Guest Reviews
- Charlotte (7/5): -
- Barbara (9/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt - Nettes altes Gebäude in schöner Lage. Zimmer hatte zu zwei Seiten Fenster. Toller Blick
- Cournot (8/5): - Le principe de la chambre familiale
- Alice (10/5): Great cost-benefit in Chamonix - The staff were extremely friendly and gave us all the necessary information. The room had a beautiful view straight to the mountains, with a great cleaning and a great bed to rest after walking a lot through Chamonix. One thing worth mentioning is that the hotel is not extremely close to the Aiguille du Midi, so you have to walk a little or take a bus. But that's not a bad thing because the view on this path is wonderful!

- Sandra (8/5): Accueil agréable - L’accueil est agréable et l’ensemble de l’établissement est propre et bien tenu. Le parking gratuit est un vrai avantage et facilite vraiment le séjour.
Le petit déjeuner est bon, avec un choix suffisant pour bien commencer la journée. La chambre est certes un peu petite pour une occupation à deux personnes, mais elle est propre, confortable et fonctionnelle.
Un bon rapport qualité-prix, que je recommande sans hésiter.

- christophe (8/5): dans l'ensemble très bien - Télé un peu petite et coussin trop mou.
- Juliette (8/5): Un hôtel charmant - Personnel très agréable et gentil !
Petit déjeuner sympa.
Hôtel charmant dans un style montagne comme on le souhaitait. L'hôtel est un peu à l'ancienne par exemple la télé la douche etc, il faut apprécier mais ça ne nous a pas dérangés au contraire.
Par contre l'auberge de jeunesse à côté fait énormément de bruit jusque tard mais bon ce n'est pas de la faute de l'hôtel...
- Magdalena (9/5): -
- Chris (8/5): I would recommend - Location looking across to Mont Blanc from my room. Free parking. No air conditioning
- Aigars (10/5): - It’s a great location - very close to the city centre but far enough to hear no noise. The breakfast buffet was also really nice. The younger lady from the staff was super friendly and kind and while the other elderly lady was nice as well, but when I kept asking for coffee refills while having breakfast she made me feel as if those coffees are coming out of her pocket and also when she was serving the breakfast there was a shortage of food and some people didn’t even get their promised breakfast, but I don’t know who’s responsible for that.
- Antti (10/5): - Loistava sijainti, ystävällinen henkilökunta, ehkä paras hinta-laatusuhde Chamonixissa.
- Jackson (10/5): -
- Sultan (10/5): - beautiful hotel to stay! very simple, but splendid! the location is really good, 5 minutes to the train station! there are cafes and pubs near! thank you!
- Adrien (10/5): Bon hôtel !! - L'âme de l'hôtel et la sympathie du personnel Il est assez éloigné du centre de Chamonix et la présence de la départementale rend dangereux la marche sur les côtés mais ce n'est pas de la faute de l'hôtel !
- Laurent (10/5): - Un grand merci pour le plateau petit déjeuner offert pour mon départ très tôt.
Cela m'a touché, ce genre de geste est très rare!

- Staebler (9/5): -
- Renaud (8/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): - Ambiance et la vue
- Adrian (1/5): Noroc ca nu am prea stat prin camera. - NIMIC!!! Poate singurul lucru pozitiv e parcarea free si bonusul primit de la receptie si anume, cate un card pentru transport gratuit cu trenul care strabate localitatea. TOTUL! Incepand de la curatenie care lasa de dorit, mobilier invechit, lipsa unui frigider care e indispensabil in anul 2025,
pretul exagerat de mare pentru ce ofera.
In ultimii 20 de ani nu am mai stat intr-o locatie atat de invechita si calatorim anual si de 3-4 ori. Am simtit ca m-am intors undeva in anii '75.
- Sofia (10/5): - Quiet, clean, comfortable to sleep, nice people
- Jakub (8/5): - Świetna lokalizacja koło przystanku autobusowego i szlaków turystycznych. Smaczne śniadania i komunikatywna obsługa.
- Ueli (9/5): Ideale Basis für ein paar Tage Klettern in Chamonix und Umgebung! - Die majestätische Sicht vom Zimmer-Balkon zum Mont-Blanc!
- Julien (9/5): -
- Hakan (10/5): -
- Richard (6/5): -
- Noelle (9/5): Très bon séjour - Accueil très chaleureux, bon petit déjeuner Pas de prise dans la salle de bain
- Andy (7/5): Perfect for what we needed - Good old fashioned value for money in a expensive valley, Nothing for price
- Patrick (10/5): Nuit calme et agréable - Propreté des chambres
