The hotel itself is amazing, the pool, the interesting carpets and the staff were all great and extremely helpful, definitely a 4 star service. The rooms however didn’t feel like they matched the hotel they felt small and dated with the windows having mold on them and heavily weathered wood. Overall would return

Excellent breakfast. A cool trendy place to stay. My son liked it. Premium room was a little small and dated but over clean and comfortable. Very hot but opening back windows gives noise and interruptions at all times of tonight as people smoke and hangout loudly back by the back entrance. That was frustrating.

A really nice party hotel, but not for anyone looking for a good night's sleep. The hotel is perfectly situated near the center of Chamonix, with hiking trails right around the corner. The building itself is lovely, and the breakfast is good. Our kids loved the pool! However, the hotel is as much a collection of restaurants and clubs—with partying lasting well into the early hours—as it is a place to stay. Unfortunately, our room lacked air conditioning, and the soundproofing was poor, with thin walls separating us from other rooms and the corridor. We didn't get much sleep during our stay, even though we had been assigned a room far away from the actual party area. That said, for anyone visiting Chamonix to party, this hotel is perfect.

Room was basic but perfect for two nights! DJ and singers were amazing in the evening and the location of the hotel was perfect. They didn’t warn us that there was a £200 deposit when you get to the hotel and they only accepted a physical card, so make sure you have this as you could get very stuck.
