La Folie Douce Hotels Chamonix

Had an amazing couple of days in Chamonix while staying at the La Folie Douce😍. Got only a budget room as we were spending most of the time out, exploring Chamonix and the Mont Blanc area. Room was ready before check in time so it gave as extra time to explore which was great. Staff was friendly and welcoming, giving us lots of information and recommendations about the area and the hotel amenities. We enjoyed nice evenings watching the cabaret show, while sipping a glass of wine in the bar and lounge area and it was nice and relaxing😍. Hotel has spa, gym and sauna and an outdoor swimming pool which I actually used one evening and was awesome. Sauna and evening swim after a day out on Mont Blanc is all you need😍. Our room was small but we didn't need more as we're out all day, beds were comfy, had kettle,water, teas and coffees provided, toiletries and bath robes and slippers. We didn't try breakfast and the restaurant itself but is was always busy ( maybe next time!). We had fabulous weather as well so we could fully enjoy our holiday. We will definitely come back here, hopefully in the near future and surely recommend to other travellers.

Wonderful place in Chamonix. We stayed there with a group of people for UTMB. The staff is super friendly and the facilities in the hotel are great - swimming pool, sauna and fitness room, great breakfast, a lovely terrace with breath-taking views. The only downside was that there were hardly any vegan options at breakfast. I had to buy my own oats, for example. There was no fridge in the room and no option to store soy milk. We were traveling in a group and had a fixed menu every night. Four of us were vegans and it was all clarified with the hotel in advance. Unfortunately, they did not manage to prepare a vegan dish - the pasta had egg in it, there was cream in the salad sauce, etc. The only option was roasted veggies and potatoes every night. This was quite disappointing. Other than that, it was a great stay.

We loved it! The hotel is quirky and rather wonderful because it is not at all a cookie cutter place to stay. |Positives-|Fantastic family rooms - we had 4 teenagers with us and the cost of multiple rooms is huge. Folie has family rooms for 6 (interconnecting one double and one quad) with, importantly, a shower room and separate toilet in each room. |Breakfast is pricey for breakfast but incredible - try and go once at least. |The public areas are beautiful, luxurious, quirky and just fabulous. |The view from the terraces are amazing. |The pool area always had seats and beds - no sunbed wars here. |The staff were helpful and spoke great english (much better than my french).|The location - in the centre but not in the centre. Literally a two minute walk to main Chamonix pedestrian area but the back of the hotel opens to a paragliding landing field and mountains. |Plenty of parking, albeit expensive). |The views from everywhere.||Negatives -|Parking is expensive even if you're a hotel guest. 20 euros a day. |The rooms were a bit tired - a bit musty, chipped paint etc. |Limited restaurants open in summer in the hotel. For example the one offering local meals such as raclette and fondue is not open in summer. |We requested a quiet room after reading about late night terrace music. In fact in summer in the week at least it was not an issue. We therefore got a room at the back of the hotel on the 4th floor. Great. But not. Every morning at 7ish they were getting deliveries, hosing of the hotel car/minibus etc and making a LOT of noise. So avoid rooms in the real above or near the main entrance.

We stayed here for two night before our Tour Mont Blanc hike and had the best time. The hotel itself is stunning and grand, we loved the decor. The place is so close to town. Just a short stroll. We were especially thankful for Khalid who helped with our early morning requests while every one else was still asleep and things weren’t open yet.

A beautiful hotel, especially the exterior and general facilities! Common spaces are aplenty, all well furnished and open for use. The bar area also comes to life especially from dinnertime, with live performances by talented dancers and singers – I found it a pity that they even had to perform at times where the bar wasn't too filled, yet they still gave their best. Admittedly the room was small. While cozy, it didn't feel like the price of the room was justified (likely exacerbated by the UTMB season). We only stayed a night as a transition to our TMB hike, but I would have enjoyed a longer stay if the price were more reasonable.

Beautiful hotel in equally beautiful location . This is a quieter time of year so the hotel was sedate and calm . Our room was lovely , compact but very clean with a lovely view over the pool and Mont Blanc . It was stunning . We found the staff to be friendly, helpful and welcoming . We ate in the restaurant one night . It was lovely but only a very limited menu . We were entertained by dancers as we ate . It was non intrusive and enjoyable . The town is delightful with so much to see and do . We will definitely return

We had such a good time. Clean, nice rooms with the most Wonderful view to Mont Blanc. The terrasse is perfect for pre-dinner drinks. But best of all is the sweet hotel guide France — she helped us get the most out of our time — and we had unforgetable days in Chamonix.

We checked in here last minute after a disgraceful experience at the Lykke and had an amazing time. Reception was lovely and helpful, the hotel itself is beautiful and the guests are treated to live entertainment and nightly shows. Very nice pool and spa area and most importantly the room was very clean!
