Résidence du Chamossaire  

The quality that you may expect in Switzerland during this season at this price level: good, nothing more and nothing less.

What was not stated at the booking.com website is that the hotel charges your credit card in advance and that it is not possible on arrival to pay your stay cash. Also the website gives you the option to choose for a one bedroom apartment with one double or two single beds even when in reality there are no more vacancies in one of these two categories.

Leysin is gorgeous and although at first glance from the outside Residence du Chamossaire doesn't look like much, the rooms were very nice and comfortable!

The view on the mountain range is absolutely gorgeous, amzing, and quite enjoyable. When the weather is nice, we can eat breakfast on the terrace, and it's really an asset for a stay (and we find the stay too short, definitely!). The tv provides Swiss and international channels in German, Italian, French, apparently also in Spanish and English. The 'homeland' (I.E. European German, French and Italian, or Swiss channels for the guests coming from those countries) is nice in case of bad weather, or just for news, but the local channels are also an asset (even for those who don't speak the language) for the weather forecasts, much needed in the mountains. The staff is very friendly and accomodating, and the city in the mountains has a train going to Aigle where it's easy to take any train to any city around the Leman (Geneva -a bit far-, Montreux, Vevey, all very close). I hesitated between the Chamossaire and an hotel in Montreux, so as to visit Chillon Castle and the famous 'Rochers de Naye', plus various excursions on the train 'Golden Pass Line'. Very glad I chose there: quieter and more appreciable than Montreux, the view is unbeatable, and I wish we can come back here.(NB One of the Leysin train stations is quite close about 5 to 10 minutes away by walk)

Sad, permanent regret, only wifi for guests traveling with their own pc, not even one old tabletop computer for guest use in the lobby, sad for comparable hotels of the same category in Belgium, the uk or the us, but seems to be the norm in Switzerland (and Italy). A pity, for in a 'longer' trip from town to town, limiting the lugggage amount comes with not taking a computer along, therefore, no internet for weeks, and a very poor flexibility in planning some excursions. (I had to ask someone on the street to 'borrow' his wi-fi connection so as to plan visits for a day, with schedules, addressess of places to see and so on) I was ill- prepared for plugs and adapters (Switzerland doesn't use the same as the rest of Europe...the reception being closed at night, I had to wait for morning, and delay my departure for day of visit, otherwise I wouldn't have had a camera battery at all: adapters (for the forgetful ones who didn't buy one beforehand) should be provided in the rooms, not only by the reception)

It was in a beautiful location and a good value for the money. The accomodations were clean and in good shape. The room was very comfortable and large enough for our family of 5. The balcony had a great view of the mountains. The staff was very accomodating. We have no complaints about the resort, but if you choose this spot for visiting Montreux please be aware that while it says it is only 7 miles away (12 km) which is true, the drive takes actually about 45 to 50 minutes and is long/curvey going up a mountain. So, a beautiful place but not ideal (in our opinion) for daily or twice daily drives to Lake Geneva/Montreux area. Leysin is close in mileage but actually quite isolated from Montreux/Vevey and the Lake Geneva area. Perfect if that's what you are looking for!

Apartment with a full kitchen and the location is very good.

Not everything (lights, etc.) worked properly. Furniture was not extremely comfortable.

The person at the front desk was helpful in providing local information.

The rooms smelled like smoke. You could feel the coil springs through the very thin mattresses on the beds. Less importantly, I would have appreciated having coffee filters, paper towels or napkins, as staples in the kitchen.

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Spacieux, clair, bien exposé, tout équipement disponible. Accueil agréable et sans souci. Très facile d’accès pour le ski, avec un plus dans un spacieux cellier/local à skis attenant à l'appartement.

Très bon emplacement, entièrement satisfait par l'équipment et l'accueil. Prix très abordable. Balcon avec une vue magnifique sur les Alpes. Espace très agréable, on ne se sent pas étouffé. Café et thé de bienvenue. Je recommande cet établissement et avec mon amie, nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Lors de notre prise en charge au Chamossaire la réceptionniste a été à notre écoute et a pris note de ce qui ne jouais pas dans l'appartement et lors de notre départ a fait le nécessaire auprès de la Direction de l'établissement et m'en a informé par téléphone que tout était rentré dans l'ordre.

Appartement fonctionnel, suffisament grand, balcon avec vue. Placé idéalement Rapport qualité prix excellent Toutes les informations sur Leysin fournies à l'arrivée (plans, activités, lieux et nº d'urgences et assistance médicale, bons dans les commerces et restaurants locaux, etc.

Cela pourrait être plus agréable d'avoir un lit matrimonial dans une des chambres, les deux chambres à coucher étaient équipées de lits jumeaux

La situation par rapport aux remontées mécaniques est bien. Le studio est chouette, propre, équipé avec tout ce qu'il faut, même avec les linges et torchons de cuisine. Le personnel est sympathique, l'endroit est calme. De très bonnes vacances en famille, merci. Des tickets de réductions pour certains commerces et restaurants sont donnés en début de séjour. Attention lors de l'achat de vos abonements de ski, n'oubliez pas de mentionner au guichet que vous séjournez à Leysin, vous aurez ainsi une réduction sur vos remontés. Après coup, la société de remontées mécaniques ne veut plus rien savoir :-/

Un petit week-end bien sympa dans une résidence avec tout le confort souhaité, appartement trés propre et agréable sans oublier la petite attention: dose de café soluble, thé et autres qui nous attendent gentillement dans la cuisine, ainsi qu'un appareil à fonfu, c'est rien mais ça montre l'interet porté aux clients. Local attenant à l'appartement pour stoker les valises, ski et autres ce qui evite d'encombrer l'appart !!! Franchement nous avons été très satisfait, en comparaison avec une autre location d'appart hotel faite en France cet été ... Petite précison, ce n'était pas pendant la saison de ski donc absolument pas de bruit un calme trés reposant.
