Complaints

Noise and Room Complaints at Hotel Chalet Al Foss: Which Rooms to Avoid

  • Relentless daytime music (euro-pop, house music, DJ sets) from 3–7pm at extremely high volume is inappropriate for a mountain wellness retreat and prevents relaxation even in rooms. 21 reviews
  • Pervasive traffic noise from the busy provincial road directly beside the hotel undermines the peaceful mountain getaway promised; road-facing rooms are especially disturbed. 19 reviews
  • Paper-thin walls allow guests to hear conversations, activities, and intimate moments from neighboring rooms and hallway — soundproofing is inadequate for a luxury 5-star property. 14 reviews
Rooms to avoid
  • Upper floors (5th floor mentioned as having pool circulation noise)
  • Rooms facing the provincial road (directly adjacent to traffic)
  • Rooms near spa/pool area (daytime DJ set 3–7pm audible)

Bathroom & water
Hot water reliable; shower water pressure adequate; bathrooms described as 'basic' or 'aged' in lower-category rooms; no soap/shampoo holder in shower (bottles sit on floor); no hand soap at sink.
Wi-Fi
Described as 'not the greatest'; poor connectivity in rooms despite being modern hotel.
Breakfast
À la carte service with fresh, high-quality pastries, juices, and variety; generally excellent and worth the cost; slow delivery even when restaurant is empty.
AC / heating
No air conditioning; heating/cooling via fans that are either noisy or ineffective; guests cannot regulate room temperature; major complaint in warm weather.
Elevator
Unreliable

Local knowledge

Book the 'Platinum' photography/proposal package only if you visit in person first to verify their equipment and setup quality — several guests reported unprofessional execution at critical moments.
Request a room away from the provincial road (via WhatsApp after booking) to avoid traffic and construction noise; road-facing rooms are notably louder.
Book spa and 'exclusive experiences' (alpaca breakfast, treehouse dinner) at least 1 month ahead — they fill quickly and are unavailable otherwise.
