Would be much better if was not for the pub nearby 🙂
Pros:

Location close to lakes and clean facilities. Nice view of the mountains.

Cons:

Next to an extremely noisy pub. Totally annoying from noon onwards. Sometimes it was impossible to sleep till very late at night. Incomplete and very basic breakfast (no eggs or fruits at all) with no variety.

Excellent hotel for visiting Alpes during 1 or 2 weeks
Pros:

Everything was very good, the room was perfect for the rest. Need to go 20 minutes by walk till city center, or take the bus. Excellent place. Very friendly and positive personnel, who does maximal efforts to help guests. No difficulties, everything was positive, calm and working well.

Cons:

The main limitation of hotel reservation in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is a significant price, which is true for many hotels. Also, in the room I stayed the last night, the door locker clearly needs a reparation because it is blocked by default for some reason, and opening the door needs an additional effort.

A good value option in a great location
Pros:

Great location and the staff clearly do their best with what they have. You can see there is care put into the rooms. It kinda does what it says on the tin. For this price point its comfortable, clean and in a good location.

Cons:

If I'm being picky i'd say some of the room is a bit dated. Like the 80s/90s telephone, the cushions, linen. But it does also add to the charm.

Pros:

We spent one night here with our two children and were very happy with our stay. The hotel was spotless, comfortable, and offered excellent value for money. The surrounding mountain scenery is breathtaking, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We would definitely recommend it and would love to come back!
