La Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix

Great location

Great breakfast 👍

Great location, excellent on site activities with a pool, saunas, volleyball, trampolines and 3 bars. Its a very busy vibrant hotel.

Rooms are really very small; for two people, no shelves to put clothing, no hooks to hang climbing gears, not even one chair to sit. But the window view of Mont Blanc charming. Nice bar and lounging area, comfortable outdoor space and great beautiful view of Mont Blanc massif

Stayed at this hotel for a family trip to Chamonix. Unfortunately, the hotel is not child friendly. If you are taking your children there, make sure you book rooms for them in advance as if they are adults, otherwise you could be in for a nasty price shock at check-in. For example, they won’t allow a young child in a double room with her parents. You would need a triple room. If you have 2 adults and 2 young kids, a triple room is not sufficient according to their unwritten rule, so you will need to pay for a quadruple room or two double rooms. The performances and amenities are mostly intended for adults. There is an age limit of 16 for swimming pool and spa. Lots of adults walking around the hotel in white towels. When it comes to rooms, they are typical of a hotel room, except for the following: 1. Very poor lighting to the point I couldn’t do packing at night. 2. No AC and it can get hot and humid in the summer. 3. No privacy between shower and sink with only a transparent glass wall between them (another poor choice for a family with kids). Upon arrival, the slippers provided didn’t look clean. The sink was not clean either with a stain on the side. On the positive side, this hotel has a nice view of the mountains and can be great for adults and night life. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was single or had no kids in company. It’s relatively quiet and away from the busiest part of town center.

Unique hotel where modern decor meets historic building just up hill from town and easy walk to restaurants. IMO the modern decor doesn’t work but love location and mtn views were stunning. Our 2 bdrm suit was spacious and clean and comfortable. Staff was great except for the first woman at check in who was extremely rude. Another staff member took over for her and apologized but it was shockingly poor behavior for customer service industry. Pool was quite nice but not impressed by breakfast buffet.

Stayed for four days in July. The breakfast, bar and staff are great. Reception is very helpful. The views are fabulous. The room was very hot at night as there is no air conditioning and I thought the way to the pool via the shower area was probably a bit risky regards slips on the wet floor. The hotel is in a perfect location and overall very nice and I’d stay here again for sure.

great place

Great views and amazing breakfast. Hotel was a nightclub at night. Impossible to sleep. Reception desk wasn’t too helpful on things to do. Location of hotel was good too.

Great location, 5 minute walk from Chamonix’s lively dining and shopping area. Helpful staff available 24 hours. Comfortable beds. Great views.
