I know nothing about Milky Way or indeed Val Gardena but think it is about time we give it a go .
Can anyone recommend any hotels that are centrally/conveniently placed and suitable for a group of 50 something year old blokes who like a few beers a decent meal and a good nights sleep without too far to get to the lifts next morning.

Hmm -- Milky Way is near the Italian French border ; Val Gardena is near the Italian/Austrian border !!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@gwatts10, Hotel Aaritz in Selva is right across the road from the Ciampinoi gondola. Can't get much closer than that. Never stayed but it looked good; pool, spa etc.. Along the road (5mins in ski boots) is Hotel Oswald.

Selva -- Stella ; Laurin ; Linder ; Serena ; Tyrol ; Alaska ; Continental are all a few steps from a Lift (there are others..!)

I've stayed at the hotel Armin in Selva, very good food. A few minutes walk to the Ciampinoi gondola, or the hotel runs a free minibus service.
Edit: But as @albob said, Val Gardena is nowhere near the Milky Way ski area!

Linder is my choice in Selva. Family run, quiet location but well located for the Ciamp bubble.

@gwatts10, What kind of budget? Most of the above recommends are in the 3/400 Euro per night region. Plenty of well heeled punters on SH.

@Mollerski, OP did specify "..without too far to get to the lifts.."
Personally, I use the Hotel Alpino Plan ; the budget end of Selva... (also not too far from a lift - the shortest one in Italy !!)

Yep and that can be quite easily achieved without spending 400 Euro per night in Selva. Look, I'm not having a pop at those who can afford nice hotels. I'm far from adverse to bit of comfort and a few added bells and whistles myself. I just found it mildly curious that most of the recommendations read like a list of the most expensive hotels in Selva and there are plenty right across the price range.

I stayed in the Linder but wouldn't return. The building itself seemed to be very noisy, just someone walking down a corridor seemed to resonate loudly. Food was quite good but when we were there, there was also a very large family group from SA with lots of kids running round out of control daily in the dining area. The staff and owners made no attempt to stop this. So for me, not again.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I’ve stayed at the Aaritz, it’s possibly the tightest run ship I’ve seen in a ski hotel.
Best location for the Ciampinoi, vv good food.
Not the best if you want to head up dantercepies.

I suppose the Continental might be in a good position for both Dantercepies (it's on the doorstep) and you can ski down to Ciampinoi (almost)
|
|
|

|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
@halfhand, yeah, we’ve looked at that one a few times, not stayed there yet though.
Other option would be to stay on edge of town at a hotel with a shuttle bus that can take you directly to either and possibly even Col Raiser.
I’m not a huge fan of the ski busses.

The hotel Krone/Corona on the corner of the main road in Selva is just a very short walk from both the Ciampinoi lift and the footbridge that takes you to the short Costabella chairlift from the top of which it's a short ski down to the Dantercerpies gondola.

I shall trump Alastair's Hotel Corona with the Hotel Stella ; a slightly longer walk to the Ciampinoi but an even shorter walk to Crystal Bridge.
The Costabella chair it directly behind the hotel ; If you are in a room at the back of the hotel, you can check the length of the queue from your window !!

Hotel Somont in Selva is genuinely ski in-ski out, in a very quite area but only 5 minutes walk to an apres-ski bar if you want to go out. Very good hotel, great food and a nice wee pool/wellness area.

When our group stayed in Selva this year we were in Hotel Antares.. It was quite a bit cheaper than most of the others mentioned and took on non week bookings but still a four star.
Great food, pool, sauna and bar. But 5 minutes walk to Ciampinoi, so it depends how important that is? We used the lockers right next to the lift, which made the short stroll easy.

I love the Armin but its so expensive these days; as well as great food their hotel mini bus will drop you Danterceipes or Ciampanoi and you can ski back to either just opposite on other side of river or behind a few streets.
Stayed in Pralong this year- was good but food but not as good as Armin (especially for veggies) and the walk back if finishing down Danterceipes was a slog.
