Hotel Solaria

There’s an Argentinian lady at the front desk, I also saw her helping out everywhere. She is simply a masterclass in hospitality! She made me feel so welcomed and tried to make my stay as pleasant as possible and would gladly take the extra mile for the guests.

I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel for a night, and it was an absolutely flawless experience. The impeccable service and attention to detail truly made my stay memorable. However, in my haste to check out, I inadvertently left my pajamas behind in the room. Much to my surprise and delight, the hotel staff went above and beyond by promptly sending my pajamas to my home. Their exceptional customer service truly exceeded my expectations.

Bivio is a ski touring village - it wouldn't appeal to the average Brit on a piste - type holiday; there are only 3 T bar lifts. It would appeal to ski tourers who are looking for a back-country experience. Hotel Solaria is just 100m from one of the T bars. The ski room exits directly at street level and is well equipped with plenty of dryers and benches. The hotel feels like it's been newly renovated - everything is clean and fresh. The guest rooms are spacious, beds are very comfy and the bathroom features a full sized bath plus shower. Everything works. My group elected for half board. Breakfast is a varied buffet with bacon/eggs/ sausages/ cereal / bread / cheese / cold meat / endless tea & coffee - everything you might need. The evening meal was a hearty set menu - ideal for skiers. There was a good veggie option. The only thing that caused some tension was the situation with sandwiches for lunch: it was obvious that most guests helped themselves to bread & cheese for lunch, in spite of a notice asking guests not to take food out of the breakfast room......and on one occasion our group was told not to take food from the breakfast buffet for a sandwich later. I think it would be better to charge just a little more for half board and include a lunch time sandwich which could be prepared by the hotel staff. Best of all in Solaria is the staff - everyone was helpful, smiling - nothing was too much trouble. The manageress was extremely helpful. English was spoken by most staff. Overall, a brilliant small hotel - lovely rooms, friendly staff, excellent food. Would definitely return.

A lovely hotel in the small Grisons town of Bivio. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable bedding and an excellent restaurant with a wide choice of dishes. Good walking from the doorstep. Typical first rate Swiss hospitality! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. It was a perfect base for us to explore Alp Flix!
