Dinner and breakfast had good options and tasty. Dinner had a good spread of options including meat, cheese, salad, salmon one night, 2 desserts; our other night stay had a la carte dinner which was my favorite of the two and had much better desserts. Breakfast had multiple types of yogurt including packaged flavored, chèvre, natural; granola and plain cornflakes, fruit, dried fruit, salad, charcuterie, baguette, butter croissants, sliced bread, multiple jams, hard boiled eggs. Location is within short walking distance to a bus stop, grocery store and some shops. Wifi was good, but did have poor coverage in the dining area. I would stay here again.

All in all it was a really nice stay and I would gladly stay here again.

The breakfast spread was wonderful. There was fruit, sausage, mushrooms, eggs, chia seed pudding, pastries, juices etc. I had dinner one night here and got a burger and it was fresh and filling.

Our room was clean and had a good amount of Space. The hotel is about 15/20 minute bus ride into Chamonix but the prices are far cheaper than anything in the city directly. They have a delicious restaurant where I had one of the best cheese pizzas of my life. There are a lot of activities at the hotel and it is very lively. The only thing is they DO NOT do bag check if you arrive early. We were lucky enough to check in early however you can't store bags here. Would stay again. I really enjoyed my visit overall.

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.

But rooms are clean, and the shared facilities as well (the downstairs showers are supposed to be better). We had a small corner room with two windows, nice views of the idyllic green hilly surroundings, very bare with just a double bed and a sink (a plus as not all rooms have that). Bed is rather soft and the pillows are totally flat. Hotel's on a hill so climbing up the steps to this place is seriously strenuous, especially at the end of the hiking day. Wifi almost nonexistent, can't get any at all in our room. You are required to take your hiking boots off and leave them in a cavernous room with cubby holes as boots are not allowed inside, which is a huge hassle. There is a small restaurant, nice outdoor seating with good views of the scenic surroundings. For the group dinner everyone can get seconds. Homey and simple meal of puréed veggie soup, chicken (I got a drumstick, others got various other cuts) with fries and ratatouille, dessert a scoop of ice cream. Breakfast also pretty simple, but just one croissant each, too bad no seconds, as it was one of the best croissants so far.

They helped us decide where to ski each morning by looking at the cameras at each of the hills. Food: The food was excellent. Tasty French cuisine with simple recipes and excellent ingredients. The continental breakfast in the morning had lots of variety. Minus: ask for a room on the first floor rather than on the second.

The staff is incredibly attentive and accommodating, the rooms, while small, are comfortable and clean. The bathroom is relatively spacious and warm. I had the relief menu at Le Saint Nicolas downstairs the night I arrived. It was a special, memorable meal. The chef creates food that is inventive and beautifully presented and technically complex and also, somehow, comforting. The wine pairings from the sommelier are also excellent. This particular menu was an homage to the region - it celebrated the local produce and people. For example, the tea that is served as a palate cleanser is made of herbs harvested low in the mountains, a task traditionally carried out by old ladies in the region who cannot reach the herbs higher in the mountain that are used for génépi. It was earthy and layered and satisfying. I was pleasantly surprised, the next night, to find that the food at the bar upstairs, while more casual, is also outstanding. The chef's burger with Gruyère is the best burger I have ever had in my life. I cannot recommend au coin du feu enough. If you are thinking about staying there, do it. I have stayed in much more expensive hotels in Megève, and this one is my favorite. While the hotel does not have a jacuzzi or a pool, the service, food, and general environment (calm, cozy, and warm) is better than the larger, more expensive hotels.
