Top Pontarlier Hotel Reviews

Kyriad Pontarlier

Kyriad Pontarlier

8/10 Good
"Wichtig, das Hotel ist am Rande der Stadt, aber in der unmittelbarer Nähe, gibt es sehr gute Möglichkeiten zum Essen. Bezüglich des Frühstückes, wir waren sehr positiv überrascht, Es gab frische Gebäcke, warme Speisen wie Bacon und Rührei. Jogurts verschiedener Art. Guter Caffè. Wurst und Käse jeweils zwei Sorten. Cornflakes, Säfte, Milch. An der Theke sind diverse Brettspiele vorhanden. Sehr schade, dass WiFi nicht ins Internet konnte, leider defekt gewesen, aber es ist wirklich nicht so bewegend in unserem Fall gewesen. Wenn man uns frägt, wir empfehlen das Hotel sehr."

"We had a pleasant stay at Hotel Le Lac. The hotel was nice enough, and the staff were welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice, and the dining room was particularly impressive — very elegant and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a nice hotel with a great breakfast, although the room décor felt a little tired and would benefit from an update. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning, which wasn’t ideal during the heatwave we experienced."

"Clean, nicely renovated, comfy bed, spacious room, nice staff. Only one thing: when there is a heatwave, it would be necessary to have access to ice-cubes -- truly it would not be a luxury at all. I would be ok having to pay a fair price for that, because being able to drink cold water is a health matter."
