“Perfect location in the heart of the historical district”

Great stay at this centrally located hotel, in the heart and the old part of Annecy. Location could not have been better. The staff were extremely amicable and attentive and also very helpful. We had issues with our booking and they solved it without any issues. (We had booked with Booking.com) lesson learned, for next time I recommend that you book directly with the hotel, they resolved the problem that Booking.com did not want to own. Even though it was not the hotel’s problem. As for the rooms they were kitchenette’s and well appointed. We had a large comfortable bed, every thing was very clean. We also had the breakfast, which was extra, but fine. If you want location and family budget this is the place.

“This is a good option if you want a kitchenette, but beware of the dryer”

We enjoyed the convenience of a kitchenette in our apartment so we could store food in the fridge and cook a few simple meals.

We enjoyed the convenience of a kitchenette in our apartment so we could store food in the fridge and cook a few simple meals. The “apartment” was well laid out with a door separating the kitchenette and bathroom from the bedroom. The bedroom was small but had a beautiful view of a park and large stained glass window of the church. The bed had USB charging ports in the bed head which was very convenient. There was a working lift. The hotel is located within the old town with all it’s attractions. My only complaint is the laundry room. You have to buy tokens from the front desk, which is fine. My problem is with the dryer. With my limited French, I couldn’t figure out the settings. Each time I opened the dryer to check if my clothes were dry, it wouldn’t restart without paying more tokens. This involved going back to the front desk and spending more euros. I had to do this twice, making it three times expensive than it should have been. I used many laundromats “laveries” in France and never had this problem with any of the dryers.

“Great location”

The hotel is located near to the rail station and near to, but not in, the most heavily traveled tourist routes which made quieter but very convenient. Like Berlin, breakfast was suspended due to covid but they were offering a room delivered breakfast for 7 Euros which did not sit well (we declined). This was especially disappointing because I had been eager to have breakfast outside in the shadow of the Cathedral. The air conditioning was also inoperative and as our room was at ground level, we did not leave the windows open at night. They provided a fan. The room itself was huge with storage everywhere--far more than we required. There was a separate seating area which was nice and the kitchenette was more than ample. As an appartholtel, the staff was not "at the desk" most times and the place is locked at 8pm requiring a code for entry. Overall, after the initial disappointments, we found it to be fine with the greatest asset being location.

“Great location, good value, rooms need renovation immediately”

Hotel Positives + Location – the hotel is on the “border” between the small commercial district and the old medieval town. Annecy is a small town anyway, but this hotel is perfectly centrally located for easy walking access to absolutely everything. The front door faces the commercial area; turn right from the entrance and you are in the pedestrian cobblestoned zone. Turn right again immediately and go up a few stone steps; you are on the north side of the hotel in a small park behind a cathedral. Straight ahead is the canal and impeccably beautiful paved and wooden bridge walkway, another cathedral, and the arched stone entryways into the old town. Annecy is an absolutely wonderful, magical, beautiful town and lake. Hotels are hard to find; this hotel is relatively affordable and it’s greatest asset is its location. + Parking – the hotel has a gated parking lot + Breakfast – small buffet; can eat on outdoor shaded balcony with pleasant park & town views. Negatives -rooms are old, worn, and in extreme need of renovation. Room Negatives -very disappointing; this suite is the “best” room in the hotel. It is old and worn; the walls and furniture have scratches, patches, and stains. The entry hallway is totally wasted space; we put a suitcase there. The suite has a bathroom, bedroom, living/dining, and small wall kitchenette. Furniture was old, worn, and mismatched. Linens are tired, worn, and old. Mattress is flat and old. Bathroom is old; fixtures are old; no counter or storage space; dim lighting. Room felt unclean and worn. Kitchenette was helpful for the extra sink and small frig. Best part of room is the balcony with a view of town.
