Lovely little hotel
Pros:

Lovely little hotel, on the main strip but not noisy as we had a room to the side. Lovely to hear the church bells ring in the morning!

Staff were super friendly, would definitely stay again :)

Great location - icky room
Pros:

First the positives. The hotel location in the center of Chamonix is fantastic. All of the staff I interacted with were helpful, pleasant and charming. Top-notch! Rooms were also affordable. Unfortunately, the hotel has somewhat of a feeling of being a flophouse. It is old and rundown and not well maintained. My room had carpet and curtains that look to be from 1974. The furniture was very basic but extremely beat up. Coffee stains abound on the nightstand and TV table. The floor was quite saggy and creaks as you walk across it which means you can also hear every footstep in the room above you. The bathroom and my room as a whole have had few updates since perhaps the World War II era. Even the old built-in cast-iron tub is still there. While, it might be viewed as somewhat quaint, the black mold growing around it and the haphazard white paint that was slapped everywhere in the bathroom in an attempt to brighten up the room, made it feel icky. Also, there were gobs of human hair at the base of the bidet. Paint was peeling from the bathroom wall along with tiles missing around the baseboard. There was a large storage cabinet in the room which had a door that would not stay shut. I had to prop up a garbage can in front of the door to keep it from always swinging open. There was nothing about my room that allowed me to recharge after spending a day in beautiful Chamonix. It was a depressing room to come home to. The price was right, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Pros:

מלון ישן וחמוד. ממש ברחוב המרכזי בשאמוני. פקידת הקבלה היתה ממש נעימה. למרות שהמלון מרדעשן היה נקי ומתוחזק. ואווירה נעימה. שהינו 2 זוגות

we couldn't wait to leave this hotel the next morning.
Pros:

We didn't like anything

Cons:

Everything didn't look like the pictures on the website, it was dirty and not taken care of at all. the bathroom was in a disgusting condition, walls and doors were broken and cracked, overall we aren't happy or pleased with our stay in the slightest.

Mala relación, precio calidad
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

La instalación de el hotel está deteriorada y se escucha el piso de arriba, absolutamente todo desde los pasos, hasta cuando hacen el amor, el ascensor es de muy poca capacidad, extremadamente pequeño, al igual que los baños.
