• "We stayed as a couple over a long weekend (Valentine's day - for our 3 year anniversary) and had everything we needed for a superb ski holiday. We arrived with low expectations due to its two stars, but were pleasantly surprised to be wowed by every part of our stay, beginning with swift plate of delicious cheese, salami and bread after our flight was delayed and we arrived near midnight having had no dinner. Amazing! The hotel got everything right that needed to be tip top: sparkling clean rooms, supremely hot showers, warm and toasty rooms, excellent beer at the bar, extremely helpful staff at the front desk who helped us decide where to ski & booked us a car service to Courmayeur, and a healthy, simple breakfast before each day on the slopes. Its location was great for our purposes - a 5 minute walk to the pedestrian zone, a 12 minute walk to the Aiguille du Midi station, and 50 meters from the No.1 bus station to get to one of the slopes." - Trip Advisor
• "We booked two nights and enjoyed our stay. Recommend dinner as it is a little out of town and the food was delicious. The rate with dinner and breakfast and dinner included was excellent. 20 minute walk into town. Train about 50m away, which ran every hour. We arranged for a day pass which included lifts, gondolas and trains and was well worth it. We travelled all over Chamonix and experience the beautiful views of this special place. The passes were arranged at reception. They spoke great English and were very friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be happy to return." - Trip Advisor
• "Even though this hotel hasn't got all the facilities in your room as others it is a brilliant stay. Located about 600m from the centre of town and only about 50m from a train station it is ideal. The rooms are very comfortable, large, great bathroom and the views are to die for. We had room 109 with a view of Mont Blanc and other mountains & a glacier- who needs a TV when you have that. Great balcony to sit and drink champagne. If you want a TV there is one in the lounge. No fridge but staff were only too happy to put our champagne in the fridge down stairs. Staff were all extremely helpful, spoke great English and were a pleasure to deal with. We chose to have full board and I'd recommend it. The meals were delicious, plenty of it and even though there are no doubt great restaurants in town why bother when it is so good where you are staying. We will be back!" - Trip Advisor
