Traveling for a few days football matches in nearby St. Imier. Beautiful historic building that has been tastefully restored. Very quiet location approximately a kilometer out of the centre. It is at the side of a waterfall that is pretty loud but didn’t bother us because we love the sound of nature.

Breakfast was sufficient but nothing special compared to the fabulous restaurant where we had dinner. Every course we tasted was divine, well presented and the price was fair for such dishes. Elderly people should maybe request a lower room because there’s a lot of stairs and no lift, as is often in older buildings. Still it is quite simply charming in character, friendly atmosphere and also free parking. Would stay there again if...

Read moreEven with a satnav we had some difficulty finding this hotel as it is tucked away in a valley and surrounded by modern buildings. Once we did, however, it was worth the effort. It is a converted water mill with the stream and the mill race still ruching passed the back of the building. You can here this in the room but you quickly get used to it. The conversion has been beautifully achieved and the rooms are comfortable and stylish. The staff were extremely helpful and informative and gave us a free bus ticket to the centre of town which is otherwise a good 15 minute walk away. We walked down the hill into town but were grateful for the bus to get us back up again. Unless you want to go into town to eat it is best to use the hotel's own restaurants where the food is excellent, Breakfast was similarly first class. We cannot recommend this...
