The staff are always friendly and helpful, the rooms clean and functional  if a little dated.

The staff are fantastic here, they make every effort to accommodate the guests in a warm and friendly manner.

Staff were all very friendly & incredibly helpful, the gardens were lovely to sit out and look at,

Staff was friendly, we had a warm welcome.

Luckely we stayed only one night, the reception in super accommodating and friendly

The welcome is warm and the staff are friendly enough to help you get around this small town in the Alps.

Hotel was clean, staff were friendly and the location was excellent - 1 hours drive from all surrounding ski resorts.

It was a lovely place to reach after a long day in the saddle, nice pool, nice bar and very friendly staff.

The reception staff could not be more friendly and helpful.

We were really discussed by the dirty carpet and filthy shower.

There was a smell of cooked food everywhere.

I have a cold and my sense of smell is off

We kept the balcony doors open the whole time we were there and still it smelt.

They were up in the roof space with only a small skylight window for daylight ,had black mould growing up the walls and were dimly lit by a few lamps, there were no lifts to access the 3rd floor rooms, the bathroom was not pleasant either and extremely dated.

I had dinner last week at the hotel, good service, pleasant staff, food ok, nothing special

The staff are always helpful and the restaurant is fantastic.

The staff were helpful to find alternative places to eat,

however even though the staff and actual room were fine.

A nice place, near the highway, staff efficent.

Staff on arrival and departure most pleasant and courteous.

The reception staff were very helpful in making this difficult time more bearable.

Very warm and friendly welcome - two great standard Poodles come with the hotel stay.

The owners are very friendly people and would gladly assist if in need of assistance.

Great  friendly welcome by Su Chen the owner's wife.

but very nice also, all staff are very friendly and helpful.

The husband, depending on his mood, can be quite hostile and rude (and at other times very friendly and helpful.

Bicycle friendly, english spoken fluently.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Su-Chen and Jose were constantly friendly and helpful.

The hostess, Su Chen, is phenominal -- she predicts your needs, is friendly, and makes you feel welcome -- she could run a Four Seasons and not skip a beat.

but I think rather over priced for what you get.

There was no bottle of water and the room (and no mini-bar), access to Wifi is free for the first device, every additionel access / device costs 5€ a day.

The restaurant was very expensive so we eat in a brasserie just down the road.

The room cost €160 for the night and was much worse than a room at an Etap hotel.

although room prices now include breakfast, a bit of updating is overdue and the first floor smelled a bit musty.

I had thought that I had lost an expensive item in the room

Su-Chen and José De Anacleto, the owners looked after me and my 2 girls with such kindness and practicality.

The cherry on the cake comes when I ask for a change of room. The owner (?)

Front desk service was excellent, the rooms clean and the beds comfortable.

The hotel is welcoming, the room comfortable, Su-Chen is very nice, the waiters are excellent and food very good.

The hotel is run by the owners Su Chen & Jose, who, along with their staff, could not have been more helpful.

It starts with the friendliness of the staff, and the well maintained facilities.

Both the owner and his wife were very helpful, the wife speaking immaculate english, it being her first language.

The food is excellent; The highly competent chef is the owner, so it is not just some employee that is feeding you.

This year, tonight, after an excellent dinner in the  restaurant with a very attentive hostess/hotel owner who is charming.

Traveled to france for a cycling trip with friends and was treated to world class service by the staff at Hotel Million.

We had been traveling all day and arrived in our travel clothes and with no questions asked escorted us to a table.

The hotel owners are very pleasant and nice to be greeted by their two dogs in reception.

I can't say enough good things about the hotel, the owners, and the restaurant.

The hotel and its staff were brilliant in everyway.

To make this worse, incredible noise from a pub with a live band and “happy” clients yelling right across the street. Closing windows for less noise means sitting in a humid oven (the carpet!)

However, the hotel rooms are very basic - small bed, small table, small window, small washroom, one small piece of soap, etc.

So we closed the window and put on the air conditioner, it would not work.

And proceeded to pull back the drapes and opened the windows beside us, I was shocked!

Simple hotel, clean, friendly staff, breakfast ok, nice price, quite town.

Nice bar and friendly barman come manager who looked after us well.

Private carpark behind the hotel, comfortable room, good breakfast and friendly, helpful staff.

At check-out again the hotel staff was very friendly.

Excellent hotel, great location and very friendly welcome, we were only needing one night

On arrival staff were friendly and helpful.

I must say that it was a great option, the hotel is nice and cosy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Room was a little small for the two of us

but we were warmly welcomed including checking us in before noon.

Kind and polite staff , quite and nice place, near to most important savoy place.

We were arriving rather late with three children so rang ahead and the gentleman on reception offered to book us a table at a nearby restaurant which was perfect!

This is a well placed hotel with excellent service and helpful staff.

OK it's not a 5 star hotel and is in need of an upgrade

Here for a wedding, we spent one night and really didn't make many demands on the staff.

Hotel de Geneve

No baby change facilities and only one shower.

You'll need to get soap, shampoo, and dish washing liquid at the store or from them.

We were in an apartment which was one bedroom and then the kids area is an open area next to the bathroom which is fine

The bath in the bathroom was massive, slightly odd thing is the toilet is located at the opposite end of the apartment with no wash hand basin

I think its a given now in most places you visit that adequate internet connection is a basic amenity and therefore the system needs upgrading.

It came to around $100/night even adding on the cost of renting linens, basic personal hygiene products, and toilet paper (many European travelers bring their own) and having breakfast.

The toilet was near the front door furthest from the bathroom which was odd

Note that you are not allowed to use bath shorts in the pools in France - you have to use "Speedos".

Not far from Supermarche and very friendly staff.

but the towels are ok. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The chalets are clean enough , the facilities are clean and the staff are friendly, courteous and helpful .

The team in reception were friendly and helpful at all times.

On the first day I complained about the cleanliness and the apartment was subsequently cleaned,

There is no maid service, and if you don't clean your room there is an extra charge when you leave.

You need to provide your own kitchen cleaning products, dish cloths etc or pay extra for them.

On booking we was given the choice of paying an end of stay cleaning fee (£50 if i remember correctly) I declined this option, choosing to clean it myself before leaving.

Good idea once I thought about it, it means that for longer stays like ours you get a good per night room rate with just a one off charge for cleaning if you don't want to do it yourself.

To top it off we have also been charged an additional cleaning fee which was not mentioned when we checked in/out.

We did choose a date then were told there would be a further 42€ booking fee.

On our second day we took a taxi to Talliores which was not that far (paid around 20 euros) and spent the whole day there (and shopped for groceries) before going back to our apartment.There is Wi-Fi

Given the cost of the chalet ( £500 for 4 nights ) I would have expected a little more.

However, we felt it was overpriced for quite basic self catering accommodation.

The other odd thing about the complex was the constant "do's and Dont's" signs everywhere and the price of things if you break them such as the covering for the pool table at 550 euros etc felt more like a boarding school.

It feels like the whole complex is winding down and not much care or attention is being paid any longer.

There is apparently wi-fi available at reception.

The hotel personnel said this is due to the location near the mountains,

The reception is open at very odd times of the day and very understaffed, the lady at reception spoke excellent English

but you can prob ask the staff to translate.

Karine, the English-speaking Manager, was extremely apologetic about this.

It's quite hard to plan hikes and activities without the internet.

but if they have WI-FI in the lobby howcome it is not possible in the rooms?

There is NO phone or roaming signal here which was frustrating when as we had not booked direct with Le Birdie there was a charge for Wi-Fi.

WiFi was only available in the main reception building and was a ridiculous price.

although available in the games room, the signal down there was incredibly weak.

Wifi is in the games room and a bit inconvenient.

Reception and the area by reception has free wifi, you just need a passcode which lasts for up to 24 hours usage over 7 days, so you don't need a new passcode everyday you just need to log off each time so its not using up your 24 hours usage.

but there is only signal in the reception area.

Wi-fi poor - couldn't pick signal up in my room, had to stand half-way down the hallway.

Great location close to the A430 route to the Tarentaise, the hotel was quiet, the staff were helpful and friendly, I had checked-in online so it was only a natter of getting a key and directions to our room.

Large reception with friendly staff and free Wifi throughout

but all ok, just a little expensive for what it is.

but I think that actually the price is too high given the service and comfort.

Our double room cost about 47 euro / night.

however I would not expect that for the price

but kiosk in the foyer failed to recognise booking via ibis website

Fortunately more rooms were available so had to pay for two more which were £10 more expensive.

but as it was the worst at my holiday trip we  slept bad- better was to pay a little more and take other hotel.

However as we needed secure parking we chose the Ibis Budget, even tough it was on the edge of town, it was a small price to pay for peace of mind.

The choice of hotels in this town is very poor and this one is cheap - I paid about 40 Euros including breakfast.

However, it was cheap and the breakfast was OK. 

Biggest complaint was that the room heated up at night and so I had to open the window - which ordinarily is something I like to do,

but cheap and ok for one night also when you arrive late, because of credit card check-in when there's no staff.

We expected to get what we paid for in terms of simplicity and minimalism,

No smoking signs everywhere which are ignored.

The bathroom also smelt strongly of drains.

but what I didn't expect was a bed that was more like a rail-car couchette (firm plasticy stuff, like sleeping on a slightly padded bench) and the red-wine chunky vomit that ran down wall behind the main door.

Freezing and not looking my best ,I entered znd the staff fantastic on front desk .

Ok hotel - stayed before - clean and tidy - beds ok - shower ok - hard to find staff

A very good budget hotel with courteous staff.

Staff were efficient and breakfast was good.

but clean room/bathroom and comfortable beds.Staff.was helpfull.

A cheap and cheerful stopover when driving to the Alps.

Clean, efficient ETAP hotel with no detour required to French Alps.

Ibis Budget Albertville

Parking

I'll start off with the positive notes: it's dirt cheap, there is free parking, the staff (French speaking, not sure about their English) is extremely friendly and very helpful, and the breakfast (small buffet) was more then decent.

Staff are very friendly and food is good - especially breakfast.

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Rooms very basic, sound proofing leaves a lot to be desired

It smelled of moisture and of cigarettes, despite the fact that we had a non-smoking room.

My only issue was opening the window, you couldn't let air in without everyone being able to see in the room (I was on bottom floor).

However, the accommodation was extremely basic and the rooms were smelly.

but will never do so again , smelly , tiny rooms , no reception desk service at night , dirty floors .

The rooms are small and extremely outdated.

This motel is a filthy dump , I had to stay there for a night, having chosen because of its vicinity to the ski resorts ,

The lady in charge of the breakfast area kept it immaculate and was very nice.

The lady at the desk was a great help with preparing all the stuff for the insurance after the accident, and arranged scanning and printing of all the necessary documents.

Automated check-in when the reception is closed (most likely when you're passing on your way to the Alps), is also intuitive.

Welcoming hosts who are helpful and friendly .

M. and Mme Gay were welcoming and friendly.

The people were very friendly .Actually it felt like we were in a family.

I travelled to the region with 2 colleagues only to discover the original hotel that had been booked  by our office had decided to cancel the reservation.

If you want a genuine retro experience, in a hamlet off the beaten track, with the opportunity to visit Annecy, it’s lakes, hills and chic town, together with the Tamie Abbey (we went to Vespers one evening at 6.15 pm) Au Gay Sejour is well worth a visit.

but it is impeccably clean and we were very comfortable
*The location is beautifully quiet and tranquil. We'll miss the morning runs up to neighbouring village Combes and the walks without meeting a single car
*The hosts are very pleasant , always greeting you with a smile (even if in our case we did not use that much of the facilities given our itinerary)

The husband and wife who own it and cook the food were there to greet us.

internet was very patchy and the towels were small and rather rough.

Au Gay Sejour

meeting

The owner is friendly, and makes a great breakfast, so well recommended.

This couple were very helpful, friendly and a breath of fresh air.

We had a great host who spoke some English – way more then our French.

upon arrival Claude and Christine were so welcoming.

Both Claude and Christine are wonderful hosts and could not have made more helpful suggestions for new visitors.

Claude and Christine are wonderful, kind and thoughtful hosts and it feels like home from home.

The hosts Claude, Christine and their son Yan were very welcoming, accommodating with a great sense of humour.

What distinguishes Mark is his warmth and "good aura"; he is very supportive and gives you a feeling of confidence what was especially important for the beginners like us (and me also with some height fear). We managed only simple routes (by the way, my father is 72 - so go ahead, guys!)

My wife and I were on a 35 day visit to France and wanted to explore areas where we have never visited over the years.

Le Clos du Tilleul

visit

The room was tiny and no fan in the room and given the temperatures were in the high 30s, it was impossible to sleep as there was no fan provided.

All enquires met with speedy, polite and professional responses.

Thank you Pierre and Jeannine for an amazing personalized stay.

Pleasant good-willed staff, with bits of English spoken.

The whole place seemed to be run by one lady who looked after reception, ran the bar and acted as waitress in the restaurant.

Two stars hotels are a bit of a lottery in France

The staff where friendly and the breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices including omelette which where excellent.

the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere fantastic.

So if you don't mind some traces of its age, like ceiling with stains from water coming through, no elevator, etc.

It is full of character, personal service, tradition.
