Talloires is incredibly beautiful but very expensive so although E150 for a basic room seems expensive, you have to put this in context of the exhorbitant prices being charged by LAuberge du Pere Bise, L'Abbaye etc..
The welcome was fine, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
We had a twin with a balcony and a view of the lake and were able to have breakfast on the balcony which was great. The room had been refurbished not too long ago, but the decor was not very inspiring. The bathroom had the cheapest looking tiles, baths, sinks and showers I have ever seen (except in hospitals), there was no shower screen or curtain so masses of room for improvement there. Plenty of cupboard space and the room was blissfully quiet at night.
We had lunch at the hotel. The setting is nice with a shady courtyard by the pool, the food was however quite disappointing: it was my mother's birthday and I had not realised or rather not been told that there was only a fixed menu and no a la carte offerings. I guess this is because most of the guests take on the demi pension option but it would have been nice to have known so we could have gone somewhere else. At 29E it wasnt exhorbitant but not cheap given the simplicity of the offering. The food was OK, wine not cheap but good, and the waitress delightful.
Anone thinking of going to Talloires: you need a car. There are only infrequent buses and boats into Annecy, the countryside is stunning, there are plenty of restaurants around the lake.
So overall not a bad option but wouldnt go out of my way to stay or eat there.

We had an enjoyable three days stay at this hotel. The hotel is in a great location with superb views of the lake and close to the beach at Talloires. The beach at Talloires is excellent, with a toddlers' swimming pool and a fenced off larger pool for kids in the lake itself. The adults' bathing area is excellent and you can swim out to and dive from a raft moored a little way from the shore. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful - they were happy to provide access to their garage for bike storage. There is very good on-site parking. For road cyclists, the hotel is ideally positioned for training rides up the the Col de Forclaz, from which there are breathtaking views of the lake. Breakfast is good and restaurant is fine. The pool is OK, but the nearby beach is much better. Beach access is free to hotel residents staying four days or more, but only costs around 2 Euros per day in any case (and you can come and go as you please without having to pay for re-entry). All in all, a very good hotel in a great location and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

A very bad experience - Absolutely NO GO recommendation for two reasons:
1) Compliance to food handling standards
2) Terrible customer service – the owner is not a nice man
We stayed at Hotel le lac in July 2011 with my wife and 3-year old son. The first night we ate at the hotel. The chef served my 3-year old son so called “homemade chicken nuggets”. The outside looked cooked but they were raw inside. It was only after my son ate a large piece that I realized that the meat was raw.
I called the waiter who had no idea at all of the severity of the situation. The waiter offered to serve something else to my son. I explained to him that raw chicken was very dangerous due to potential harmful bacteria; the waiter ignored my comment and continued to serve other tables.
I then went to the hotel reception where the owner screamed at me saying that it was ridiculous that I was complaining about raw chicken since his product was of very god quality. The owner and his staff demonstrated no knowledge what so ever of the dangers associated with eating raw chicken and the harmful bacteria that may be contained in it, regardless of the quality of the raw product.
The owner finally agreed to call a doctor who confirmed that the chicken was not cooked and that certain risks were present. He requested the hotel to keep the piece of chicken in a freezer so that a bacteria search could be made in case my son would get sick over the next 3 days.
Luckily, as of today my son has not been sick. We stayed 4 nights at hotel le lac and at no time did the hotel owner or any member of his staff, asked about the health of my son or gave any apology.
The knowledge of food handling of this hotel is very poor but moreover their customer handling and respect of people is not acceptable. The owner is not a nice man. I could not believe that I was being screamed at by the owner of the hotel who served my son raw chicken. The only reason we stayed was because the other hotels were booked out.
A strong no go.

We stayed again and it was just as nice as last time.
