“A poor experience at a cheap price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2010

We chose this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor. It was well reviewed and was cheap. However, I cannot recommend it. It was not very clean and there was no light in our bathroom. It also had strong unpleasant smells. So, yes its cheap, but I have not chosen it again. For the next stay we chose the "Hotel Splendid" in Montreux, approx 20 mins away which was great. Also had breakfast at "L'Amiral", which was near Thonon which also looked cheap and fun.

“Charming Hotel in Evian. Pleasant Stay. Recommend.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2009

I stayed for only one night in this hotel.

I made the reservation by internet, and confirned by email.

The charge is very resonable with the hotel.

Breakfast is very good. Merci Cristina !!!!!!!!!

Good Location, central area, private parking (not easy acess), quiet place, familiar hotel.
And have a lovely cat there.

Very good cleaning of the room.

Staff very polite and speak English fluently.

Pleasant Stay. Very Recommend.

“Oct 2008 review- Highly recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2008

Excellent value. Clean and comfortable. Picturesque location. Excellent facilities. Nice staff.

We booked this hotel for a one night stay during a trip to France and Italy. The hotel is situated near Lake Leman (Lake Geneva) on the French side. Although the hotel is advertised as a 2 star- it is very comfortable, clean and perfect for a short or long stay.

The hotel is perfectly situated- very close to the Lake. (Rooms at the front look over a very pretty square with view to the water. Evian, obviously famous for mineral water is a very clean, picturesque town, with plenty of shops, markets and cafes to visit. The lake is beautiful, and the town is safe and friendly to walk around at night.

Many restaurants are nearby from lo- to high budget. And there are plentiful cafe-bars, shops, gift shops and clothes

The Receptionist spoke excellent English (handy if you have rusty French) and the rooms were clean- comfortable, with good bathroom facilities. No drinks facilities were in the room, but you can easily step outside- and best to do so as the scenery is lovely.

There is easy access from the 3rd floor to the back of the hotel, to the free parking and to the source of the water where you can fill up as many bottles as you like!

** TIP** You cannot access the front of the hotel by car- there is a parking area and nearby public car park at the rear. Leave your car here and check in.**

Breakfast was included and was very good- usual continental breakfast, very well presented with fresh and hot pastries, tea, cerals, meats, yoghurts etc. Again staff were very friendly. Nice (small) garden at the back- and very accessible.

**TIP** Most of the shops close on a Monday!

Highly recommended, very good value for money and would visit again.

“Good price for value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2007

We stayed at the "Hotel de France" only one night.
The hotel is located in the middle of the Rue Nacionale, in front of the square that gets directly at the Leman Lake.
Our bedroom was small, but correctly equiped, with a window overlooking at the back garden.
Car park in the back, no extra charge. You need the map provided by the hotel to find it.
We didn't get the breakfast ( 8 euro p/person), we had breakfast at a "boulangerie" on the same street.

  • Liked — Good price, good situation.
  • Disliked — Small room, expensive breakfast.

“Staff could be better”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2007

Booke over Expedia. Parking not on site as advertised and took me 30 mintues to find. Staff do speak English but not friendly. Internet is Free but limited access; they will ask you how many hours do you want? You could get better price in the Contenetial Hotel near by; but, no parking.
