3 star Europe hotel. Hallways run down. Very loud due to think walls. I did like the wood work in the room and the bath was updated however the toilet was quite loud needs to be fixed and they could care less when I mentioned it.

Lovely little hotel right by the town centre . Our room was large modern and very clean . Good to have the fridge and kettle and bathroom was very modern and spotless.
Around 7 minute walk to the bus which is essential to get to the slopes . Small ski and boot cellar which was dry and quiet .
Would definitely recommend.

Honestly the hotel itself is fine and the people working there were great. But be prepared that it's going to be super loud. It's hot in the summer, there's no AC so you want to have the windows open. However, there is so much noise coming from the street and the surrounding bars. My first night there was loud music playing nearby all night. The second night people were hanging out at the hotel bar outside. If there's no noise from people, there's the river. Bring earplugs if you'll be staying here in the summer. Otherwise it's a good hotel, centrally located and my room was cute and had a balcony.

The city centre location of the hotel is perfect for both convenience of shops and restaurants as well as walking distance to both gondolas in Chamonix.

Our room had incredible views of the mountains and lovely sound of the river flowing past.

Small room with amazing views in a great location

Had a single room during winter & ski season.
Clean tiny room but my top floor east facing room #46 had incredible views of the mountains and Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi when it was not cloudy
The room had an equally tiny balcony with chair which would be fabulous in warmer weather.

Heat was good.

Bathroom was nice with a rainfall shower plus a handheld and an appreciated temperature control although at times the water took an incredibly long time to heat up (minutes!) but once it warmed up it stayed constant duty temperature control.

Bed was comfortable enough

Nice to have a wardrobe into which the chair was stored
The safe was appreciated although it was very small, good enough to store your passport and a pocketbook

There was a small refrigerator with a few beers, ice teas, water and soda priced between 2.50 - 2.70 euros.

The wifi internet was great until it stopped working and the reception did not attempt to fix it or look into it.

Breakfast was good with mini viennoiseries (croissants and pain au chocolat) ; a variety of breads; a couple of cheeses and meats; fromage blanc. yogurt and fresh and canned fruits; muesli , corn flakes etc; coffee machine with a variety of choices and juices

Breakfast was eaten in the hotel's ground floor Irish pub

Location was great, just 2 short streets grim the pedestrian only commercial zone. The hotel was situated next to the Arve river and it is possible to have rubber views while having breakfast

Reasonably comfort with good location in Chamonix

Stayed at the La Vallee Blanche hotel for a few days recently. Hotel has some charm and was warm and cozy. The walls are tired with flaking stucco and the curtains in our room were very faded and dusty. The location is handy as long as you don't have a car. The staff we encountered varied from very helpful and friendly to not so much. Breakfast was average and the price was good by comparison. We paid $300 a night so the \"Motel 6\" quality was a little shocking.

Could be a real Gem, but needs TLC

The location is superb, Alex on the front desk was really friendly and couldn’t help enough.
My frustration with the hotel is that with a bit of TLC it could be brilliant. The Irish theme bar is dated and has no real sense of purpose. It would not take much to freshen it up as a bar/coffee shop. Lots of passing trade and close to town centre.
The rooms were fine although lift not working.
Overall, I would stay again as the price point is good, but I’d love for the owners to find their confidence and invest in the place.

You can choose to walk all the way up to the gondola base but it's uphill for half way. Quick check in and out. Bed was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was a bit small but clean. I got a room on the 4th floor facing the mountain (north) with a small balcony. It was a dump site right across the street and I could hear the sound from all beer bottle dropping to the bins throughout the night but I am not a light sleeper so I slept well.

The hotel is central and convenient for the station. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very good - a decent size and comfortable with a mountain view from the balcony.. The ski room was well heated. The downside was the bedroom was on the front of the hotel and the windows were old and did not insulate effectively against outside noise.

best deal in the heart of Chamonix

the hotel staff was very nice and the hotels.com price was the best deal. Brand new updated rooms are great and the rooms are relatively insulated from any street noise. they were filming a movie all night outside one night and the crew didn't bother me too bad, the blackout curtains really help. the river also makes great white noise if you want to open a window and get fresh mountain air. breakfast was good for europe. In the US it would be a bit pricy, but given the cost of the nearby restaurants 12 euro was fair. both the girl at the desk and Alex the owner spoke good English and they were exceptionally polite and helpful. only a 30 second walk to good dining, gear rental shops, and the markets.
