The rooms were not cleaned during our stay. Not a huge issue over four days, but might be over a week, with a few in the room. Had to ask at reception for extra loo roll etc.
Breakfast was €10 which was OK, plenty of coffee, juice, bed croissant cereals and boiled eggs. The accommodation is cheap for Megeve.
The hotel is very close to McDonalds, a supermarket, pharmacy and pizza takeaway. The walk into town is about 15 minutes along what is a busy road, for half that time. We didn't attempt the walk in ski boots - too painful I think.
If you are after relatively cheap accommodation in Megeve and are not bothered by a bracing walk in the morning to the ski shop (leave boots and skis overnight) and lift - this is great for you.
This place is great if you want self catering, cheap and don’t care about comfort. A family would struggle with the limited space. Not for those who want to have value for money but expect B&B. At £85 per night it is really, really cheap but if the weather hadn’t been as good as it was and the amazing conditions it would have ruined my holiday.
Here’s why:
First room we were offered was an ‘apartment’ with a tiny room with bunk beds and the main bed was a sofa bed with a wafer thin mattress in the lounge area! Nope. We don’t do camping anymore.
Second room (012) was a studio apartment on the ground floor at the back of the ‘hotel’, the ‘bedroom’ was tiny, the bed was off the floor by 3 feet (think princess and the pea) you had to use a stool to get into / out of bed! The bed was so small with a well in the middle of the mattress you rolled on top of each other (and not in a romantic way) and using the bedroom for anything that other than sleeping was impossible, the mattress was as hard as a board so we slept really badly for the whole week, tough when your skiing.
Breakfast was a complete rip off. Advertised as €9 but charged at €10 for boiled egg, croissant, really horrible coffee and bread roll. No ham and cheese or anything cooked.
Facilities - no one looked at our room for a whole week, it was dirty and there was a disgusting sponge and a drop of washing up liquid someone had left behind to wash up with, we had to buy things such as loo roll and soap and use a huge pan to boil water as there was no kettle - not what we were expecting for a ‘hotel’! I had to ask for extra towels and the bedding was stained and didn’t get changed once the whole week we were there. The sheets also didn’t fit the bed which meant you had to make the bed every time you got in it! Everything was just tired and uncared for. The corridors were tired and only hoovered once, same pile of crumbs stayed put for 5 days! 3 of our party were sharing an apartment advertised for 6, there were only three cups and the dishwasher didn’t work.
Hot water - what’s that??!!! We had 2 days without it and one of our party didn’t have ‘hot’ water until the last day, it had been luke warm and needed topping up with a kettle every time you wanted a bath! Heating not great, we didn’t feel warm the whole week.
Reception area was really tired and you wouldn’t want to spend any time in it.
The caretakers (I say that as they clearly had no interest in the success of the place or happiness of their guests) who are looking after the place were miserable, rude and unhelpful. They also have their whole family there so small children running around. When I went to notify the caretaker we had no hot water, he made me wait for 10 mins while he was chatting on the phone without acknowledging I was there and when he got off the phone, he laughed and said whole building was cold, I said ok, how long? Shrugged his shoulders!!! Not what I was expecting.
The Hotel Dog - great big Alsatian who wakes up everyone at the front of the ‘hotel’ at 6.30 every morning by barking outside the ‘hotel’. It lives in the reception area, usually lies across the front door. Quite intimidating if your not a fan of dogs.
Security was non existent, there was a code on the front door but it was only locked once (see below), room keys in a basket or behind reception in an unlocked cabinet. No safe facilities in the rooms or reception. Rarely was there someone on reception. Watch out if you return late at night though, they do lock the front door at 10.30pm and changed the code without telling the guests! we couldn’t get in to the ‘hotel’ on our last night, luckily someone was leaving and let us in but the caretakers didn’t answer the door with repeated knocking and there was no phone or buzzer to get their attention.
Bar not open when you came back from dinner, we didn’t go in there but our friends did and said they wouldn’t spend time in there.
Tip - make sure your expectations are appropriate for staying here, it’s not a hotel or B&B of any kind.
The apartment has been recently redone but a lot of things are missing (light bulbs, washing up liquid, only half a roll of toilet paper)....
The outside of the hotel and the corridors are very run down and are in disparate need of renovation.
Following our complaint (for which we received no refund) they were forced by booking to add information that no towels or bed linen was provided, so at least new bookers don't get trapped.
Plus points
Good restaurant, La Marmotte
Carrefour is just next door

Parking usually available
Friendly
Negative points
'Walking' distance to Jaillet ski lift ie 15 minute walk (very difficult with children, skis & ski boots)
15 minute walk to the nearest bus stop to take you to the other resort lifts.
Old and run down in the corridors.
If we went to Megève again, we would stay in the centre and definitely nearer to the ski lifts.
We had a little apartment which was more spacious than we were expecting. There was a room with a small kitchen, a dining table and the bed and then another bunk room, and a separate bathroom. There was also a balcony off our room, we were at the back of the building facing away from the street and had a nice view of the mountains from the balcony. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed.
Residence Rent is right near a supermarket which was great for self-catering for some of our meals. It's very much self-contained accommodation, but the staff were always very happy to help when we asked.
The only comment was that the room could have been a bit cleaner, but other than that this was a really good option.
We loved our stay in Megeve and being able to enjoy the village and the skiing from this location.
