    Beautiful historic hotel, friendly owner. Very clean and quiet. Off the beaten path, must be willing to walk at least 1.5 km to the little village for other food/entertainment.

    Great location, admirable historic hotel run by a wonderful and courageous family. Wandering around on soft slopes is a must, no great distance to reconnect with nature...

    We had an unforgettable vacation! This historic hotel impressed with its wonderful and cozy interior and the warm welcome and sincere care of the hosts. It is radically different from the usual hotels that you forget after a week. I think we will not forget Du Pillon and his exceptional spirit for the rest of our lives!

    The owners of this place really make it shine, both friendly and personable. It kind of felt like showing up at your aunts house in the country. The hotel is a beautiful historic hotel in the heart of the Les Diablerets region.

    This is one of the best accommodation experiences we have stayed ever, even though we have many to choose from. The renovated historic hotel feels also like a swiss home nestled in the mountains. An old fashioned appeal but with all the necessary modern amenities and facilities. Everything was perfect: the view of the mountains (what a wonderful view towards Les Diablerets from the balconies!), the breakfast was amazing, the quite heavenly location  above the village in short distance surrounded by mountains is perfect, the room was clean and spacious. But the best experience was the owner, Mr. Francis, together with his wife: welcoming, friendly and helpful. Thank you for everything, we can’t wait to come back as soon as possible

    This is one of the best properties we have stayed in. Francis, the owner and manager personally attended to everyone of our needs. Even though it's a hotel, it feels like your home in the mountains with all the amenities of a modern hotel. If staying in this area, would highly recommend for the personalized care, gorgeous mountain views and serene local setting

    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.

    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.

    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.
