Guest Reviews

• Anne-Laure (9/5): -
• Marianne (10/5): A unique place to stay with so much history - We were fascinated by the history of the house and the beautifully preserved living spaces. The exhibits of the early watchmakers tools and general information were very interesting. Nothing
• christina (10/5): Un moment suspendu dans le temps - La déco, l’ambiance… tout Rien
• Eléonore (10/5): - The house is beautiful and the staff very welcoming. The beds were very confortable and the bathroom clean. Breakfast was probably one of the best I've ever had! We could hear the church bells a little but it was quite faint and it didn't disturb our sleep at all.
• susi (9/5): - Toll eingerichtetes Haus, als Zeitzeuge - mit Liebe zum Detail und Wissenswertem zur Uhrenmacherei. Gilt auch für das Zimmer. Küche und Wohnzimmer zur freien Benützung war toll. Tee und Kaffee ebenfalls zur freien Verfügung ist schöner Zusatzpunkt. Badezimmer grosszügig und nur mit einem weiteren Zimmer zu teilen. Sicherer Ort im Erdgeschoss des Hauses, um das Fahrrad zu verstauen. Recht steile und enge Treppe zu den Zimmern. Fenster im Zimmer zum Kirchturm: Glockenschläge während der ganzen Nacht.
• luc (10/5): - Séjour parfait, lieu très agréable, chambre spacieuse, excellent accueil et superbe petit-déjeuner.
• Nathalie (8/5): -

• Beatrice (10/5): C’était un petit séjour plongée dans l’histoire de l’horlogerie - Cet endroit fabuleux. Toute la maison est comme un musée et on se sent transporter au 19ème siècle sans devoir renoncer au confort actuel. La maison se trouve dans la partie historique du Locle et elle est aussi proche de la gare. La situation est calme, la chambre lumineuse et ensoleillée. Nous avons séjourné â Pâques. Une corbeille garnie de lapins et œufs en chocolats était déposé à notre attention. La cuisine est accessible aux hôtes pour boire quelque chose ou prendre un café ou thé. C’est aussi dans cette cuisine un excellent petit déjeuner était déposé pour nous. Rien
• Bachmann (10/5): - Tout était clair et bien préparé. Lieu atypique. Une petite surprise nous attendait pour Pâques dans la chambre. Mes enfants ont adorés le bain dans la salle de bain. La salle à manger et la cuisine au premier étage, c'était merveilleux.Merci.

• liliane (9/5): Une jolie découverte - Son atmosphère, son emplacement.le coin cuisine. Le parkage en zone bleue.
• Melody (10/5): -
• Caroline (7/5): - chambre propre dans l'ensemble et cadre calme La serviette pour s'essuyer les mains avait une forte odeur de renfermé et le petit dejeuner n'a malheureusement pas été servi a 7h, j'imagine a cause des conditions hivernales.

• Nicolas (9/5): -
• Sebastian (10/5): - - Super Lage, super schönes Haus. Das Klavier im Wohnzimmer hat bei mir sehr viel Freude erweckt (das Pedal und die E-Taste müsste man aber reparieren). Ich habe es genossen, wieder einmal selber zu kochen. -
• Christoph (10/5): -
• Mélina (9/5): Très agréable nuit, merci 💗 - Chouette ambiance pour la chambre et l'hôtel en général (on dirait un petit musée 😍) Très calme et apaisant Communication rapide en cas de question Le pain du petit déjeuner n'était pas tout-à-fait décongeler....je sais que la situation était pas idéal mais les petits pains étaient glacés . Heureusement les plus gros pains étaient bons et le reste très bien. Je n'ai rien d'autres à dire💝
• Mélanie (8/5): Dépaysement - Le lieu exceptionnel. La compréhension du personnel et leur serviabilité

• Brigitt (10/5): Wunderbar! - Das Maison DuBois ist fast ein Museum und dieser Stil wird konsequent eingehalten. Flexibles Einchecken Alles war sehr gut.
• Sheldon (10/5): -

• Jessica (10/5): - La casa Nulla
• Déborah (9/5): - -très propre -central -bon accueil pour notre chien Rien, tout était parfait.
• Jonathan (10/5): -
• Olesea (9/5): - It was very quiet , clean and felt like back in the 17th century with a rich watch history . The breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious . I expected some bottles of water
• Peter (8/5): -
• Ursula (9/5): -
• Lali (10/5): - Looks like a museum, full of charm and character. The place is very clean and well kept. The café on the ground floor serves a nice breakfast, and the location is excellent — perfect for exploring the area. It can get a bit hot in summer since there’s only a fan, but overall it’s a lovely place to stay.
• Laurent (9/5): -
• Pierre-Yves (10/5): - Maison pleine de charme, en plein centre ville. Chambres tres personnalisees et differentes les unes des autres. Personnel charmant et communication digitale au top. Quant au petit-dejeuner, il vaut le detour a lui tout seul !
• Rose (10/5): - Nous connaissons la maison du bois et ne sommes jamais déçus. C est une maison historique.
• Claudia (10/5): -
• Isabelle (10/5): Le Locle ist ein Zeitzeuge der Uhrenindustrie. - Le Locle und das Maison du bois haben mich entzückt. Klein, charmant und kulturell interessant (ich habe gleich zwei Museen besucht).
• René (10/5): - Sehr schöne historische Unterkunft. Der Zugang mit dem Fahrrad war einfach. Sehr netter Kontakt mit der Vermieterin. Sie hat uns noch gute Restaurants zum Essen mit auf den Weg gegeben. Gerne wieder.
• Isabel (9/5): -
• Chantal (10/5): - Es war ein einmaliges Erlebnis! Ganz toll!
• Sofie (10/5): -
• Deborah (9/5): - I love Maison DuBois, this is the second time I have stayed there and despite the need to carry my luggage up and down three flights of stairs, I have been very happy there both times. My room is quiet and dark so I sleep very well; the bed is very comfortable and the owner Gary extremely accommodating in promptly providing information and assistance, not to mention my preferred firm pillows. I hope to return next year! I would prefer not to have to navigate three flights of stairs with my luggage, but it doesn't stop me from coming back!
• Jumphy (9/5): Do you like watchmaking - stay is a must! - OK. It's a room with shared bathroom. I was the only person in the whole house so it was not really a problem. BUT it's a very old house that belonged to the oldest watchmaking family in the area. DuBois family - just google it! And you can sleep in their house. It's even mentioned in city tour guide! How often do you have chance to sleep in such setup? It has even a room with old archives and watchmaking tools you can have a look through glass door. I could see Tissot factory across the valey from my window :-) Well we had some troubles communicate in english with the stuff but not a real issue. After all the problem is my French :-)
• Gediminas (6/5): Brangus malonumas už vidutinę kokybę - Pačiame miestelio centre, istoriniame name įsikūręs viešbutis. Pilnas įdomių senovinių daiktų, portretų ir leidinių. Nuostabu, jog galima dykai atsigerti skanios arbatos ir kavos bei nebrangiai nusipirkti saldumynų. Labai maža dušo kabina, kurioje sunku apsisukti ir miniatiūrinė kriauklė, kurioje iš viso neįmanoma nusiprausti. Keista tikrai matyti tokius sprendinius, kadangi vonioje/koridoriuje (patenkama tiesiai įeinant į numerį) vietos daugiau nei reikia, norint įmontuoti svečiams patogias dušo kabinas ir kriaukles. Nustebino tai jog viešbutis neteikia pusryčių sekmadienį ir pirmadienį, o juos nusipirkus turi eiti į kitą viešbutį už 200 metrų. Neteko niekur dar to patirti pasaulyje. Šiaip tai labai nepatogu ir pusryčiai labai silpni. Jokių daržovių, jokio karšto patiekalo (omletas, kiaušinienė, dešrelės ir t.t.), grynai šveicariški nuobodūs pusryčiai su dvejų rūšių sūriu ir batonu.
• Magali (9/5): Au top - Petit déjeuner fabuleux
• Mirek (9/5): Übernachten in einem Geschichtshaus der ältesten Schweizer Uhrenfabrik - Es war eine Überraschung für uns. Ein ehrenwertes Haus wo seit 300 Jahren / 7 Familiengenerationen Uhren produziert wurden. Bei DuBois&Fils (DBF) handelt es sich um die älteste Schweizer Uhrenfabrik. Und in diesem Hause, mit teils Originalmöbeln und Arbeitsräumen sowie einer sanften Modernisierung darf man übernachten! Kein 4-Stern Hotel, jedoch eine Aura der Geschichte - und das ist des Preises Wert.
• Sophie (10/5): Revenir - Son histoire
• Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laurent (9/5): Superb -
• Joel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edoardo (8/5): Very good -
• Guilherme (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christina (10/5): a very special stay in a wonderful house full of history - The central location, the type and stile of accommodation which is like a museum We were alone in the house and as we were traveling by bicycle it was convenient that we could take them into the house for safety
• Esther (5/5): Very mediocre. I would not stay there again - The bed was comfortable The building is old and it was very noisy You could hear even thru the walls and the ceiling
• Deborah (8/5): I thoroughly enjoyed it, Le Locle is really interesting and the Maison was very comfortable. - The location was great, within easy walking distance of restaurants and coffee shops, the railway station and the main bus stop. Le Locle has great street art and a map showing its location, most within easy walking distance of Maison DuBois. My room faced away from the church across the road, I sleep lightly but did not hear the church bells which ring every 15 minutes at all. I enjoyed the train and bus ride each day down to the Neuchatel lakeside, the scenery is beautiful and the trip didn't take long. The Restaurant Le Moka a few doors down from Maison was a real find, great food reasonably priced; the Cafe du Marche in the town centre was good for coffee each morning. It's a town, and the locals are friendly. There was nothing I disliked but I would have appreciated a bit more information, in English, about the room and its facilities, and Le Locle, but the Tourist Information office in the Town Hall was very helpful when I eventually found it. The fact there was no air conditioning in my room was easily overcome by leaving the windows open and the shutters closed, it's a quiet town. And being able to access to the fridge in the kitchen on the floor below was good.
• Anat (10/5): Exceptional - Charming room in a charming time capsule, tasteful, and very comfortable. Great bed and fun shower. Our host could help us with parking and we had a realy nice breakfast at a venue nearby. We loved it!
• Mark (10/5): An excellent stay because I was able to confirm a family link with the owner who came to meet me. - The location and size of the room were excellent. Unfortunately the breakfast area was closed but arrangements were made to use a hotel nearby.
