Melissa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, staff was very kind and gentle, very good service in general. Only thing that was not so good is that the "mountain view" was not what one would think. Small Windows that look to the parking an You could barely see a mountain betweem buildings. Couldnt even see it from bed.
Juan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Even though the weather wasn’t great and we couldn’t take the cable car to Aiguille du Midi, we still really enjoyed our time in Chamonix. The staff were very friendly and even let us park our car early — free parking is a real bonus here! Our two-bedroom apartment was huge, fully equipped, and had a massive balcony with amazing mountain views. The hot breakfast was excellent. The only downsides were that the laundry machine was out of order and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect stay.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

This is a lovely hotel, close to the central area of Chamonix. Breakfast was very good, with many options, including gluten free breads. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Velazquez, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms were very outdated.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.
