Le Chalet Suisse was a lovely place to stay! The room was clean and cozy, with comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. It’s also in a perfect location — just a short walk to town, shops, and restaurants. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere made the stay even better. Would definitely come back!

The property and bathroom fixtures (toilet, shower) are quite old and worn-out. The location is good, so you forget quickly if it only one night and you find a nice place for breakfast around.

The greeting from staff and free room upgrade was very welcoming and appreciated. The rooms are very tired as is the general surrounds of the facility. The couch in our room was covered in stains and the upper landing wall was thick with dust. Two pieces of artwork were peeling and a strange Rhinoceros seat? in the lounge was very very dirty. The kitchen, bedding and bathroom were clean though. Access to the rooms and parking at the facility are not user friendly. The location was lovely looking out over the water and very close to town.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a really great time. They have great facilities, pool, jacuzzi, laundry facilities and the staff are all very helpful. They made us welcome with a box of chocolates, because it was new years, and really made our stay comfortable. Top marks all round!

We had a great stay. The room was clean and provides enough space for 4, without feeling on top of each other. Basically across the road from the lakefront. Nice and quiet. Great pool and spa, the kids loved it. Also only 2 blocks from the city centre.
