    Nice budget hotel in a convenient location for the bus into town.

    Hotel du Lacs is a long-ish walk from town, so if that matters to you then stay closer to the centre. We didn't mind this, but if you're staying longer than a few days you might want to choose somewhere in town. No shops or restaurants nearby, although the hotel next door does have a lively bar and restaurant. If you need to eat then this is always an option. Would have been nice to have hot drinks facilities in the room, a kettle would be a nice touch. Also maybe options for food storage so we could make simple dinners in the evenings - but this is more a nice to have. As a budget hotel you don't tend to expect this, but would be very useful.

    Nice little hotel, a little dated but perfectly fine for us. Views across to the mountains from the room a nice touch. The owners were lovely, and the hotel itself was pretty quiet and made a good base at the end of the day. Rooms are on the smaller side, but perfectly fine for 2 friends or a couple to share. We paid extra for the breakfast buffet which was simple but good. Staff were attentive and we thought the food was good quality and was more than adequate for our needs. There are no cafes or restaurants nearby, so we opted to take the breakfast most mornings. Hotel 1 minute from the bus stop with buses every 30 mins to the main ski lifts in both directions. Around 15-20 minute walk from town as an alternative option. The hotel also has a boot room outside for keeping your skis etc, which was also good. Overall we enjoyed this hotel and for the budget price we can definitely recommend.

    We had a very pleasant stay at this well located, clean and affordable hotel. The only improvement we can think of would be more power sockets (e.g. with extension via multiple plugs) near the bed. But this is not a big problem as there were several plugs in total along with the bathroom.

    Had a loud bar next door so was kept up a bit, but they quietened down not too late thankfully.

    Amazing views from the room window. Staff also friendly and helpful. Bus stop across the road to take free bus into town (5 mins).

    Even though the site says that wifi is included, the wifi quality left a lot to desire. And though you seemed connected to wifi, the connection was very weak and you could not use any apps.

    The breakfast was complete with everything it says will be included. The location is just like 10 meters away from the bus stop, so that is great. They have a space where you can storage your ski/snowboard equipment. And the staff is very friendly!

    Lovely hotel, not far from the town center, very friendly host, we have been checking in very late and she has made it so easy for us. Great family room with additional bedroom for kids, very comfortable, very warm, clean, and great bathroom. Breakfast was ready when we went downstairs, although we only had a coffee and kids few toast, it was overall great

    WiFi connection was continuosly going up and down, what I think is a bit unconfortable and inexplicable nowadays. If you are a "reasonable" person who doesn't need to be always online or need it to keep planning your trip, this is not a problem though.

    The staff is very nice and kind.

    one minor issue is the Verte Lodge on the N side of the hotel. frequented by poorly behaved British ex pats who party late into the night, totally inconsistent with the values and behaviour of the Chamonix valley.

    excellent location. beautiful views. amazing staff, especially Fabienne who assisted us enormously. she went out of her way to collect us from Chamonix hospital after my partner fell whilst hiking. so helpful at the hotel. a wonderful experience

    The bar next door had load music but turned it of at 21:30, so seem to be respectful of neighbours. The local convenience store across the river is a 10min walk at best.

    A quieter location than the town centre, but walkable to Chamonix in 10-15 mins. Comfy and clean rooms, good Continental breakfast.
