The rooms were very outdated. Felt kinda dirty but most likely just old. The staff and shared area was great. I would not stay here again but if you are not looking for luxury it’s fine. I would have preferred a little more comfort.

Great hotel, with a excellent location just at the edge of the pedestrian area. The views from the garden (open to everyone) are amazing. We were staying in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartments are in a different building. We got the one on top floor that has the best view (on the aiguilles de Chamonix, and aiguilles rouges on the other side,but the view of mont blanc is obstructed). The other apartments didn't seem to have much view, but it doesn't matter as much since you can just go sit in the garden and enjoy the view there. The best part was the service, that was above and beyond, especially from the person that was there in the evening. From what we have seen, the hotel rooms have a bit more character than the apartments (and some a really nice view), but for us the 2 bedroom was a great value as everyone could have their room, and we also a had a kitchen and a washing machine

Friendly and helpful staff! We were pleasantly surprised to learn that they offer a variety of coffee-tea and water 24/7. Everyday at 4pm they offer a little dessert like marble cake! Their outdoor space faces the mountain with the river running alongside it. It’s quite lovely and comfortable. Our room had a little balcony. Be sure to ask for a room on the 2nd floor or above facing the mountain. Parking can be tricky as it fills up fast. It’s centrally located with restaurants, shops down the street and the Aiguille du Midi and Montenvers Mer de Glace within 10-15 min walking distance. Our car stayed parked our entire stay as we also used the local bus system. The carpet in the hallway could use updating. The slim stairs from the first floor to the lobby require you to pay attention on the way down. Nice lobby area with plenty of indoor seating as well. We would definitely return!

A rustic hotel with awesome views of Mont Blanc. A hotel with old charm for visitors who came with the sole purpose of skiing back in the days. The amenities were minimal but we liked the experience. The room was spacious for 4 and the beds were comfortable. We didn't bother getting the hotel breakfast as there a couple of good patisseries close by for fraction where you can get breakfast for a fraction of the cost. The hotel had a good patio where we enjoyed or breakfast and scenic views of Mont Blanc. The hotel puts out cookies and treats everyday for guests to enjoy. They had a espresso machine with espresso and hot chocolate. They had a pool table and foosball table in the game room which was nice. Our overall stay was very enjoyable.

No free parking as advertised. No parking was available and therefore I had to move my vehicle to a parking garage. Hard to drop off bags due to congestion in the area. Room was old. Bathroom door didn’t open all the way. Hot water took forever to warm up.

The stay was great, the room had a little issue as one of the mirrors was broken and it could've been a safety hazard, especially with a little boy around (as we stayed with my 7 year old son in the room). I really appreciated the modern TV and the refillable water option. I think the hotel needs a bit of refurbishment in order to get a 5 star review. All in all a really good stay, location is also grea. I would recommend it.
