The location is just incredible with great views, the rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly. I booked this before the tour du Mont Blanc and it was very convenient. The diner was one of the best I've had in any hostel and the staff was super helpful.

Perfect place with wonderful mountain view. Enough space for parking. Very basic breakfast. Option to buy a dinner is helpful (it is a little bit too late, in our opinion-but we understand when people are coming back from mountains rather later not earlier), Place can be noisy, especially when there is a group of teenagers, but ...it is a hostel. You can rent a towel. There is free bus every 30 min, which takes you center of Chamonix (need to ask for card at reception desk). Recommend it for few nights.

This was the worst stay I’ve ever had at any hostel, ever. The only good thing about this place was the ability to leave at the end. I booked a private room with a private bathroom, yet I was placed in a room that had no toilet!! Not only that, the room had the smell of urine throughout it which was disgusting. It was also so hot, yet you couldn’t open the windows because bugs would come through. No privacy as people would constantly walk past the windows. I had little school kids who were looking inside constantly!! The breakfast wasn’t an actual breakfast. The shared toilets (which I shouldn’t have had to use) were absolutely disgusting. I would highly recommend that anyone who comes to chamonix to not stay in this place.

Achtung! Schlafen sie hier nicht! Das Gemeinschaftsbad ist sehr klein und voller Schimmel. In den Zimmern klebt überall Kaugummi und das Frühstück ist traurig. Selbst für eine Jugendherberge sind die Standards hier quasi non-existent.

Really great hostel with perfect views of mont blanc! However was very loud at night one night despite the noise curfew due to some teens running around and screaming till early hours of the morning. Apart from this it is faultless! Definitely recommend.

Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Hållplats för lokaltrafik ca 50 m från boendet, går var 30:e min. Rummet var enkelt möblerat med två enkelsängar, stor garderob och bord/pall. Välstädat. Frukostutbudet var ok; yoghurt, müsli, kaffe, the, juice, brieost, baguette, croissanter. Kylskåp och mikrovågsugn finns i gemensamma utrymmen men är endast åtkomliga kl 7-23. Wc/dusch-utrymmen rena och välstädade men tyvärr fanns inget varmvatten kvällstid! Ta med öronproppar - det är lyhört!

대만족!!

가성비가 매우 좋고, 생각보다 너무 너무 만족했던 숙소입니다!! 직원분도 친절했고, 조식도 무료에 객실도 오래된 것 같지만 매우 아늑하게 잘 잤습니다. 4인실을 이용했는데, 4명 다 있었다면 조금 답답했을 수도 있겠지만, 2인만 있어서 정말 쾌적하게 잘 이용했어요! 시내에서 멀다는 점이 유일한 단점인데 주변 경치가 너무 너무 좋아서 진짜 좋은 기억이 남았습니다
