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.
