Amazing value for money

Aigars 10/10

Pros: It’s a great location - very close to the city centre but far enough to hear no noise. The breakfast buffet was also really nice.

Cons: The younger lady from the staff was super friendly and kind and while the other elderly lady was nice as well, but when I kept asking for coffee refills while having breakfast she made me feel as if those coffees are coming out of her pocket and also when she was serving the breakfast there was a shortage of food and some people didn’t even get their promised breakfast, but I don’t know who’s responsible for that.

Quaint hotel with a beautiful view

Pros: The property was clean and comfortable. It has the most beautiful view, a UK style hotel next door serving good food and 10 min walk to free train to visit the Alps. Cannot go wrong with a stay here away from the main tourist town. Would recommend.

Cons: Nothing of note

Great hotel, perfectly located with fantastic staff and views.

Pros: The hotel was perfect for us. We had two rooms as our base for skiing in Les Houches. The staff were always friendly and engaging. The hotel's located about a 20 minute walk from Chamonix, which was fine for us as we walked in each evening. Les Houches ski area is a 10 minute drive down the valley. The hotel also has good bus and train access to and from Chamonix. The rooms were always well cleaned, appropriately sized, with plenty of storage and a simple but functional en suite. The views from the balcony are spectacular. Always great to stay in a hotel with its own free car park!

Perfect location and great value for money.

Pros: Cosy hotel with incredible views of Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. Rooms are simple but extremely functional and great value for money. Free parking is extremely convenient and we used the car to visit different resorts. Breakfast is simple but good.

Execellent stay in the winter wonderland!

Pros: Location and the ease of checkin was excellent. Just around 15min walk from the hustle of the city centre. Small place but cozy and they also provide guest pass that allows you discount on travel passes around the city. Small but tidy rooms, all basic amenities available.

Cons: NA
