“Let's start with the basics: this is a functional hotel. But we found the staff to be engaged, flexible (they gave us our room 3 hours before check-in time), they allowed us to leave our luggage for several hours before/ after check-in/check-out; the location is excellent. Room was clean and overlooked a nice patio area. Nice coffee shop near reception area.”

“The hotel was easy to find. I took a bus and then used Google Maps and the arrows on the building to find the hotel. The staff was super nice and friendly, extremely welcoming girls and a man. I send you my regards, you are the best. The room was clean but very small, and there was a sink in my room that didn't fit in the bathroom, but the view from the window was simply divine. I would return because I was quite satisfied with the hotel, but I would prefer a larger room and a sink in the room is too much. Breakfast - no. It's delicious but not worth 14 euros. Come on, in any café or bakery in Chamonix, you can get coffee and pastries for 5 euros, and it's 100 times tastier. So keep that in mind. I was willing to pay that much, but I expected to get something warm and tasty, not at that price. BUT after I tried breakfast and realized that it wasn't my style, I refused the next one and they refunded my money without any problems. Maybe the hotel isn't perfect, even for a 2-star, but the staff's attitude is the best it can be. THANK YOU.”
