Hotel Communal is perfectly suited to explore the Champery area for MTB touring, in the center of Val d'Illiez very near to the train station. Take e. g. the pathway through Champoussin to Pointe de Moissette (2300m) - Cheese farm "Chez Gaby" a perfect luch stop in Champoussin. And home e. g. through Touvassiere (NOT Lac Vert!) and Morgins. Or the wonderful more shadowy forest tour to Barme/Cantine de Barmaz ... this is a secluded high valley with many further possibilities. The hotel people very friendly, the rooms very nice and clean, the breakfast rich and with great local products. The hotel has a first class gourmet restaurant, and there is a nice more simple village bistro on the other side of the village court.

Great MTB weekend in a wonderful place

I really could not have wished for more from my last dining experience at Hotel Communal.
Despite these challenging times for the hospitality industry, their restaurant delivers a high quality of locally sourced ingredients transformed into beautifully styled and delicious dishes.
The team here pair this with an exciting wine list which obviously comes from a real passion for great wine.
We were a difficult group, wanting a tasting menu while having several different dietary requirements at the table. Despite this we never felt like a burden, the chefs and the front of house team could not have been more flexible.

Between the talented chefs and the incredible hosts they managed to create an evening for our table that really won't be forgotten. An absolute treat of a restaurant and a true gem of Valais.

Impressive food, personal service

we had dinner at the Hotel Communal in Val d'illiez last week.
We were five people.
We waited 45 minutes to be served and the staff stood around talking to eachother.
The food was mediocre for the price we paid.
The next day we went to the petrol station cum kiosque cum coffee shop in Val d'illiez.
The food was excellent and not expensive.

long wait for dinner

Our B&B host recommended Hotel Communal for dinner during our stay.  The location of the restaurant was wonderful, right in the center of the village with a superb view of the mountains.   There was some confusion about our reservation but we were finally given a table which was personally set by the owner Per-Henrik, a very friendly gentleman who also offered us tasting of various wines before we made our choice and helped us decide on our food.  The two appetizers, Boulette de Raclette (cheese ball) and Crispy Asparagus (with a parmesan sauce) were perfectly prepared and just delicious!  Unfortunately the great start might have set my expectation too high.  For main course, we had Osso Bucco and Tuite meuniere (fresh trout from the valley).  The Osso Bucco was good, but a bit on the tough side.  The trout was smothered by the sauce which was heavy and congealed over the fish.  It was a pity.  Without the sauce, the trout, fresh and tender, would have been excellent.  The vegetables were al dente, very nicely done.  The wines recommended by the owner were very good.   In spite of the disappointing main courses, we enjoyed the evening.  Even good restaurants have glitches from time to time.  Next time we are in the area, we would try it again.  

Nearly Great Restaurant

We stayed for one week at the hotel. The room was lovely and clean. The bathroom was similar to a portacabin but it was complete and functional. (I don't know why I didn't think of it at my own home!!!) anyway, a great idea and perfect for the job.  

When coming down for breakfast we were warmly greeted by the lady in the restaurant who was very gracious and kind, Unfortunately she didn't, speak English, but then that was my fault for not learning French! But communication was not a problem,... My partner is French! 

Food in the restaurant was as good as they advertise! "Melt in the mouth food!" The proprietor was very charming and interesting to talk to and made sure we had everything we needed. 

In all, they all made our stay very welcome and we would definitely recommend them again.

Wonderful stay, Wonderful people!

Great accommodation. Clean. Staff friendly. I adored just sitting at my window looking out, especially at the steeple. Caro Diem. Seize the day. Great restaurant close by. I would love to go back in winter. 

Just Beautiful 

We were made to feel welcome at the Hotel Communal and the staff are some of the friendliest I have experienced anywhere. The staff went out of their way to help us and make us feel comfortable. 

It requires an exciting car ride, going uphill for about half an hour to reach the hotel. Hence, the location of the hotel is spectacular.The landscape characterized by lush greenery and mountains is perfect for a quiet holiday.

Beautiful location and hospitable and friendly staff

We had a wonderful stay at Le Communal in Val d'Illiez in early June. The hotel is comfortable, clean, and quaint, as one would hope in a mountain village sitting just below the Dents du Midi. What stood out was the exceptionally warm hospitality of the staff and owner, Mr. Mansson, as well as the superb kitchen of the Communal's restaurant. We enjoyed two meals there, including hearty lunch and a lovely dinner of local specialties (sausages, trout) and several dishes with a more mediterranean flair. You'll want to take advantage of Mr. Mansson's deep enology expertise. Based on his recommendation, we had a phenomenal Valais wine, very reasonably priced.
