Personality and friendliness of staff, they make you feel like family. Characterful Restaurant with great French style cooking.

Roland Switzerland

good internet quality, attentive and caring staff, dinner was great

Christine Switzerland

Wonderful atmosphere...like in the good old times...and very kind people!

Conrad Switzerland

We've been hiking for ten days and this hotel was by far the best organised when it comes to observing the Corona-regulations. We were particularly impressed by the way breakfast was organised (trolley with a broad offer for choice by the customers but served by a member of staff) but also small things like the hairdryer being handed out centrally and desinfected after use. Really thought through and innovative. At the same time staff were very friendly and in a good mood, and food also very good.

Tatjana Switzerland

Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig mit schöner Aussicht. Die Gastgeber sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Ich kann das Hotel nur empfehlen.

Andrea Switzerland

The service was very welcoming. It made our stay relaxing that the lady at the hotel speaks (at least!) fluently English, French and German. Perfect. The food in the restaurant was exceptional! Room was quiet, bed was comfortable and the location of the place was easily accessible by foot (which is good for a hiker).

Anne Switzerland

Marina and Rolf were so friendly and went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. The food was fabulous and all the staff exceptionally nice.

Diana United Kingdom

Nice view from the window. The bed was so soft and comfy!

Christian Switzerland

Everything. Clean and well-appointed room. Parking. Location as starting point for hiking to le Chasseron. The personnel is very kind and helpful. Good dinner and breakfast.

Yang Switzerland

Really friendly staff, good simple breakfast and a great spacious room. Just great, would definitely recommend it to friends and family
