Reviews of Chamonix centre - WIFI - Parking - Rés Aiguille du midi

I like the location and the size of the room

It's' great to have a free parking, but. You have to get into the apartment with not an easy place to park, take out the luggage, then collect the garage key and park the car 500 m away.

Been skiing in Chamonix for over a decade, stayed in various locations around the town, but this place ticks all the boxes. Compact but everything you need, including washing machine great oven, 2 pan hob and microwave. Excellent value and Louis communication before arrival was exceptional. Yes it is tricky to locate but welcome to Chamonix, comes with the territory. Having secure parking is superb, as this can be tricky during the high season and being a a short walk into the centre is ideal. Thankyou Louis, will book again 🙏

Nothing to dislike

Fantastic location, difficult to find even with very detailed instructions

Bed was a basic sofa bunk bed. Owner messaged after we’d booked to say linens weren’t included, glad I took my own as previous reviews state the linens are stained. Owner messaged me at 22.43 reminding me about check out time. Apartment is fine for a couple but any more and it would be cramped.

Fairly good kitchen

Apartment seem to be small for 3 adults

Central location

Difficult to locate Stairs only, no lift. Charged 10 euros extra for sheets and towels. Host implied cost would include bed to be made, but bedding left in a pile on bunk.

Clean, just as advertised, communication prior and during stay were outstanding.

Luggage storage

Extra payment for linen wasn’t mentioned when the reservation was made

Very cozy and in the heart of Chamonix. Amazing spot

Nothing about it I did not like.

The apartment has massive potential but small adjustments to host operations are definitely needed.

Apart from the apartment not being clean the cutlery, glassware, plates and pots dirty also the toilet seat was full of urine . To be honest the quality of the bedding is extremely poor. If we had to pay for it additionally we would not stay in the apartment. The pillows are so used that it’s a shame the housekeeper thinks they are ok to be still slept on. Also second bigger knife would be helpful as you only have one little knife.

Location is really amazing in the center of chamonix and all the restaurants are right outside. It is a bunk bed and a sofa down. Place was clean and instructions were clear.

There was no tissue box in the apartment and the soap dispenser in the toilet was empty. The owner asked for an extra charge of 20€ if we wanted to have clean bedsheets in the apartment.

Location

Shortly after booking I received a WhatsApp from the owner. Like many before me (according to the reviews) I had missed the sentence in the description about the £20 supplement for bedding and towels. As we could not carry this stuff with us on our flight we agreed to pay the supplement. The owner messaged us to say the room was ready a couple of hours early, which was a great help. When we arrived we discovered we had to make the beds ourselves. Upon doing so we noticed the bedding smelt awful. It smelt like many people before us had slept in it, without it being washed. We then noticed the bedding was dirty and stained, sadly confirming our suspicions. It then became apparent that there was only enough bedding for the bottom bunk. The top bunk had no sheet for the mattress, or duvet cover. We then went to check if the towels had been washed. Thy were very old looking, small towels and although they didn’t smell as bad as the bedding they certainly did not smell fresh. We then noticed they were dirty and stained as well. The first cupboard we opened revealed filthy, unwashed dishes. I messaged the owner about the problems. A few hours later he messaged back apologising and waving the supplement cost. This still left us with no bedding in freezing cold Chamonix and a very uncomfortable feeling of trying to relax in filth. I have the impression the owner does not know how to run a short stay accommodation. I can only imagine he thinks he’s saving money by not investing in some nice bedding and towels, or by not using one of the many linen companies that provide services to the hotels in Chamonix. I imagine he think he’s saving money by not paying for a professional cleaning service. However the lack of these basic needs are certainly costing him dearly. As is the lack of communication in resolving complaints/problems his guests might have.

Very convenient. Lovely sink.

Nothing. Really cool apartment.

Great location, Airbnb style flat with self check in, detailed arrival instructions and responsive host. Included parking nearby a big plus.

High price for linens, €10/person, but this seems to be standard practice in the area.

Location, and the fact that it had a kitchen.

There were some basics missing, but not the fault of the owner. No hand soap. 1 roll of toilet paper. We had to purchase some.

We rent 1 room apartments so we not spending inside sitting on the room we are all day outing we need only sleep and wash our face change clothes and …….xxxx for family 2 and 1 child room was w Very tiny room and night room was very hot no a/c or fan inside the room better he must have to improve some quality things to value customers

Excellent location, easy checking in instructions and communication with the owner.
