Hotel Seehof Davos

Excellent hotel with super service. Staff not very friendly

Breakfast was good. Location is good. near train stationm bus stop

Unfortunately, our experience at the Seehof Davos Hotel raised serious concerns regarding the validity of its claimed five-star status. First and foremost, there is a complete lack of service, which is a cornerstone of any high-end hotel. The restaurant staff, particularly the waiters, demonstrated a very low level of training: they are unfamiliar with basic service standards, not customer-oriented, and show no initiative. For example, during dinner, guests are offered only a single dish — chicken with rice — which is entirely inappropriate for a five-star hotel in terms of both variety and culinary standards. What is even more surprising is that even basic beverages such as water and juice are not included in the dinner price and must be paid for separately. This not only contradicts guest expectations but also goes against internationally accepted hospitality standards. Another issue concerns the spa and sauna area. Guests have to return to the reception desk to request access, as there is no staff present in the wellness area. This is highly inconvenient and undermines the very concept of comfort and premium service. Housekeeping is a separate issue. Bottled water is provided only once, upon check-in. After that, guests are expected to use the paid minibar — something that can hardly be considered guest-friendly. Moreover, daily cleaning is essentially limited to making the bed: the bed linen is not changed, and the overall cleanliness of the bathroom and other areas raises questions. It is difficult to understand what criteria still allow Seehof Davos to present itself as a five-star hotel. Based on the shortcomings described above, the actual service level corresponds more closely to a three-star property — at best. This discrepancy between advertised and actual quality leaves guests not only disappointed but also questioning the credibility of the hotel star rating system. We strongly recommend that the hotel management urgently revise their service standards, provide retraining for staff, and reconsider their approach to service delivery if they genuinely aim to meet international five-star standards.
