Residence Sole Alto

There’s a ski and snowboard locker room, which was about the only genuinely good thing. The place is livable, but I can’t say I’d recommend it. There were no towels, sheets, soap, or garbage bin, some kitchen appliances didn’t work, and the fridge and pipes made noises at night.

The reception service was terrible, and getting up from the Marilleva 1400 ski lift means climbing 170 meters. The building looks like it hasn’t been upgraded or renovated since it was built in the 70s or 80s.

Top.

The dinners were good, with plenty of cold grilled vegetables and always something hot. Most of it tasted good. Breakfast was French style and enough after filling up at dinner. My room was very warm and clean, though I was unlucky with the view, which was of the slope and a total dump. Other guests got a beautiful view and a balcony. This is the cheapest hotel on the slopes, and it suits people who come to ski and aren’t demanding. For 4900 PLN for two people, including accommodation, half board, liability insurance, and ski passes for the 380km Mariotta ski arena, you shouldn’t expect much. After walking into the room, I said, “I never thought I’d fall so low.”
