Hotel du Clocher (Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France)

The breakfast available at the hotel was delicious, many people commented that whilst it was a simple meal, they enjoyed it as it provided the fuel they need for a day exploring the Chamonix valley.

A number of previous guests to the hotel remarked that the free parking was very convenient, as parking is generally limited in Chamonix.  In addition, guests noted that the Wi-Fi was reliable and the signal strength good which let them use their devices with no trouble.

The hotel is very close to the ski lifts and the centre of town and a number of reviewers mention that the proximity to the lifts was a highlight of their stay as it was easy to ski all day then visit Chamonix bars for an afternoon apres ski.

A number of people who have stayed at the hotel did not have positive words about the tiny and cramped rooms.  The cleanliness of the rooms also did not get positive reviews with many guests commenting that the dust and the dirt was very obvious around the room.

Some guests were very disappointed by the lack of sound-proofing between the rooms. It seems that you get to know your neighbours very well in this hotel. Guests also commented that there was a general lack of maintenance throughout, with some guests noticing broken fixtures and fittings that needed some attention.

A number of reviews specifically signalled out the owner of the hotel as being a little grumpy.  Some thought that the owner could have brightened their mood before dealing with their guest, so as not to offend.
