“Very friendly and helpful staff and perfectly located in Annecy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

person found this review helpful

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.

“Good hotel, good value, good location”

I stayed at this hotel in May 2011 on account of the good reviews on TripAdvisor. I was not disappointed. The hotel is located within 10 minute walking distance from the train station and 3 minute walk from the old town. Annecy is a town full of cobble stone streets. Mercifully, the streets between the hotel and the train station are smooth paved sidewalks. I had a room with double bed and private bathroom which came with a small balcony overlooking the street. It was surprisingly quiet for a room facing the street. The room was compact, clean, modern, and comfortable. The picture-perfect Annecy is too beautiful for words -- the walk-able old town, the beautiful lake side, the lively outdoor market, the elegant locals, and the vast selection of restaurants catering to every price range. The Monoprix 3 minute walk from the hotel has everything a traveler needs plus good selection of ready-to-eat food items. I would recommend this hotel.

“Great lodging at an unbeatable price in Annecy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

I chose this hotel based on previous reviews and was not the least bit disappointed. Nice rooms, friendly staff, fast internet. The breakfast was a good continental spread. If you are driving, you will have to park in a nearby garage though. Overall, a great value. It is close to Geneva too. Why pay 100-200 Euro more to lodge in Geneva when you can get the same in France at a better cost? Would recommend to friends and family. Make sure you reserve a room as it fills up.

“Great location, helpful staff”

This hotel is right in the center of things in Annecy. Very reasonably priced. The rooms are small, but what do you expect in a hotel in an old part of town at this price. Be aware that late night revelers might keep you up. But, you're in Annecy to have fun, so you why are you in your room sleeping?

We chose to stay at this hotel based on previous reviews. We found the hotel to be clean, well run, and in a great location. The staff were warm, accommodating, and gave us great restaurant recommendations. We would happily stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Room Tip: I think there are a few rooms that overlook a canal. Ask when booking.
