Pretty setting. Hotel restaurant is apparently good but we were unable to make a reservation. Communication was difficult as the staff exclusively spoke French and were unable to communicate with us in English, German or Italian - while we were able to understand the gist, it is surprising for a hotel that presumably attracts a diverse clientele. No hairdryer in room and WiFi was unreliable. Overall it is surprising that the hotel has a 4 star rating as that was not our experience.

An oasis while walking the GR5
We arrived very wet and grubby after being in the hills during a storm. Although it is a smart hotel, we were warmly greeted and made to feel very welcome. We stayed two nights and ended up well rested and fed and with our clothes clean! Highly recommended.

Great Hotel But Poor Booking Process
Really good stay. Hotel took payment though when they were not supposed to when booked and despite numerous emails hotels.com did not resolve which was really frustrating.

Very Helpful Staff
Very nice hotel. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Can't comment on restaurants as we are both vegetarian and there wasn't really a great veggie offering. This is true of France in general so is not particularly a criticism of this hotel. From what we could see of the menus the other food did look good. My one disappointment was the size of the room. It was clean and the shower/bathroom very good but for the sort of money charged I would not expect a cramped room. Fortunately I did not need to swing any cats. Everything else about the hotel, including the pool and saunas, was very good.

Bel Hotel au calme
Joli hôtel et personnel accueillant, la chambres triple est très petite avec peu de rangements, même pas d'endroit pour poser la valise. En revanche la salle de bain est top avec pour une fois un bon plan de travail et une étagère. Nous avons mangé au restaurant qui nous a été présenté comme gastronomique, mais avons été déçus. 2h pour recevoir l'entrée et le plat, qui étaient "quelconques". Pas mauvais mais rien d'exceptionnel, bémol sur un nouveau plat : Brochette gambas-St jacques curry lait de coco, alors qu'il y avait une belle cuisson des produits, les accompagnements et sauces étaient tout simplement beaucoup trop sucrés et de fait le plat en était déséquilibré. Nous avons bien profité de la piscine et du jacuzzi, malheureusement la météo n'a pas contribué à notre séjour. En conclusion, et dans l'ensemble nous avons trouvé les prestations agréables mais trop chères.

Lugar de ensueño
Fue una experiencia lindisima. Nos quedamos maravillados. Una espectacular vista a las montañas, el personal super maravilloso, realmente un sueño. La habitacion pequeña pero acogedora. Nos toco la tematica de oso y a mis hijos les encanto. Una muy buena idea de separa el wc de la ducha. Super recomendable
