Loved it here! Amazing cozy, small hotel! Location is right in the center of it all, but feels like a tranquil rural area due to its location on quiet street. Riverfront site is a bonus: hear the soothing river flow at night, and stunning views of mountains from all room (although upgraded, riverside room views are more dramatic). Walk 1... more

You get what you pay for. Comfortable enough, but no frills. Quite a plain room with basic furniture. Good enough for one night. A short walk to the shopping centre and eateries. Great views of Mont Blanc. Lovely breakfast room and tasty breakfast. Lovely relaxing lounge area near reception. Reception was more businesslike than friendly. more

We arrived in Chamonix late in the afternoon and the Tourist Information referred us to this hotel. We were thrilled to find a hotel right in the centre of town with free parking right in front of the hotel. The rooms were of medium size very clean and well furnished with wireless internet access. The staff were helpful and friendly.... more

I was staying at the Hotel de L'Arve this week, unfortunately to attend a friend's funeral. Given the unpromising circumstances, I was really delighted with the hotel. It is the kind of slightly quirky old-fashioned hotel where the rooms are all a little different, and there's no chance at all of room service. However, for the price of €88 (it's... more

Nothing wrong with this hotel at all, it just annoys me that on tripadvisor people seem to rave about hotels that are just perfectly adequate- as was the case here. Our room was small, and the breakfast was simple, but when paying 80euros a night for a double room during winter in the centre of chamonix, what else do you... more

Great 3 star quality hotel. Exactly what you'd expect for your money. Simple clean rooms with modern bathrooms. Great little Sauna on the 1st floor. Breakfast was continental style and plenty of everything. Location at top of main street has ready access to everything town has to offer, but quiet location with good car parking. Easy to access from main... more

The Hotel de l'Arve is located in a great position within Chamonix town. It is situated along the river and is a very short stroll to the first bus stop serving the slopes in the area. It is in a quiet part of town but close enough to get to the lively night life. The hotel is skiing typical -... more

Jan 3rd, London Aftyer reading all the reviews I wonder how the hotel changed so much. The only good thing we found about it was the location (very central Chamonix). As we walked in a strong sewage smell hit us and followed us through the hall ways (worst in the elevator) and into our rooms. Some days it was so... more

This traditional 37 room alpine hotel has to be the best value in Chamonix. Our room #51 cost 84.70 Euro including taxes for three adults. Ample free parking is included, breakfast is 10 euro per person extra. The entire hotel is non-smoking, but that didn’t stop them from placing a large open wood burning fireplace in the spacious and well... more
