Super Aufenthalt, gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Die Lage ist für Benutzer:innen von öffentlichem Verkehr für Wanderungen und Ausflüge ideal. Frühstück war sehr gut und umfangreich. Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sehr schöne und ruhige Umgebung. Einkaufs und Einkehrmöglichkeiten in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Schöne und stilvoll eingerichtet Räume, insbesondere auch Frühstücksraum. Sehr gute Verdunklungsmöglichkeiten für das Fenster.

Cons:

Wir hatten eher ein kleines Zimmer, was aber für den Preis OK war. Die Strasse vor dem Hotel kaum störend, da nachts bis auch einzelne Fahrzeuge ruhig und unser Fenster seitlich raus ging. Die Lüftung im Badezimmer geht aus (Verzögerung von gefühlt 5 bis 10 min) was nachts dann etwas Geräusche gibt.

Pros:

Das Tüpfchen auf dem i waren die Meringues mit Doppelrahm auf dem sehr guten Frühstücksbuffet.
Das Hotel ist sehr schön renoviert, eine ideale Kombination zwischen Alt und Neu. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Ich habe trotz teilweisem Auto/Töfflärm gut geschlafen.

Cons:

...dass es nur französischsprechende TV-Sender hat

perfect but for heatwave
Pros:

The Hotel is as beautiful and lovely as in the photographs and as we expected. The staff were all wonderful, polite and professional. The rooms also are spacious and lovely. The small problem for us is that we stayed during unusually hot weather. As (understandably) there is no air-conditioning, we opened all the windows. As the hotel is on a significant road we were kept awake by traffic, so our nights sleep was not so great. But we would highly recommend this hotel otherwise!

Belle chambre, mais sur la route, impossible de dormir fenêtres ouvertes.
Pros:

La demeure a du cachet. La région de Charmey.

Cons:

L’hôtel est directement sur la route. Très bruyant. Impossible de dormir la fenêtre ouverte. L’hôtel en a déjà été avisé.

Vraiment parfait ! À cinq minutes à pied, des bains de gruyère.
Pros:

La propreté, la proximité, et le professionnalisme et la bonne humeur du personnel

Cons:

Tout était très bien, peut-être un ventilateur durant l’été, mais c’est vraiment histoire de rentrer dans le petit détail.

Hôtel historique de charme au cœur de Charmey.
Pros:

Parfait pour aller randonné ou faire du vélo dans la région. L’hôtel est bourré de charme, très confortable, au calme et à 5 minutes à pied de bains ! Le meilleur selon moi: le petit déjeuner avec des ingrédients maison. Nous avons dégusté de la cuchaule.

Cons:

La salle de bain était un peu petite mais cela est dû au fait que c’est un hôtel historique.
