Positive Reviews
positive:
Friendly and very helpful staff
Again and again guests mentioned how great the staff at the hotel were. While many said that they were welcoming and friendly, what most impressed seemed to be their willingness to help guests out, especially by offering top local tips regarding the best ski runs.
positive:
Very decent breakfast
While there were a few contrary opinions, the overwhelming majority of guests seemed to really enjoy the breakfast. It was said to be delicious and contain enough variety to please all but the pickiest of eaters.
positive:
Good central location
Though guests mentioned that they needed to take buses to many of the ski lifts, they conceded that was simply the nature of skiing in Chamonix. They did describe the hotel's location as exceptionally central, with the town centre nearby, and the Aiguille du Midi also well within walking distance.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms a bit on the small side
Several guests said that both the bedroom area and the bathrooms were a bit on the small side. Especially since many were on skiing holidays, they felt they needed a bit more space than usual, but in fact received a bit less.
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi
Guests mention various issues with the Wi-Fi, including that it is only free for a limited usage period, and that it seems unreliable and a bit slow. Those with an urgent need for reliable connectivity may want to consider activating data roaming.
negative:
Problem with the showers
Several guests reported that whenever they took a shower the whole bathroom floor would be flooded, blaming this on very poor fitting shower doors.
