A magical place with the best hosts. A very comfortable and very family friendly hotel. The years of love that have gone into this place are palpable. I would recommend to any family or couple.
We had a lovely stay in Samoens. The lodge room was perfect, clean with all amenities you need. The hotel has easy parking and is in walking distance to the town. Swimming pool and facilities all great. Would definitely come back.
Clean hotel and bedroom, cosy bar, friendly staff, full spa facilities, ideal location close to ski resorts
Reasonable rates, would definitely book again
MANQUE UNE CAFETIERE DANS LA CHAMBRE
ET POUR LE PETIT DEJEUNER CE N EST PAS UNE BONNE IDEE DE METTRE D OFFICE SUR LA TABLE UNE CORBEILLE AVEC 2 MORCEAUX DE PAIN ET 2 CROISSANTS
POUR LE RESTAURANT C EST BON MAIS 1 H D ATTENTE POUR UN PLAT
OUVERTURE DU RESTAURANT A 19 H ET 3 MN PLUS TARD PLUS DE PLAT DU MENU DU JOUR!!!!!
A very homely hotel, great facilities, great swiming pool and spa. Close to town center but the garden is a beautiful place to relax, would definitely recommend.
