My stay was exceptional. Manager Nicolas was very helpful and all the staff were friendly and enthusiastic. It's a great location, close to the Gondola for skiers and boarders and the villages of Crans and Montana for shopping. The breakfast is complete in every way and my two dinners were also healthy and tasty. It's a classy 'retro-historic' building and my sunny balcony views were the magestic Valais Alps. It is also the only hostel-hotel-hipstel that l know that pour's a decent pint of beer at Reception! Thank you Edwige. And the great spring skiing on the challenging Crans-Montana slopes made my stay exceptional and great value. Cin Cin, MuzzA.

Location, staff, comfort 👌 Rooms are small, but provide everything needed for nice short stay . Balcony , chez long and view are 👌 great 👌

Tatiana Ukraine

The rooms are large and have glass doors that open onto a patio that faces an amazing skyline of the Alps. The bathtub was deep and there was plenty of hot water. On a sunny day, it’s very pretty and relaxing. They also have a very good ski/boot room. And at the end of the long day, you can order a cold draft beer in the lobby.
