French Alps hotel guide. Mona Lisa hotel in French Alps, France

"The hotel is about 40 minutes walk from the centre of Annecy, which is fine as its more relaxing to base myself rather than in the hub of the old town. Also theres not any shops so youll need to get stuff in the town. There isnt a fridge which is much needed due to lack of shops. So i had the buffet breakfast there as there werent any cafes nearby. The buffet had plenty of croissants, citus fruits, meats, cheeses, cereals, breads and cakes. So it is a fair price for €15. The room is small but i did have a glimpse of the lake. There are blinds that have an electric switch to turn them on/off. Cleaniness could have been better - blinds were dirty as were heater rails. Receptionist was lovely and very helpful. All in you stay for the view and being close to the lake. "

"Room was basic but perfect for two nights! DJ and singers were amazing in the evening and the location of the hotel was perfect. They didn’t warn us that there was a £200 deposit when you get to the hotel and they only accepted a physical card, so make sure you have this as you could get very stuck. "

"Great location. Nice view "

"We stayed in a basic room looking over the back. Front facing rooms are premium and overlook the lake. Room was ok. Cleaned every day and Nespresso coffee machine was a bonus. The mattress protector was poor and caused issues sleeping on a night. I can’t comment on food as we did not eat in the restaurant but drinks in the bar were fine and reasonable price."

"Luxurious hotel with attentive staff in a wonderful location. Close enough to enjoy Annecy but far enough away to feel tranquil and relaxing. My only negative is that we weren’t given any information at check in and there are some hidden extras - for example breakfast is not included in the price and is €25 per person per day, we were not told this in advance and so the €150 on our room at the end of the stay was a bit of a shock. To park in the hotel car park is also extra although you can park for free on the road. "

"All staff were so helpful and it was a lovely location just a very short walk from the city centre."

"Beautiful room with view of the mountains. Right across the street from the beach. Loved the water machines on all floors. Nice balcony."

"Exceptional stay, friendly and helpful staff."

"Très belle endroit agréable"
