  : When I made the reservation, I was told that check in time was 3:00. We were traveling in the offseason, which we didn't know when we visited Switzerland and France, and many hotels and restaurants were closed and wouldn't open up until late May or June. We felt like we had the whole country to ourselves. After I made the reservation, I received an email from the hotel asking us what time we would arrive. I said we would be arriving before 3:00 p.m., anywhere from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. I received an email back that check-in was at 3:00 but they would do their best to get us in earlier. We ended up arriving around 2:00 p.m. . Every other hotel we stayed in while visiting Switzerland and France was able to get us into our room early because they were empty. The weather was terrible, the drive was rough, I got car sick, we got to the hotel around 2:00 and all I wanted to do was go to the room and lay down but our room wasn't ready. I was surprised because the whole town was shut down. The hotel bar and restaurant weren't even open. Nobody was in this town. It's not like they were booked up. I think there were maybe four other people staying at the whole hotel. Furthermore, our room wasn't ready until about 3:20. They offered us each a glass of wine while we waited for our room and I thought that was nice but when we checked out they charged us for it. They didn't have adequate coffee supplies in the room for the coffee maker and breakfast was an additional $26 per person which we didn't want to pay. The hotel room was okay, the bathroom was great, it was very small for what we pay. But the check-in experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. I know there were rooms available that he could put us in and we were so tired and only asking to check in 1 hour early. The map the front desk said check in time was at 4:00 but I went back and revisited the reservation and my reservation said 3:00. We just didn't feel welcome

  : Breakfast and pool and free transfer to ski lift
  : We left the hotel two days early when the weather turned bad, because we did not find that there was anywhere comfortable to relax and pass the time in the hotel. The pool area was nice but we couldn't get a treatment in the spa as there were no available times. The pool water should be warm so it;s pleasant to be in the outside part in the freezing cold. The bar area needs comfortable chairs to relax in.

  : Everything about this hotel was exceptional
  : Rooms could be a little more refined to match the rest of the hotel and bathroom.

  : The staff was very nice and helpful. The spa was wonderful.
  : However the room and the hotel in general lacked a warm or charming atmosphere, as I would expect from a hotel in Chamonix.

  : The staff was amazing, welcoming and helpful.The pool was so cool and cozy with the jacuzzi.The location was great and near to everything (train station and city center).Room was so clean and well organised.
  : The fridge noise that will drive you crazy if you don't turn it off at night.The pool location was outside and you will have to walk through the freezing cold weather to get to it.The breakfast price is kinda expensive for one person so i didn't try it.Overall i expected a bigger room and hot free drinks for a 300 euro plus night.

  : Albert has created a magical hotel for any traveller. It goes back many decades and the owners have ensured the hotel is always kept up to date and to the highest of standards. The bus from the hotel to the ski slopes (available on the spot, not predefined times!!) was probably the one detail that made my trip so much easiser. The spa area and the pool were out of this world. Finally, the location was exceptional too, practically in the middle of the town centre.
  : The hotel has two restaurants, one Michelin star one and one "traditional one". They both operate at different days (at any given day, only one of them is open). I would have appreciated the "traditional" restaurant to have had much better prices. Also, the breakfast was too simple to justify the cost of 35 euros per person.
