L'Arveyron Open House

good breakfast, quite area

I stayed in one of the dormitories, however you can use the lounge in the main house. It's a bargain as you feel like you're in a hotel for a fraction of the price. The house is a 30 minute walk from the centre of Chamonix. The walk is not along the main road so is quite pleasant. There's also a very cheap bus every 30 minutes or so. The location is stunning and you can ski to the door.

Staff was very friendly and very fluent in English and French. Explained everything in details about the property and the Bus routes and attractions. Gave me maps and everything. Fresh breakfast was ready on time. Room had heater and bathroom had its own heater. Kettle was available to heat the water, Room tea ( self made) options were available. Small soap and towels were given. Room had extra blanket and pillow. Small playground for kids. Lot of parking space. You can sit and relax outside. Common room also available. Bus stop is very near. 5 minutes to down town by bus. Bus frequency is 10-15 minutes during day and 30 minutes in off peak hours.

1. Breakfast was good, and just in case someone is also interested in the dorm: shampoo, soap, and towels are included. 3. 30 mins walk from downtown is acceptable, there is also a bus stop nearby. 4. Located in a quiet area, near to a trail to Mer de glace.

Beds had a plug and lamp each. Lovely lounge area to relax in at any time of day. Beautiful location, very close to a bus stop and walking/hiking/cycling trails. A towel and soap was provided, which was very kind. Polite staff.
