Lavancher Hotels

"Pros: 1. 10 Steps from the bakery ( very easy breakfast ) 2. 5 Steps to the grocery store - The food in the village gets a bit old due to lack of variety. Grocery trip was essential. 3. Very easy to park (we booked one week with one park parking garage under Arc 1950. They had our name on a list and told us what level to park on. We then could take the elevator right up to reception. This is fantastic if the weather is unfavorable.) 4. Complimentary Laundry room ( Bring your own soap. There was 1 Washer / 3 Dryers. Drying strings in both showers) Cons: 1. The kitchen well appointed with mini appliances. There were a few cooking utensils missing but overall good. (spatula) 2. 4 teas and 2 coffee pods provided, would have been nice to have more in the room given we were booked for 6 days. 3. Mid week fresh towels would have been nice. We just used the same towels, but this would have been a nice perk. 4. The beautiful cave looking pool was in a building at the other end of the village - in a spa. This was not available to us unless you paid for kids / adult entry or had a spa appointment. The hot tub outside reception was not warm and then the net day totally drained and had cover on. We saw no one use the pool. "

"Perfect location and great staff !"

"The rooms were clean and sparse. The loft rooms were fun with kids but would be very difficult for anyone over 6’ to manage. The staff was okay. They weren’t exceptionally friendly. Very limited English speakers so made it difficult at times. They take your card to have on file for incidentals but you can’t actually charge anything to your room. The restaurant was not great. The video games are cool but good luck using them. Usually two people would be camped out for the evening at then. Also didn’t love the location. Next time we will stay in Chamonix so we don’t have to wait on the bus. The busses run every 30 mins and are almost always late and over crowded. "

"Nice room, nice staff, nice place!"

"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. "

"Extensive high quality breakfast buffet, clean, modern and stylish rooms, exceptionally helpful staff. Easy parking, great location for centre of town, ski equipment rental and lift pass purchase on site. "

"We LOVED our stay here. My fiancé and I stayed one night to explore Chamonix and this hotel was a way more affordable option. They even gave us a complementary upgrade to our room so that we had a mountain view! Very clean rooms, big bathrooms, wonderful and welcoming staff, amazing breakfast and many options to choose from. They also had a very cozy foyer with a bar. On the first floor, there’s a great rec room for larger groups to hangout and play pool/cards etc. Definitely will be staying there again if we ever go back. "

"After requesting a quite room at time of booking we originally were located in no such room - friendly reception staff accommodated us but at our expense as they only had quite superior rooms. Which we paid the extra for. However do not be fooled by the name superior it was simply large. The furnishings were not what you would expect for a 4star - equally the toiletries were basic. That said the rooms was clean and the bed linen acceptable. "

"Great Mountain View. Lovely staff, but building work going on outside our window."
