This hotel has an apartment at the side of it, which has the poorest value I've known. The apartment is outdated, musty and things break down. Whilst the web page gives an impression that it is nice, the furniture, fittings, and heating is from the 1960's. When we stayed there for a week, our first impressions were that it stank. Hot water was not available at the end of the day, so unable to shower at nights. The toilet got stuck, the dishwasher leaked, the fridge did not close well, the heating did not come on regularly.

I would advise all travellers to avoid the apartment attached to this hotel. Whilst the hotel lobby and restaurant seems pleasant, the same cannot be said of the owners who were antagonistic and far from friendly in the way they handled issues.

We stayed here for three nights. It's close to the shore of Lake Annecy. The rooms at the back of the hotel have excellent views across the Lake which is quite stunning. The rooms at the front, however, just look over an extremely busy road.

The rooms are neat and clean, and big enough, and the breakfast was OK. We didn't eat here any other time, so can't vouch for the food generally, though there did seem to be a lot of happy customers.

There is an excellent cycleway which runs right past the hotel, between the hotel and the Lake, and runs down the whole length of the Lake. We hired bikes from the hotel for half a day at what seemed to be a reasonable rate.

The hotel isn't exactly in Annecy but is about 2.5km outside - about a 40 minute walk. Parking in Annecy looked pretty awful, but there is an OK bus service running past the hotel.

We quite liked it, but three days was probably enough. The lakeside location is really good. Staff were OK. We had nothing to trouble them about.

Stayed here one night on a business trip. It is a basic, value hotel so don't expect any frills, but rooms are clean and it's reasonably priced. Rooms at back have good lake views. Restaurant is ok( but nothing special.) Overall, fine if you are on a tight budget.
