Savognin, Switzerland

Savognin Travel Blog › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

This was my fourth and last vacation of 2008. The landscape in and around Savognin is really beautyfull and I highly recommend this place. We stayed at Cube Hotel, but that wasn't a very nice stay

Savognin, Switzerland

My friends and I decided we wanna spend X-mas in another country. So we went to the travel agency and ask a lot of information about ski-resorts, hotels and that kind of stuff. After a few days we decided to go to Switzerland. We went back to the travel agency and we said: WE WANNA GO TO SAVOGNIN :-D After a few minutes of waiting, she said: Well.. It's almost done, have you got any further questions? Ofcourse we had a lot of questions, but no question about Savognin, we had a lot of questions about Portugal 2009, but anyway..

I was counting every second till the day we would finally go to Switzerland. Finally it was December 21st 2008, so I packed my bags and I was ready for a new adventure.

. This time in the mountains of Switzerland. Chris and Ivo picked me up around 2130 hours and we drove to Germany and had a quick stop for something to eat and drink. We also changed driver, because it’s just a long way to go for one person behind the wheel. Then we came through Austria and Liechtenstein were we had our second and third stop. After a long ride (800 kilometres / 500 miles) we arrived safely at Savognin at 0800 hours.

After we checked in at the Cube Hotel, we had to wait a while, because “housekeeping” wasn’t ready cleaning the room. So we went to rent our snowboards and all that kind of stuff, changed clothes and went to the slopes near the hotel.

We did our tricks and kept falling all the time, but we had the time of our lifes.

After a while we went back to the hotel. We’ve got our key cards of our room and when we opened the door, it looked totally different from the brochure. It was really small and looked like a prisoncell. But it didn’t matter to us.. We were finally in Switzerland and wanted to have a great time.

We went back to the slopes and had some more fun in the snow. After a long day at the slopes, we were tired and hungry and we went back to the hotel. When one of us was trying to take a shower, we find out that the shower door was broken. Ivo went downstairs to tell the hotel about this. They told us they would send someone to fix it, but no one came.

A few days went by and we had the best time at the slopes.

Everything in and around the hotel was pissing us off. Most things were broken and the people of the hotel were to young and had no experience. They didn’t gave any information about things to do in and around the hotel, so that really sucked. But every time we wanted to act crazy/mad, we went back to the slopes or take a long walk trough the forests (see the pictures of Switzerland). That kept us satisfied and happy ;-)

At X-mas eve the bomb exploded. We had an invitation of the hotel, to take part at the X-mas diner. We dressed up very nicely and went to the restaurant of the hotel. They told us we weren’t invited to the diner. So we went back to our room and went to sleep.. Cold, hungry and pissed off. After that it sucked even more. So if someone of you is thinking about going to Switzerland.. please do yourself a favour and don’t go to Cube Hotel Savognin. Pay a little more for a GOOD hotel and have the time of your life, because the slopes and everything around Savognin is really great!

We left the at December 27th 2008 very early, because we just had it! :-P After 6 hours we were allready back in the Netherlands.

Cube Hotel Savognin
If you look at the detailed ratings of my review, you'll probably think: "Jezus, what a crappy place". But I gonna explain myself why I think it was bad. First of all the location was great, so I'm not going to make any bad remarks about that. But the hotel was not what we expected. It was filty, everywhere (on the bed, in the sink) was dust. The room we had was really small, the shower was broken (and the last day somebody came to fix it), the toilet was filthy.. Not a place where you wanna go if you wanna have a great holiday!
Also a problem.. They didn't had any goods in the stock, so we had to change menu 3 or 4 times :S
Maybe we just had all the bad luck, but I think we're not the only ones!
