    I liked the position, the cozy room and the sauna. For the money I think it’s really worth it

    I liked the sauna Who can be really used alone. The Radiators in our room where not working and they changed us the room suddenly

    We have been located on the top floor with drafty window. It was freezing cold and traffic noise can be easily heard at night. Bathroom was tiny and not easy to have a shower inside. Socket came off from the wall and should be fixed for security reasons.

    Location and free indoor parking. Fresh scrambled eggs can be ordered for breakfast.

    We chose this hotel because it claimed to cater for vegans. It doesn't. No non-dairy milks, for example.

    The room and facilities were clean and functional.

    Automatic check-in worked terribly and there was no answer in the telphone number provided for half an hour. Lounge whch was promised to be opened 24/7 was locked and there was no way to get coffee until the morning. Veriety of selection in breakfast was very poor - no vegetables or muesli.

    Excellent location. Room spacy and comfortable bed.

    Menu could have been better for veggies - there were options but 24chf for carrots and parsnips without any noodles, pulses etc seemed a lot! Not amazing post-mountain food. Vegetarians/vegans don’t just eat piles of vegetables 😆

    We didn't like that we had such a small windows- not the view we got on the booking. We did not like that when we wanted to check in that it was asking us to pay agan. We did not like it the the second morning breakfast was not prepared for us, we had to ask for bread, for juice, for eggs. Staff was very helpfull after asking. And we did not like that we had to pay for taxes again by checking out, should be included.

    Very frienly staff, very helpfull beautiful person. Comfortable beds and pillows. 1st day breakfast was good, everything available.

    Can't comment really as we ended up leaving. The problem was we had problems checking in with the automated system and this took a very long time (over an hour) to resolve as no-one was there. This was despite us attempting to check in half an hour earlier than check-in time (2.30pm) while there were still staff in the restaurant to avoid this problem, as the hotel had actually phoned to say there was a problem with the check-in system and we had seen from booking reviews that this was a known issue with the hotel. We live not too far away so for us the best option was to go home rather than wait around in the cold porch feeling annoyed! The hotel were good about processing the refund of our room very quickly given the circumstances. However, the hotel needs to take steps to be more flexible helping clients when their automated system does not work.

    Exceptional Stay for a large group

    While our stay was nearly perfect, the addition of a dedicated kids' playroom and babysitting services could significantly enhance the experience for families, ensuring a truly relaxing and worry-free getaway for parents.

    Our group of 24, including babies, had a fantastic stay at Peanut Mountain Lodge & Le Communal. The staff, especially Amendine, showcased outstanding professionalism and attention to detail, ensuring our needs were met with the utmost care. The cuisine was a standout, earning unanimous praise from our group for its quality and taste, thanks to the skilled chef. Located just 10 minutes from the ski resort, the lodge offered convenient access to the slopes, making our ski trips effortless and enjoyable. In Summary: Highly recommended for groups seeking a mix of comfort, exceptional service, and easy ski access. A big thank you to the entire lodge team for a memorable stay. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

    Nice building and restaurant though, but the campervan-like bathroom and seating is a poor choice
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Room
    • Stayed 2 nights
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    - Self check-in was a bit confusing and some instructions only in French - Too less parking possibilities - Strange and poor choice of room dispositions - The campervan-like bathroom looks maybe cool but it was so small that it was nearly impossible to fit in and shower, even for a small person! Waste of money. - Any sort of commode/hangers to store/hang clothes was missing - The table in the campervan-like seating area was a bit dangerous and collapsed way too easily - Sauna on the same floor as rooms, bright, widely open and not very suitable to use as textile-free, didn't find any changing area or cooling down place

    - Location, near train station - Self check-in/out - Forest- and mountain-like decorated corridors - Bar/Restaurant staff and food - Self-freshly pressed juice for breakfast - Alternative selection for breakfast
