The free breakfast was great. Having the option for a packed lunch and for dinner was also incredibly convenient. We had dinner one night and it was a full 3-course meal and very nice to have the opportunity to meet other travelers. The staff were kind and helpful. It was in a beautiful location and we enjoyed our stay.

I stayed here for 5 nights in July. I booked a double room with shower, just for myself. The room was basic but very clean and comfortable. A shower and a sink with two single beds. Very comfortable with clean bed linen. Breakfast was basic but plentiful, I eat my fill every morning. The accommodation was perfect for my needs, as I was walking each day and just needed comfortable and affordable accommodation each evening. I will definitely stay here again. The bus service was very convenient, with a stop beside the hostel with buses every 30 minutes.

Really great hostel with perfect views of mont blanc! However was very loud at night one night despite the noise curfew due to some teens running around and screaming till early hours of the morning. Apart from this it is faultless! Definitely recommend.

Perfect place with wonderful mountain view. Enough space for parking. Very basic breakfast. Option to buy a dinner is helpful (it is a little bit too late, in our opinion-but we understand when people are coming back from mountains rather later not earlier), Place can be noisy, especially when there is a group of teenagers, but ...it is a hostel. You can rent a towel. There is free bus every 30 min, which takes you center of Chamonix (need to ask for card at reception desk). Recommend it for few nights.

This was the worst stay I’ve ever had at any hostel, ever. The only good thing about this place was the ability to leave at the end. I booked a private room with a private bathroom, yet I was placed in a room that had no toilet!! Not only that, the room had the smell of urine throughout it which was disgusting. It was also so hot, yet you couldn’t open the windows because bugs would come through. No privacy as people would constantly walk past the windows. I had little school kids who were looking inside constantly!! The breakfast wasn’t an actual breakfast. The shared toilets (which I shouldn’t have had to use) were absolutely disgusting. I would highly recommend that anyone who comes to chamonix to not stay in this place.

離市中心火车站三公里/市南兩公里,最近的火车距离900米,2号巴士可直达旅館,入住期间免费乘坐火车(Vallorcine和Servoz 之间),亦可购买巴士多天通行证。早餐七点至九点半,芝士,酸奶,麵包,牛油,果醬,蜂蜜,麥片,水果,果汁,牛奶,咖啡,茶,沒有肉,沒有鳮旦。有冰箱,微波炉,电热水壶,还有西式红茶包提供。房间和睡床一般整洁,花洒热水是按压出水,溫度算可以。職員热情和友善解决问题。有很多团队入住,但都很有秩序。有放币的洗衣和行李寄存服务,我觉得是愉快的入住体验。

J'ai passé un très bon séjour, étant handicapé j'avais peur d'avoir quelques problèmes, mais a part une dizaine de marches au début, tout le reste étais accessible sans soucis. Le personnel est très convivial et toujours a votre écoute. Franchement je recommande cette établissement la vue est tout simplement magnifique, au pied du mont blanc et a 20mn a pied de chamonix. C'était génial. Merci

Achtung! Schlafen sie hier nicht! Das Gemeinschaftsbad ist sehr klein und voller Schimmel. In den Zimmern klebt überall Kaugummi und das Frühstück ist traurig. Selbst für eine Jugendherberge sind die Standards hier quasi non-existent.
