Hotel Alexandra did not disappoint even though I had high expectations after seeing it was rated #1 in hotels in Annecy. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the first thing they did after greeting us hello was whip out a map and show us all the points of interest and approximate walking times. They also made some restaurant recommendations that we tried and we're happy to report they were decently priced and delicious (try Annecy's specialty, Tartelette).
The room was a bit on the small size but that's to be expected everywhere you go in Europe. We had spent almost a month travelling around Europe and were used to tripping over each and our luggage by then :). On the plus side the room was clean and had free reliable internet, and hot powerful showers.
The breakfast was an extra 8 EUR each but had a great variety of pastries and cold cuts or you can head downstairs and hit up one of the patisseries a block or two away.
Definitely recommend staying here if you're thinking of visiting this adorable little town on the lake.
