Arrived in deep snow recently, which is the perfect way to experience Gruyere. We parked quite close by-probably would be more difficult in season-there is a panoramic view around the countryside which is wonderful. We walked a few steps to the hotel which is family run and welcoming. Very typically Swiss building- all dark wood. Our room was basic but... More

We stayed in the charming Fleur De Lys in Dec. 2010. The hotel is perfect for a warm, romantic getaway. The room was clean, spacy, elegently styled and warm. Breakfast was rich and included an assortment of cheeses and baked pastery. I highly reccomend visiting Fleur de Lys for a romantic, magical stay. The staff was always pleasent and the... More

We stayed here in late June, 2011. The location is perfect, in the middle of the small town of Gruyere. We had two rooms, both were basic, clean and quiet. The furniture is Ikea/student dorm style and the bathrooms, although very functional and clean, are very dated. The breakfast was included in the price, it too was basic, but fine... More

We were in search of a nice place to have a quick and pleasant local dish (we love the cheese and dairy products from the Gruyère) but were very much disappointed. Having ordered 3 quiches à la Gruyère we soon discovered that there were just some generic pie crusts filled with some sort of completely tasteless gelatinish paste. The price... More

Good, clean accommodation in a beautiful environment. The owners love their surroundings and were always helpful and friendly. Their assistance ensured that we saw all the attractions the area - cheese farm, chocolate factory, castle, snowy mountain peaks, lovely walks... The rooms are basic but comfortable and have everything one needs and gorgeous views. All in all, good value for... More

Friendly manageress made for a promising start. Room as described, basic but adequate. However, dinner was very disappointing - menu thrown on to the table with no eye contact from a grumpy waitress, expensive indifferent wine, stale sauces to go with the Fondue Chinoise, and the 'fresh raspberries' turned out to be frozen when they arrived. Bed creaked horribly and... More

We would like to thanks the owners and all the personals of "Fleur de Lys" for their hostility! We had our wedding party on 16.01.10 there and everything was so well organised: delicious food, wonderful decorations and always very welcome and helpful personal. All the guests were amazed we managed to find such nice hotel with charm of old Gruyere.... More

We chose this hotel for myself, husband and teenage son, based on location - but what a find! I am a Coeliac - allergic to gluten in the form of wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt. So imagine my joy to discover that not only is owner/chef Michel Offner a highly regarded and decorated chef (check out their website), but that... More
