The first thing we noticed about this hotel was the people and the service. We had questions before we got there and they responded quickly. When we got there we were greeted warmly ande everyone was so nice. We will be back and the people here are a big reason for that. The food at breakfast was so delicious. French delicacies like croissants and madeleines, crepes, cheese. Very good. We loved our little room. We loved the provided water. We will be back.

We are a family of four from Denmark travelling through France on a four-week road trip, always looking for comfortable hotels that combine quality, relaxation and a family-friendly atmosphere. We originally hoped to stay here for two nights while exploring Annecy, but unfortunately the hotel was only available for one night. After our stay, we completely understand why it is so popular 🌟 Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. Our family room was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a separate sleeping area for the children, giving everyone a little extra privacy. Small touches such as bathrobes in the bathroom made the stay feel even more comfortable, and the room was beautifully presented. Another highlight was the pool. We had it entirely to ourselves, which felt like pure luxury after a day of sightseeing around Annecy. It was the perfect place to relax, and our children absolutely loved it. The only improvement we can mention is that the hotel was surprisingly difficult to find, even with GPS. Clearer signage would make arrival much easier. Overall, this was one of our favourite hotels during our road trip through France. We genuinely wish we had been able to stay longer, and we would not hesitate to book this hotel again on a future visit to Annecy.

Frequent travelers to Europe will know how rare a good a/c in Europe is. Either it barely cools or is only allowed to be used in July and August or the thermostat is so needlessly complicated it needs an instructional manual. Often it’s argued that it’s for the sake of being green yet these same hotels will blast the heat in the winter. That doesn’t use electricity? Oh well, cultural differences and all that… Having just stayed at a hotel without a/c during a heatwave we felt like we had returned to civilization. The room had a mini-fridge. The room was spacious. The carpet and furniture were in very good condition, perhaps new. There was plenty of parking, which was free. Our Privilege room had a complimentary bottle of Coke, still water, apricot juice and grapefruit juice in the min-fridge. There was a water filtration unit in the corridor that dispensed cool water. The bartender was very nice about obliging our request for a glass of ice. There were a myriad of prepared food choices available for purchase in the lobby. We love this feature of many Accor hotels. There were also many choices of ice cream novelties available for purchase. So many amenities present to ensure a very comfortable stay. However, housekeeping fell short. The interior of the mini-fridge needed a quick wipe-down. However, far more egregious was the disgusting state of the toilet. The entire bottom of the bowl was covered in a thick layer of a brown substance we decided was an algae. We had seen some brownish algae in toilet bowls in public washrooms on a rare occasion. We’ve stayed in many Accor properties in various countries and know that they’re a bit quirky when updating properties. For example, last month we stayed at the Fairmont Jasper Lodge in Canada. Our cabin was completely updated but the baseboards and bathroom door weren’t replaced or painted. They were chipped and dirty. So we chalked it up to an old decrepit toilet. To our horror, we noticed pieces of brown matter detaching and floating to the surface. We then realized it wasn’t fungus but it was fecal matter. It was too late in the evening to request housekeeping. We took a cup, filled it with warm soapy water and poured it in the toilet. After setting for a couple of hours the fecal matter was loosened and most of it was able to be flushed out. I am a very frequent traveler and this is the filthiest bathroom I’ve ever encountered traveling the world. All the amenities on offer at this fantastic hotel could not compensate for this disgusting experience.

Pleasant and helpful staff facilitated slightly early check-in, and guided during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable. However, I found paper cups for beverages in this Accor property also, maybe indicating this as a standard fit across all Accor hotels? This could be improved. The breakfast fare was minimal, maybe because I went in amongst the first few customers as the restaurant opened. Can be improved. The hotel is slightly away from the city centre, but cabs are available. If booking for pick-ups, intimate the cab driver to approach from the front gate as the rear gate will not be opened. I lost some time in this as the cab driver had reached the rear gate and found it difficult to reroute himself to the front gate thereafter.

Room & bathroom was clean & nice. Had usual amenities including A/C, slippers, bathrobes, Nespresso coffee, some soft drinks & water in fridge. Beds were comfortable. Good size TVs. Plenty of power points. Restaurant was very nice for our outdoor dinner & reasonable price Location is uphill from the bus stop, and in summer, it’s too hot to walk into town so you need to catch bus (or uber/bolt).

Good service and nice rooms. One tiny thing, the breakfast is not so ok if you are the first you are lucky to choose from everything something. When you are 3 or 4th there are things not available any more. Something to work on but for the rest a good Hotel
