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.

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.

Excellent Hotel
A very quite village, and the staff could not have been more pleasent. My only tiny issue was that the front of the hotel was not gritted and was very icey during my stay going to and from the car.

Fabulous folks, food, location
The rooms are spartan but fabulously clean. The bar was closed when we arrived late but the charming owner prepared plates for us, including potatoes dauphinois prepared by her husband the chef. There's not much around, and this hotel/hostel was a fabulous find!
