Very quaint and homey, perfect for two travelers looking for a cheap stay near the Chamonix area. Fabienne and the rest of the staff were kind and accommodating, evidenced by them working with us when we encountered bus and flight delays. Rooms were cleaned daily. Additionally, you have the option to pay the first day you arrive or the last (if you plan on taking advantage of the hotel breakfast, it’s easier to pay upon checking out). Would stay again if we decide to journey out to Chamonix. Great overall experience!

Great 5 night stay.

Good budget option in Chamonix, just a 20 min walk into the town, in a nice location next to a lake and the start of a woodland walk, giving another longer option to get into town. Great value breakfast and friendly helpful staff. Wifi worked just fine. Staff made sure I d have no issues getting to my room late at night , after staff had gone home. Would consider staying here again.

Comfortable stay

The location of Hotel des lacs is perfect for someone who wants to be in Chamonix for UTMB because downtown is only a short walk giving easy access to race activities and restaurants. The Hotel is located across the street from a beautiful park with a little lake. Our room was clean quiet and simple. Breakfast was available for a small additional charge. The staff was friendly and helpful. We felt at home.

No lake hotel!

Very small room and bed. Also, small bath and shower. No tea or coffee in the room. No real lake in front as name suggests. Only a small pond.

A room with view

We had a great time at the Hotel Les Lacs. The staff was superb and kind always in our requests. The room is simple, but comfortable and most important “warm”. The shower was deliciously hot. It’s really worth to take the breakfast, again simple but effective. Our room has a beautiful view to the Glacier, we never closed our curtains, during the night when we wake up, we just looked out to the Glacier reflecting the moon light, magical.

Nice cozy property with good location

Great location right on the bus line and very cozy accommodations. Room was clean and had a nice view of the valley. Good value for the money. The only thing I was lacking was shampoo and conditioner, but to be expected of a 2 star property.
