The Romantica is a small hotel compared with the main Messer hotel, which is old with much character. In the Romantica the rooms are quite small and some of the aspects of the room a little less than perfect. For example the shower was small with an old fashioned shower curtain. There were also very few sockets for charging devices of which most of us have so many nowadays. So if we go back to Guarda we would prefer to stay in the main hotel. This may just be our personal preference.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Good location

A small room, but this was already made clear

Very effective to complement the regional culture. Village location was perfect.

Challenging to enter the parking spot - tight driveway between two houses… but then the parking is massive..

Typical small swiss hotel, tucked away at the top of the hill …from the frenzy of today’s world. We had the breakfast in the main part of the hotel with a fabulous view, overlooking the valley. Super friendly staff!!! Helpful with everything. Great breakfast!!

Such an amazing place. We loved that they also had boots and snow shoes to check out, and got to go onto the most beautiful snow shoe hike in the snow. The breakfasts and dinners were amazing, and the staff was very friendly.

Nothing

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been on holiday in my life is the village of Guarda. The accommodation, breakfast and all other services were perfect.

Our stay was too short.

Our visit to Guarda, along with our stay, truly took our breath away. The village is impeccably preserved and restored, showcasing magnificent architecture and a unique atmosphere that transports you back in time. The Meisser staff excels in hospitality, making our experience even more memorable. Though our room was of smaller size, it was cozy, with a very comfy bed, and offered us a stunning view of the Swiss National Park. Our stay was perfectly complemented by a tasty breakfast, made from local products served in a tastefully furnished breakfast room. Location of Guarda offers plentiful options for more or less demanding hikes and walks in nature. The tranquility of Guarda, nestled in the heart of nature, is its greatest asset. This is a must-visit destination for lovers of history, art, architecture, and nature alike.

The room was a little small, but we reserved the cheapest room, so it was expected.

Guarda is an incredible place. The breakfast was perfect for us. The MR met all our basic needs.

Not spending more time there but, we know better now for next time!

On a ten day motoring tour of Europe this was a gem of a find on our trip. Will definitely go back and spend more time at this hotel.

parking. there is free parking available, but the way into the parking lot is very tricky as it's down a tight alleyway. It took me a good few minutes trying to figure out how to get in , but hey, it's free !

I didn't know what to expect as I booked it since it was the nearest location for a wedding, but upon arrival I was so charmed by the little village and the Meisser complex. the hotel is composed by several buildings. the building i stayed was for adults only, so it was very quiet and relaxed. the self-service breakfast spread was a small selection of local produce that was delicious. the breads were amazing. my room was spacious considering the comfy king sized mattress. take note of the low ceiling which is part of its quirk. water pressure was amazing in the shower. a coffee machine and a selection of teas is available throughout the day. I would rebook in the future.

The check in procedure and location finding. Strongly recommend to describe on the booking process how to proceed for checking in.

Style and confort

Navigating the tiny streets with a car was a bit challenging and parking isn't well signed. Our room was super tiny and rustic. Maybe that counts as romantic. Bed was too soft for me but my gf loved it.

Guarda is an amazingly cute town! The dinner menu is awesome and breakfast selection is great. I'm not a big fan of cooking my eggs my own but that's ok. The inhouse spa is cozy and we had it all for us alone. Make sure to reserve at least a day in advance, we didn't know that and couldn't use it on our day of arrival.

The bed might have been a little more comfortable.

Curated in every detail, great atmosphere for couples, historical. The spa in the building is a big plus.

Small room IS very small

Iconic location

We ate dinner in the hotel’s restaurant, it was very expensive and not very good for how much we paid. The service was excellent, the setting was beautiful, the food fell very short. There isn’t much for choices for dinner in that area. Make your plans for dining elsewhere.

The location is great for a get away from everything. It is quite remote. So there is a calm feeling to this town. We stayed in the “romantica” part, which is essentially another house down the road with a few units in it. They had a self serve continental breakfast in a shared kitchen. You could cook your own eggs. There was a lot available for breakfast. The staff was pleasant.

beautiful location

Breakfast needed some own work, like cooking eggs.

Dinner was surprisingly a four course menu, so exceeded expectations by far.

I liked everything!

What a wonderful place to stay! Incredible location, friendly and professional staff, amazing food and access to a sauna as well. We loved it here.

The room we paid $269 for could be rented anywhere else for less than half the price. It was small, but totally adequate and typical of the region. But we reserved a room with a “ south view overlooking the garden terrace.” Instead, we got a room overlooking the street, with all the street noise, roof tops and a weed patch ( see pics). When I first complained to reception, I was told she didn’t have time to talk to me. But another lady did. When I voiced my complaint and showed her my reservation confirmation, she said they didn’t even have a garden terrace and asked “what is garden terrace?”. She offered me no satisfaction at all and seemed to be insulted that I raised the issue. I am a seasoned traveler in Europe and I know what to expect in terms of room size, appointments, food, breakfast etc. But in Switzerland, it is all about the view. We chose this place because of its high location. Instead we got the view in the pics. I am not suspicious, but at check in,she kept saying “ you are American ?” I think I got stuck with the worst room in the house. The pics show the view from the room, overlooking a weed patch, the street and a roof. Compare this to the pic on their website of this room…no comparison. I consider this fraudulent. I would not stay here again and I don’t recommend like-minded Americans to do the same. BTW, when I was checking out, the girl told me they changed the description on the website to reflect that it only faces south, but no view of the phantom garden terrace. I consider this a tourist rip off, just my opinion based on my experience.

The location was excellent, once we found it.
