Schöner Aufenthalt in Annecy mit historischem Flair
Pros:

Sehr hübsches altes Haus mit Stil. Die Lage am Burgberg ist super, nur 5 min. zu Fuß in das Stadtzentrum, gleichzeitig ruhig, da abseits vom Touristenstrom. Es gab auch auch einen kleinen kostenlosen Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Das Zimmer im obersten Stock war sehr klein, aber für die wenigen Tage ausreichend. Mit Gepäck muss man sicher haushalten. Dafür war der Blick über die Stadt sehr hübsch. Das Frühstück war für den Preis völlig in Ordnung.

Das Hotel geniesst eine aussergewöhnliche und sehr ruhige Lage beim Schloss oben.
Cons:

Die Heizung war etwas auf Sparflamme gestellt, eine dicke Wolldecke wirkte da Wunder.

Hotel du Chateau is a wonderful place to stay in the old quarter of Annecy.
Pros:

I liked everything about this hotel. It was an easy walk from the train station. It was up on hill, which meant that the views from my cozy room and the detached terrace were stunning. Both nights I watched, from the terrace, the sunset behind the town of Annecy casting a pink glow on the alpes in the distance. The hotel owners were wonderful people who were welcoming and helpful, especially when I needed to replace my suitcase. They directed me to a nearby shop. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Their sweet dog (Paco??) was an adorable greeter each time I approached the hotel.

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn't like.

Pros:

-Kleines gemütliches Hotel/Zimmer
-Sauber
-nette Rezepzionsdame evtl. Chefin
-viele Broschüren/Ausflugsziele beim Empfamg zum Mitnehmen

Cons:

-Zimmer hat leider extrem nach Javel gerochen
-sehr kleine Dusche
-mussten in der Nacht den Fensterladen schließen, da es mit dem Vorhang viel zu hell war, weil draußen eine Strassenlampe bis am Morgen früh gebronnen gebronnen hat (wir wurden auch nicht darauf hingewiesen), zudem war beim betreffenden Fenster der Griff halb lose
-Zu kleines Frühstücksbuffet
-genervte Reinigungsfrau, da wir etwa 15 Minuten beim Auschecken zu spät waren

Sehr nette Unterkunft in zentraler Lage.
Pros:

Sehr zentrale Lage, in 2 min ist man zu Fuss in der Altstadt. Ich hatte ein kleines aber sehr ruhiges Zimmer. Wenn man nicht sehr viel Gepäck hat, ist das tipptopp. Ich wurde sehr freundlich empfangen und als Motorradfahrer hatte ich auch keine Parkplatzprobleme, denn es hat eine limitierte Anzahl von Parkplätzen vor dem Haus, was aber klar kommuniziert ist. Das Frühstück war auch wunderbar.

Cons:

Da fällt mir nichts ein.
