Lago di Obernberg: Tour e Visite Guidate

We have just finished a 5-day stay in a suite at Vaya The Crystal. We visited the hotel two years ago and were so impressed that we decided to return, this time with our child. Unfortunately, our recent experience did not live up to the high standards we remembered. ​The issues began upon arrival. We were directed to use the hotel’s underground parking garage, which was so steep that our car’s undercarriage scraped against the concrete. While the hotel helped us find an alternative spot afterward, we were left with a scratch under the car, which was a very poor start to our holiday. ​When we arrived at our suite, we were met with a foul smell coming from the bathroom drains. It took a full 24 hours before the smell dissipated enough for us to feel comfortable in the room. Furthermore, basic amenities were missing: there were no slippers provided, and the complimentary bottle of water, which we had enjoyed during our previous visit, was no longer available. ​On a positive note, the breakfast was excellent, and the spa facilities met our expectations, as did the room itself once the initial issues were resolved. ​However, considering Vaya The Crystal is a 4.5-star hotel, one expects the basics to be handled with care—from functional room amenities to safe parking facilities. We had high hopes for another fantastic stay, but this time, the overall quality simply did not reflect the hotel's status or price point.
