    We liked everything about the property, it’s not fancy but it feels cozy and laid back.

    Perfect location, right on the canal and close to town but still very quiet.

    A part of the hotel was under renovation

    Breakfast was great, the best part is that you can have coffee, tea or purified water 24/7. Location is close to everything, you can go walking The staff is amazing really polite and helpful

    The room could use one or two more outlets - especially closer to the beds

    The location and the staff can not be better. The views and the sound of the river - both phenomenal! The front desk people were fantastic- helpful and friendly.

    We had a basic room and the bathroom and bathtub/shower were old and dirty and needed some repairs.

    Great breakfast, perfect location! Outside area for relaxing by the river is very nice! This was our second trip to this hotel. Last time we stayed in the apartment which is very nice compared to the standard room.

    Sad that the room was cold and they did not turn on the radiator, we had a very cold night. They did provide us with extra comforter but that couldn't fix the issue.

    Welcoming staff, excellent location, rooms with superb views. The vibes in the hotel itself are cool!

    The continental breakfast set-up. It felt spread out everywhere in the restaurant room, not a big issue, and the coffee quality could use some improvement.

    The staff, the facilities, the location, the view. It was great! Totally recommend this place.

    Our allocated room was not the best as the balcony area was not a pleasant place to sit.

    Very good location. The public areas are lovely and the breakfast is served in a light and airy room with super mountain views. Our room was very clean and reception staff were very helpful.

    Staff’s knowledge about the town and attractions/activities are uneven. Some staff has zero knowledge and could use some peer learning or proper training.

    The is located at a beautiful river side and so convenient to go everywhere. From my room and my huge outside patio, I can see Mont Blanc clearly while listening the soothing sounds of snow water river running. 5 minutes walking to Train Station. Several bus lines within 1 or 2 minute walking distances. The Main Street through the town is 100 meter away. Breakfast is so rich and good, fresh fruits, bakeries, juices, cheeses , meats, fresh cooked boiled brown eggs and more. 24-hour staff onsite services, tea/coffee 24 hours, homemade cakes every afternoon. All staffs are polite and try very hard to be helpful. Shoutout to marvelous Sam. She is so eager to help and extremely knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas. I had the best time of my life on the trail and it’s surrounding small towns/French farms she recommended to me. Best valued hotel in Chamonix!

    Comfotable hotel in a fantastic location and wonderful staff. Magnificent mountain views from our balcony. The complimentary valley train ticket, and the complimentary coffee and hot chocolate in the lobby are a very nice touch. Our second stay, thank you again.
