What people say
location is perfect, and the rest just does what it says: rooms are clean, the lady is friendly, parking is plenty, les Gaillands crag is just outside with the lake and the bar next door. Some rooms might even have a Mont Blanc view, though it comes with some (very little) noise from the road. Our basic ones always faced the rock and were very quiet.
This is an ideal little hotel for a short stay. Very friendly and
efficient staff. The room was small but adequate and they gave us a
balcony overlooking the lake at no extra charge. Free wifi, free parking
and a good breakfast for €8.50. We had a car, but the bus is free to
Chamonix and other areas. Ideal for summer or winter.all reviews »
Joelle was very nice in telling us in advance that would be a concert/party on the next hotel and that the night could be very noisy. The reception was very warm, the hotel, room and bath were 100% clean and the breakfasts worths its value. I recommend this hotel to everyone.
It is a budget hotel that was clean and comfortable and well priced. Hotel Vert next door has a shuttle to the ski lifts that we used for 3 euros each way per person as the ski bus was only every hour or so.
Hotels was very clean and the staff where very helpful
location was good as you got a free bus and train ticket.
Would go back again.

your room.

small breakfast.
Long walk to Chamonix for evening meal, bit pricey for what it was, breakfast was expensive.
Terrible breakfast -> FR style so only bread and jam
Staff could be bothered to learn english.
A little too far out of Chamonix centre.
little bit too far out of the city centre, 20 min walk. Check if breakfast is included in the booking- ours wasn't and they didn't tell us until we had to pay extra.
