We stayed at this hotel 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. This time, our room felt very tired. It was much smaller (not sure why)… the number on the outside of the door was even handwritten on the wall because the ski that normally displayed the numbers had fallen off. I like the idea of this hotel and it is very convenient to so many things…. They just need to make sure all of their rooms are on the same page.

Perhaps room is not important

Rooms are really very small; for two people, no shelves to put clothing, no hooks to hang climbing gears, not even one chair to sit. But the window view of Mont Blanc charming. Nice bar and lounging area, comfortable outdoor space and great beautiful view of Mont Blanc massif

Stayed at this hotel for a family trip to Chamonix. Unfortunately, the hotel is not child friendly. If you are taking your children there, make sure you book rooms for them in advance as if they are adults, otherwise you could be in for a nasty price shock at check-in. For example, they won’t allow a young child in a double room with her parents. You would need a triple room. If you have 2 adults and 2 young kids, a triple room is not sufficient according to their unwritten rule, so you will need to pay for a quadruple room or two double rooms. The performances and amenities are mostly intended for adults. There is an age limit of 16 for swimming pool and spa. Lots of adults walking around the hotel in white towels. When it comes to rooms, they are typical of a hotel room, except for the following: 1. Very poor lighting to the point I couldn’t do packing at night. 2. No AC and it can get hot and humid in the summer. 3. No privacy between shower and sink with only a transparent glass wall between them (another poor choice for a family with kids). Upon arrival, the slippers provided didn’t look clean. The sink was not clean either with a stain on the side. On the positive side, this hotel has a nice view of the mountains and can be great for adults and night life. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was single or had no kids in company. It’s relatively quiet and away from the busiest part of town center.
No privacy between shower and sink.
Poor lighting requires daylight from the window.
Good view of the mountains
