Les Mazots du Clos

My recent experience at the hotel LE MAZOTS DU CLOS, located in Villar-sur-Ollon, canton of Vaud, Switzerland, was unfortunately quite disappointing. I have been a frequent visitor to this town since 2021, traveling regularly over the past four years. However, during my latest visit in May 2025, I had to choose this hotel because many of my usual accommodations in the area were closed due to the off-season. My expectations were high, based on the photographs and descriptions of the hotel available on platforms like Booking.com. However, the reality fell significantly short of what was depicted. The hotel is small, with about ten to twelve rooms. The room we were assigned appeared to be a later addition to the original building, lacking views of the Alps, and was instead facing the back and situated directly above the kitchen. This resulted in constant noise and strong odors both when exiting the room and when opening the windows. The room had poor sound insulation and lacked adequate mechanisms to block morning sunlight, making restful sleep difficult. Another negative aspect was the pool, which was empty and under maintenance during our stay, eliminating one of the main reasons I had selected this hotel. Additionally, the spa was disappointing—poorly maintained, unattended, and accumulating trash. Regarding the restaurant, despite its supposed prestige, the value for money was disappointing. The breakfast was particularly poor: service was slow, the coffee mediocre (prepared using a standard Nespresso machine), and we even saw frozen croissants being taken out of the freezer for immediate baking. Initially, we weren’t offered a menu; instead, toast and fruit were brought directly without request. Additionally, we noticed some staff members who did not adhere to basic food safety standards, wearing excessive jewelry and having excessively long fingernails. The open kitchen caused food odors to permeate our clothing.

Very nice place, charming, great location. Very nice staff. Clean, great spa. Romantic. Place is top!

Honestly, the new kitchen. It used to be great and now it’s fancy French gastronomic cuisine. I know many would like it. Not us. The dinner, the brunch left us not satisfied. The breakfast however would have been good I think.

people were great. on site club was amazing. jazz one nite, comedy show the next and then a world class dj a third nite. pleasant 8 minute walk to the ski lift. and really enjoyed the personalized service at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

we are very picky but honestly it was a great place. maybe they could do a better job shoveling the snow from the sidewalks on the property, it did get slippery.

chalet like atmosphere spa is perfect after a ski day
