Nice hotel, staff was very kind and gentle, very good service in general. Only thing that was not so good is that the "mountain view" was not what one would think. Small Windows that look to the parking an You could barely see a mountain betweem buildings. Couldnt even see it from bed.

Location, Breakfast and Service are extraordinary!
Amazing experience with this hotel, the service is extraordinary! Once they saw that we have 2 kids they upgraded our room for free, we didn't ask them to do that! They are superiors 😊😊 We booked one night but since the location, breakfast and service are top, we stayed 3 nights at the end. Very recommended 👌

We had a great stay at this hotel. It is conveniently located to shops and dining. Parking was included and plentiful. Nice variety of food for breakfast. There is a lounge area for guests to enjoy and visit with other guests. The lounge area included a small library, pool table, fireplace....very nice option. The view of the mountains is spectacular. Our check-in/out was very easy and the staff was very pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.

I loved this hotel, it could be considered rustic but it is perfect for it's location.. it is older but very clean and well maintained and very convenient.
Staff were lovely, friendly but not imposing.. breakfast was good but there are other possibly better options in town.
Hotel is very convenient, you are right in town though make sure your GPS/Phone is charged as a large section of town is pedestrianized so it can be hard to figure out how to get to your hotel if driving!

2/10 Poor
Great location; dilapidated property
The only thing going well for this property is the location and the friendly staff at the front desk. We stayed in Room 35 from June 25-30 2025 and I couldn't wait to leave.
- We asked for a higher floor and a fan in the room while making the reservation; both of which were not available. Fan was provided from day 2 after having words with the receptionist on day 1.
- The floor in the toilet area was uneven and soft under my feet; I was greatful I didn't fall through! The toilet area had no sink; where am I supposed to wash my hands after? If I am to use the sink in the bathroom, then why bother separating the toilet from the entire bathroom?
- There were just 2 electrical outlets in the room; 1 in the bathroom and 1 behind the bedside table which was hard to get to. It was very difficult to charge our devices there.
- The tiles in the balcony were shaking under our feet; it was very easy to lose balance and fall there.
- The room was tiny ; there was insufficient space to store luggage, the street lights bothered us at night, breakfast was mediocre at best (no warm food; just processed food, bread, real honey and some whole fresh fruit).
We came from a fabulous stay at a 3 star hotel in Beckenried, Switzerland. This hotel should not be a 3 star by any stretch of imagination.

Phenomenal time in Chamonix!
We had no idea what to expect when we arrived in Chamonix. Checking in was a breeze thanks to “C” and she gave us the lay of the land (what restaurants to eat at, what amenities were available, and where we would catch the Aiguille du Midi Télépherique the next morning. Breakfast was very good and plentiful and our room had amazing views of the Aiguilles and Mont-Blanc was off to our right. Stunning! While some aspects of the room were getting showing some wear, the place was spacious and perfectly comfortable for two adults and a 17 & 14 year old. No issues whatsoever. Would go back there without question! La Calèche was an excellent dinner recommendation. So good we went back the next day. Merci Beaucoup!!

Even though the weather wasn’t great and we couldn’t take the cable car to Aiguille du Midi, we still really enjoyed our time in Chamonix. The staff were very friendly and even let us park our car early — free parking is a real bonus here! Our two-bedroom apartment was huge, fully equipped, and had a massive balcony with amazing mountain views. The hot breakfast was excellent. The only downsides were that the laundry machine was out of order and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect stay.

Mooie locatie en vriendelijk personeel
Vriendelijk en attent personeel. Het hotel doet wat verouderd aan, maar is wel sfeervol. De kamer zelf was aan de krappe kant, maar dat werd gecompenseerd door het uitzicht.
