It was sensational! One of the best evenings that we have ever had. Parked our car at the station (very easy) and took the train up. We were greeted warmly and given a room immediately. Warm, cosy room. All in wood. Great toilet. Had a cappuccino, shower and then went down for the evening. Lovely views. An array of drinks. Including cocktails and single malts. An excellent 3 course dinner with choices... We lingered for 2 to 3 hours. Comfortable nights. Great linen. After a restful sleep had an amazing breakfast... Short walk too What an experience!

🌟 A Perfect Alpine Getaway! 🌟 We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Odalys Prestige Residence Isatis! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The apartment was modern, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc massif right from our balcony. The location is peaceful yet perfectly situated for exploring Chamonix and the surrounding areas. We loved the easy access to hiking trails and the serene atmosphere after a day of adventure. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The wellness area with the heated pool was a dream—especially after long days outdoors. We also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and spacious layout, which made it feel like a home away from home. We would absolutely recommend this residence to anyone looking for a relaxing yet luxurious mountain escape. Can’t wait to return!

First off the location of the hotel is perfectly centered and just a ~8 minute walk to Megève town centre, and far enough to not have any noise. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was very simple but delicious. The bed was comfy as well as the pillows. Dinner came with unlimited dessert which was a surprise, much enjoyed. The bathroom was very neat and tidy. The head concierge Ben was very accommodating and made sure nothing wad short of our stay and wrote us an itinerary and recommendations, which was very helpful and made sure to give us multiple suggestions. The hotel is obviously on the pricer side and that is without the dinners, however i do believe you get what you pay for as the experience and place speaks for itself. The outdoor thermal pools were my favorite along with the outdoor sauna. We asked to be checked in early and all our requirements have been met.

Kudos to the customer service of this hotel. We had to shorten our stay since our bus got cancelled. They were able to accommodate the changes and was able to issue a refund even tho we booked for a non-refundable rate. They also offered a discounted breakfast and other add-ons on which you can book online, making your stay more smooth & hassle-free. The property is located very near the Aiguille du midi lift and the Chamonix Village. It’s also near the Flixbus Bus Station. I highly recommend their breakfast! It’s a very good value for money. The croissants are fresh and the coffee is very good too. There is a machine where you can get your fresh orange juice. The Mont Blanc view from the balcony is AMAZING! Overall, great experience for a first timer in Chamonix. We will return!

Poco Loco was as good as ever. Tried Josephine for the first time and it was excellent food! There 20th - 23rd December. Chamonix was struggling for snow. Fine above the first gondola, but no snow below it. Sign of the times I suppose. Maybe Whistler Blackcomb for the next trip...

Very nice view of the Mont Joly , the windows of the apartment are pointed directly on that mountain. Hiking trails directly at the property, can hike at least 10km(one way) to the 'Refuge de Plan Glacier', like half of the hiking trails are quite wide and easy to walk on. That is pretty much the closest property that can be booked in order to hike to that scenic spot.

Great location if you want to visit Chamonix and Swiss as well. Its 25 min to Mont Blanc and 30 to Martigny (SUI). Its super calm for families, frequent train will take you anywhere, no need to use car. Good if you want to have a calm holiday! In winter for sure great advantage - cablecar next to hotel.

Very pretty and chic village. Snow conditions were poor on the lower slopes but some good runs higher up above 2,000 metres. We were there from 2 to 9 March. Lots of good restaurants, bars and food shops and also some high end shops (Dior, Rolex, Hermes, etc.) Lively village with three mountain streams running through.

We were on a mission to revisit Parc de Merlet with our grandaughter thirty-six years after we took her mother. The Parc delivered, with Chamois, Mouflon and Marmots to enjoy. The views from accommodation on that side of the valley are the best in the valley. In Les Houches village, the local patisserie was visited and a different cake enjoyed every day. There were plenty of paths (including Tour de Mont Blanc) into the forest, for walks from the chalet. Wonderful Alpine wildlife is easy to find. It was convenient to take the free train into Chamonix and take a ride to Le Brevent then walk the ridge and back to the chalet. We did the Mer de Glas, to from Chamonix. We went up to Bellevue on the teleferique and walked across the alp, finding several wild flowers and even a rare Wart-Biter Grasshopper! We then took the Tramway du Mont Blanc down to Saint-Gervais-Les-Bains and had a lovely afternoon in the beautiful park. There was a very tough Via Ferrata for the over 70s (with 50 years experience) and a Go Ape-type circuit with a rock-climb included in the trail for the 10-year-old and her Mamma, then train back to Les Houches. One weekend evening was lively down in the village, but up on the hill we could sit out in relative calm and stare at the sunset on snowy Mont Blanc, stars and the torch-lights of mountaineers picking their way down. All-in-all, very relaxing.
