Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
The hotel and its restaurant are very well kept inside. On the other hand, it is a pity that the outside is neglected. Crazy herbs run at the foot of the facade. Nettles make their way between the steps of the entrance staircase. In addition, the north side of the building (road side) offers a mundane view of medium mountains while the south side offers a splendid view of the Meije massif. It is obvious that travelers who are full of deserved praise on the magnificent view of the mountain, benefited from a room on the south side. My bill stated that my room was north. I now understand the importance of this precision. My car parked on the spur in the space between the road and the north side. On arrival, the young lady who received me accompanied me to the foot of the elevator that serves the floors. Later, an older lady saw me dragging my suitcase and offered to help. The next morning I was also helped to carry my luggage to the car. The room and shower room toilet give all satisfaction. The small desk table also carries a kettle and soluble coffee pods. WIFI is password protected but it is lazy and there is a sign indicating that the reception is better in the meeting room. However, the Orange network was perfect for connecting my computer. There are 2 garbage cans (office and shower room). The outlets are well arranged in front of the desk (2 outlets) and on each side of the headboard. The dinner was tasty and the table service was efficient. I particularly liked the veal rice puff with morels. Everything was missing from the breakfast buffet. Note the good cheeses of the country.

Good hotel with very welcoming staff. Our room was small (this was announced to us on the phone) but we could use the various places on the ground floor and the terrace. Breakfasts and restaurant meals are good. We had a very pleasant stay there, my wife and I.

Sabrina and David welcomed us in the middle of an overnight snowfall, which prevented us from going any further. And thank goodness! It was so good that we decided to spend two days there! Everything was perfect, the welcome, the food, the comfort. The team was keen to help us to the point of driving us to the neighboring village to equip us because our car could not drive on the snowy roads. The food was fantastic, the breakfast complete and generous, the bed very comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean, and as a bonus a magnificent view of the mountains! We recommend for a relaxing stay surrounded by the beauty of nature!

Family hotel that we have known for many years. The staff is always friendly and ready to meet every need. The rooms on the Meige side have a balcony which allows you to enjoy the view of the mountain and the village. The meals are excellent and the breakfast is generous, including homemade jams.

We spent a week half board with our 5 year old son at the Pension le Faranchin and we are delighted. We were looking for a comfortable and professional place, so we could advise ourselves with confidence. Beyond our expectations, the whole team was warm and brought us all the necessary information for our adventure along the Romansh according to our expectations of the day (landscape, distance, difficulty, etc.). We also had the possibility to call the Pension in case of trajectory doubt during our hikes. For the discovery of our son's mountain, we could not hope for better. He loved going on an adventure following a map, discovering the lakes, collecting treasures (pebbles, marmot hair, etc), counting the number of marmots, seeing the landscape from the cable car, browsing the ice cave! Many paths are suitable for a young child. There are also sublime landscapes accessible directly by car. We highly recommend coming with your family to Pension Faranchin which offers comfort, a warm welcome and very good walking directions.

Thank you to the entire Faranchin team! Lots of human warmth, a good table, a comfortable room, refined common areas, a majestic landscape. The staff is partly renewed every year, without changing the atmosphere imbued with humor and humanism of the owners. A relaxing and inspiring stay.

Inn perfectly held and impeccable cleanliness! Modern bathroom with spacious shower cabin and very well equipped. Flawless bedding. Excellent dinner with choice. Only the piece of lamb from the Alps was very chic and fell badly! This unfortunately justifies 4 stars and not 5.

"I think it doesn't matter, views were beautiful on both sides. We had 2 rooms on the back, they might be more quiet due to mainroad on the front."
