Mercure Chamonix Centre

The Superior Double was effectively a junior suite, with two very comfortable single beds that functioned as sofas during the day, with durable covers and cushions on them which could be pulled off at night. It was perfect for a family with two kids. Breakfast was also good and the restaurant was good value for a nice, hotel restaurant in a ski resort when we didn't fancy going back out.

I was surprised that in a hotel of this size there wasn't at least a small indoor pool for the kids, but that's a minor complaint! The shuttle bus stops are a bit of a hike as well.

Badly designed rooms

Excellent breakfast buffet, friendly, cheerful and efficient staff, pleasant dining room.

Our room, in the annexe across the road, was oddly shaped with inadequate storage and a minimalist shower room. The plastic floorboards were not very pleasant to walk on but they were not slippery. If you could get into the shower, squeezing through the gap between the glass wall and the tiled wall (not too difficult for the slim and fit, but hard for an older man with a bad back) the floor was incredibly slippery and dangerous. There were no grab rails or non stick mats (which are horrible, but in this case we needed one) so this shower was inappropriate for all ages. We asked for more hangers which made the storage less awkward (brought very quickly by a cheerful and helpful member of staff) but cannot think how we would have managed if we had booked the room for a week's skiing instead of a weekend wedding. Accor should design their accommodation better than this: it was uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. The bed was good, though, as were the windows and the heating.

They upgraded my room to a minisuite with a view of the mountains, and included the fantastic breakfast. Staff was very helpful, location is perfect for train travelers and easy to get to the mountain lift. A lovely experience.

No

Location, opposite Chamonix Station. Less that 2 mins from the main shopping area.

This hotel is closed to central station and it is very convenient for every places. I could have a good room facing mountains. I want to stay this hotel again.
