Location - 15 minutes away from Chamonix- Mont Blanc; 1 1/2 hour from Geneva Airport; there is supermarket 5 minutes away from the hotel, bus stop is 2 minutes walk; they will give you Free Bus Card upon check in Room - includes basic amenities; the hotel is very new; clean bathroom and we got a balcony facing the street; they dont have AC so it must be very hot on Summer Food -we tried their Italian restaurant for 2 consecutive dinner - there's not much restaurant in the area. Food was great and generous portion and not that pricey. We tried their Pasta, Pizza, Burger. Breakfast - the booking includes breakfast - wide selection - eggs, bacon, cold cuts, bread, cheese, and lots more. Worth to have to start the day!

Good size room to accommodate two suitcases and two backpacks. Very comfortable bed and pillows plus a great rain head shower. Terrific balcony overlooking the Alps. Very friendly and helpful staff, plus good English spoken. Good dinner and breakfast available. Wifi reception quite poor. Quite room and quiet lounge available on each floor - with a bookcase to swap books? Ideal place to have as a base if you prefer multiple day walks.

This is a fantastic hotel. The moment you are welcomed in you get a sense of the care people have taken with building this hotel. Everything optimizes the use of space well, is practical, and very nicely laid out. The rooms themselves are very unique and allow for privacy (lower and top levels) and have tons of storage space. Immaculately clean, with all soaps, gels, and hairdryer. Came with 3 bottles of complimentary water. No mini fridge or microwave in these rooms. The communal area and lobby are really set for you to relax and enjoy your time. Oh yeah they have an arcade machine in lobby you can play for free with a friend. When we were stranded for the night and needed to wait at the hotel until 3am for a taxi, the front desk offered a reduced rate for us, gave us blankets to keep warm, toothbrushes, and offered for us to use the shower room. BREAKFAST: This was 13 euros—there are not many options at all in this area for breakfast so it is worth the money if you do not want to eat in Chamonix proper. Selection of toast, pancakes, Jams, honey, cheeses, hot options included scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausages. Teas, coffees, granola, cereal, and crescents as well. Overall breakfast was plentiful - only criticism some things could have been warmer. DINNER They have their own herb garden in the back and the dinner we had was exceptional. Never would think hotel made! they locally sourced all their items and specify where. Our waiter Ciel was extremely hospitable—everyone at the hotel tried their best to help us. Drinks were best of trip. The fried rissoto and fresh cod were wonderful. LAUNDRY They have a laundry room: 5 euros for a wash; 3 euros for dryer. These are large machines and we were able to fit two peoples laundry in one. TRANSIT Tourists can get a free day time travel card to use in transits from hotel. Do note if travelling in night bus in Chamonix you will need to play 2 euros. Bus stop right outside hotel and 15 min ride to city Center. It’s the culture of the hotel that stood out to me. Everyone cares and will try to make your stay the best

This hotel is located quite far away from Chamonix. We stayed here for two nights during Mont Blanc Marathon, since almost all hotels in Chamo center were fully booked. The hotel has a perfect location for few hikes: You can walk to Bossons glacier and Merlet animal park from the hotel. Both places are behind a good hike (2-5 hours). The breakfast was ok. The pool was closed due to fire :( Avoid rooms towards the motorway. This was a good budget option during a peak moment, but next time I shall stay closer to Chamonix.

We stayed here for a long ski weekend. It is a good value for money, family run hotel. The room was large and clean and warm. We did pay the extra 9E for continental breakfast each day, as we did not want to be skiing all day on empty stomachs. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Our only negative was that it is a 15 minute walk to the edge of the town centre or a 25 minute walk to the Brevent ski lift. This got tiresome when carrying skis, poles, helmets and boots! We tried to catch the bus, it arrived on schedule but drove straight passed our stop, as it was full! On balance, I would try to get a hotel closer to the ski lift next time, but these hotels come at a premuium, so to save money I would be happy to stay here again and walk in and out of town each day.
