no toilet roll was provided, no cleaning service and we had to clean our own room when leaving, even the bathroom. Room was checked when leaving and then was refunded our £200 deposit. No alcohol was allowed in building. Only 1 receptionist spoke little English so if your cannot speak French take a dictionary. Pretty much ruined our holiday this... More

Good accommodation close to the main bus stop and centre with easy access to the slopes. Well equipped if not a little basic with very helpful staff but be aware the reception is only open a certain times. Only negative was the internet which you pay extra for but my experience was poor as it did not work well but... More

We stayed here at the end of the season, early April 2013. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The balocny had fantastic views over Mont blanc and we could see the cable cars going up and down from the Aiguille du midi. It is right in the centre of Chamonix and a public transport pass was included in the room... More

We stayed here at the start of March 2013. The appartment was very spacious, with bunk beds immediately to your right as you went in, and a double sofa bed in the open plan kitchen/living area. The kitchen was equipped extremely well with everything we needed considering we cooked all but one night of our stay. The beds were very... More

We stayed here in February in one of the "2 bedrooms for 6/7 people". We were four guys all 6' so were worried about the size of the bunks after some of the reviews here but have to say it was absolutely perfect for us! There was a small room with a bunk in it that was fine for two... More

Located in Chamonix Sud it is close to the bus stop that get's you to where you need to be for the various lifts. You wouldn't want to walk to the Brevant lift so this is perfect. It has several good bars for drinks and food nearby and with a 5 minute walk you are on the main drag into... More

It's apparent that this is budget accommodation, but this really is basic. The beds are awful, i wouldn't even give the pillows to a homeless person, they're that bad. They charge 10Euros to use the safety deposit box in the room, which is a joke. If all you want is somewhere to go when you're not skiing and don't mind... More

The hotel is situated near the bus stop Chamonix Sud, this is the central bus stop at Chamonix. 300 meters from the center. Location is just great! Double bed is not very comfortable, bed in the entrance is great. Kitchen is well equipped. There is everything you need. Isolation is not very good. Sometimes it was a little bit cold.... More

The staff and location is really good. However, there is no proper bed. Honestly, there isn't a bed! (only a bed settee which is so uncomfortable, it is better to "sleep" on the floor). Also, the building is so poorly insulated, the light outside meant the room was never dark and the noise was unbearable - expect to be woken... More
