Great Alpine Road, France hotel rooms at the Independent

"Immaculate hotel with great staff. First time in Chamonix, and everyone went out of their way to make it a great stay. Ski shop team was great help in navigating the various areas and transfers. "

"Excellent stay and ideal location. Thoroughly recommended 👌"

"Na"

"Everything good except for the restaurant. Food is good, staff is OK, manager is rude and almost nasty."

"The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town. Very walkable and close to lots of lovely shops and restaurants. Spoiled for choice! Parking was 50% off at the Hotel de Ville parking garage which was helpful. We paid about €6. The breakfast room was very nicely appointed, and the breakfast had a good selection. We stayed on a Monday and the bar is closed in a Monday so we didn’t experience that. The rooms are a little tired and I would say small however they way they are put together, including an interior door and the bathroom backing on to the bed wall, means that you don’t hear other guests coming and going, so that was a real plus. Annecy is a stunning town. We will be back!"

"Magnificent views of the lake. Clean spacious rooms. Very friendly staff. The walk to town along the lake shore is fantastic "

"Great location walkable to city center"

"Beautiful hotel, obviously a bit pricey considering its a Fairmount and the location but the view was absolutely stunning from the room. "

"Overall, we were a little bit disappointed with our stay at L’Arveyron. When we first got there, the staff was very nice and helpful which was great, but before we walked into our room they mentioned they were having a "barbecue" outside that night. Our room was right above reception and rather than a barbecue it was more of a massive party outside and in the libby of the hotel with a DJ and karaoke. We were happy to put up with people having a good time, but once it got to midnight and we were prepared to wake up at 6am to ski the next morning we were very annoyed that we weren't informed of how loud it would be. Neither of us slept the first night we were there and we even used noise canceling headphones to try to tune it out and nothing helped. We understand that the spot is not advertised as quiet, but we were definitely falsely told about the plans for the evening. The room itself was pretty nice for the most part, but the shower has a lot of mold on the shower head, and also on the bottom of the door there was a bunch. Location wise we enjoyed the spot, but overall if we were to come back to Chamonix again, I would choose this as the last place I would want to stay. "
