Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a delightful surprise with spacious rooms equipped with all the expected facilities. The views from the large two-bedroom 1 1/2 bath were amazing, although some aspects felt slightly outdated for a five-star hotel.
The hotel is located in a lovely quiet village next to Annecy Lake with a stunning view, offering great comfort and friendly service. The rooms are clean and cozy, but they lack the expected luxury. The dining experience is limited but satisfactory, and the location is ideal for exploring the area.
The hotel offers spacious, well-decorated rooms with beautiful views across the lake, though some aspects may fall short like not being informed about local restaurants. The service is welcoming and accommodating, especially for families. The location is ideal for exploring the area, and the dining options are good quality but with room for improvement. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious and nicely designed rooms with the potential for future redesign. The dinner options may be overpriced. The service is professional, though some room availability issues were noted. The location provides stunning views, but some inconveniences with dust and construction noise. The dining experience could be improved in terms of pricing.
