Le Roitelet

A good 2-star hotel that was pretty decent value. Very helpful with a late arrival and staff lovely to my two young children. Room as basic but warm and the beds decent. A shower in the bath without a screen always annoys me though! A bit of a walk up to the village and Super Chatel gondola but also a bus stop right out the front. Overall pretty good and would probably stay again.

Excellent room in a great location. Very spacious room. Quiet. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. English speaking. The largest room we stayed in in Europe. Very happy.

Fantastic location easy walking distance (5 mins) to Chatel center, bike rentals, etc. Talk to the owners and they'll recommend bike shops, swimming pool, etc (discount access to pool in Chatel and lifts for hiking at Le Chatel). Buy DH Bike tickets at Le Chatel itself. Free bus takes riders (and hikers) plus bikes to the lifts. Hotel is clean and rooms are well outfitted. Most have a great mountain view and a calming stream runs down the side of the property, so blocks and normal hotel noise. Very relaxing to wake up to in the morning. Hotel breakfast is plentiful, in the classic French style (coffee etc., croissant, bread and jam, juice) plus cereal and pastry options at the buffet. Good value too, compared with other locations. Restaurant has a very unique menu, with specials varying daily. Don't expect burger and fries, but instead true French imagination (fondue, quiche, etc.) with reasonable (although not cheap) prices. Local selection of wines available too. Well worth it for anyone except the super-budget traveler. Hotel and restaurant staff speak English very adequately, but will happily talk with you in French and won't automatically switch to English if you struggle a little, but they will help you along. We found this refreshing when trying to use our 30 year out-of-date school French. Menus are in French (maybe they have a hidden English one for those that need it, but we didn't want it and it wasn't offered thank goodness!). **** (August 2014)

Very pleasant. Really good service, good food and cozy accommodation.
