Alpina Hotel, Chamonix

Advantages: CENTRALLY LOCATED / OFF ROAD PARKING / FRIENDLY STAFF
Disadvantages: NO DISADVANTAGES

...my husband and myself stayed at this hotel for the first time in 2006, we were so impressed that this year we took another couple with us, and next year a larger prty of 9 - if there is availability. the hotel has plenty of car parking spaces, a heated boot room which is a seperate garaged area - secure and well lit. last visit the hotel did not have an alcohol license but this matters not as the centre of chamonix is just around the corner. rooms are very clean - and comfortable beds, baths fantastic - as was the bathroom as recently refurbished. the owners cannot be more helpful for example my husband left his jacket in wardrobe - and they posted it back to us. i would recommend this hotel... havent been for the summer season yet - but maybe next summer - but for sure - if you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel - we have...

Advantages: Les Balcons du Savoy hotel excellent, great variety of skiing, good snow, great nightlife...
Disadvantages: Buses slow and full

Advantages: a lot of things to do
Disadvantages: not much

...La Clusaz is absolute beauty. The atmosphere given out alone, gives such a lovely feeling. I will write a review to try and describe, as best I can, how wonderful this place is. ACCOMODATION - I stayed in 'Alpen Roc' which is litrelly right next the hustle and bustle of the town. i have been here in the summer and winter, so i have a fair assessment of what the place is like every season. The hotel I stayed in was very authentic, with a sense of being in a large cabin, with beautiful flowers and greenery everywhere. The hotels around the town and area, tenede to blend in with the surroundings, for example, log like buildings, colourful flowers e.t.c... and it wasn't like the typical overly elaborate city hotels. It makes you feel at home and the rooms, were all wonderful, every single room had a balcony, which allowed you to view... Read review
