Reviews of Appartement Cosy, Chamonix Centre

The location is fantastic, close to main centre and key attractions. It is cosy and we really enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the evenings, which was a great asset.

For 2 adults and 2 teenagers it felt a little too snug at times and although the kitchen had all the utensils it was a little too small to properly cook a meal in.

Perfect size for our family of four. Great layout and space. Washing machine was a plus.

The floors could have been a little cleaner.

We had great long weekend in the apartment. Beauty view to the mountains. Few minutes walking to the city centre. Apartment had everything what we needed. Easy contact with the landlord.

Fantastic views and well furnished apartment.

Apartment needs a bit of maintenance.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and is very close to Chamonix center. The kitchen equipment is also good.

Nothing

Comfortable, cozy appartement with a good location and beautiful view, well-equipped kitchen.

Personal attention of the management lady Benedicte. The location is great for restaurants and the lifts. Would definitely book it again.

Not really a problem but there is no TV. At the moment there is a lot of noise from a building being renovated opposite. From 8am to 6pm in the week.

It was fairly large.

The address provided did not exist. The host later gave the correct address not specifying which room. Getting in was a major problem. The apartment did not look like the photo. It is old, and was stripped bare; there was almost nothing there; we had to ask for hand soap. Our other couple left and rented a hotel room; they paid for two locations instead of staying here (the modern hotel was less expensive and far more comfortable than this old apartment).

Location and size.

Ample space for the 4 of us. Large shower area and a washer/dryer combo which is excellent because we brought limited changes of clothes.

Superb location; in quiet area with views of Le Brévent and the gentle sound of the river. Hosts communication was excellent, and keys were in a lock-box; handy for our 1am arrival time! There is plenty of space to spread out and chill, including a long but narrow balcony. It's right next to the railway line but we only heard the infrequent trains when we had the windows and doors open. We were offered a private car parking space outside (or along the street if it was full but we didn't need it). There's basement storage for snowboards/skis, boots, helmets, etc. The kitchen is suitably stocked, including a large fondue pan and a Krupps coffee machine (though we had to buy our own coffee pods). The apartment was clean, and if anything, a little too warm - but better that way than too cold! Location-wise it's a good 15-20min walk up steep narrow (but thankfully not busy) roads to the Planpratz gondola. Conversely, that makes it a pleasant walk downhill after a day on the slopes! The Brévent ski area is excellent - lots of wide slopes/runs with a bias toward beginners/intermediate - I'd say great area to learn and to progress: the Blue Parsa run with the chairlift return was my favourite for practising turns - a nice mix of steeper sections with nice run offs to flatter areas. There are great lift connections to red and black runs and when we were there the queues were fine (10min wait at most, often 2min). Altitude 2000 cafe served really good food and drinks. There's an excellent and friendly Board/Ski rental en-route about a block away (ChamonixSki dot com). It's 5min walk to the main Av. Ravanel le Rouge for bars, restaurants and a decently stocked mini supermarket (Big Mountain Brew is excellent, and Beer O Clock lets you pull your own!).

The bathroom window is clear glass and could do with some privacy sticky-plastic coating or something - it quickly steams up so just turn the shower on then get ready; even though it's not directly overlooked some mightn't be exhibitionists in that way! It would have been nice to find a handful of coffee pods already in the apartment (they're about 5-6 EUR for 8 in the Spar). The apartment does have WiFi but the internet speed is poor by today's standards (I measured 1.14MB/s down, 0.07MB/s up) - fine for a couple of people browsing and messaging, but I think it'd quickly struggle at full capacity with everyone using it. Some might have to switch back to cellular data (I did to watch the odd video and there were only 2 of us!). Check you have enough data and roaming is allowed and you'll be fine - the coverage even on the mountain was excellent! 🙂

Location was good, apartment cosy, good amenities, good value for money, good host.

Central, spacious, big balcony, easy parking

A bit outdated

The host was fantastic she even came to collect us from bus station because of the rain. The apartment was warm and had everything we needed lovely clean bedding and white fluffy towels. The apartment is in a great location just a short walk from the town. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return

Nothing it was all good
