You like it or you hate it. We liked it. The concept and the whole experience are just wonderfull. Many objects referring to our childhood made us instant happy. In comparison with other hotels, a stay at Rockypop is not cheap. It's obvious that the price is determined by the setting where you're in. However included in the price, you may expect a very friendly and english speaking staff (always available, rushing and running for the guests. They are a real added value for the hotel, for sure ), clean (but small double ) room, a tasty breakfast (small minus, the pancakes and bacon were most of the time not warm) free mineral water, free coffee and tea non stop, nice smelling shower soap, parking, games, pool table ... We loved the diner, juicy hamburgers, pizzas, but also more highstanding dishes available on the menu. Congrats to the kitchen for their flexbility (our son ordered an "oriental" without olives and eggplant and so he received his tailormade sample) and kudos for using home grown vegetables in some of their other dishes. After having walked or hiked, a homemade cocktail helps you to forget your tired feet (go and grab your -50 % happy hour drink between 17h-19h) The hotel is respecting the covid measures, which made us feel safe and comfortable. We'll come back if we're in the neighbourhood. Tx for the offered hapiness !

I'm unsure why they have a couple of recent bad reviews. The place is a little bit funky and attracts families but rooms are clean quiet and the food is ok. The breakfast is extensive and there is plenty of it. Staff were extremely helpful in the hotel and ski shop. You can hire all your equipment from the ski shop below reception and buy ski passes. There is also a courtesy bus provided by the hotel that takes you to most but not all the lifts. Public bus transport (which is free) stops outside although French bus time tables and routes remain a mystery to me.There is also a super market a 10 minute walk away. The hotel is a little remote which is why the restaurant is always fully booked. Taxi fare back from Chamonix after the buses stop is 30 euro minimum. It wasn't and extensive menu at the restaurant but reasonable selection at reasonable prices. They provide free bottled water in reception. Wifi was great. If you have small or young kids there are some things for them to do.

We were so impressed with the Rocky Pop. The mezzanine family rooms were excellent, with lots of storage and comfortable beds. The staff were all lovely, fluent in English and nothing was too much trouble. Cocktails were great, food exceeded expectations and the ambience was excellent. The contrast between Friday/Sunday nights and Saturday night was massive with the hotel full to bursting on Saturday night. Only slight hitch was we had booked half board and every night we had to battle for adult portions for our two boys who at 10 and 12 needed a full meal not half portions after a days skiing. We offered to pay extra but this seemed tricky and being given a dessert cut in half one evening didn’t impress. However on the final night the waiter was exceptional and he saw how silly the situation was and sorted for us. This is an excellent family friendly hotel, and would highly recommend. You need to be smart with bud times as they are only every half hour. But once you get used to this, getting to the slopes and back is easy.
