Avoid - I have stayed in a variety of places in the alps ranging from the cheapest small rooms & hostels through to 4/5 star as I got a little bit older. I never expect perfection but do expect value for the money I pay. Despite prices in chamonix being expensive in context, the money for this hotel does not match the service & I will never return. This is despite breakfast being good and a great view of the mountains. On check in we were given initially the smallest possible room despite paying for a larger one. Eventually we were offered an upgrade after complaining. I have seen this tactic many times in hotels trying to give the worst room to clients who arrive late evening & look happiest & least likely to complain. There were many empty rooms in the hotel and no need to do this to us. The spa: It isn’t a spa, just a sauna and hot tub. 20 euros per person per night for the spa for hotel guests is false advertising. No other hotel does this. For hotel customers it should be free. The hotel restaurant & bar is also far too expensive and many restaurants in chamonix town are cheaper. To give example, most bottles of wine are over 50 euros. A Main course is mostly over 40 euros. A vodka & coke 19 euros (!). These extortionate prices forced us onto the bus every evening where we ironically found far better value at even premium restaurants in chamonix town.
