Booked here as close to rail for mountains and town (10 minute walk), plus it looked quaint with good rooms. Price comparable with many as Switzerland is still most expensive country to visit in Europe, reflecting domestic high salaries (maybe 3x that of UK or France). Initial impression not great, as another elderly guest was rebuked at reception when she complained about stairs (a lot) and was told she should have read before booking, no offer to carry baggage. Sort of set the tone for us. A take it or leave it attitude to service? However, chap was polite with us, gave us keys basic ideas, and we paid, as asked, before even seeing room, another no no for us normally. We told him we'd not have breakfast next morning as we were on 1st train up into the mountains. Room turned out to be not that bad, shower room a bit of a pokey after thought. Spotted a nice sharp damaged base to mirror above water glasses, before we cut knuckles on it. Needs replacing. It is an old building, but somebody ought to nail some floorboards down after maybe doing some sound insulation between, as every step on floor above and round about is very very loud, meaning you sleep late and wake early. Some stains on carpet in various places. Having traveeled all day, we opted to eat first night at half board, but wine, coffee and water is all added on at £50!! 2nd night we ate out, and had an uneventful but noisy nights sleep in the creaky ship style room both evenings. Breakfast was good on 2nd morning, even some cooked bacon and eggs - good for Brits. On leaving, reception would not deduct the 2 breakfasts we didn't have, (and which we said on arrival we didn't want) from the meal ”extras” we did have and want (and which we thought would be included), which seemed highly unreasonable, if not totally intransigent and so left a feel of being pick pocketted, as their rooms and prices are not at the cheap end, nor top drawer as in photo on site. Dinner staff were impeccable, if a tad over attentive, the meal was also very good food, so no complaints there except at 40+ per person wine and coffee (and certainly water) should really be inclusive as is our experience most everywhere in France on priced ”menu” perhaps not en carte. So, not our happiest stop over ever, we felt like minor inconveniences at times, not entirely value for money, hence the average score. Probably would not go back.
