Well located 4 * hotel in town center with good views of the mountains. Rooms are the size of a large studio apartment as property is also a timeshare. There was a sitting area and a separate table for 4 and also a kitchen sink (no cooking facilities). The bathrooms are also large. It is an old property but in good condition and in the alps we prefer the old world charm with lot of wood. Housekeeping was very good as was the reception staff. The bar on the ground floor was popular for an after dinner coffee or drink. Breakfast was not upto the mark. There was only one kind of a cheese slice and scrambled eggs were dry and luke warm at best. Again only a low fat milk that too served out of the tetra packs. Other than that plastic cups in the rooms rather than glasses and only a shower gel and shampoo in the bathrooms. These are minor improvements which would make the property top notch as overall we really enjoyed our stay.

“Weekend in Cortina”

We spent two nights at Cristallino d’Ampezzo Hotel. The staff is really kind and welcoming, don’t hesitate to ask them for any information! Our room was very spacious, but the furniture a bit old.

We spent two nights at Cristallino d’Ampezzo Hotel. The staff is really kind and welcoming, don’t hesitate to ask them for any information! Our room was very spacious, but the furniture a bit old. We really appreciate the variety offered for breakfast and waiters’ cordiality. The position is also perfect to reach the center by foot. The only thing quite uncomfortable is the absence of a passage to reach the ski depot from the hotel, because you have to pass through the garage. However, you can ask in reception for a porter if you need your gear upstairs.

“Well placed hotel but noisy and could have a renovation touch for both the bathroom and room.”

Well placed hotel, friendly staff but very noisy as our room was placed on street side. Definitely ask for one on the back side of the hotel. The room was small, the shower tiny and needs definitely a modern renovation as everything all looks like nothing has changed since the 80’s. But very thankf… more

“Good location; nice staff; dated decor ”

I stayed here for three nights whilst skiing the Cortina area. The hotel is in a good location - a short walk from the town centre.

I stayed here for three nights whilst skiing the Cortina area. The hotel is in a good location - a short walk from the town centre. There is also a bus stop directly outside which takes you to the main ski lifts. The decor of the hotel is extremely dated, and it needs an overhaul. My room was fairly basic, albeit a good size and very clean. Breakfast was good quality - with cold meats, cereals and fresh cakes, and the staff (both at breakfast and more generally) very attentive. I would thoroughly recommend skiing in Cortina; the slopes are excellent (long runs and good for all abilities - though beginners will tend to be based in one area) and not too crowded. There are good restaurants on the pistes, and prices aren’t too steep (much more reasonable than many other resorts). The town is lovely - and well worth visiting in winter or summer.
