호텔 레지당스 드 라 포레(Hotel de la Foret)

Limited parking. Breakfast buffet ran out items that were not adequately refilled. Rooms are really tiny. But functional (comfortable beds, hot shower, clean.) Not at all worth the price paid during peak season.

Very cosy hotel, 500 m from the Violettes ski cabin; bus available but quite rare, though it doesn't take long to walk to the city center Montana (about 10.min) and Crans (20-25 min). Nicely decorated, vintage, with a warm winter holidays a**osphere. Good breakfast, comfortable bed, beautiful view from the balcony. The hotel offers tasty 3 course dinner menues at a very affordable price (for Switzerland). Saves you money if you don't wanna look for pricy restaurants that need to be booked in advance. Very nice and welcoming staff. I would come back.

View from the room was exceptional. The facilities at the hotel were ok but have seen better. No coffee or tea making facilities in the rooms, bottled water in room were chargeable at 3 CHF per bottle and restaurant closed at 1900!! Hair dryer should have been included in the room according to the specification but had to be requested at reception. The hotel location was high up in the mountains. Great if you are capable (driving and walking) but could be too much for some people if not so mobile. Town centre was ca. 1.5 km from the hotel with several restaurants offering a good range of food types. The limited on site facilities could have been better.

Stayed in this hotel for 11 nights, got a single room on second floor, right in front of the elevator and attached to the stairs. Room very small and really worn out even if very clean. Still, the old moquette and holes in the sheets surprised me a bit. PRO: - the staff is really kind, available, smiling - breakfast is very various, topped up constantly CONS: - very limited parking places - no minifridge in the room - small bottles of water put in ur room every day are charged at the end..I mean; in a 200€-per-night single room.. - wifi very poor in almost all areas - the hairdryer was older than me and I’m almost in menopause:))) - NOISE. The real problem is that even with silicone earplugs you hear your neighbors snoring, fighting, peeing, xxx-ing, dogs barking, kids screaming, u can easily listen to their tv show.. and as soon as they are done, only a couple of hours to enjoy the silence before the cleaning ladies arrive at 7 and discuss loudly across the corridors while vacuuming. I don’t want to seem picky, as I said it’s a clean and welcoming place but definitely not worth that price 😊 -

It was very nice. Very cozy and warm family run hotel.

Really lovely and comfortable hotel, great views. Great transport connections!

Very good quality-price stay 👌

We stayed at Hotel de la Foret in February 2022. There were four of us (2 adults and 2 children) in a family room at the back of the hotel (so no balcony). There was plenty of space for four, with 4 single beds (two pushed together). Wi-Fi (vital for teens) was good. Always lots of hot-water. Found the hotel quiet at night. Breakfast was excellent every morning, with cereals, bread/toast, teas/coffees/hot choc, pastries, fruit, ham/cheese, yoghurt. Plenty to stoke yourself up with for the day. The hotel is well located, about a 3 minute walk to the Etoile bus stop, from where you can catch the free buses in either direction. We went to Barzettes and started our day on the Violettes lift most mornings. The buses always arrive exactly on time! In the evenings we normally took the bus into town to a restaurant then walked back (about 15 mins downhill). The staff were friendly, but the only negative was our experience of eating in the restaurant. We ate there twice. The first night it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our food. Just about acceptable. The second time it took over an hour, maybe 1h10m. Communication was terrible and there was no apology or offer of compensation. Ultimately after I pointed out that this was appalling service, they took some money off the bill. I am aware they were short-staffed due to Covid, but we were the first in the restaurant and others arrived, ordered and left before we even received our food. That aside, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend the Hotel de la Foret for families or as a budget location in Crans Montana.

The surroundings are astounding
