Cleanliness
5.7
Multiple guests reported cleanliness problems (mold on bed sheets, dirty curtains/carpet, generally 'run down' areas) and at least one report of hair found in food; cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9.3
Mostly praised — several comments on very friendly and helpful staff, warm welcome from management and good bar staff; a few notes about less-friendly reception staff but overall service is strong.
Location
9.8
Consistently highlighted as a major positive: central/historic location, great mountain views and very convenient (parking available in many mentions).
Room Quality
8.6
Mixed: several guests found rooms spacious and pleasant with terraces, while others described outdated décor, small furniture, and poor mattresses causing back pain.
Amenities
9.4
Spa, indoor pool and sauna repeatedly praised and considered a standout feature; parking and restaurant facilities also noted positively.
Value for Money
7.5
Perceived as somewhat expensive for what is offered: complaints about high breakfast price and general mismatch between price and room condition for some guests.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Mixed-to-good: some guests enjoyed dinners and the restaurant, others reported poor food quality or incidents (hair in food) and uneven breakfast experiences.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall positive stays for many guests thanks to location, spa and friendly staff, but a number of significant negative issues (cleanliness, occasional unfriendly reception, noisy streets) create a mixed overall impression.

Pros:

De locatie van dit hotel in Les Houches is heel centraal gelegen. De kamer die wij hadden was ruim genoeg en ook het terras was fijn.
Super dat er een zwembad ter beschikking was.

Cons:

De isolatie van de ramen was heel slecht: We hadden een kamer aan de straatkant waar je geluid van voorbijgaand vervoer nog heel erg kon horen.
