Property Description

Hotel Le Charaban de Aoste, an atmosphere typical of a family-run structure. Born in the 1960s on the Via Francigena to welcome travellers heading to the Grand-Saint-Bernard pass, the hotel was fully renovated and enlarged in 1992 by the Gerard-Margueret family. It is located on the hill of Aosta, in a residential setting on the Grand-Saint-Bernard road, about 2 km from the centre, near the regional hospital. All rooms have a wonderful mountain view.

Un buen hotel con excelente restaurante muy cerca del centro de Aosta.
Pros:

Hotel familiar con un gran restaurante. Excelente trato del personal. Muy fácil aparcar en el propio recinto del hotel. Las habitaciones no son nuevas pero tienen todo lo necesario y con un tamaño adecuado. El desayuno es correcto.

Cons:

Igual deben plantearse una renovación estética de las habitaciones, porque aún siendo correctas, no es el tipo de diseño al que los turistas suelen inclinarse en la actualidad.

Das Aostatal ist Reise wert. Sei es die Burgen der Challants, das kulinarisch herausragende Pollein oder das Gran Paradi
Pros:

Für uns war die Lage prima, da man von dort viele Ziele gut erreichen konnte .

Cons:

Das Zimmer war gut. Der Ausblick schön. Das Restaurant ist ein wenig mehr Schein als sein ..

Good for a one night stay on the way to other places. I thought it was slightly overpriced .
Pros:

Clean and tidy good welcome . Comfortable bed. Efficient and professional staff. Breakfast was ample. The restaurant and menu looked very good but we had already eaten en route.

Cons:

Was a little further out of aosta than we thought and on main rd . Slightly overpriced for the facilities, but it was a Saturday night and may have been still on a high season tariff

A good all-round hotel.
Pros:

A lovely positioned hotel with super views into the valley. Tea and coffee making facilities as well as a fridge. Covered parking area for our motorbike. Fantastic breakfast. Not too long a walk down into the centre of Aosta, which was interesting. Great base to go up the St Bernard Pass. Well worth a visit. Fascinating watching the bats in the evening too.

Cons:

Busy road close by but got quieter as the evening went on.

Pros:

L'emplacement répondait à nos attentes.
Le parking sécurisé est un atout majeur pour nous. La propreté des chambres est à souligner. Le personnel a été attentif à nos requêtes et leur conseil pour visiter Aoste étaient judicieux. Et le must de tout c'est le restaurant qui propose des plats variés et d'une exceptionnelle qualité tant sur la goût que sur la quantité.

Cons:

Rien, il conviendrait de moderniser la salle de bains mais elle reste tout à fait correcte.
