Review 3:Very clean and its modern by the interior inside. Not too big room but it cozy..Bathroom is very nice and really clean.Breakfast is more options.They have a parking place

Review 4:Sunday staff didn't really speak English. Would have needed half an hour more before checkout, but couldn't get that.

Review 5:Nice place, very nice view from balcony,child friendly.

Review 6:The staff was good. When we arrived in the evening guy at the reception chatted with us and told several information about the village and also recommended the near by restaurants. Also at next morning the service was good at breakfast and when we checked out. The room was nice and clean. Also the wifi worked well and fast.

Review 7:If you do not have any interest in Leysin itself you should take into consideration that the road to Leysin is difficult with a lot of curves. The beds were horrible and it seems that the mattress should have been replaced long ago. The light in the room was so weak so you can barely see anything. The WiFi was very weak so you can barely use it.

Review 8:Large room, excellent breakfast

Review 9:elevator to the 3rd floor could helo us with the lugage ( 4 heavy siutcases and 5 bags...)

Review 10:The loccation, the breathtaking view out of the windows, the kindness and cooperation of the staff, the spacious rooms (5 people felt very comfortable) and the generous and tasty breakfast.

Review 11:we were very disappointed that there was no shuttle to station or airport as per their advert .We were told it was a 5 min. walk to station but it was 15mins when I complained he said I must have walked slowly, I am 75 yrs old I do not walk that fast

Review 12:the view

Review 13:Was very noisy! No air conditioning, so when its hot outside, there is very hot in the room as well, the windows couldn't be open because again very loud outside. Also had to wait for a while to pay for the room, because the restaurant was busy at the restaurant

Review 14:The location, design and very clean!

Review 15:We were there visiting a granddaughter at one of the schools and so it was well located for us to avail ourselves of the Village Facilities, as well as take the Free bus up to the school location!

Review 16:The pillows were too thick (if we had asked them to replace them, they would certainly have done it)

Review 17:Everything you need when you want to enjoy a short holiday in this amazing location. Small hotel, excellent location, family-run, very forthcoming and helpful staff, very clean, rich breakfast, typical Alpine-style and cozy environment. Anything you need you can ask with an email before your arrival, or once there, they will be very helpful, gave us information for leisure and activities, provided me a hair-drier and lactose free milk (we brought the 1st morning and they bought for us).

Review 18:It was a typical Swiss cabin in prime location to all amenities. Staff were so friendly and breakfast was great! The Nespresso machine was the cherry on the top!

Review 19:Nothing, save for a perfectible mattress and somewhat thin towels and walls.

Review 20:Do not expect luxury or boutique flair. But, within its category and price range, this is one of the best hotels I ever went too: Quiet, friendly, comfortable, conveniently located in the village center, with unusually kind and helpful owners and staff. Breakfast is very good. So was my quality of sleep.

Review 21:*wifi wasn't always working - that's okay though, required the kids to be more involved with the family :-)

Review 22:*provided with food and outing recommendations *very friendly with the 3 large dogs we had with us *parking was plentiful and right next to the hotel

Review 23:I could not check-in becasue I was quater past 10 pm and there were no staff in the hotel ! I had a great luck because one of guests showed me where the land lady sleeps (building close to the hotel) and I spent 10 minutes knocking on her dors to wake her up and receive a key. I was terrified that I will have to spend nigth on the flow in front of reception desk. Phone number on my reservation was to this empty reception desk :)!

Review 24:Nice atmosphere, very kind personel, clean, comfortable bed, good breakfast

Review 25:Clean, great value for money with excellent breakfast. There is an Intalian restaraunt nearby we went to and tried and excellent pizza with home made sauce and fresh cheese.

Review 26:No coffee/ tea facility in the rooms- This was very disappointing as we had travelled a long distance, had arrived late in the wet/ rainy evening and would have loved to take a cup of coffee/ tea in our peaceful surroundings!

Review 27:Centrally located and lovely breakfast! Friendly owners and the hotel is great value for money!!

Review 28:the owner was helpful, and as a solo older lady traveller took my suitcase to the room- it was large with a terrace overlooking the village. The breakfast was excellent.

Review 29:- Very spacey room with a beautiful view to mountains. - Great location - short walking distance to several restaurants (e.g. La Fromagerie) - Very helpful and friendly staff

Review 30:- Owner complained that we booked via Booking.com. Also complained that the room he gave us was small and it's the last he had (we didn't complain, he did!) - Owner appeared short-tempered but another member of staff was lovely.

Review 31:- Location - Views from room and on way into hotel through windy roads

Review 32:No disadvantages to report.

Review 33:Advantages: Friendly staff Rooms with a great mountain view Good breakfast table Decent beds Interesting drive up to the mountain

Review 34:Way up in the mountains which I really didn't like or know. Too many stairs. No elevator. The floor felt very weak like we would fall through. Needs a little updating. Waited 10 minutes for someone to help us check in.

Review 35:Easy to find. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was nice. Good wifi. Great view. Nice terrace.

Review 36:I stayed very disappointed with the owner of hotel. In the checking voucher was wrote that we can arrive at the hotel until 10:00 PM. We arrived there at 9:15 PM but, the owner was so nervous because of the time and said a lot of things about that was necessary to make a call and inform about the delay etc… I just said that there was no delay and we have followed exactly what was wrote in the voucher, and we arrived 45 minutes before to close the time. He continued to say a lot of bla, bla, bla that the voucher was not him problem and Booking.com problem itself etc…, and I just said to him once again that we have followed exactly the schedule in the voucher and if there was some mistake in the schedule, he has to check and ask to Booking.com to make the future corrections to avoid this type of inconvenience.

Review 86:Good place with good people

Review 87:Internet was weak.

Review 88:It is in a beautiful location in the mountains. A doable walk from the cog train. Lovely view. Nice hiking area. This is not a modern hotel if that is what one is looking for.

Review 89:Very friendly owners and staff. Good, fuss-free attitude, relaxing, lovely cotton bed linen and nice breakfasts. Close to town centre. Cafe open all day. Recommended. I'd happily stay there again.

Review 90:Beds are too short for guests of 6ft (~180cm) and above. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Somewhat too hot in the room (despite a relatively cold night) and no way to adjust heating or open a window.

Review 91:Great view from the room and the balcony. Good buffet breakfast - nice coffee, very fresh & tasty bread, boiled eggs, selection of cold meats and cheese, yoghurts, jams, cereals, milk & fruit juice and fresh fruit. Free parking just outside of the hotel building.

Review 92:The supermarket, bank, restaurants and the rail station were just a short walk away the ski bus was right opposite the hotel and the hotel owners could not have been more helpful, Great holiday.

Review 93:Closed Bar at 10 ish. Not a great ski resort if you have kids, the ski school is a drive from the main slopes. Switzerland is not cheap!!!!!

Review 94:Close to ski school. Friendly, comfortable owner operated hotel.Good sized family rooms. Tasty breakfast.

Review 95:It would have been helpful to know which of the 4 rail stations in Leysin to get off when I first arrived. La Village is the best but I went further 'up' and had a longer walk, fortunately downhill.

Review 96:Proximity to the old village and bus stop. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely views from room. Hotel warm.

Review 97:The hotel is dated and hard to find - it's down the road a ways from the train station and there are no apparent street signs in Leysin.

Review 98:Great value. Comfortable, large room. Great views over the French Alps. The breakfast was very good and the staff was helpful and accomodating. Fluffy pillows made for a good night's sleep!

Review 99:We've stayed in this hotel and we love it very much! It's a very clean and cute room we stayed, with brilliant mountain view. Very helpful and kind staff. The hotel just located at the entry of Leysin and 2mins walking to the local famous restaurant.

Review 100:Very friendly personnel. Excelent quality/price ratio. The fromagerie next to the hotel is not expensive (relative to other restaurants) and for us an experience to taste fondues and other swiss foods

Review 101:The hotel needs to be refurbished; the terrace outside the room is in a poor shape; the mattress are exhausted. More serious, the bar tender in charge of the breakfast room is really unpleasant and seems to consider hotel guests as living nuisance... "Management" in La Tour d'AÏ is obviously non professional which is a pity considering the Swiss reputation in this field !

Review 102:The location is quite OK; value for money.

Review 103:Great location. Beautiful town. Lots of choice for eating out. Amazing views. Great accommodation as we had 2 connecting rooms so older kids had their own space. Lovely breakfast in a room with stunning views.

Review 104:Not even one tiny extra piece of soap for the shower. My room had a mini refridgerator but it stayed locked without a key.

Review 105:Comfortable, budget friendly, fantastic view. Staff is very helpful and speak adequate English.

Review 106:No information about the closure of the bar restaurant. However we found a nice restaurant nearby.

Review 107:The rustic charm, cool mountain air, the view of the mountains from the balcony.

Review 108:Nothing that comes to mind!

Review 109:Lovely Owners and wonderful breakfast. Beds were comfortable and showers were clean. Cheapest place in the entire Lake Geneva area.

Review 110:Great value for the money. One adult and 3 children. We stayed in room number 19, which had eight beds. The room (I should say three connected rooms) was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean. This is important when traveling with young children. Great breakfast and the staff was very friendly. They even served breakfast an hour early for us since we needed to leave early.

Review 111:Not comfortable bad, somebody left underwear under bad, two keys from the room, but no one from minibar, room service not available.

Review 112:Nice village, big history, many places to go. Hotel is located in good place.

Review 113:Our friend's room was fine for one person, but had two beds and would have been very cramped for two people.

Review 114:Good value for money, wonderful views from most rooms, large balcony, owners extremely kind and helpful. Good breakfast, comfy beds.
