    There wasn't anything as such😊

    We had an incredible experience during our stay here, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Mr. Francis. He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making our visit to Glacier 3000 truly memorable. The location is stunning, but Mr. Francis truly made our stay exceptional. We're grateful for his outstanding service.

    A memorable stay in a charming and unique hotel
    • Leisure trip

    • Superior Quadruple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    This is a unique historic hotel with character and charm in design and atmosphere, a lovely collection of artwork and photographs throughout, a warm welcome and reception room with a fireplace and armchairs and comfortable spacious rooms with plenty of light. I have not stayed in any other place quite like it that achieves old fashioned appeal without feeling either stuffy or worn down. The hotel is perched above the town with a beautiful view; We had the good luck to wake up after a fresh snowfall and the whole valley was sparkling. The owner is kind and also interesting. Overall a memorable stay.

We have dinner in the hotel and we tasted the pasta that the owner indicated for us. It was awesome! And the portion was really big!

    A rare gem in the hospitality business. The owner welcomes you, advises you and helps with a friendly tone that isn't "faked" like in most high-end hotels. The story of his adventure with the place is inspiring and relatable. The staff is exceptional, with a sense of humor as well, the food is amazing, the view breathtaking, and the list goes on.

    We were looking for a quaint mountain getaway and this hotel was perfect. Accessible by train, Swiss mountain decor, and lovely breakfast and dinner. The room was very comfortable and it was lovely being on the balcony and sun deck with the mountain views. Wouldn’t stay elsewhere in Les Diablerets!

    Nothing - it was a perfect stay.

    The owners Francis and Michelle went out of their way in making our stay a comfortable and seamless one. We had arrived early before 12 noon, and everything was perfect thereafter till the point of us taking the train to Chamonix. Early check in? Not a problem! Need to go to the nearest bus stop and back? We'll give you a ride. Nothing was a hassle to Francis and his lovely wife who so readily offered us a jar of her delicious homemade tomato verte jam to take home to Singapore - never have I tasted such an amazing jam! It was hospitality at its best (where everything is taken care of from check in) - we felt so welcomed and so comfortable at the hotel that we wished we could have stayed longer. The decor, the furnishings of the hotel were all thoughtfully and tastefully planned and implemented - you have to stay here to experience the coziness and the beauty of it all. While rules were set out in the bedrooms etc, we actually appreciated them as it gave us an idea of the boundaries to be kept. All being said, our family had a great stay and even our teenage girls were impressed and thankful for the hospitality shown in offering us a ride and all. Thank you Francis and Michelle for a memorable stay.
