Staff was/is very friendly and helpful, even after checkout, We had a 8 hour wait for our train, and the constant Rain prevented us from walking around town. So they let us stay inside, Dry till time to walk to Station.

Good option near St Moritz
This is a hostel so you have shared bathroom on the floor or if you are lucky they have some rooms with a private shower. The hostel is not in St Moritz, you need to take a train for about 5 minutes to get to SM or 20 min bus ride. The town itself is charming but focused on ski holidays.
Service was good and breakfast too

Location is excellent and the staff were friendly. However this is a very very expensive hostel stay. Very noisy at night and in the morning with no insulation or sound proofing between rooms.

I guess the biggest surprise was what passed for a bathroom in our room, okay for a quick leak during the night, not for much else. Most trailers in Canada have more of a bathroom. However there were bigger facilities just across the hall. For one night it was fine. Staff was super friendly and spoke English well. The room was clean and the beds okay. In a very expensive area like this, it was a good place to stay. In a less expensive area I opt for a 3 star hotel instead. The restaurant was closed, as were many in the area. Breakfast was very good.
