Excelente punto de partida para el Tour del Mont Blanc con un desayuno destacable.
Pros:

Elegimos este hotel como punto de inicio para hacer el Tour del Mont Blanc y la experiencia fue muy positiva. Cabe resaltar especialmente el desayuno, que cuenta con productos de alta calidad. En general, el hotel está muy limpio, aseado y ofrece un buen servicio. Las habitaciones son correctas y cómodas para descansar antes de empezar la ruta.

Cons:

Si nos ponemos muy exigentes, a las habitaciones no les vendría mal un pequeño punto de actualización. También hubo un ligero retraso en el check-in, aunque perfectamente entendible dada la gran afluencia de gente iniciando la ruta en esas fechas.
