I was truly delighted by Chalet Hôtel La Sapinière. I wanted to find a reasonably priced hotel that was close to a lift, close to ski buses, an easy walk to downtown Chamonix, and with an amazing view of the mountains. Chalet Hôtel La Sapinière was absolutely perfect. It has that wonderful casual feeling that you don't find in a corporate hotel (I especially loved the cubby boxes where you drop off your key when you go out for the day). Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful, especially Mandy (sorry if I'm getting the name wrong). She gave me directions and bus schedules, found an extra pair of gloves when ours went temporarily missing, and helped cancel a lunch reservation when our group was having trouble meeting up for lunch. We had a triple room that was small but comfortable. I didn't mind the size because it had floor to ceiling windows with an astonishing view of the mountains. One warm day we had lunch on the balcony. I appreciated the kettle for making tea. The bathroom was newly renovated. The boot warming room and ski storage room were very convenient. We enjoyed reserving the jacuzzi for after dinner. Breakfast was delicious, in a very large, beautiful room. It wasn't a huge selection, but everything was excellent, especially the croissants and bread. There were concerts in the lobby bar two nights we were there -- people seemed to be enjoying themselves. The nursery slope lift wasn't open in late March (no snow!), so my plans of walking to the lift or skiing back were foiled. You could probably walk to the Planpraz gondola, serving Brevent, but the bus stop is literally in front of the hotel, and it seemed to come every five minutes. The bus stop for other ski areas was only a block away. The hotel is just off a main street, with plenty of shops and restaurants within a few blocks. If you don't like a quirky old building, this isn't the place for you. But I hope to be back!

Family hotel with amazing view of the mountains, close to the city center (5 min walk) and yet very quiet, wonderful breakfast (delicious bread, and pastries)

No lift especially if your staying on the top floor

Location, excellent spread of breakfast. Staffs were very helpful. Loved the sauna

The coffee and the absence of a fridge in the room.

It is a well taken care of hotel, in a beautiful and superb location: walking distance form the pedestrian area of Chamonix, but quiet with a view on the paraglider’s landing area and on the mountains. Parking on the premises. Ski and separate boot room, lovely sunny lounge with nice drinks, i loved the vin chaud. My room was at the top and it was a spacious and cosy room with a beautiful view. Everyone was very helpful and kind and they went out of their way to help me when i hurt my knee and had limited mobility. The hotel has personality: please don’t change it!

A little far from the city center if you’re feeling lazy. But if you’re not, it’s a nice walk without being too close too close to the loud apres scene.

Service was absolutely amazing. Every one who served or helped was very helpful and very friendly. No one made me feel bad about asking too many questions. I was able to get a lot of information about how conditions might be for the next day and where to ski based on the likelihood of lifts being closed. Also, super helpful with getting information on which buses to take to go where. Best part is that right in front of the property is a bus stop that will take you to Brevent. Barely need to walk. Additionally, there is a ski rental shop just down the street.

Can’t think of anything

Perfect for a stay in Chamonix - a few minutes’ walk into the main town. Comfortable, clean with amazing views from our balcony. Staff welcoming and helpful - very cosy place.

We needed ice as there was no mini bar fridge in our room that was the only thing missing.

Breakfast was simple but good. There was a little bit of everything.

Lovely hotel with very friendly staff. We loved the mountain view from our room and whilst having breakfast. It felt very quiet as it was slightly out of the main town area, but just 1 bus stop to the main ski lift. A perfect stay and we hope to return!

We enjoyed every aspect of the property.

We loved the convenient location close to town center and multiple bus lines, our spacious room and the warm hospitality of the hotel’s staff. An added bonus was the spectacular view from our room which really was unbeatable! Everyone at La Sapinière went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We’ll definitely be back!

The breakfast, just the minimum, can not even get eggs as per request

Location, the bed, the design, the staff

There was nothing I did not like….it is a very quiet hotel which serves breakfast only. There is a bar on site but it is a very short walk into town to all the bars and restaurants for the evenings or lunch.

Lovely location, hotel was spotless and staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Big shout out to Will in particular 😊

It’s 5min walking time to the cable car for Brevent-Flegere

Stayed in February 2024

The hotel was about 10 minutes' walk from the city center.

The hotel was nice and cozy and had a good vibe. One of the evenings there was a singer at the bar. The outside jacuzzi was fun, although you had to brave into the cold in order to get to it.

The hotel should notify the future quests that there is no elevator in the hotel and for persons with reduced mobility that is important.

Breakfast was excellent good choices of food.

Stayed in January 2024

Great location not far from Brevent/ flegere although we drove 5 mins to Les Grand Montets every day. Breakfast was great and the rooms were excellent, at least as good as any 4 star hotel we've had in Chamonix. Bathroom was fresh and lovely, much better than 4 star hotels we've been in in Chamonix. Staff were friendly and helpful. Outdoor hot tub a big hit along with the sauna. All round excellent hotel, we will be back.

Great atmosphere and decor. The bus is near the hotel and it has it own parking as well.

Fabulous hotel. The staff, Mandy, Pascal and Will are absolutely amazing and can not do enough to help you. Nothing was too much for them and they bent over backwards for us. The location is excellent, we were a mixed age group and the location meant that everything was walking distance. From google maps it looked quite far out, but that is definitely not the case. The bus stop is right outside the hotel, and if there is snow in the village you can ski right to the front door. Could not fault this hotel!

Just a little far from bus station. A little further out from center but walkable for sure.

Beautiful location with stunning views. Very clean and cozy room . Small but the full bath was a treat.
