Gruyère-Rooms

The situation of the house is perfect for visiting the village. The room was clean and bed is comfortable, there are two windows which has the views of the town, downstairs of the rooms is the restaurant, where offer excellent breakfast. The staff were friendly.

This place is right in the middle of the medieval village of Gruyeres, with shops, restaurants and museums within no more than 5 minute walking distance. It has a store right underneath and a restaurant, Gruyeres Traditions, wall-to-wall where if you go to eat you get a 10% discount off your bill. We stayed on the second floor in the room facing the inner square. We had a gorgeous view of one of the gates (the one close to the restaurant and hotel Les Remparts) and the water fountain. The room was quite large, with a desk, double bed, single bed and open bathroom with sink, toilet and bathtub. The bathroom can have privacy if you draw the 2 curtains hanging in front of it but this will not keep the sound away. Oh, and sound travels through the air shaft so you might hear other people. The bathtub was huge-wide and deep, could easily fit 2 people in it. You just need to be careful when you shower because even though they have tiles on the floor and on the wall around it, it is all on wooden structure and water may infiltrate. We had towels and soap both at the sink and bathtub, plenty of toilet paper and a hair-dryer. The whole room was quite clean, the only thing that caught my eye was the side of the curtains from the bath facing the inside of the bath-had some stains. One important thing to keep in mind is that this building is, I guess, an old wooden structure, all of it. So when you go up the stairs they squeak, when you more around the room it all squeaks, the bed squeaks. When a heavier person walks above, you hear as if a rhinoceros is moving above you. As with regards to having intimate relations in that place...you either do not care that others hear everything, or that you might hear everything others do, or you just try to be as silent as a mouse and pray your neighbours will be too...Even though we stayed just 1 day and 2 nights, they came and made our beds. The lady who gave us the key was really nice, could speak to us in English. In case you arrive after 6PM you should let her know in advance so she could leave the key and instructions at the restaurant. When you leave, you just lock the room and leave the key in the post box on the hallway (it is written on it).
