Excellent service!!! High standard! There was a coffee/ tea machine, a spring / sparkling water machine near the lobby. You can get hot or cold drink free any time. Buffet breakfast was included. Moreover, at 4pm delicious cakes and cookie were served free! You can borrow bicycles free as well. The lobby is bright and cosy and there were some games. The members of staff were very helpful and responded very quickly. Extraordinary good hotel!

The hotel is right on the river and just a block off the city center. Staff was amazing. Breakfast was excellent, and there was refreshments always available. The property is a little older, but well kept, safe, and quaint. We had a lovely stay and would (will) stay again!!

Very cute hotel, the staff were very welcoming, especially Samr and Duniya, they made our stay so much better. The hotel itself was a little old fashioned but it does the job. Wouldn’t recommend for comfort but it’s in a nice location and the area is amazing.

Wonderful place, right near town center, with the feel of a warm ski lodge. Sits next to a stream with a view of the mountains. Probably the most friendly and helpful staff group I have experienced in recent memory.

A wonderful Chamonix hotel
What a wonderful hotel! We stayed in 6 or 7 budget hotels on our holiday to France and Switzerland and this was definitely our favourite. The staff are amazing (shout out to Samir, originally from Iran). There is a gorgeous garden overlooking the Arve River you can sit in which has sun or shade all day. Sit with a free water or coffee from the machines in the lobby or with a complementary pastry/homemade cake. Our room was a standard room but had amazing views of Mont Blanc and a lovely balcony. As with all budget hotels there are cons - no air con though after a first sleepless night Samir did find me a fan. It could also do with a refresh, especially the hallways. And our room was ‘between floors’ so no lift access. The breakfast was just ok, and over priced for me (our room rate didn’t include it( We’d come back here in a flash though!
