I had already been to Chamonix a few times and hadn’t been at Hotel de L’Arve before. It was a great surprise. The location of the hotel is incredible, you walk 3 minutes to the bus stop where you take the bus directly to the lifts. The breakfast is really nice, with local and international food. You have all you need at the hotel, ski storage, game room, gym, bar, etc but the staff was the highlight of the accommodation, they were all very friendly and welcoming, it really stands out. I definitely recommend the hotel.

Room very basic for a superior room. Had a big hole in floor as you walk in that you had to avoid. A bit dated, however, staff (Alexander) very friendly and efficient. Had everything you needed but room overpriced for an upgraded superior one.

The hotel met our expectations, but we would have loved a hot tub for after skiing

The breakfast was a very complete and well-presented affair. The location is perfect being near the main walking street for restaurants/shops. Also, super close to the shuttle stops. Also, free parking was a great benefit as we had a rental car. The hot chocolate/coffee machine was great along with the sparkling water.

Towels seemed to have stains and rooms were stuffy.

Location and sauna facility (ideal post ski)

When we arrived for our second stay, the boiler and central heating was not working for our unit. However, the staff was very accommodating, setting up temporary heaters to ensure our comfort while the repair was underway.

This was our second stay at Hotel de l’Arve, and we greatly enjoyed both. It really is a hidden gem, located centrally in Chamonix, with easy access to nearby supermarkets, restaurants and bus routes. The family units are very spacious, with balconies, picturesque views, and plenty of amenities like W/D, kitchen facilities, ski storage, and heated boot racks. There is also a common sauna and fitness room in the facility. The common area is a nice place to unwind after a day of skiing or sightseeing, with games and free nonalcoholic beverages.

Room was a little dark, especially the bathroom. This trip included Geneva, Zermatt, and Grindewald. Yours is the only property where the shower was not enclosed. I know that's "European", but made showering much less pleasant.

Staff was outstanding, particularly Sami.

Great location, super friendly and helpful team.

Amazing hotel, great location, and the most friendly and helpful hotel team that I’ve ever encountered. The staff just couldn’t do enough for you and they were all super helpful with all aspects of panning and making your stay a good one. Thank you! I’ll 100% use this hotel again for my next trip to Chamonix.

The only thing that would stop us staying in that particular apartment again was the lack of a toilet on the same floor as the bedroom. The two bathrooms were beautifully decorated and I’m sure a washing machine is very useful but we are of an age that we need the loo in the night and going up the stairs to the second bathroom was annoying to say the least. If we had another couple staying with us which was an option, it would also have been embarrassing. But otherwise we Loved the place and if your bladders are better than ours then we would highly recommend staying there.

Wonderful location. The apartment was modern, luxurious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen and living room had everything we could need. We loved the option of breakfast in the hotel, which was excellent. The complimentary tea and cake in the afternoon was such a treat. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite.
