Self-Catering Accommodations in Portalban- Dessous

Clean. Air conditioning was perfect during this heat wave.

Location was amazing! Apartment was beautiful and well equipped.

We stayed at the Au Chambres du Banneret in Jan 2025 for 1 night as part of our road trip through Switzerland. The accommodation is basically a chambre d'hotes with key self-service (you receive the details via whatapp, there is a key board in the second floor, code for opening the key board and how to release the key for the room are provided in a WhatsApp message). We booked the accommodation spontaneously, basically 1 hour before our arrival. Despite this short notice we received the message with all the details within 40mins. The building seems to be a former guest house, with a bar in the basement, an (excellent) restaurant in the first floor, and several individual rooms in the 2nd and 3rd floor. The bar, the restaurant and the chambre d'hotes are completely separate, so do not bother asking there in case you have a question or need help, instead you have to send a message via whatsapp. But replies are very fast. The rooms are nicely renovated. Not big but functional and nice style (our room even had an old medieval mural at the wall protected by a glass plate! very nice!). Despite the small size the room even had a small cooking corner with a sink, cooking plate, microwave, tea boiler and a capsule coffee machine. The accommodation is very central in the downtown pedestrian zone: the Chateau, restaurants, the lake side are all in easy walking distance. No parking or access by car. Hint: we parked in rue de l'Evole. The blue parking zone starts from the corner Rue de l'Oriette (free parking in the night). Beware: As it is an old building the accommodation has no lift, instead you have carry your luggage up the small stairs, but absolutely ok if you travel light or have no problems with getting your luggage up. As a positive surprise: at least when we traveled- we received from the accommodation the Neuchâtel Tourist card, which gives free access to museums and public transport!

The house is spacious and comfortable, with well equipped open-plan kitchen/living area on the ground floor and 4 bedrooms upstairs. It also has a large garden which is a great bonus. The house is located in a quit and calm Swiss village in a picturesque region with many tourist's attractions. The host was very friendly and always prompt in replying to our requests. We really enjoyed our stay in the house.

Nice place where we felt completely at home, surrounded by beautiful decor, complimentary food, and all the little necessities you wouldn’t normally expect in a rental property — even a fondue pot was available! Pascal and his son were very friendly, gave us great advice on what to see in the area, and even showed us their chickens and let us feed them.
