Auberge de Jeunesse HI Chamonix Mont-Blanc Hostel

I had a great stay at the hostel. Room had six beds. The other guests were kind, friendly and respectful. I slept well. The hostel has a great environment and provides low cost access to services including lift passes. The only disadvantage is its location a little far from the town and the lifts. However, direct bus services runs every 30 minutes from the hostel to the town and the lifts. The town is about 10 minutes away by bus and the lifts about 25 minutes (Flegere) or 45 minutes (Les Grands Montets).

I stayed here for two days whilst on a course and really liked it. It's quite a long way from the main part of town and the Brevent and Midi lifts but it's mostly young people there so they can walk the 30 mins or so into town. The rooms are bunk-beds with sinks and a mirror but the storage is lacking. Breakfast is decent as is supper, although they have this tedious 'no meat' thing to save costs which they dress up as being about the environment. There is a large, pleasant garden outside and a decent bar downstairs with a glitter ball etc - all very French, naff and 80s. The storage for skis etc downstairs has washing machines as well but it's pretty scruffy and wasn't much good for drying my kit. Lastly the receptionist was lovely when I lost my key and didn't charge me for another.

Good locations,great peoples, and lovely staff services. Rooms are in cozy with nice views. Good rental ski equipment deal.

Hello, we would like to stay for 2 days in your hostel, have heard a lot about this place. 🤩🤩 can somebody please tell me is it true that hostel offers ski passes, discounts on skiing equipment and free busses? 😱 i watched about it in youtube of « Orel and reshka » . can somebody confirm pls? thank you a lot🥹🤍

From a TMB / YH perspective: The rooms are good and beds are comfortable. The shared bathrooms (men's) are a little small. The views are fantastic. The service is excellent. The food is good (would be excellent if they had pain au chocolat every morning). The location is away from the hustle and bustle of "downtown" Chamonix (about 30 mins. walk) but easily accesible by bus or train. We stayed here before starting our 10-day TMB hike and when we got back into town after...

Cant complain. Affordable hostel with comfy rooms, good breakfast and if you order the dinner you will not be disappointed. Great atmosphere at the foot of the mountain, lots of hikers or adventurers. And in the evenings live music at the bar.

The place was okay, not the best of course due to the price, but afterall it was OK. 4 beds dorm, with 2 sinks inside the room and a place to put your bags under the bed. And a something that look like a wardrobe but not to put your clothes on it. Checking in was easy and it was very close to the bus station which makes it a plus. 3 main houses, 1 for reception and dining area and pub and 2 houses for dorms. Breakfast had pain au chocolat 🤩 It seems that they cut off the power sockets next to the beds at night intentionly which eventually I had to use the one next to the sinks to charge my mobile and share it with the guests Bathrooms are horrible to be honest in terms of space for a big guy like me, I had to use the ones in the reception next morning Overall it was okay and I would return if needed.

It's one of the best affordable places in Chamonix. Always a pleasure to return, as the rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is generous and very convenient. The bus station is just outside and makes for an easy commute to the start of hiking trails.
