그뤼에르 룸(Gruyere Rooms)

We stayed for a night along our 8-day trip through Switzerland. There are three parking lots on the way up to Gruyères and most visitors are restricted to parking in areas 3 and 2. However, if you are staying the night, you're permitted to continue driving up to area 1 which is about a 10 minute walk to the rooms; just make sure to tell the parking attendant who directs traffic you are staying the night so they allow you to pass, as you don't want to have to walk up from the lower parking areas. Once we arrived, check was relatively easy and located in a hallway on the 1st floor. Our room was #8 which was up 5 flights of stairs; there is an elevator available through the neighboring restaurant, but we didn't mind the walk, despite how noisy those stairs were. The room itself is 'cozy' and has a sloping attic roof which is a bit tricky for taller folks to move around in about in half of room or access the two twin-sized beds. There are a couple of small skylights that open electronically via a tablet near the front door; however, the windows have very slow motors and take about 20 or so seconds to open up 4 inches. Despite the window functionality, the views were great and the windows helped to keep the heat of the attic area at a comfortable temperature. The bathroom was a nice size and had good water pressure and temperature. We departed our room around 8AM the next morning and there was no one at the front desk or store to receive our key, but there was someone to take it at their partner restaurant (Gruyères Traditions). Overall, there aren't many options for lodging in Gruyères, but this is a perfectly adequate and good place to stay for an evening when visiting this unique little town and its amazing HR Giger Museum and Bar.

The staff were lovely and so helpful! The room had the most fabulous view and the property was quiet. A perfect place to stay over Christmas time!

We were greeted on arrival and told that we needed to use the control pad to open the skylights, as our room, room 7, is an attic room and has no windows. The room was warm upon entering, so I turned the radiator in the bedroom off, and the towel rail in the bathroom. I then used the control pad to try and open the skylights. The system initially told me that I could not open the skylights as it was raining, but I had the option to continue anyway. On operating, the skylights in the bedroom opened about 4 cm and then stopped but the skylight in the bathroom never moved, despite selecting “open all skylights” on the control pad. Quite literally, 5 minutes later, the skylights closed… Despite my best efforts, this happened every time that I tried to open the skylights, and consequently the room was hot and airless making sleeping difficult.

This was a solid choice for our stay in the little town of Gruyères. Conveniently located and no issues. Would stay again.

Gruyeres is beautiful village and Gruyeres Rooms is located right in the centre. The village itself is only open to cars at certain times but there is plenty of reasonably priced parking near by and the fact that it is mostly free of cars adds to its charm. The hotel rooms are above a shop which sells souvenirs and also where you can see Gruyere cheese being made. You will get a 10% discount on anything bought in the shop. We booked 2 rooms, an economy double and economy triple which were both in the attic. Don't be put off by the word economy or the fact that the only windows are skylights. Both rooms were exceptionally clean and the triple in particular very bright. Ok, so you don't get a view but as soon as you step out of the door you are in the thick of the village so it really didn't matter. The bathrooms were both large and had lovely powerful showers. The double was a good size and the bed, although very firm, was comfortable, and the bedding was of very good quality. The triple room was extremely spacious with the same quality of beds and bedding. There is no air conditioning, but the fans provided are very good, and even on a hot weekend, we were kept cool overnight and slept well. We missed having a full-length mirror and a safe in the room, and the bed corners do stick out a little, but apart from that, the rooms were great. It is an old wooden building and the stairs are noisy! But we didn't get disturbed by them at all overnight. You will just sound like a herd of elephants going up and down them! There is a slight smell of cheese in the stairwell (which will just make you want a fondue!) But the rooms smell lush, so clean and fresh. We had breakfast at their partner restaurant Gruyeres Traditions (also with 10% off), which was a good continental. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel and the town of Gruyeres which is a delight!

Great location right in the little village. Very comfortable beds in spacious room and bathroom. Friendly and welcoming staff.

We had a family room. It was large and clean. Staff was super nice and friendly. We stayed for one night but enjoyed our stay. Convenience to everything was superb. It’s a small village.

Awesome host, beautiful scenery. We were "upgraded" due to off season and had the best view!

Cute, quaint space right in the center of town.
