    This is a pleasant and charming hotel in La Fouly. While the exterior is classic, the rooms look refurbished and have a modern feel. Bed was comfortable and room had a balcony with a view of the mountains. The dinner was also quite decent.

    The best stay on the TMB, spacious clean room with a balcony and even a hairdryer, people working there were very friendly and helped us out. Best thing was the drying room, which dried out our wet boots. Dinner was tasty and nutritious, breakfast had a lot of variety too.

    Greatly located stay at TMB allowed me to relax after many days of hiking. The service was nice and friendly, I stayed in the dorm room which was spacious and I had a great sleep. Dinner was really tasty, soup, then chicken with rice, ice cream. Breakfast was probably the best on TMB so far. Overall I am happy. Secret tip: If the toilets or showers are busy, take the lift to -2, you will be alone there.

    BEWARE if you are staying in the dorms, you will be treated like a second-class citizen. The pros to this place are its location right on the TMB, the dorms were only for 5 people, so not too much noise, and it was nice to take a hot shower for more than 3-4 minutes (we had just come from the higher alpine refuges with limited water supply). Unfortunately the downside to this location far outweighed the good. The first aspect that was a bit off-putting was that the people in private rooms got to sit down to dinner half an hour before the people in dorms. We hadn’t experienced this at any of the 7 other places we had stayed on the TMB. Everywhere else we all are together, regardless of room type, which cultivated a family-style feeling. Edelweiss felt very segregated. Apart from the segregation, the owner was extremely aggressive and rude. The breakfast options were more varied than the simple bread and jam we were used to on this trip, so I was very excited and took two small rolls, two slices of ham, two slices of cheese, some tomato, and some cucumber. I ate about half the food and found myself full, so I put the rest together to take with me as to not waste it. On my way out of the dining area, the owner stopped me very abruptly and asked me to pay extra for the small amount of food I hadn’t been able to finish. I explained I was full and didn’t want to be wasteful and he insinuated I was lying to him, saying “well, a lot of people say that.” While I understand that there may be people doing this trek who take advantage of the breakfast bar, I had barely eaten any food and don’t think that harassing your guests is the solution to that problem. I told him I didn’t need the food as we had plenty for that day and offered to leave it. It was then that he got very aggressive and said extremely rudely, “what?? You don’t want to pay?” After I reiterated that I really didn’t need it and was just trying not to waste, he rolled his eyes and said, “fine, you can leave it on the table.” I was really quite shaken by this experience and haven’t ever been so poorly treated in any of my travels. I don’t think the comfort of this location is worth the terrible treatment.

    Really nice! Great dinner and breakfast. TV had several English channels. Fantastic view from the rooms. The dining room acoustic ceiling kept the sound level nice

    This is an auberge with great views of the Swiss Alps and located within the trail, close to shops and restaurants. They have rooms for 10 pax or 3 pax but with shared bathrooms and toilets - not very convenient but this is what you pay for. You leave your hiking boots and hiking poles in a room adjacent to the hotel before going in to register. What I loved about this is that your boots are aerated in the machine and smell better before you continue with your hike. The meals are pretty basic and minimalist. For breakfast if you want eggs, you can order at an extra fee.

    Our group of 4 was in the basement but it was kind of nice being separated from the larger group. Clean shower and toilet. The food was pretty good.
