Hotel Residel Annecy, Sévrier

Advantages: close to old town
Disadvantages: dirty,small noisy miserable staff

...This was not a very nice hotel. Arrived late afternoon, unable to locate the reception. Eventually got keys from the bar next door!! The stairs were dirty, the rooms small and not as described. Weather was cold and wet, but no heating turned on. The staff were miserable and unhelpful. Booking stated price was inclusive of breakfast, however when we checked out we were charged for breakfast. Very expensive, could have got a cheaper and nicer breakfast at a cafe. The only redeeming feature was Annecy itself,a very beautiful town even in the rain. Lots of very intersting buildings, shops and of course the lake. A short drive out and you have beautiful scenery and other interesting small towns. But would we go to this hotel again? No way....

The town is surrounded by the mountains and it has been constructed near to a lake. This two elements give us the chance to go skiing in winter and have a swim... Read review

...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
