Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is located in front of the lake, close to everything, very beautiful building. The room had a nice view, clean and spacious. I just didn’t like the food from the restaurant. Overpriced and not excellent.
Camila, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing views and spa
Sahand, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Truly a great hotel, expensive perhaps, but worth it. Only small criticism was the separate toilet, which was really tiny if you are six foot tall. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
Chris, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Really enjoyed our stay, The hotel was wonderful, area perfect, facilities and local amenities very good. My only complaint would be that i paid a lot to stay here for a week, paid for a balcony and got a Juliet windows, which wasn't even big enough for us both to sit at and view the lake. We should have complained, but were out more than in.
Peter, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A treat to have the lake view.
Rick, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Beautiful building, needs some repairs, electrical wiring is not safe. Service could be better. Overall, the building and grounds are beautiful and staff is very friendly and helpful. I loved the views. Annecy is a very special place.

Great team at. Hotel from Reception to conceirage to restaurant Great location
Manish, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The absolute and quintessential French village visit. This place had everything as far as views access to the lake and French cuisine. Don’t hesitate to book The only negatives were the shower. I still don’t understand the 1/2 bath and 1/2 shower combo with a small glass to keep water from getting out. Don’t let it detour you. Great stay and great breakfast. Gorgeous area of the world
