The pairing of flavors and I tasted the best French wine with the hosts recommendation. I'd love to visit again.

The view was wonderful. The location, right on a plaza, across from the tourist office, next to the church with a great cafe downstairs and a bakery across the plaza, was unbeatable.

I booked this hotel for a one night stay for just my infant son and I. We were meeting up with…read morefamily the next day and I wanted somewhere that looked welcoming, was safe, and was easy to get to from the drop off point. This hotel was amazing. The front desk woman, I've forgotten her name by she was the absolute sweetest, was so helpful and made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. I know about 2% of words in French (ill prepared for this trip, I know) but she spoke English very well and helped me with a few French words. The room was small and nothing fancy, but honestly, even with a 8 month old, I was barely in the room and I doubt you will be either. I pushed the beds together we slept wonderfully. I woke early, cracked the balcony door cracked open and enjoyed the sights of Chamonix at 3 am. The fact that this is the ACTUAL view from my room was insane. I felt very safe, the location can't be beat (across the street from the tourist center so you can grab WiFi if you need it), and in great walking distance from the rest of the town. Loved it and will stay again when we visit again.

This hotel is right next to the station just a few steps walk after getting off the bus so really convenient. Standard rooms very small with tiny windows. Too soft bed. Not bad breakfast (although not necessarily included in the room rate and not cheap at an additional 20 euro). Outdoor swimming pool not large enough for laps swimming. Overall a good location if you want to be next to the bus station and it's just a 15 min walk to town center.

The owners work from sunup until sundown and it shows. The rooms were immaculate and cozy as well as the common spaces. you just had that feeling that it is cleaner than your own home at least mine in Chicago. . The couple and employee who run it went above and beyond to make the stay spectacular. They answered the same questions over and over and never were impatient with us. My husband speaks rudimentary French yet their English is much better than our French. We stated in a family room with a bunk bed and two single beds for the parents pushed together. We slept under thick clean down comforter s which kept us warm at night and because it was so comfortable, we slept in so late that we almost missed breakfast. The breakfasts were out of this world. Ww had homemade yoghurt, fruits, muesli, eggs.local cheeses and breads and the list goes on. We were satiated until dinner so its actually worth the price. They have the sweetest dog and two cats that my children fell in love with. It was also such an easy stay because the bus to the different mountains are literally across the street. Also, ask for their recommendation for good dinner places. and because of them We had not one bad meal in Chaminoix. The last night we ate at an Italian restaurant housed in a 700 year old farmhouse. It was out of this world....We plan on returning sone day, hopefully sooner rather than later!

The room was a nice size and their was a day bed if you are travelling with a child. The one negative about this place is that the bed had springs. I'm used to the memory foam mattresses.

Service was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable (especially of wines, cheeses, and dish ingredients). They were very accommodating of group member who is no fish/seafood. The service did miss the mark in a couple of places (no bread plates throughout meal so we were literally eating our bread and cheese off the table when we didn't have an entree plate, no wine parings, and sommelier was knowledgeable but a little bossy.). ABP does require an uphill hike or drive "up the hill" (it's not in the heart of town) but well worth it and an excellent experience!!!

We had the misfortune to eat dinner here on a recent visit. When we had started the night, we had…read moreinformed the server that we had just gotten in from the US that day and were a little tired. We asked to see if they can be expeditious with getting our courses out. She acknowledged our request and we thought the restaurant would be mindful of that. We ordered the 7 course tasting menu. We sat down at 7pm. At 10pm we had just gotten 4 courses! There was a large party that was getting preferential service. When we spoke with our server about the long wait, she didn't acknowledge that it was a problem. Instead, she apparently went to the chef to inform him of this and chaos ensued. When he came out into the dining room, we thought that he would apologize for the delay. What a shock it was that instead of doing so, he start loudly berating us in front of the entire dining room for not understanding how French restaurants worked and that we should not have ordered the tasting menu if we didn't expect to have to wait. He treated us like we were uncouth and ignorant. (Mind you that we have traveled all around the world and have been to innumerable Michelin starred restaurants). He was so aggressive that my husband was preparing to have to physically defend me. We wound up just paying the bill and leaving without finishing our meal. We have NEVER had an experience like this in any restaurant. It was disturbing and I felt UNSAFE and THREATENED by the chef. I would hope that the managers of this hotel/restaurant address this issue seriously. Do not come to this restaurant if you expect to be treated with respect. It does not matter what the food tastes like or the view that you have. What matters is the bad taste in your mouth when you leave here.
