i've stayed here in summer twice now and would again. The last time we stayed here was as part of a two centre holiday, Annecy - Les Baie des Voile and then on to Chamonix. I wanted to share the experience with all of my family as both areas are just so lovely. Anyway back to the Balcons. It may... more

Having stayed at the Balcons each year from 2004 onwards I can wholeheartedly recommend this as an Ideal location to stay. First lets get the price issue dealt with, Its is not cheap to stay here, but this is Chamonix, and a meal for a family of 4 is going to set you back over £200 and even a small... more

We stayed here for a week's skiing with two young children. Location couldn't be better - right by the ski school, and, for the adults, a button lift taking you up to the gondola and all Chamonix's ski runs. Also just 5 minutes walk from the town centre. Apartment had two bedrooms, sitting room, well-equipped kitchenette, bathroom, loo and spacious... more

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, location was great, five minute walk to town and next to some small slopes. Chamonix was covered in snow which made it even more beautiful. Staff were friendly, apratment was huge with two balconies facing the mountains. Very clean and cosy. Hotel was well maintained. Swimming pool closed when we visited - only... more

We stayed here on a family ski holiday and it was absolutely perfect. Right next to the beginner slopes with the apartment facing the mountains and a lovely little pool inside the hotel for after skiing. The underground car park was really good too and I would recommend that anyone staying in Chamonix hires a car as there is a... more

I have just returned from spending a week at this hotel. Over the last ten years i've stayed at various 2/3 star hotels in skiing resorts across Europe. This year we decided to push the boat out and spend a little more on a 4 star hotel. Sadly we were disappointed that we could tell little difference from any of... more

Have stayed here a couple of times. The first time, I had a ground floor apartment with a beautiful view of the grassy area in front (with occasional paraglider landings) and Mont Blanc. Second time, off season, the apartment was at the side of the building, which seemed rather a pity as apartments at the front plainly weren't occupied. I... more

This is the third time we stayed at these apartments. The location is fantastic but we have noticed a decline in cleanliness and maintenance this year. The internet, washing machine and childrens games room were all 'down' for the whole week we were there with not much explanation for the problem. The large three bedroom apartment is great but was... more

The purpose of my trip to Chamonix was a romantic getaway with the stunning Alps as scenery. With this hotel I got to accomplish all of that. In fact, we stayed in an apartment, so we had a spacious room; big living room with lcd tv and free dvds to order at the reception; small but fully equipped kitchen (fridge,... more
