Pretty setting. Hotel restaurant is apparently good but we were unable to make a reservation. Communication was difficult as the staff exclusively spoke French and were unable to communicate with us in English, German or Italian - while we were able to understand the gist, it is surprising for a hotel that presumably attracts a diverse clientele. No hairdryer in room and WiFi was unreliable. Overall it is surprising that the hotel has a 4 star rating as that was not our experience.

An oasis while walking the GR5
We arrived very wet and grubby after being in the hills during a storm. Although it is a smart hotel, we were warmly greeted and made to feel very welcome. We stayed two nights and ended up well rested and fed and with our clothes clean! Highly recommended.

Great Hotel But Poor Booking Process
Really good stay. Hotel took payment though when they were not supposed to when booked and despite numerous emails hotels.com did not resolve which was really frustrating.

Very Helpful Staff
Very nice hotel. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Can't comment on restaurants as we are both vegetarian and there wasn't really a great veggie offering. This is true of France in general so is not particularly a criticism of this hotel. From what we could see of the menus the other food did look good. My one disappointment was the size of the room. It was clean and the shower/bathroom very good but for the sort of money charged I would not expect a cramped room. Fortunately I did not need to swing any cats. Everything else about the hotel, including the pool and saunas, was very good.
