La Chapelle-d'Abondance Trip

Isabela and the rest of the staff were all great. They recommended the affiliated restaurant (Irma) located right in front of them - and that was really good as well (big thanks to Emma). The place is in what I consider a really great location at one end of Lake Annecy with a fantastic view across the length of the lake. A bicycle rental shop 2 minutes away is a GREAT way to get around the lake to Old Annecy with clear bicycle paths along huge stretches of the lake. My son a d I really loved our time here, and we lucked out with nice weather, only raining a bit when we checked out to move on to Switzerland. Couldn't really have asked for much more.

Room are very small byt the staff are very good and helpful.

Walkable with suitcase from main station. Reception has been upgraded but rooms remain as per photos. Has most of what you need except for laundry facilities although there are plenty of self serve laundries nearby

I checked in late with the machine that prints your cards for you right outside the main door, very simple. I didn't have enough time to book the parking spots but was able to find parking on the road nearby and it's just down the street from Poste parking garage. Street parking is free from 7pm-9am M-F and Sundays/Holidays. The washing machine also comes with laundry soap already so you don't have to buy any. You just need to get coins from the front desk (I forget how much a load costs maybe 5 euros). The bed and pillows are SUPER comfortable I slept very well. It's a beautiful short walk to the lakefront through the old town. I didn't partake in the breakfast nor the gym but I will be back!

Room was clean and it had basic amenities, however room was smaller than advertised
