Hotels Near La Sittelle in Ormont-Dessous

This hotel really surprises me, and it is very cost-effective. The location is super good, the sight line is great, the decoration of the hotel is also very distinctive, the hotel also has a small hot spring pool, the service attitude of the hotel staff is also very good, and there is rice for dinner.

We booked this suite direct after contacting the hotel asking for room rates & availability. They suggested the suite would suit our family group (myself, partner & 2 girls in their 20s). They were right. The suite had a large room with king size bed, sofa / lounge area with TV & balcony with a fabulous view of the mountains. Another large room with 2 single beds & TV was great for the girls & we shared a well appointed bathroom with bath & shower. We were together but had plenty of space. Everything was tastefully decorated & super comfortable. We opted for breakfast at the reduced ‘book ahead’ rate which was good value, but would have been perfect with a hot option of bacon and / or sausage. The hotel is very conveniently located opposite the cog railway to the ski slopes. It had a good heated ski / boot room & free parking right outside the hotel. Staff are friendly & attentive. We booked reduced rate tickets to the Villars Spa which was lovely & a short walk away. The hotel provided towels. We enjoyed a meal in the hotel on one evening which was lovely & reasonable value with the included side dishes. Hotel & restaurant highly recommended & would definitely book again.

Very distinctive ancient building, the garden is decorated with flowers and crawls around. Sitting in the middle of the mountain, sitting on the terrace overlooking Lake Geneva, the mood is very comfortable. The strong sense of history furniture and interiors bring us different surprises. The hotel distributes a paper, you can take the bus to the commercial street by the lake for free, you can walk to Xiyong Castle or you can get a discount. Chinese translation and explanation are available.

I'm so glad that hostel is open again. Unfortunately only the reception area was renovated. The breakfast room still has no windows and the bedroom got really hot. Hostel is located very close to the lake but behind the train tracks so it can get loud in the room. We booked a double room but got a room for 4 with 2 bunk beds. It was okay for us but would have not been nice if travelling as a couple. it can be noisy at night also from the hallways. Room was ok clean but there were lots of stains on the floor that would've been very easy to clean. Price was very high for a hostel but that's maybe due to the Jazz Festival. Good to know: This hostel doesn't have a shared kitchen for its guests.

A very disppointing experience from start to finish. We spent 3 days wishing we had chosen a different hotel but unable to leave as we had pre-paid a package to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It started badly as we arrived on a very hot day (34°) to be allocated a stifling hot room in which all the lights had been left on and the sun shade not drawn. Reception advised that the room had a fan (in the absence of air conditioning) but there was none to be found! A small desk fan was brought up to the room later in the afternoon. Our room remained hotter inside than outside for the entire stay. Dinner that evening was not a pleasant experience. The staff were dour, the menu wasn’t explained and the courses were just plonked on our table and then taken away in total silence. The soup (fennel) had no taste, as though it was a mixture of flour and water, and was luke warm. The ambience was terrible due to discotheque-type music (rap, etc) being played so loudly that I couldn’t hear myself thinking, let alone have normal converstaion with my wife. After 30 minutes, I got up from the table and asked the maitre d’ to turn down the volume. One might expect that a classy restaurant would have the gumption to play subtle background music. Breakfast the next morning was poor. The staff similarly failed to offer any sort of greeting or hospitality. I found the coffee to be undrinkable (over-stewed, not fresh) while the scrambled eggs looked and tasted as though they’d been resuscitated from the night before. We attempted to complain to the Manager but were told by Reception that he was unavailable that day. Although I detailed the several issues, no apology was forthcoming neither did anyone (i.e. the errant Manager) seek to make any amends during the remainder of our stay. I was informed by Reception that most of the current staff were “in training”, a lame excuse as the Management should ensure a proper mix with some professional staff available to maintain quality. Perhaps, its just an unhappy place to work. As regards the Restaurant, we voted with our feet and dined elsewhere for the next 2 days - Montreux has many excellent Restaurants. In its heyday, this would have been a fine hotel particularly given its superb location and beautiful gardens. Now, it doesn’t merit its 4 star category nor the prices charged. Our room was dismal, the ventilator in the bathroom was non-functioning with subsequent mould and bad smell, an already bloodstained bath towel was not replaced after 3 days, the external balcony sun-shade was in tatters and stained. Warrants a 2 star category.

We had a quadruple room. There were 2 beds in one room with a sink in the room, and 2 beds pushed together in the other room with a sink and shower/tub in that room. Fixtures were old and shower was hard to use for someone tall. The only toilet was in the hall and did not have its own sink. We also had family in a nearby double room and they had a modern bathroom. The location is good. There is a bus stop right outside that will take you to Chillon Castle or the train station. We were given free transport cards. There is a French bakery just outside the hotel and it was an easy walk to Montreux Noel. We did not have the hotel's breakfast. There is a restaurant and bar on site. The best part was the view. We had a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs with a view of the lake and the mountains that was wonderful to wake up to.

This was one of the most spacious rooms we've ever stayed in, with a balcony overlooking the lake -- just an amazing view! It is ”antique” in many ways, but charming and comfortable. The dining and common areas are gorgeous. The staff was very friendly and assisted us with our sightseeing plans. It is right next door to the ****** (Queen studio) and very easy (and beautiful) 20 minute walk along the lake to get to the Chillon Castle. It is about 2 blocks from the train station, and close to bank and several restaurants and stores.

I stayed in Montreux for two nights. I spent a long time choosing a hotel, and I didn't make the wrong choice. It's a well-established five-star hotel with first-class environment and service. When I opened the door of the hotel room, I could see the picturesque scenery, snow-capped mountains and lakes. The lake road outside the hotel is also very beautiful, and it's about a 12-minute walk from the train station. Highly recommended.

Hotel is in a beautiful location with a fantastic view on the lake and on the mountains. Lunch was great and so was the equipment in the meeting rooms. Not so great is the responsiveness of the hotel for booking conferences, there is no dedicated contact person for this and also the flexibility and willingness to accommodate is lacking. It might be due to Covid, but what hotel is ”closed” for service on a Monday and between 1500-1900 o'clock every day? All in all, our meetings went well, but I would not book there for a conference again. Also, carpets in a hotel room that are smelly and dirty is not the best set for a good night sleep.

Mit unserer 3 Monat alten Tochter waren wir nach Genf unterwegs und haben einen Halt in Vevey eingeplant. Parkplätze befinden sich direkt vor dem Hotel und kosten etwas. Unser Zimmer war sehr gross, hell und sauber. Ein Babybett wird auf Anfrage zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Hotel befindet sich leider nicht im Zentrum von Vevey und zu Fuss wäre es zu weit. Es gibt ein Restaurant im Hotel, welches wir aber nicht genutzt haben. Wasser aus einer Quelle kann man kostenlos selber auffüllen im Hotelgang. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
