Stayed for 3 days after coming from the 3 Valleys ski area. This stay was a fantastic experience - parking was easy and convenient, check in was smooth as the gentleman was pleasant and professional. He explained the logistics of the hotel and offered info about the surrounding area. The hotel had a bar lounge area on the first floor with a pool table, foosball table, fireplace and lounging area for free afternoon teatime … it also had a small workout area with sauna/showers, climbing wall and relaxation area. Our room was spacious and had a gorgeous view of the creek and the Aiguille du Midi … Breakfast was great with a wide range of food choices along with a beautiful view from the dining area. The hotel offered a discount for Ski rental through a shop nearby and had a ski locker for use by guests. Restaurants and shopping were all around - we walked to the town center and roamed about easily. This will be our first choice if we return to Chamonix in the future - thank you L’Arve !! Booking through Expedia made it easy and all the charges were exactly as expected - bravo to both !

Overall good hotel, just a shame about the paper thin walls and ceiling as you can hear everything, it sounded like there was an elephant stomping around above our room every night until about midnight. But the hotel was clean and friendly I wouldn’t stay again because of the noise and having a young child with us

Liked: Cleanliness
We had reserved a one bedroom apartment unit, but we discovered the one bedroom apartments had the bedroom in a basement with no window or ventilation. Even worse, the toilet was upstairs, and the stairs were very narrow. We requested a room on one level. We were given a very small room with a tiny bathroom, which the staff told us was the only room available. Later we discovered there were much nicer rooms available. Even mentioning Rick Steves did not merit better treatment.
