Hotel Roc et Neige

It’s recommended but a bit expensive for backpackers.

The Hotel was our base for an escorted tour on the Golden pass train. What a wonderful location, our room was extremely spacious and wonderful views of the surrounding area. Exceptional restaurant staff very hard working,if there was a down side I'm afraid there wasn't a lot of choice in our evening meals.Our room was serviced every day and was spotless. Remember in Switzerland it's a different plug adapter not the usual European, we purchased ours before we went and took our travel kettle. These were available to loan from restaurant with a deposit which is returned at the end of the holiday. We went to many different experiences, Gueyer cheese factory, chocolate factory ,Interlaken, Bern,Montreux to name a few but our highlights were Glassier 3000 spectacular views especially over the bridge with excellent café. But the top of the list was The Golden pass train, wow from Chateau-D'oex to Interlaken one day then Chateau-D'oex to Montreux, the last journey the carriage was classed as Belle Epoqe.Another couple of tips in resort there is a local supermarket in town but don't forget you're in Switzerland so it's a 10 minute walk uphill depending on how you walk. Also the film star David Niven had a home there and is buried in the local Cemetery. Chateau-D'oex is renowned for hot air ballooning and the orbiter is in the town. All in all a spectacular Golden holiday

We were on a coach tour with Newmarket and this is the worst hotel we've ever stayed in. Basic rooms, no lift to upper floors, had to take our own luggage up 5 flights of stairs, and bring them down again on departure. No fridge in rooms, bed linen and towels were worn and cheap, pillow was flat and lumpy with no support. Food was awful, set menu each night with only a vegetarian option. Obviously chef was on a very tight budget. Breakfast was basic. The hotel had no amenities and nearest village was 20 minutes uphill walk away. The hotel had large garden but only about 10 chairs for more than 40 guests, same with the terrace outside dining room, not nearly enough seating and overlooking a car park.

We stayed here with Newmarket holidays last week It was a perfect, quiet location A perfect base for all of our day trips on the train or by coach to Gstaad Interlaken Gruyere Bern Fribourg Montreaux. The Glacier Our meals were lovely and staff helpful. Room was a spacious twin with a couch and tv. Hairdryer in the bathroom was ok. Plenty of storage in Room 102 with a fabulous view of the mountains. There's an amazing Olympic pool and restaurant about 10 minutes walk away which we went to on a hot day. I'd happily stay here again if I had the rooms on the top floor.

The Roc et Neige hotel is located in the wonderfully picturesque Chateaux D'Oex village surrounded by high mountains and lush green hillside. I stayed at the hotel for a week as part of a group tour with Newmarket Holidays and the hotel was used as a base for daily trips to the surrounding areas of Montreux, Interlaken, Fribourg, Gstaad and Gruyere. The hotel has an idyllic location with breathtaking views all around. The hotel rooms are cosy, functional and clean with maid service each day. High speed internet and good wifi coverage ensures that you can keep in contact and use higher bandwidth services such as Netflix and Youtube. Remember that the Swiss electrical system uses the 3 Swiss pin socket rather than the euro adaptor but local adaptors can be hired from the hotel if you forget them. The hotel staff were very helpful and polite which made the stay enjoyable. Our package tour included breakfast and evening meals on five out of our seven night stay, enabling us to try out the local restaurants in the village on the nights when the hotel restaurant was closed (Tues & Thurs). Evening meals were set menu and superb and the chef does an excellent job to create well presented and tasty three course meals. Breakfast is continental style with fresh breads, rolls, croissants, eggs, yoghurt, cereals meat, juices and a range of teas and coffees. The hotel also catered for one person in our party who was on a GF menu. The hotel is located approx 10 mins walk from the village high street where there are a range of local shops, cafes, a few restaurants, tourist information and a local train station. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Roc et Neige and the beautiful village of Chateaux D'Oex.
