Hotel Central Gotthard

We stayed here for a week in January whilst skiing in the Lech Zurs area. We found the hotel to be well appointed and were greeted very warmly as first time visitors. All the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a garden view room and found it to have everything we needed and to be of reasonable size. We particularly appreciated having an arm chair each (so often only one is provided, so one has to sit on a desk chair or bed). The housekeeping was good. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and really enjoyed the breakfast with the homemade bakery products. All aspects of the breakfast were good. The hotel is well placed for skiers. A short 3 minute walk to the cable cars up to Rufikopf or a 6minute walk to the chair lifts on the Oberlech side of the valley. The ski storage room was one of the best we'd encountered. The lockers are fitted out to store skis/ snowboards and to store and heat/ dry boots, gloves and helmets. Fabulous warm dry boots each day. We made use of the pool and sauna each day after skiing and found these facilities excellent. The receptionists booked dinner for us at a varity of places within easy walking distance and we appreciated these recommendations. This included meals in the hotel's Lecher Stube. The owner and his wife went out of their way to look after their guests. We were staying during very heavy snow conditions, where many came in early or indeed didn't venture out - so they put on a baking demonstration and micro brewery tour including tasting, in the basement of the hotel, explaining much of the history. Touches like this added to our enjoyment of the holiday. All in all a wonderful hotel which we wouldn't hesitiate to recommend.

I'd never been to this part of Europe before, and the geography is stunning. For a week Hotel Gotthard was home for myself, my wife and our 3yro. The tramways are extremely close, and we enjoyed heading up to the top of the mountains for fresh air, geology walks and views. The breakfast spread at the hotel was great, with a really fine selection of breads, cheeses and meats. Dinner there and at surrounding restaurants was extremely enjoyable, and there's a small grocery directly across from the Gotthard to assemble simple picnics or a light dinner. We loved it; a destination for a business conference mixed with a short vacation.
