Bon hébergement, excellents repas!
Bel hôtel avec un charme ancien mais rénové pour beaucoup de confort. L'accueil et le service sont impeccables, que ce soit pour l'hébergement ou le restaurant. Excellente cuisine, belle carte savoureuse pour le dîner, buffet varié pour le petit déjeuner . Les chambres sont relativement petite, mais il y a des aires communes.

Établissement de qualité mais un peu bruyant car en bordure de route. Je préfère les hotels plus petits car plus conviviaux. Pas de reproches à formuler.

I can’t say enough about the owners! They were so very accommodating. Very nice and approachable. They had just renovated some of the property and were going to do more during the seasonal change from summer to winter. The bathroom was newly remodeled and nice. The bed was comfortable, the room size was ok. Could use a dresser for people who are staying for a longer period of time. We came for 2 days to ride our bikes on some of the most amazing passes the Alps have to offer! The location for us was perfect. Nestled between col du Lautaret, col du galibier and Alpe d’Huez. Near Briancon which is a large town with lots of shopping,restaurants and bars. We came with our 75 pound golden retriever and he was warmly welcomed. Parking was good and easy, WiFi was good Inside but not outside. Charming town with a few restaurants.

Une bonne adresse et bon rapport qualité prix
Hôtel tenu par la même famille depuis plusieurs générations. Accueil chaleureux, cuisine excellente et copieux petit déjeuner avec entre autre des confitures maison (un régal), pain et viennoiseries excellents et si vous avez grande faim oeufs préparés sur demande, jambon, fromage etc. Les chambres ont été rénovées et le petit balcon est très appréciable pour se reposer après une randonnée.
