Best Western Stoten Ski Hotel

this hotel is with superb location! really center. our room (room 400) is facing the world cup slope. so i can even stand on our balcony and watch my daughter and my husband skiing down. we were four families traveling together between christmas and new year and all had a great time here! i highly recommend people to book the king suit if it is available. our friend booked one and it was much bigger than our junior suit - with its own sauna and jacuzzi.. i think the price per week is only 2000 sek more. We really like the common areas in this hotel - all with view to the ski slope. also there are locked ski storage areas on each floor and by the entrance of the buildings - very convenient. The hotel restaurant is quite beautifully decorated - breakfast is a bit boring and same everyday, but dinner was fine. kids menu are only around 75 sek and kids can also choose some buffet (different theme every night) for the same price. The only complains are that rooms did not seem to be cleaned every day - or i shall say the cleaning were done very fast and not thoroughly. Also, charging of our car is not included in the price. Nevertheless, i feel this hotel is good value for money and we would like to come back next year.

We stayed there for 7 days during new years. We booked and paid all meals from home. Everyday we waited more than 1 hour for our food, and often the waiters forgot simple orders. They all seemed very inexperienced, and poorly managed. The areas with furniture and fireplace, were always messy and filthy, which meant we could no use this. The mandatory gift vouchers from Best Western as a Diamond member, issued from the hotel upon arrival, they bar/restaurant did not accept. I recommend all other hotels in the area besides this one, very bad experience.

We went on this trip on the advice of Ski Safari who booked us into this hotel, and couldn't believe our luck. Ski in and out par excellence, ski storage in the corridor outside our room (never had that before), terrific food, friendly service at all times from the staff who all speak English. The skiing is great for Beginners and Intermediates to build confidence (adventurous skiers won't find enough here). Probably best to avoid the local area winter holiday when some of the slopes get a bit crowded. We would definitely return to the hotel and the resort.

We arrived here thinking we was staying at the Best Western on the ski resort, but in actual fact we was just down the hill in some beautiful cosy log cabins. They are basic but have everything you might need, apart from a kettle.. but hey! what's wrong with a pan and water?? that's what we did, was quite nice going back to real basics actually. The views from the cabins were amazing, deep snowy woodland. It had a lovely restaurant before the ski resort called Annika's Cok and it was out of this world, the staff were so attentive and made us feel extra special as I think we were the only English tourists here, not that that matters as their English is pretty good and they made us feel very welcome. Then on the second night we visited the ski resort, it has variable restaurants and a steakhouse that looks straight onto the ski slope, its beautiful, bowling, night club, shops, it's really got everything you might need to be really content. We didn't ski, this was our lodgings as we was on a trip to go ice driving, but skiing looked amazing and has inspired us to learn so we can re-visit!
