Despite we notified host about our late arrival, we haven’t received any information, or instruction for an access to the property, and being forced to stay in hotel for one night. We contacted again to ask for a one night refund and haven’t received any response at all!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in
The first night we were given an extremely noisy room. Really dirty. Some of the sheets had hair on them. When I made the beds, I found dirty tissues between mattress and bed frame. Skirting boards were filthy; bath full of mould. We were moved to a different room and it was much quieter, but still the place is run down and overall dirty.

Inès was incredible at reception
The room was well equipped and clean
I had a great stay
This hotel offers virtually no service. While bed linens are provided, guests are expected to make the beds themselves and even strip them before leaving. You’re also required to thoroughly clean the room upon departure, or an extra charge will apply. Basic essentials like toilet paper and soap were either missing or insufficient. Overall, it does not offer good value for the price. Not recommending it!

Very happy with the condition, location, cleanliness and staff of the hotel. Inez, at the front desk was great - very helpful and happy!
Parking is quite a challenge, there is one right next to the hotel, but not free, however understandable, because we are right in the city center.

Fantastic location. Near to the cable car station. A short walk to the train/bus stations and the centre of town is 5 minutes away. Fantastic friendly staff. Beautiful views of Mont Blanc right from your balcony, weather and room number permitting. My 3rd visit here and I'll happily recommend it to anyone. Thanks to all the staff for a great stay. See you soon!

Disliked: Communication
The property is conveniently located near bus stations and the Chamonix Centre, which made getting around very easy. The room itself is small but functional, equipped with a bed and a compact kitchenette including dishes and cutlery (although we did not make use of these facilities).
Prior to our arrival, I reached out to the property owners with a few questions but unfortunately did not receive any response, which was disappointing.
During our stay, we encountered some significant issues with the bathroom. The sink and bathtub were clogged, had an unpleasant odor, and showed signs of mold. Although we requested cleaning assistance multiple times, the odor persisted and was quite uncomfortable throughout our stay.
Additionally, only one roll of toilet paper was provided, and guests are expected to supply their own thereafter. When I attempted to purchase an additional roll from reception, I was informed that this was not possible.
Overall, while the location is a strong advantage, improvements in communication, maintenance, and guest amenities would greatly enhance the experience
