Booked this hotel because after a long car journey we wanted somewhere that had a restaurant. Got there and was then told restaurant was closed. Not good enough

Response from Arina G. on 26 Jun 2019
Dear guests, Let me apologize again that the restaurant was closed on the day of your arrival and that we did not tell it to you in advance. I hope you had a nice meal in the other restaurant nearby and that the rest of your stay at our residence was good. All the best wishes for you, Arina G., reception

Fantastic location
The hotel was clean and tidy, the rooms are comfortable, although this is a large hotel it was very peaceful even at meal times. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would fully recommend. Excellent value for money. We hope to visit again soon.

Great location!
What a great quiet place to stay, away from everything, beautiful, peaceful and nice. Rooms were small but we only needed the room for sleeping so it was not a problem. Showers were great, place was clean. Loved the local surrounding area!

Nice hotel in adventurous location
Came to Chamonix to ski at Mont Blanc and stayed at le Fontenay. Had a lovely stay but visitors should be warned that the hotel is at the top of a mountain, with steep winding roads (often without guardrails) in a region that gets heavy snow all the time. Visitors should not attempt to go without good snow tires and chains.

Great experience
To be honest i expected less for a 2 star hotel but we found a family friendly hotel with great staff , clean rooms, very large parking,daily cooked food at reasonable prices the only issue i had was the shower cabin 600x600 that was to small for me, the hotel is located 3 min drive from the ski slopes at Plaine Joux and less then 30 min drive from St Gervais and Chamonix ski resorts and beautiful town of Megeve.

Secluded hotel in the mountains
Room was pretty small but functional. It didn't cost us a fortune to stay within 10 kms from Chamonix, where the similar accommodation would be 5 times more expensive. Both our GPS had problem locating the place using the address but gave good directions if chosen from POI list. You need a car to get there. Great view of the valley if the weather is clear. Accommodation very basic but everything worked well. The only negative thing I can mention - dirty floor in the room, the soles became black momentarily.

Excellent service and value, beauriful location
Hotel itself is a bit old fashioned and in need of some modernisation, but as a place to stay for a few nights has a nice quiet location with wonderful mountain views. Service of the staff was fantastic. Rooms are fairly basic but do the job and I don't think you can expect much more for the price

Overnight stop
Large older place.We ended up booking a Studio because ordinary rooms supposedly full but place empty when we arrived and approx 6 vehicles in carpark night we stayed. Sort of place that needs people to bring it alive particularly given the size of the place.

Good location. Decent place.
remote location, away from the noise and gorgeous views. Make sure you know how to get to the location or research it on the Sat Nav. Our nav took us to a different location and we had to then spend time looking for the correct destination. It's not fun in late evening in with no assistance around as it's a remote location. The hotel's got a well worn look and could do with a makeover but for the price paid, there's no complaints. The room included a tiny kitchenette and was spacious. Tiny bathrooms.

It is not a Hotel, it is a residence.
We were allocated an apartment, one room with double bed, one bunk bed in the kitchen and sitting room with TV. The Bathroom was small with very tight shower, difficult to get in and out. The room was facing the mountains, thus we enjoyed great view and natural beauty. The Hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, no shops, restaurants or any recreational place near by. The nearest place for shopping or eating was Passy Town. Up the mountain there was the launching place for paragliding. If you love solitude, this is the best place to be. In the first week of June there were not many residents, thus the place was deserted. I loved it.

Vous etes a 27 kms de chamonix. Seul bémol surtout ne pas rentrer de nuit. La route est dangereuse. Beaucoup de virages et sur quelques kilometres qui paraissent interminables vous n'avez plus qu'une voie. Donc de nuit sans visibilité dans les virages avec des voitures qui viennent dans lautres sens... imaginez... Sinon rien a dire sur l'établissement. Petit déjeuner très copieux

Fantastyczny
To miejsce jest fantastyczne. Obsługa hotelu była świetna. Bardzo polecamy kolacje - lepsze i dużo tańsze niż na mieście!!! Codzienne śniadania były idealnym początkiem dnia, był naprawdę duży wybór. Widok z okna był fantastyczny, rano gdy się obudziliśmy pół godziny robiliśmy zdjęcia - przepiękna panorama. Dostaliśmy od hotelu upgrade pokoju na apartament - z kuchnią z pełnym wyposażeniem, było to bardzo wygodne. Czysto, wszystko działało jak należy. Parking jest darmowy, w całym hotelu i pokojach jest dobrze działające wifi - również za darmo. Uwaga zimą - wszystko jest idealnie odśnieżone, ale jest ślisko - aby się dostać trzeba mieć opony zimowe. Bardzo się cieszę, że wybraliśmy ten hotel, było wspaniale. Serdecznie pozdrawiamy całą obsługę, szczególnie recepcję. Ola i Patryk

Agréable séjour en famille
L'appartement était très propre et bien équipé. Impeccable pour 5 personnes (lit d'appoint installé dans le séjour). Le personnel très agréable. Hotel bien situé pour des balades en montagne. Il serait plus rassurant de remplacer la serrure de l'appartement (simple clef type porte intérieure de maison). L'isolation phonique de la porte d'entrée est à améliorer. Un point négatif : l'hôtel accepte les chiens. Nous avons donc eu droit un concert le matin.
