“Absolutely outstanding, better than any of the posh overpriced expensive places further up the hill, stay here with your family for half the price, absolutely brilliant xxxx”
“Loved this little hotel. Had a warm friendly welcome. I stayed in room 3 which was small but perfect for solo traveller. The view from the huge balcony was amazing. Very clean and everything you need. WiFi was pretty slow but that’s standard in the mountains from my experience. Great spacious ski room with heated boot rack. Breakfast was delicious with everything you expect. (Extra charge) but worth it. About 8 min walk into town slightly uphill. No4 bus stops right outside in either direction. Takes you to central Chatel. Lots of parking but I didn’t travel by car. Perfect place for a short stay in Chatel. The owner was fantastic. Room 5 Location 5 Cleanliness 5”
“A really great place to stay! Was at the hotel for a week for a ski trip, the staff were very warm and welcoming as well as informative about the local area, highlighting important info about ski facilities around Châtel ! The room was very warm and cosy and exactly what was needed for the trip! Also the breakfast was light and refreshing with a good selection of things to choose from!”
“We had an exceptional stay from start to finish. This amazing family-run hotel truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our room was lovely, with a beautiful balcony overlooking the town of Châtel, a perfect place to relax and take in the views. Breakfast each morning was fantastic, offering a wide variety of options including fresh pastries, eggs, seasonal fruit, and excellent coffee. The location is ideal for skiing, with a bus stopping right outside the hotel that takes you directly to the main lifts, and on the return journey picks you up from the town centre and brings you straight back outside the hotel. We’ve had a truly wonderful week and couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough. A perfect base for a memorable stay in Châtel!”
“Great place to stay overnight! And well worth the trip up if you are in Switzerland, near Montreux. Friendly staff, nice rooms, if somewhat small. But all one needs for a night or two, or longer. I tipped a friend about the place and he was there July 2023. Equally happy with everything.”
