まずまずよき

シャモニモンブラン駅から徒歩15分ほどのところにあるこじんまりしたミニマムなホテル。スタッフはとても愛想が良く親切。部屋はエアコンがないので暑かったです。シャワーの水圧が弱いです。朝食はホットミールもたくさんあり満足おいしかったです。チェックアウトの日に少し観光するのに荷物を預かってもらえました。merci！また機会があれば。

Always nice. Parking outside in the heart of chamonix (very hard to find) close to everything, quiet and comfy.
Niclas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms were very outdated. Felt kinda dirty but most likely just old. The staff and shared area was great. I would not stay here again but if you are not looking for luxury it’s fine. I would have preferred a little more comfort.

Experiencia incrível. Muito acolhedor
Lucas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay was great, the room had a little issue as one of the mirrors was broken and it could've been a safety hazard, especially with a little boy around (as we stayed with my 7 year old son in the room). I really appreciated the modern TV and the refillable water option. I think the hotel needs a bit of refurbishment in order to get a 5 star review. All in all a really good stay, location is also grea. I would recommend it.

Lovely property with everything you need and the location is excellent. Staff were lovely too… My only moan is the toilet in the apartment was not on the same floor as the bedrooms.
