A business assignment brought me to Bulle numerous times until the end of last year. Having tried many hotels there, I finally selected the Cheval Blanc, for several reasons: - Great location, in the heart of the city - Nice and efficient staff - Cool room (yes, always the same for me :-)) - Affordable price - Espresso machine in the room Any drawback? May-be the unusual check-in when arriving after 19:30. But once used to it (prepaid, then digibox), it is fine. And also, if you stay more than 2 nights, the housekeeping is no more daily. Other than that, I enjoyed the place, as I hope you'll do.

The outside of the hotel is nothing special, it's actually rather hard to find by car. However it's located right next to the train station with easy connections to the nearby major cities Lausanne and Fribourg. The decoration is modern and fresh. It's located at a mall with a couple of restaurants. The room was comfortable. There is big shower. Loved it. The bed is comfortable. However, the TV was at an ackward angle to watch TV from both bed or sofa. Weird. Little note on cleanliness: if you use dark doors, make sure they are immaculately clean... The breakfast was just ok. No special attention is given to intolerances (no glutenfree bread, only soy milk at special request, no lactose free products otherwise). It's not a cheap hotel. Very convenient is the underground parking (at 20,- CHF per night).
I was looking on a booking site for a hotel that has free parking. That's why I booked at this hotel. But despite that they charged me to pay for parking. They also charged for breakfast separately, without asking us if we were interested in breakfast. Thus a reservation of 220 francs for 2 nights suddenly became 270 francs. The hotel is under renovation. They are building more rooms. There were scaffolding in front of my room. Not a pleasant thing
