Hotel Steinbock(Hotel Steinbock Pontresina)

My Husband and I found the Hotel Steinbock from a Rick Steve’s book and he never lets us down. This is a beautifully quaint hotel (more like an Inn) in the small village of Pontresina. It is very conveniently located near the train station and they will have a driver pick you up and deliver you to the door. The Spa is a huge bonus with rooms for steam, saunas, pool and a hot tub. Breakfast is included and was wonderful. I am Vegan and they were very accommodating. The ladies that waited on us at breakfast as well as dinner went Above and Beyond with their service. Across the street you can sit outside and have drinks and food while watching the sun setting on the Alps. We would definitly stay here again:)

LOCATION: Hotel Steinbock is located at Via Maistra 219, at the far end of village, away from the hustle & bustle of Pontresina. It takes about 10~15 minutes on foot to reach the shops and train station. Pontresina is well-connected by trains and buses which enables you to explore the wider region with ease. Those going on day trips and excursions will find the nearest bus stop ‘Pontresina Post’ just 200m down the road from the Hotel. Guests arriving via public transport would be pleased to know that the Hotel provides a Complimentary Shuttle Service to and from Pontresina Station. Inform Front Desk of your ETA and they will dispatch a driver to fetch you. OVERVIEW: Hotel Steinbock is possibly the oldest inn in Pontresina with a long history dating back to 1651. It has been modernised where appropriate and tastefully renovated to offer both comfort and style. The family-owned hotel has 32 rooms, each with its own layout and décor. Not all rooms have ensuite facilities, do check the detailed description when booking online. ROOM: booked a Standard Single but received a Complimentary Upgrade to what appeared to be a Classic Double – such a pleasant surprise! The spacious room was clean and well-appointed. It had hardwood flooring and was furnished with: comfortable bed; pair of bedside tables with reading lamps; coffee table with 2 armchairs; wall-mounted TV over a small desk with lamp & chair. The huge wardrobe offers ample storage and contains a safe-deposit box, mini fridge, luggage rack, hangers, bathrobe & slippers. Pleased to find complimentary snacks and bottle of drinking water next to a handwritten Welcome Card – such thoughtful gestures and personal touch are always appreciated. There’s a coffee machine in room and if you wish to make tea, electric kettle and teabags are available from Reception on request. BATHROOM: spacious, clean and well-lit. Furnished with huge mirror over wash basin, toilet and shower over bathtub. Clean bath linen, toilet rolls, box of tissues, basic toiletries and hairdryer provided. Only problem was the poor drainage of bathtub which left you standing in a pool of soapy water when taking a shower - a proper shower stall would be preferable to this arrangement. F&B: room rate is inclusive of daily breakfast, served in an inviting dining room with Swiss pine furnishings. Buffet breakfast comprises: good selection of breads & pastries; jams & butter; cereals & müesli; yoghurt; eggs; assorted cheeses and cold cuts. Beverage choices include milk, fruit juices, tea & coffee. When informed of my severe food allergies, the staff on duty meticulously went through every breakfast item at the buffet table, pointing out the ones I could safely consume and the ones I should avoid. When in doubt, they even went to check the ingredient lists on food packaging! Truly impressed by their dedication and professionalism as service personnel seldom respond in such a helpful and understanding manner.

Hotel rooms very nice and sauna /pool facilities shared with walter hotel and are excellent. Very close walk to rail line. Also Walking Distance to chairlift. Don’t eat at Restaurant for dinner. Food Wasn’t that good and plenty for Options elsewhere.

I stayed twice in August 2022, as I was hiking in the area. I was able to leave non essential stuff with the hotel. It was a lovely hotel, with very efficient friendly service. The room was lovely and clean as was the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was wonderful - a huge choice of everything. A bonus was that when I was there, we were able to use the pool and sauna at the sister hotel next door - the steam room was particularly welcoming after a long day's hiking in the mountains. Another bonus was courtesy of the local council - the tourist tax covered local buses, trains and even the cable cars, so I was able to get out from the one base and do lots of long day hikes. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel

We didn't know that a driver from Hotel Walter was waiting for us at the train station (shared services include a spa and pool), so we walked uphill to the Hotel Steinbock. Check-in was easy, up 2 flights of stairs to our room #32 (no elevator). A welcome stretch after a long train ride! We were there to hike, after all! Room was clean and well-appointed, bed was comfortable. Breakfast service was quite good, and the Endagin card we were given at check-in gave us free access to the trains, buses, and various mountain lifts in the area. Staff was welcoming and helpful. We would stay there again on a return visit to Pontresina.

Gemütliches familiäres Hotel. Sehr netter Empfang. Vielseitiges Frühstücksbuffet, das jedoch platzmässig etwas praktischer aufgebaut werden könnte. Ausgezeichnete Abendkarte. Sehr nette Bedienung. Diavolezza Bar gegenüber ist ein toller Platz für Apéro. Das Zimmer ist sauber und gemütlich. Matratze definitiv zu weich für eine Person über 80 kg. Kissen ohne Daunenfedern wären bequemer. Aber wir würden das Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Charme in allen Bereichen und dies auf einem hochwertigen Niveau. Man geht auf spezifische Bedürfnisse ein und findet eine sinnvolle Lösung. Der Verbund mit dem Hotel Walther bietet zusätzliche Optionen weitere Idee umzusetzen und zu geniessen.

Een authentiek hotel met zeer vriendelijk professioneel en betrokken personeel. Ontbijt is fantastisch en het is een aanrader om er ook een keer te dineren. De Gondola tegenover hotel is een leuke gelegenheid om een drankje te drinken en de Spa ( zwembad, sauna en stoombad zijn heerlijk na een lange dag wandelen in de prachtige omgeving.
