 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Myself and my missus are going to Verbier for a Thursday-Sunday weekend in January. We have 3 hotel options: Hotel La Rotonde, Hotel Les Chamois and Hotel Bristol. Are any of these significantly better or worse than the others? Is the Bristol affected by late night noise ? A good night's sleep is high priority !

@colmhardiman, Sadly, I wouldn't call any of those three locations tranquil or peaceful - you are right in the centre of town and should usually expect a few partygoers wending their way home late at night! The W, Chalet d'Adrien and The Lodge are all in quieter locations (although the W can have some piste basher noise at night as they prepare the snow around the Medran lift station), but the prices can be a bit higher!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've stayed in the Rotunde and the Bristol and neither are great as the chaep hotels in Verbier attract a noisy crowd, plus they're right on the main drag so traffic is an issue
Don't know the other place
Try the Farinet

@colmhardiman, which did you book? I'm also looking for a B&B Hotel for 4 nights from Sun 18th Dec.
I guess clean and warm without being rowdy is what we are looking for as 55+ year olds!!

Several local friends have stayed at the Bristol for weekends and liked it. W / Cordée are in a very different price bracket eg it’s over 1000chf per night at the W.

@kitenski Booked the Chamois in the end. Have stayed there before but really can't remember anything much about it so I know it wasn't rowdy  Will be keen to hear how you get on in the Bristol as we will probably be back in Verbier again either this season or next

Just to report back on this. We had a great weekend in Verbier staying at the Chamois. The location is excellent, just off the main street between the Medran and Place Centrale. Breakfast was a good continental buffet. Our room ("Double Superior") was very spacious and had a proper comfortable double bed, not two twins pushed together. The walls could do with better soundproofing as you could hear people next door talking so bring earplugs but on the whole it was a nice friendly, quiet 3* hotel and we would happily stay there again.
We've visited Verbier several times before but this was the first time we got the train from GVA. As others have said on here, it is super easy and convenient. I don't think we'd hire a car again for this trip.

@colmhardiman, our daughter, mid forties, and a girlfriend got away for a long weekend, last weekend in Verbier and I have just reread her WhatsApp message - and they stayed at the Chamois, described as a lovely hotel,
v comfy if a little vintage, super nice staff. They had a family room so two separate rooms. And great location.

You know it makes sense.

FWIW we stayed in the Bristol before Xmas, was quiet enough, had the window open at nights and no issues with noise. Good breakfast and very friendly staff and they allowed us to use the sauna to shower after skiing before a late flight home. Only issue was entitled Porsche drivers not liking us parking mostly off the road to load the car!! Must have delayed their journey by 30 secs, the horror of it!
