Hôtel de la Forêt

We had a great stay here for the weekend. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the bedroom had loads of hooks and storage etc that make your life easier and so many places miss. The balcony was lovely to sit out on in the evening facing the mountains. Real double bed and duvet was a rare treat. All the staff were very friendly and kind. We really appreciated that they let us back into our room after checkout to shower after a day mountain biking before the journey home.

I liked the 70s vibe inside! Great location - short walk to the ski lifts, bus stop shops or the cheap kebab place nearby. The staff were very helpful and happy to chat - especially Victor. The breakfast was also great.

The family hotel in Crans-Montana was fantastic. It's right next to the ski slopes, which was very convenient. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The breakfast had a lot of variety and was delicious. The staff was friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

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.

There was no functioning elevator, so we had to drag our luggage up two flights of stairs, which was very stressful. My room was extremely hot, and I had to keep the balcony door open the entire time. Meanwhile, my other friends complained that their rooms were too cold. The breakfast options were quite limited, and it was a 15 to 20-minute walk to the nearest shop and restaurant.

Stayed in hotel de la foret for 4 nights in February. We went solely for skiing so all we required was a comfortable room, somewhere for our equipment and a nice breakfast in the morning. Our expectations were definitely exceeded. The room was warm and cozy with a spectacular view, and the service was very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is a bit of an uphill walk to the ski lift, but if you aren't up for it there is a free shuttle stopping outside the hotel that takes 1 minute to get you to the lift. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a very affordable and comfortable stay in Crans Montana.

The only two good things about the hotel is the staff and the view. We booked a deluxe room with a view of the mountains and when we got there two big threes where blocking half the view (technically providing the Mountain View but not at all as showed in the pictures. Furthermore this was supposed to be the best room the hotel had to offer but was full of stains on the carpet floor and there was a whole in the bedsheets. The hotel itself is very old looking and very used, and the facilities such as the hairdryer (which is a million years old) and the tv (which isn’t nearly as big as said in the add, actually it’s more the seize of a computer screen) did not in any way live up to the expectation we had when booking a “deluxe” room. ||The road is just down by the rooms and the car noise is super disturbing, when sitting on the balcony and trying to enjoy a peaceful moment. |You can even hear it when closing the balcony door. But the worst disturbance is the ability to hear EVERYTHING private that goes on in the nearby bathrooms. Every pee, ever splash, every handwash and flush of toilets. Super uncomfortable. |Another minus is the cleaning lady who starts hovering the halls around 7.15 in the mornings. So no chance of late sleep-ins there. ||On the webpage it said that the restaurant was closed which was true, but the bar also seemed very closed. ||Another big letdown was the “spa and wellness available” which is just a small fitness room and a sauna. |So don’t book if you’re there to have a relaxing getaway in the mountains. ||The breakfast is okay-ish. Better than expected. ||We ended up leaving a day earlier because it just wasn’t what was promised in our opinion. ||So the only two good things was the very very lovely staff who did everything they could to help, letting us change rooms to a full Mountain View but then having a smaller room, and that the receptionist let us have the last night as a voucher, if we wanted to give them another chance if we ever came to the area again and so the money wouldn’t be a total waste.

Really nice hotel. Friendly staff and very good breakfast (Continental). Rooms are warm and good size, beds comfy. Yes, a little tired in places but perfect for a no frills getaway to Crans Montana for a few days.
