La Folie Douce Hotels Chamonix

The hotel was so amazing, great location, nice bar and view, just few minutes walk to the town.

Beautiful hotel in equally beautiful location . This is a quieter time of year so the hotel was sedate and calm . Our room was lovely , compact but very clean with a lovely view over the pool and Mont Blanc . It was stunning . We found the staff to be friendly, helpful and welcoming . We ate in the restaurant one night . It was lovely, but only a very limited menu . We were entertained by dancers as we ate which was non intrusive and enjoyable . The town is delightful with so much to see and do . We will definitely return

Very mixed feelings about this hotel. They have spent money on communal spaces such as the bar, restaurant etc, but the overall impression was everything was seriously tatty and tired - some of it really very bad especially the pool and so called “spa”. Mould in the tile grout, steam room permanently out of order, graffiti on steps to hotel, cigarette ends between the wooden decking, our bedroom windows totally rotten etc etc I was really surprised as have been to other Folie Douce restaurants in the winter when skiing and they have been great. This felt like it needed an absolutely huge amount of money spending on it….. really sub standard….. :(. Staff were very nice though…..

We loved it! The hotel is quirky and rather wonderful because it is not at all a cookie cutter place to stay. Positives- Fantastic family rooms - we had 4 teenagers with us and the cost of multiple rooms is huge. Folie has family rooms for 6 (interconnecting one double and one quad) with, importantly, a shower room and separate toilet in each room. Breakfast is pricey for breakfast but incredible - try and go once at least. The public areas are beautiful, luxurious, quirky and just fabulous. The view from the terraces are amazing. The pool area always had seats and beds - no sunbed wars here. The staff were helpful and spoke great english (much better than my french). The location - in the centre but not in the centre. Literally a two minute walk to main Chamonix pedestrian area but the back of the hotel opens to a paragliding landing field and mountains. Plenty of parking, albeit expensive). The views from everywhere. Negatives - Parking is expensive even if you're a hotel guest. 20 euros a day. The rooms were a bit tired - a bit musty, chipped paint etc. Limited restaurants open in summer in the hotel. For example the one offering local meals such as raclette and fondue is not open in summer. We requested a quiet room after reading about late night terrace music. In fact in summer in the week at least it was not an issue. We therefore got a room at the back of the hotel on the 4th floor. Great. But not. Every morning at 7ish they were getting deliveries, hosing of the hotel car/minibus etc and making a LOT of noise. So avoid rooms in the real above or near the main entrance.
