Chamonix is breathtaking and the cable car to mt Blanc is a must. Hotel is fine but rooms are "knocked about" but this is probably due to it being a ski resort during winter with guests wearing ski gear,etc. Notwithstanding a good value hotel. More

We were literally the last people to stay in this hotel before it closed at the end of the winter season! It's a really nice, clean and comfortable hotel in a great central location - 3 mins walk to the bus stop where you can get to any of the ski areas round the town, and 2 minutes walk to... More

Just came back from a ski trip in Chamonix organized by a travel agency based in the Montreal (Qc,Canada).This hotel is what it is: a 3 stars hotel in a ski village in France....rustic and chalet style......no luxury expected !!! 90% of the staff at that hotel was super nice (especially gentleman with funky glasses at the reception desk) with...

Accommodation, food and staff OK but wifi a major irritant. Not just the charge but the way they charge. Minimum time 30 minutes, but it all has to be used within 24 hours, i.e. if all you want to do is download emails you have to buy 30 minutes every day. More

Dear Guest, About wifi. Our hotel use the wireless fiber optics. These cables are designed for long distance and very high bandwidth Network communications. More expansible than the traditional cables we charge a supplement of 2 euro for 30 minutes connection. With this connection you can log 10 minutes and then disconnect and log again until the total of 30... More

This hotel has a good location close to the bus stop and only few minutes walk from restaurants and cafeterias. When we first entered, they had some difficulties to find a room for us, even though we had a reservation. Eventually after some calls, they were able to find the room. After that everything else went fine with the staff.... More

Complete bandits. They took a deposit on a cancellation made in error and reversed immediately, arguing that the funds could not be credited back on the card by their admin procedures (any POS can do it and does) and when asked to re-instate the booking they argued that it would have to be a completely new one at the full...

Just back from a week of skiing (or at least, trying to ski) in Chamonix. I booked through Inghams and the package at the Prieure included half board. First impression of the hotel was good. It’s presentable from the outside and in a great location as most people have commented, just 150m or so to the bus stop (from where... More

Ideally placed for Chamonix central - 2 mins walk from pedestrian area of shops. 5/10 min walk to Brevant uplift. Great views of Mont Blanc from hotel room. Very good dinner (set meal with choices at 25€), although breakfast at 14€ was less good value. Good secure facilities for storing skis and luggage. Room was well equipped with good heating.... More

Just completed a week+ stay at Hotel Prieure over Christmas/New Year. This hotel reflects its Three Star rating hotel to a tee and is a comfortable place to stay. The best aspect of the hotel though is its location: 150 metres to the bus stop for transfer to any of the Chamonix ski areas; 100 metres to Chamonix main street;... More

I had seen the Prieure from outside with its old wooden exterior, and read a review that suggested the rooms were a bit noisy, with additional charges, so was a bit tentative when going there for a ski trip, although offset by the fact that it seemed a lot better priced than the Christmas rates on the other main hotels...
