    The only aspect is the creaking floor boards - more from the perspective it could annoy fellow guests, in rooms below than impacting us ourselves.

    Everything worked sufficiently as planned and expected. Though named a "hotel" it was more like guests hosted in a holiday home. The Swiss charm envelopes the property, very comfortable for what it is. Thank you to the property owners, much appreciate your efforts in keeping it up in its current form, considering its long history.

    The location was very pleasant in the countryside. The property was homely and not like a 'Hotel' which was lovely and whilst there wasn't a restaurant as Hotels offer, there was a menu to choose from for meals if you didn't want to drive into town. The meals were lovely home cooked meals and much more convenient than going out to eat.

    Our stay was only for 2 night.

    It is easy to find by google maps, parking just in front of the hotel. Francis and his wife are great hosts, very welcoming, trying to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Rooms are simple, but you have everything you need + nice declaration. Amazing view from the balcony and the terrace. No doubt, we will be back again.

    There wasn't anything as such😊

    We had an incredible experience during our stay here, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Mr. Francis. He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making our visit to Glacier 3000 truly memorable. The location is stunning, but Mr. Francis truly made our stay exceptional. We're grateful for his outstanding service.

    A memorable stay in a charming and unique hotel
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    This is a unique historic hotel with character and charm in design and atmosphere, a lovely collection of artwork and photographs throughout, a warm welcome and reception room with a fireplace and armchairs and comfortable spacious rooms with plenty of light. I have not stayed in any other place quite like it that achieves old fashioned appeal without feeling either stuffy or worn down. The hotel is perched above the town with a beautiful view; We had the good luck to wake up after a fresh snowfall and the whole valley was sparkling. The owner is kind and also interesting. Overall a memorable stay.

    A rare gem in the hospitality business. The owner welcomes you, advises you and helps with a friendly tone that isn't "faked" like in most high-end hotels. The story of his adventure with the place is inspiring and relatable. The staff is exceptional, with a sense of humor as well, the food is amazing, the view breathtaking, and the list goes on.

    We were looking for a quaint mountain getaway and this hotel was perfect. Accessible by train, Swiss mountain decor, and lovely breakfast and dinner. The room was very comfortable and it was lovely being on the balcony and sun deck with the mountain views. Wouldn’t stay elsewhere in Les Diablerets!
