Hotels near Geneva Airport Transfers in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

1. Most, if not all, rooms have their own private balconies. These face either the back of the hotel, ie. facing the same range of the Alps as Aiguille Du Midi and Montenvers (the cable cars can be seen from the balconies), or the front of the hotel, ie. facing the city centre and Brevent (another arm of the Alps?) . The block of tree trunk which serves as a stool is very heavy! 2. It is located adjacent to the Chamonix MB train station. It is 3-5 minute-walk away from the town centre, McDonald's being one of the first easily-recognised indications. 3. The hotel interiors are mainly oak (like Ikea type): doors, table, shelves, wall fixtures. Personally love it, esp. the designs being flat and square. This was much more practical and pleasant to the sight compared to 'new' 'urban' furnishings where pieces were oddly shaped and placed. Would certainly seek to stay there again if returning.

This hotel is located quite far away from Chamonix. We stayed here for two nights during Mont Blanc Marathon, since almost all hotels in Chamo center were fully booked. The hotel has a perfect location for few hikes: You can walk to Bossons glacier and Merlet animal park from the hotel. Both places are behind a good hike (2-5 hours). The breakfast was ok. The pool was closed due to fire :( Avoid rooms towards the motorway. This was a good budget option during a peak moment, but next time I shall stay closer to Chamonix.

Very good hotel! Located in the heart of Chamonix and at the gates of the Aiguille du Midi The attention of the staff is impeccable and the spa is a real plus The restaurant very good a little expensive but very good quality

The hotel restaurant, full of Chamonix center, seemed to us a cheap table and it proved not. At once we wanted a burger. So we're taking a burger. The meat cooking is perfect, the piquets are famous, the croissant frites, the brood toast. And a huge size! Then the cake to the delicious ananas! A nice playlist, not too many in view of the time, a laughtered servant with a delicious accent.

Monsieur Hugo L, je fais suite à votre réponse plus que lamentable sur notre commentaire, nous attendions votre réponse avec impatience et nous ne sommes pas déçu… Nous avons loué une chambre pour une nuit et nous avons mangé au restaurant le soir, nous avions vu les très bons avis sur Google et n’avons pas hésité. Arrivé à l’hôtel, l’accueil était moyen, on nous donne la clé et on nous indique même pas la direction pour trouver les chambres, en clair débrouillez vous…. Puis nous avons donc mangé le soir à l’auberge, quelle déception…. Le verre d’apéritif était rempli au 3/4 de glaçons, une honte … L’entrée très moyenne aussi, les st-Jacques étaient plutôt bonnes mais tout ce qui l’entourait était fade et sans saveurs…. Étonnant venant « d’un passionné de gastronomie » comme on peut le lire sur certains commentaires…. Le plat était très médiocre niveau goût et présentation, le filet de fera était trop cuit, bourré d’arêtes et fade, l’accompagnement était inexistant, nous sommes restés sur notre faim… encore une fois un passionné de gastronomie… Le dessert vous permettra de quitter la table en étant lever tellement il y a rien à manger, un goût inexistant et une texture plus que douteuse, la meilleure chose était un vulgaire biscuit sec… madame n’a même pas fini l’assiette… Pour finir nous avons pris une tisane à la camomille et à la verveine… je sais que l’eau est rare mais pour remplir une tasse complètement vu le prix, est ce du luxe..? Je vous joins la photo de cette fameuse tisane… une honte je n’ai jamais vu ça ailleurs ! Nous aurions dû prendre une photo de chaque plat mais nous avions un peu de respect pour l’équipe… Enfin, nous avons fait part de notre incompréhension au propriétaire de l’établissement sans mauvaise intention particulière bien au contraire, il nous a offert les apéritifs pour ensuite nous dire que c’était nous le problème et que c’était pas de notre goût… il faut assumer monsieur Hugo L. Nous partions pour ne pas spécialement mettre d’avis car l’équipe était très agréable dans l’ensemble en dehors du propriétaire. C’était sans compter sur ce même propriétaire qui a attendu qu’on règle pour se lâcher avec son comportement condescendant et pour nous rappeler que c’est nous le problème et pas lui. Monsieur Hugo L, vous êtes une honte pour tous les restaurateurs et pour votre équipe, vous n’êtes ni commerçant, ni bienveillant vis à vis de vos clients, vous n’acceptez pas la critique même constructive, pas professionnel et êtes à la rue complet par rapport à ce que devrait être un bon restaurateur. Rappelez vous que c’est les clients qui font votre CA…. Toute personne insatisfaite se fait limite agresser avec des propos pitoyable, très limite et pas professionnel du tout. N’hésitez pas à aller voir ailleurs ce que propose vos concurrents pour prendre exemple et vous améliorer… ou changer de métier, visiblement celui de restaurateur n’est pas fait pour vous. Pour finir, nous déconseillons fortement ce

The positives: The bed was comfortable and the views amazing if you have a mountain view! From there it all goes downhill fast and you may as well be staying in a Hostel! Check in is 4pm, at which point you're told due to the hotel's desire to protect the environment they've done away with one time use plastics and you're handed a glass bottle and told to go fill it at the dispenser! Sounds good, until you get to your room and find one time use plastic cups in the bathroom and one time use paper cups by the coffee maker along with plastic utensils, and you see that the lights used are not LED's! Looking around you realize there are no amenities like shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc. So back to reception to ask about it? This is after all supposed to be a 4 star hotel!! At the reception you're told they have them behind the counter, all you have to do is ask for them??!! (4 star hotel??) You're handed a tray of ”one time use” amenities each one plastic and told to pick the ones you want! The hotels claim to be concerned for the environment is starting to feel a little disingenuous! We also had a real problem with the lighting in the rooms and bathroom. The bathroom lighting is terrible with the lights angled above you so the mirror is really useless because of the shadows! Whoever designed this did not have user friendly for the guest in mind! Also the shower stream was practically non existent, not enough force to rinse my hair and kept vacillating between tepid and too hot! Most of the ”front desk” people don't know anything about customer service and have had no training in it! A 4 star hotel at check-in should at least offer a map of the area and have some knowledge of the vicinity! That was not our experience.. we had to ask for a map! One gets the feeling this is just a temporary summer job for most of these people and they can't wait for this to be over! Obviously we don't recommend this hotel! I don't know how they ended up with a 4 star rating! We have traveled extensively and stayed in many hotels and I can honestly say I've never stayed in one like this! It's definitely not a 4 star hotel.. It's a hostel masquerading as a hotel!

First let me say the hotel is lovely, the suite was great. From the photos I did expect there to be a separation between the sofa bed and the main bed so it must depend which suite they give you. Ours only had just enough space to walk between the two. Most of the staff are friendly and try to be helpful (see below). Breakfast was great. You can order ”snacking” from the bar until 6pm but then the restaurant doesn't open until 7pm. We didn't use the restaurant but we did have snacking one evening. The food was good but the woman serving at the bar was terrible. Not very polite, not very helpful, almost rude. Really not what you expect in such a classy hotel. After the food was delivered (by other staff) we asked her for cutlery because it didn't come with any.....she didn't do anything. In the end I reached into the restaurant and took some off one of the tables. When my wife shortly after reached in again and took a napkin the woman from the bar complained. The location I would call average. You can walk into a busier area of town in 10 minutes or so. There's one restaurant opposite called Little Boxes which we went to a lot, it does great pizza, hamburgers, drinks, etc. After booking the room I asked the hotel for help from with transfers, equipment hire and ski school for children. Transfers - expensive at 260 Euros each way but they were good. There was a problem with the return transfer being set at the time the flight departed but fortunately I checked the day before and changed it. Equipment hire - Skiset - is in the hotel. They also look after the equipment when you're not using it (see below). Ski School - ESF - very good, the problems arose due to the hotel being some distance from Les Plenards which is where the lessons take place. You have to get there by 9am. It's 20+ minutes walk which you can't do in boots while carrying skis. The bus stop is just opposite the hotel but the woman on reception I asked told me when the bus goes but said it takes 15 minutes and you have to change. So since Skiset doesn't open until 8.30 that doesn't leave enough time. But you have to get there well before 8.30 because there will be a queue. So we ordered a taxi for 30 euros. Turns out the buses go at 8.24 and 8.44 and take 7-10 minutes direct. In the hotel there's a sign which says no ski boots in the lift. So to get the 8.24 you have to ignore that or clomb up the stairs in your boots and carrying skis and then down again in the morning. Or you can collect your skis at 8.30 and catch the 8.44 - If you can get on it. The buses are great in terms of where and when they go, the problem is there's no queue system so every time it's a battle to get on the bus. It's worse at the end of the day because everyone is tired and desperate to get back and the bus doesn't always stop in the same place so because there's no queue system it's pot luck whether you get on it. Then when you're on it they're jam packed, trying to hold your skis, the bus pole and your

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in early September. The hotel is perfectly located, short walking distance to everything in Chamonix. It is an older charming style hotel, with some upgrades like plumbing, elevator etc. The personnel was very nice and friendly. The breakfast for 12 EUR was a bit on a pricey side, but considering other options, it was a good value. It offered cereal, yogurt, fruits, cold cuts, cheeses, jams , croissants, coffee, tea and of course delicious French baguettes. Any ending supplies were replenished in a timely manner. Our room was on the upper floor. It was quite small, but there was also a loft accessible via steep squeaky stairs with 3 single beds. It contained a fridge with few drinks for pay and free safe for valuables, but we could not make it work. There was sufficient space for clothing and other belongings. Bed was comfortable. The windows could be wide open and the river was flowing just outside. At this time of the year we did not need heating or cooling. Few negatives: The TV was way too small and placed on the table in the corner. Could not watch anything. Besides that, only French channels were available. The lighting was absolutely insufficient, needed flashlight to read anything. The wifi ******, especially in the evenings. The hotel provides a ”guest card” for duration of the stay, which is valid for all public transportation in the area, from Servoz to Valrocine. I think all hotels do that in Chamonix. Despite the negatives above, the hotel met our needs and we enjoyed or vacation in Chamonix.

Come to be volunteer at the white mountain marathon, and make a rando. Hotel well located in the centre. Someone at reception 24h/24, early breakfast without problem, varied, pleasant room ... I'll come back ...

I have been visiting France for many years and I LOVE the country. I favour the south because of the amazing weather and because it is close to Italy and to Spain but I have visited many towns and cities over the years. This hotel in Sallanches is excellent for travellers and in the same large area there are two Ibis Hotels and then loads of shops and bars, all near to a large Carrefour super market. The Style is lovely and has some covered parking which is GREAT when travelling by motorbike. Rooms and the bar are great. So what is not to like? Er. The staff. It seems from my experience that the French people are NOT good at serving and helping other folks, period. Last time I met with the Manager and he was sooooo kind, he moved his own motorbike to make space for mine. BUT the folks who work for him in reception are the opposite, they really do not seem to want guests!! The first TWO times I walked into reception with helmet and waterproofs they tried to direct me to the Ibis Budget, so I am a Budget kind of guy???? Awful. BUT the hotel is excellent. Despite them.
