Lovely room with balcony looking out over the park and lake. (We were on the 1st floor, try to book the 2nd floor for much better view, it was park rather than lake!) Good "blackout" curtains. Excellent new bathroom with drencher/hand shower and very nice hair/body wash. Very comfortable bed with duvet and extra pillows in the wardrobe. Lovely dining room with plenty of tables on two levels. Breakfast was huge. A bowl of fresh eggs with a machine full of boiling water with little wire baskets hanging round the side and eggtimers to get your perfect egg. Eggscellent! All sorts of sliced breads, a toaster and of course baguettes.There was a big bowl full of croissant and pain au chocolat, plates of cakes, honey, jams and marmalade, three choices of cereal, coffee, hot milk and hotwater, (for all sorts of bagged teas), and then came the pièce de résistance. The cold cabinet. Jugs of fruit juices, water, milk, pots of yoghurt & fruit, a huge bowl of fresh yoghurt, cheeses, butter, ham, salami, fresh fruit. Yum! There was a nice lounge on the ground floor with comfortable chairs, papers and magazines. From the hotel it's about a 10 minute walk into town where there is a square with many bars and a few eateries. (On your way there you will pass the La Roma pizzeria - highly recommended.) La Rhumerie has excellent cocktails and Brasserie du Grizzly has excellent food, seems to be open all the time and is a popular hangout. There's also a very handy Aldi five minutes away.

Not much really! There was no soap in the bathroom but we had our own. I would have liked a socket at both sides of the bed - for phone charging - there was only one but there were plenty of sockets elsewhere. Only breakfast was served which is fine, but it would have been nice to see a little bar in the lounge perhaps? My only real gripe was the toaster. It was very old and slow and only had two slots. To get toast nice and brown took more than one go. So queues were frequent. Please get a modern four slice model.

Rooms were nice and clean, very comfortable bed. Good parking and good location.

The restaurant was only open for breakfast and was an extra charge. The reception wasn’t open when we arrived at 7.40pm. Admittedly they did try to call me but I was on a motorcycle so didn’t get the call. I then looked at my emails and saw instructions to get the keys but we were looking around for 20 minutes. Not very clear.

We have terrace with a view to Lake Gérardmer and the location which is just across the park going to the Lake. It's also a 5 minutes walk to the city center. The breakfast with a variety of home made cakes and local produce such as the jam's and so much more. Room quite small but we have everything we need.

Location of the hotel was great, very central in Gerardmer. The staff was great, very helpful and accommodating.

The room was clean and comfortable, but really small. The electric radiator in the bathroom did not work.

excellent and copious breakfast, nice fresh room, excellent bathroom, had a lift and helpful staff lovely,

there was no furniture to keep our effects in, so all had to stay in suitcase but this is due to the fact that the room was quite small.

The view was amazing, a nice pool and a really pleasant rain douche. Everything was nearby so we walked everywhere.

There was no fridge inside the room so when we went out for a long walk we could not store our drink and food cold.

Closeness to center, brand new rooms, excellent air con and lovely bathrooms, excellent breakfast with lots of local specialities

Nothing really

The Datcha is very quirky. Nicely furnished and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen and enough space for us.

You could hear the neighbours

Fantastic Location, Nice clean and modern rooms, authentic service

Breakfast not included, no airco in standard rooms

Nice location close to lake, over the street and through small park to walk to reach the lakeside. Good breakfast and comfortable seating with large windows in direction lake in the breakfast room.

Room to the back was very quiet and had small balcony, but the backyard could be improved to have nicer view from the balcony.
