Enjoyed a 2023 Christmas week skiing in Passo Tonale with the family staying at the Hotel Piandineve. I had stayed at the Grand Hotel Paradiso across the road before, so I had something to compare it with. The Piandineve is located set back across the main road from the lifts, so a brief 5 minute trek in your ski boots to get to the slopes and another 5 minute walk to get to the ski lesson meeting point. Overall the Hotel is fine and spotlessly clean, certainly the rooms were excellent in terms of cleanliness. I left a good tip for the cleaning staff in my room. Other staff were polite, albeit a bit distracted by speaking with each other rather than serving guests at times it felt like. The restaurant was large, a little packed as you might expect for the Christmas and New Year skiers. You get an allocated table for the week, although the maitre d' seemed to move us randomly on a couple of days for some reason. Plenty of choice of food and breakfast had a wide choice from the buffet but I wasn't keen on the limited hot choices. At dinner there was a salad bar, cooked pasta and cooked meat and veg. The desserts looked very nice. Overall the food was okay and you could fill up but we also preferred a big lunch at the resort restaurants because the food looked and tasted much better in my opinion. One point to note is that while water is placed on your table, it's not free and you have to sign a tab for it. Not quite the description when booking through Crystal Ski so beware! The American Bar was fine and entertainment put on, mostly for the kids. We did have a game of Tombola (Bingo). My only issue with this hotel is the thinness of the walls and I needed ear plugs to dull the noise I could hear from other rooms above, below and next to the room I had. TV sound, crying children, snoring neighbour and shouting adults when you're trying to sleep was quite annoying. Overall I got what I paid for and give it a 3 star rating from me. Having stayed at the Grand Hotel Paradiso before, I preferred that hotel, its location, food etc for what would have been a small extra cost.
