Pros:

Hotel historique. On se serait cru au début du siècle. L'ameublement et le décor était quasiment d origine.
Le personnel est gentil et à nos soin.
Le seul hic.... les chambres ne sont pas bien insonorisées.
Le plus est que l'on peut mettre les ski derrière l hôtel et se rendre au remontée mécanique. Et le must est le retour avec les skis derrière l hôtel au ski room.
Génial... nous y reviendrons.

Cons:

La chambre peu insonorisé mais une très belle salle de bain avec un grand bain très moderne.

This hotel was atmospheric and utterly charming. Highly recommended.
Pros:

This is quite possibly the nicest hotel in which I have ever stayed. Ever.
Comms with staff regarding booking were polite, efficient, friendly, obliging.
Awesome location, with jaw-dropping views. AMAZING.
Upon arrival, we were offered a drink, such a warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Fantastic customer service.
Fresh flowers in the public areas, a nice touch.
Comfortable, well-appointed room, with everything thought of.

It was uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and disappointing overall.
Pros:

Let me start by saying this is a historic hotel as stated on the site, alot of old furnishings and quirky meeting room, the bed linen and sheets were clean
Our room looked across to the main area into the centre of the little town, visibility was extremely bad in Late sept, mist n very dull, i imagine on sunnier days it would be very pleasant view.

Cons:

Our room was totally shabby, wall paper filthy worn & torn, bits hanging, the creeks as you moved were extremely difficult & annoying, very dark, yes i know it clearly states its historic but no excuse for the lack of maintenance & repairs , a-lot of room for improvements, our room was next to the lift which made it even more noisy, you can hear everything from the hall area and the bedroom across the hall, so close in fact doors met when open at the same time, also the breakfast was awful, nothing topped up or fresh, the waiting staff all young men were not at all forthcoming, a cup of coffee seemed like hard work to get, no communication what so ever, having said this alot of giggle and conversation just off the dining area where staff seemed to collide

Un très bon souvenir!
Pros:

Magnifique hotel historique. Beaucoup de cachet.
Chambre à l'ancienne mais vaste et confortable
Accueil très sympathique
Dîner et petit-déjeuners très agréables dans la véranda

Cons:

Vraiment rien à signaler. C'est un hotel historique, donc il est tout à fait conforme aux attentes.

Einzigartig
Pros:

Einzigartiges Hotel in einer atemberaubenden Umgebung. Man fühlt sich zurückversetzt ins 19. Jahrhundert. Räume sind sauber und liebevoll gestaltet. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Am Abend gab es ein leckeres 4 Gang Menü für einen fairen Preis.

A unique hotel in a beautiful setting!
Pros:

When I walked into this hotel, I felt like I was transported back in time to the 1950’s or even beyond that. I loved the furnishings and decor, it was all very charming. The staff were thoroughly professional, always courteous and helpful. I looked forward to breakfast each morning, walking into the elegant dining room area and being greeted with a friendly smile and having a wide array of food to choose from all while listening to French music! I loved my little room (I was traveling solo) up on the 4th floor with a balcony that opened up to the most amazing view of Jungfrau….how impressive! My bed was very comfortable and the necessary updates have been made to the hotel to insure a thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing stay. Thanks to everyone!

Cons:

I liked everything if anything perhaps that the dining room had recently stopped serving dinner as the summer season was winding down. But I just went to the local coop and got my dinner!
