Hotel du Nord ★★★

"The hotel is located in the centre of the town, looked nice on the website, so after walking about 25km on the Via Francegina (our first day's walking), we were looking forward to relaxing there. We got there at 4.45 in the late afternoon. We had already advised in advance it would be a late arrival due to our trek. We were advised check-in was up to 7pm in the evening. So relieved we got there, we decided to go for a drink, before checking in, freshening up etc. We had just ordered drinks in the nearby bar, when I got a phone call from the receptionist, who had seen us outside the hotel, (as we discussed what to do), to say that we had to check in immediately. I explained we would be there shortly and she advised us, on no uncertain times, that we must check in immediately. So we left our drinks and did so. We tried to explain our relief at walking the 25km and to celebrate it by having a drink, but she was having none of it, and no apology for the drinks we had to leave behind. She snapped 'passports'. I tried to explain that we understood check-in was until 7 and hence we didn't know of the urgency. She simply said, that she was in the hotel all day on her own and she had to get transport home. I again reminded her that check -in was until 7 and she said 'not today'. I calmly advised again that we were not advised of the earlier check-in, and she simply snapped again about payment, with a very cross face and with no eye-contact, There was no chance to ask questions about facilities in the hotel or elsewhere. She was closing up and not only the reception but the hotel itself would not be manned for the rest of the night. We had to have a code to enter the hotel and if we forgot it, we would have to ring a number. She was cross, rude and totally unprofessional . Never have I experienced such rudeness in the hospitality sector. The room was adequate and clean but over-priced for what was provided. The carpets in the central hallways were stained and required a vacuum. The hotel is classed as a hotel, but apart from the fact that it provides breakfast in the morning, I question how it gets that category. Breakfast was a buffet and had a minimalist selection. No other services whatsoever. The only redeeming feature was that the girl assisting with the breakfast, of Sri-Lankan origin, had a lovely smile and was helpful. I noted from other reviews, that other clients had similar 'cool' experiences. A friendly welcome would have made all the difference, despite it being overpriced. I would NOT recommend staying here."

Villars Palace ★★★★★

"This is an incredible place, the location is extraordinary, and the hotel has been renovated to the highest possible standards. In addition, it is a sustainable hotel where everything has been carefully designed, and is quicckly becoming a place to convene sustainability crowds."

Maison des Sports ★★★

Alpe Fleurie Residence ★★★★

"An exceptional experience. Very warm and friendly manager - she made us feel very comfortable, and had great humour. High quality room and very clean. Would be rated 4 star, not 3. Very happy and will return again next time. Highly recommend for value for money."

Chalet la Griotte ★★

"Beautiful environment, very like the retro style, the restaurant is available."

Chalet RoyAlp Hotel and Spa ★★★★★

"October may be off-season in the Swiss Alps, but with the views and facilities the was a real weekend luxury getaway. Very friendly and relaxed service. Rooms were spacious with a terrace and beautiful sunset views over the Alps. With sunshine and up to 25 C, we unfortunately had no time for the pool and spa facilities. Recommend instead the train up to the mountains - the station is one minute away and takes you right up to pristine hiking areas. For an aperitif, either the hotel terrace or walk down to the Ptit Chalet to mingle with the locals. For dinner, both the hotel restaurant and Ecovets (10 min taxi-ride away) serves excellent local fare (October is game season!). For lunch, have the hotel try to book at the Miroir de l'Argentine above nearby Gryon. Spectaulcar surroundings. "

Les Mazots du Clos ★★★

"We spent three nights here in August. The rooms and beds were quite comfortable. The included breakfast offered a good variety of choices. Our room happened to be located above the restaurant, so we could often hear music until the restaurant closed. The staff were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. We especially appreciated the help and friendly attitude of Alyssa. There is limited parking, which is accessed by a narrow signed road next to the church. The access road is before you reach the hotel, which can be confusing."

Nonanteneuf Aigle ★★★

Viu Hotel Villars ★★★★

"The breakfast was not that good, the quality of the food is not that good, and many times some of the food ran out before the breakfast time ended. My room's balcony overlooked the bar's exterior seating, so it was quite noisy in the evening when many people were there to chat and drink. Furthernore, the jacuzzi in the pool was not working and they didn't fix it during the whole week I stayed there and no one noticed us before that."
