The setting and activities are fantastic. However, while the hotel is clean, it feels outdated, with no internet in the rooms. The plumbing is noisy, and the heating can't be adjusted; I had to sleep with the window open. Finally, LE JARDIN is an annex and a 150-meter walk from the restaurant. The staff is friendly.

Hello Ana,


Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you were fully satisfied with the setting and activities of your stay.

We have taken note of your comments regarding the hotel's comfort. As an authentic mountain establishment, it does indeed have some older features, such as central heating, and has chosen to limit Wi-Fi to common areas to encourage a more convivial atmosphere. Its layout, including the Jardin annex, allows it to offer a peaceful location and affordable rates for hiking.

We hope that these aspects have not detracted from your enjoyment of discovering the region.

Beautiful scenery and lovely snowshoeing trails off the beaten track. One small drawback with the hotel: the toilet flush was incredibly noisy, as were the bathroom taps.
