What guests loved the most

“The surroundings were quiet, with a park next to it. However, it was a bit far from city. With free transportation card, we could take a bus at no cost, but the bus was not frequent.”

, Hong Kong

“Well located on the bus route, but nice and peaceful because not in the city centre. Lovely views of the mountain. Staff obliging.”

, South Africa

“Very friendly and helpful staff. The Hotel gave us a ticket to use the train and the bus in Chamonix for free. Very clean and comfortable room. The room had mountain views. It is in a very good location. Highly recommended.”

, Malta

“The location was excellent with an outstanding view and the room was clean and fresh. We were also supplied with a bus pass to get in to Chamonix.”

, United Kingdom

“Good location and staff. Great view from room on Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. Free parking.”

, USA

“Simplicity, comfortable, good value, great view of Mont Blanc, good breakfast, nice little 'bar' area for locals to drop in and have a coffee.”

, United Kingdom

“Friendly staff (borrowed umbrella when raining), close to the skibus stop, good breakfast,”

, Netherlands

“Happy with the price we paid. View from our room balcony was amazing. Staff at the hotel were lovely. Took the free bus into Les Hoches. Appreciate the cost for accommodation directly in the centre of Chamonix is more expensive but would rather be on the outskirts of Chamonix with a short walk or free bus ride into the centre, rather than another town in the Chamonix Valley. I consider Chamonix to be the biggest, busiest, best town within the Chamonix Valley.”

, United Kingdom

“Nice, simple hotel run by friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!Slightly out of town but not a problem for us.”

, United Kingdom

“Great Value for money: clean, wooden&cosy, basic but renovated room, big bathroom, fresh towels, view of mt Blanc from the windows, super friendly staff - speaking English, hotel next to the ski bus stop, good breakfast (fresh bread, cheese& ham), good restaurant next door if you are too tired to dine out in town”
