“Stay in Chamonix”

Lovely little hotel. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely as is the rest of the hotel: enjoyed the hot tub and sauna to ease aching muscles after skiing.

Lovely little hotel. Staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely as is the rest of the hotel: enjoyed the hot tub and sauna to ease aching muscles after skiing. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favour and we had to get the bus for 20 mins to Le Tour each day to ski. Although the snow there was perfect. The hotel has such a warm, cosy and welcoming vibe. Can’t fault it! Will be back.

I booked this charming chalet boutique hotel through my bank as they have a cashback offer on hotel stays and this was one of the hotels in Chamonix that had availability, was open during summer and had parking onsite. We went their with my friends last August to escape the provençal heat and we booked a Family room. Normally the family room is for 2 adults and 2 kids so we called them up to confirm if it is ok to room 4 adults. We had to call twice as they had customers checking out but the lady who assisted us was very nice and helpful and told us that it was not a problem. I am not sure if this is just because it was summer and normally a low season for them or if this is their actually policy, so double check first with them. As indicated on the other tripadvisor reviews, this hotel is located beside the greens of the Chamonix golf club and is on the outskirts of Chamonix so you would either need a car or take public transport. This was not an issue for us as we came with our car and we preferred not to be right in the center where parking could be expensive and difficult. Upon arriving, the public parking outside the hotel was full so we asked the receptionnist to give us access to their private paid parking. Good thing that there were still some spots left as it was not a huge parking and could probably just fit less than 10 cars so I suggest that you try to book it in advance before your stay, especially if you are going there during the peak season. The lobby and reception area had a warm ambiance and exuded a homey charm. The receptionnist was very friendly and patient, very helpful and had a smile on her face. She handed our keys eventhough we arrived a little early and told us about the spa and gave us information on how to get to the center by public transport which we really appreciated. The family room was located on the ground level and was spacious enough for a short stay. It was clean, functional, well maintained eventhough you can smell a bit of humidity in the air and had a spacious balcony overlooking the golf course. The room also had a spectacular view of Month Blanc. Unfortunately, the room had no airconditioning, but since we are near the mont blanc, it wasn't that warm especially if you opened the windows. Also, since the hotel is not near the center, it was peaceful and there was not much noise when you do open the windows. The room had all the amenities of a 3 star property and the beds and pillows were ok and were comfortable enough for a short stay. After leaving our luggages, we went out to go to the center of chamonix to catch the Montenvers train which led to the Mer de glace, the longest and largest valley glacier in France. We decided to leave the car and took a bus instead as the bus stop was around 5-8 minutes walk away from the hotel. Since we got back to the hotel late, unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the jacuzzi as it was already closed after dinner so we just went straight to our rooms and slept. We slept well eventhough the bed sheets were a bit rough. We were not able to try their breakfast as we had a schedule to go to the Aiguille du midi but we checked out the breakfast room which was located on a higher floor. We had to take the old elevator and the breakfast room was clean but a little small in my opinion. Check out was fast and were assisted once again by a nice and approachable employee. Overall, we had a great time in Chamonix, and eventhough this hotel is old, I would still recommend it because of its friendly and professional staff and the fact that it is well maintained. Definitely worth the money we paid for. Although, if I will go there during winter, I might go for a more central hotel near the ski lifts.

“Bravo le Labrador!”

My go to place in Chamonix for 20 years. Warm friendly, reasonable on price, well run and a great location. Not flashy but homely and just right. Philippe Bartoli and his team know how to run a hotel. Merci l'equipe! Jason

This hotel was low key but comfortable. Staff were friendly and approachable. It was nice to have the gym and sauna in the basement as well as the hot tub. One thing we particularly appreciated is that the rooms are not overheated!!! A rarity in many mountain hotels. One minor drawback was the lack of restaurant in the hotel itself. But the nearby Café with which they have an arrangement serves delicious food and arranges take-outs
