although they have certain “plates” which they serve up for you and so it’s not just a buffet from a tray. Could sit outside in the evening. I enjoyed this dinner much more than I typically do with buffets, although I would probably prefer table-service, but the food was of a very good quality, so this wouldn’t stop us going back. Kids Club  Looked super nice, although we didn’t use much because we did most of our activities with Xavi. He went once or twice and was fine although apparently he did throw his dinner on the floor one time... {Added after 2nd visit} Emme was looked after very well in the baby room, often with 1:1 care. Xavi was again still a bit difficult but I think on reflection we should have sent him to ...

  Time from Zürich - 2 hours drive, not easy to get to by public transport because it’s not really in Schruns (nearest train station) https://www.falkensteiner.com/hotel-montafon Food Quality was fine, but they have “live cooking stations” for the buffet in the evening (no table service other than drinks) and it’s slow and you can end up spending ages in a queue, your partner will have already got their dish and is waiting for you back at the table, or one of you has to sit at the table with the kids whilst the other goes and waits 15 minutes for a steak. It just doesn’t work and the hotel can’t deal with the number of guests.  Breakfast very good, but see above. Probably wouldn’t go back because the evening buffet just wasn’t the type of evening meal we enjoy Kids Club  This was okay, although both the baby and kids room had adults with their kids in them as well as kids being watched by the staff.  Pool & Amenities Very nice family pool with outdoor area. Also ...

  Time from Zurich: 3 hour drive or train to Landeck-Zams and 2 buses up the hill. You could probably find a taxi company to drive you up to Fiss.  https://www.familienhotel-laurentius.com/ Food Good to very good. Lunch buffet was not so exciting/often left-overs from the night before but there was continuous food and cakes in the afternoon were nice.  First table they gave us was right in thoroughfare but they moved us to a nice window table on request  Kids buffet starts at 6 Kids Club  Had a really nice big play area indoors for parents and kids, including small soft play, games consoles and lots of ride-on cars.  Separate kids club without parents. Staff seemed very good. Flexible. Not chaotic and ratios seemed good. Lots of activities with the kids (e.g. going out on walks etc.)  Pool & Amenities Indoor and small outdoor pool for families. Fun triple slide. Nice little baby pool with toys. the pool area nice and new and renovated, never felt b...

  Time from Zurich: 3 hour drive or train to Landeck-Zams and 2 buses up the hill. You could probably find a taxi company to drive you up to Serfaus. Renting a car to drive there is a bit pointless because the village is car-free.  https://www.loewebaer.com/de/hotel-baer Good for: Visiting a really fantastic mountain area with endless things to do with kids Enjoying the beach club (outdoor pool, large sand play area and trampolines) when the weather is good Food We were in the smaller dining room (garden?) by the beach that was really nice and private. The main dining room seemed a bit more hectic The evening meal is very good. Breakfast buffet was a bit less exciting (fresh omelettes included) and the salad bar wasn’t very exciting, but the quality of the served meal compensated for this. The bar wasn’t great - a bit dingy and we didn’t have a drink there any evening, we were happier at our table in the restaurant.  Kids buffet starts 18:30, could be a bit of a rush to e...
