Odkryj pobyt w mieście Sallanches

A week spent in the Alps in Sallanches to discover Chamonix, Mont Blanc and the Mt Blanc tunnel with of course a trip to Italy Aost and its valley and Switzerland Martigny. Very well located hotel, quiet and very clean, bedding by ibis, super friendly staff, super generous and well-stocked breakfast, Near a Carrefour and other restaurants and shops. direct access to the roads to places to visit.

I have been visiting France for many years and I LOVE the country. I favour the south because of the amazing weather and because it is close to Italy and to Spain but I have visited many towns and cities over the years. This hotel in Sallanches is excellent for travellers and in the same large area there are two Ibis Hotels and then loads of shops and bars, all near to a large Carrefour super market. The Style is lovely and has some covered parking which is GREAT when travelling by motorbike. Rooms and the bar are great. So what is not to like? Er. The staff. It seems from my experience that the French people are NOT good at serving and helping other folks, period. Last time I met with the Manager and he was sooooo kind, he moved his own motorbike to make space for mine. BUT the folks who work for him in reception are the opposite, they really do not seem to want guests!! The first TWO times I walked into reception with helmet and waterproofs they tried to direct me to the Ibis Budget, so I am a Budget kind of guy???? Awful. BUT the hotel is excellent. Despite them.

Sadly not a good experience. My main concern is for the staff. They are worked very hard and have their wages deducted for the smallest mistake. I saw one young man be told off for not replacing the ice bowl under the butter packs. The staff seemed lovely but the manager quite dominant. Room 10 has a hairdryer with exposed wires that has been sellotaped back to the wall. On the plus side, breakfast was good and the room was spacious and clean but overall it felt uncomfortable to see the way this hotel treated their staff

Although we own an apartment in beautiful Saint Gervais, it is currently undergoing refurbishment, and so, on two occasions recently, once with friends and once with my husband (and Max the dog) we’ve chosen to stay at the lovely new Le Saint Gervais Hotel and Spa. Saint Gervais has several hotel options, but none with quite this luxury or quite so modern. Given its location so close to the start of the village (and close to the new télécabine from Le Fayet which has been announced), it is very well placed to capture tourists, and as it is open all year round, both in the summer and winter seasons. There is so much to like about the hotel. It is spotlessly clean; rooms have balconies overlooking the mountains and the town; and the staff are friendly and attentive. The barman Louison deserves a special mention here, showing genuine warmth, welcoming our dog to the hotel, and attempting cocktails “off menu”. The restaurant is not due to open until August this year and so, as others have mentioned, breakfast is currently being served in a function room somewhat devoid of atmosphere. Breakfast itself is ok. Nothing to particularly criticise, nor get excited about either. The vacuum flasks of coffee are awful however!! I hope that once the restaurant is complete that the breakfast offering improves with perhaps coffee, omelettes etc served to order too. Rooms are air conditioned (which was a blessing the weekend we stayed) with fast and efficient wifi throughout the hotel. The spa area is small, and I think the hotel really missed the opportunity for an outside jacuzzi. Aside from a small outdoor pool and some loungers, there isn’t much to report outside. Overall, we loved our time at the hotel, and will be sure to return for drinks, meals, or special occasions even once our own apartment is complete. Thanks everyone!!
