Beautiful spot

Nice, historic hotel situated in the hills outside town. The rooms were clean, the staff was welcoming, and the breakfast was generous. I really enjoyed the pastoral atmosphere and the cows in the surrounding fields. Hope to visit again someday!

We stayed here mainly to go skiing in Les Diablerets which is about 5 minutes away by car. Skiing at this time of the year is excellent. There were no queues for the lifts and the slopes were quiet apart from mainly Swiss skiers taking advantage of the quiet slopes, all of whom were expert skiers which helped spur us on to try to emulate them. The hotel hosts/team were also extremely friendly and very attentive, so all-in-all it was a very enjoyable stay.

Hormis le nom affiché d’ « Hôtel » rien d’un hôtel mais en réalité une chambre d’hôtes au mauvais sens du terme : - Aucune explication touristique mais vous renvoie vers l’office de tourisme (pas de « service d’assistance pour les visites touristiques »). - Ménage non effectué alors que nous avions laissé en évidence la pancarte le demandant (donc pas de « service de ménage tous les jours ») - La douche face au lit avec une paroie vitrée transparente et le lavabo dans la chambre (pas de salle de bain séparée) - Un chien logé dans la CUISINE vous saute dessus lorsque vous entrez ou sortez - Chambre indiquée comme « insonorisée » alors que vous entendez tous les pas de vos voisins d’au-dessus - Petit déjeuner spartiate bien loin de la photo figurant sur expédia - Pas de personnel mais des propriétaires intrusifs - Expedia mentionne « activités proposés par l’hôtel : patin à glace, promenades en raquettes… » or… rien - Chambre d’hôtes perdue en haut d’un étroit chemin escarpé, en pente, verglacé et qui permet à peine le passage d’une voiture alors qu’il est en double sens - Tarif via expédia beaucoup plus élevé que le tarif indiqué dans la chambre - Billard rendu inaccessible poussé contre le mur de la salle « de jeux » devenu salle de réunion - Aucun « snack-bar » la journée - TV qui ne fonctionne pas - « station de ski de Villars-Gryon » 6 min à pied c’est faux

Cheguei no meu paraíso

Descer na estação ferroviária de Les Diablerets e ligar ao anfitrião para levar ao hotel. Descemos 2 estações antes, na estação Les Bovets e tivemos que subir uma trilha que dava direto na estrada, sendo que para ir ao hotel, tivemos que ir pela estrada que não tinha acostamento. Sorte que um senhor parou o carro, dissemos o nome do hotel que estávamos indo e ele ligou ao anfitrião que nos pegou no meio da subida da rua para o hotel. Depois, o anfitrião Francis (uma simpatia) nos emprestou o carro dele, de graça, com tanque cheio, para andarmos pela cidade e irmos para onde quiséssemos. Nos levou (seguiu na frente com outro carro dele) a um restaurante em Les Diablerets para almoçarmos (estava fechado mas como o dono era amigo dele, abriu uma exceção e nos serviu o almoço). No dia seguinte, no carro emprestado, fomos ao shopping da cidade de Monthey, da loja Manor. O almoço na Manor foi muito bom (pasta com camarões, salmão e molho branco a CHF 16,90). O Glacier 3000 estava fechado em virtude das chuvas. Nevou muito. Jantamos muito bem todos os dias no hotel. O fondue simples, só com pão, é maravilhoso. A pasta especialidade da casa, com premiação de regência de comida regional suíça, com publicação num livro de culinária regional suíça, também é muito bom. Há um piano "forte" de meia-cauda com um som lindo. A anfitriã é pianista e a música clássica se faz presente nas refeições. Se puder, leve partitura. Nunca me senti tão em casa. Cheguei ao meu paraíso.

Sad and horrible experience

Hotel room description doesn’t match as advertised, roof room is actually an attic room with lot of stuff stored in there, and full of dust, which was an absolute no no for me who suffers horribly from allergies. We requested a different room, unfortunately the response was extremely rude frim the manager. The hotel is also a bit off from the main village where all the activities are. Very sad and horrible experience.

Wow! What a joy to stay at Hotel du Pillon. Friendly and available staff/proprietors, amazing food, comfortable/clean/quiet rooms, all very relaxing and affordable. Amazing views, close to great hiking/footpaths, and close to the town of Les Diablerets. There was nothing I didn’t like. I would heartily recommend to friends and family that they should visit—I will likely return!
