Hotel berhampiran Les Bossons, Chamonix

This hotel is located quite far away from Chamonix. We stayed here for two nights during Mont Blanc Marathon, since almost all hotels in Chamo center were fully booked. The hotel has a perfect location for few hikes: You can walk to Bossons glacier and Merlet animal park from the hotel. Both places are behind a good hike (2-5 hours). The breakfast was ok. The pool was closed due to fire :( Avoid rooms towards the motorway. This was a good budget option during a peak moment, but next time I shall stay closer to Chamonix.

Highly recommend this hotel for the value for money. Paid less than £200 for five nights in the 6 person shared dormitory which was better than expected. Your own private bed space is basically a coffin stacked 2 high but is fine and gives you privacy and you have your own power sockets in there for your phone etc. This dormitory had 1 + 1/2 baths which handy in case someone was taking a shower and you just need to pee - seemed to be cleaned daily! Free breakfast included which was help yourself you had consonants, butter / Jam, also bread and baguettes with meats and cheese in the fridge, also saw cereal! Free / unlimited Coffee from the machine but disappointed.. also seemed to taste like hot chocolate! Restaurant/ bar is nicely done good atmosphere and had the food which was tasty however food and drink as expensive there as is in central Chamonix which the Vert Lodge is not!

First let me say the hotel is lovely, the suite was great. From the photos I did expect there to be a separation between the sofa bed and the main bed so it must depend which suite they give you. Ours only had just enough space to walk between the two. Most of the staff are friendly and try to be helpful (see below). Breakfast was great. You can order ”snacking” from the bar until 6pm but then the restaurant doesn't open until 7pm. We didn't use the restaurant but we did have snacking one evening. The food was good but the woman serving at the bar was terrible. Not very polite, not very helpful, almost rude. Really not what you expect in such a classy hotel. After the food was delivered (by other staff) we asked her for cutlery because it didn't come with any.....she didn't do anything. In the end I reached into the restaurant and took some off one of the tables. When my wife shortly after reached in again and took a napkin the woman from the bar complained. The location I would call average. You can walk into a busier area of town in 10 minutes or so. There's one restaurant opposite called Little Boxes which we went to a lot, it does great pizza, hamburgers, drinks, etc. After booking the room I asked the hotel for help from with transfers, equipment hire and ski school for children. Transfers - expensive at 260 Euros each way but they were good. There was a problem with the return transfer being set at the time the flight departed but fortunately I checked the day before and changed it. Equipment hire - Skiset - is in the hotel. They also look after the equipment when you're not using it (see below). Ski School - ESF - very good, the problems arose due to the hotel being some distance from Les Plenards which is where the lessons take place. You have to get there by 9am. It's 20+ minutes walk which you can't do in boots while carrying skis. The bus stop is just opposite the hotel but the woman on reception I asked told me when the bus goes but said it takes 15 minutes and you have to change. So since Skiset doesn't open until 8.30 that doesn't leave enough time. But you have to get there well before 8.30 because there will be a queue. So we ordered a taxi for 30 euros. Turns out the buses go at 8.24 and 8.44 and take 7-10 minutes direct. In the hotel there's a sign which says no ski boots in the lift. So to get the 8.24 you have to ignore that or clomb up the stairs in your boots and carrying skis and then down again in the morning. Or you can collect your skis at 8.30 and catch the 8.44 - If you can get on it. The buses are great in terms of where and when they go, the problem is there's no queue system so every time it's a battle to get on the bus. It's worse at the end of the day because everyone is tired and desperate to get back and the bus doesn't always stop in the same place so because there's no queue system it's pot luck whether you get on it. Then when you're on it they're jam packed, trying to hold your skis, the bus pole and your

Location perfect, close to bus station, Aguille du Midi lift, city centre and yet in the quieter part of Chamonix. Rooms very clean, with comfortable bed, 2 nice pillows per person, Nespresso machine, fresh towels, good WiFi and a fabulous view of Mont Blanc. From the time we booked, we got good information and directions, reminders as the day gets nearer and quick reply when we ask something by mail. The prices were very good, too. During check-in time, we were met with friendly welcome from Fanny, with a genuine service mindedness. Whenever we have questions, she was always willing to help and with ready smile. Really one of the best customer services we have experienced in an European hotel. So if it was possible, I could have given this hotel 6 stars for staff, location, price and did i mention, its fabulous view of the alps?

Room is quite small but clean, bed is comfort. I love their live music on Saturday night. Free Arcade game. Lots of activity. The restaurant is full, need to book in advance. Love their decoration as me, 90's. Strongly recommend.

I am still at this hotel late in the skiing season from when I was hear previously. The hotel decor is funky and trendy. The hotel communication has been top notch from way before my stay and upon arrival. Special thanks go out to Michel Dubois front desk manager who has been nothing other than first class. If I was in the management of Plan B he would not be a member of staff I would want to see leave. Always cheerful and helpful and has a myriad of knowledge of the local facilities ranging from the best eateries to the best hiking. As to be expected this time of year the best skiing is in the morning and the hotel Is ideally situated by the Chamonix Sud bus stop. The hotel is a five minute walk to the main drag where there is a menagerie of different cuisines. I am mid way through my stay and decided to record what I have experienced thus far.

Let me confess that my previous experience of Ibis hotels on the Continent has been limited, and I'd not paid sufficient attention to the different Ibis sub-brands. So our stay at this Ibis Style was a revelation, and a pleasant one at that. We arrived just after midnight (after a race from the ferry at Genoa) and slightly fretting that things would be slightly shut-up, but none of it. A friendly welcome and assistance, then quickly off to our room. It was a comfortable 5-bed family room that coped with us and our two 20-something lads with ease. Thoughtful design (sockets and switches in all the right places) was very evident. The room was good value. And the breakfast was outstanding! Not too many french hotel breakfasts have me leaving nicely full, but this one did. Thoroughly recommended! And although we were just using the hotel as a one-night stopover, the village is gorgeous. We agreed that we must come back to stay a few days longer another time.

Très bon hôtel ! Situé au cœur de Chamonix et aux portes de l'aiguille du midi L'attention du personnel est impeccable et le spa est un vrai plus Le restaurant très bon un peu cher mais très bonne qualité

Nous avons séjourné dans un très bel établissement: service, personnel, installations, nourriture sans reproches. A conseiller vivement. A renouveler.

Long weekend stay with a group of friends. The hotel could not be better located in the centre of town. Yes the rooms are a little dated but they are spacious and clean. Breakfast was reasonable. The staff are all very friendly but special mention to Morgane on reception who was very helpful and with a sterling piece of detective work she managed to track down my skis that had been taken by someone else on the slopes.
