The rooms were very outdated. Felt kinda dirty but most likely just old. The staff and shared area was great. I would not stay here again but if you are not looking for luxury it’s fine. I would have preferred a little more comfort.

A rustic hotel with awesome views of Mont Blanc. A hotel with old charm for visitors who came with the sole purpose of skiing back in the days. The amenities were minimal but we liked the experience. The room was spacious for 4 and the beds were comfortable. We didn't bother getting the hotel breakfast as there a couple of good patisseries close by for fraction where you can get breakfast for a fraction of the cost. The hotel had a good patio where we enjoyed or breakfast and scenic views of Mont Blanc. The hotel puts out cookies and treats everyday for guests to enjoy. They had a espresso machine with espresso and hot chocolate. They had a pool table and foosball table in the game room which was nice. Our overall stay was very enjoyable.
