Visitor comments

  • "Probably the cheapest accommodation in Chamonix. No private rooms, just dormitories with bunk beds for 4 people (I was in). Living areas have just very basic furnishing." - Trip Advisor
  • "For the price that we paid, it was everything ok. 4 beds dorm are a very good option. Kitchen it is well equipated and showers are clean. It is just about 800m from Chamonix centre and a easy walk to there, I will visit them again on my next visit to Chamonix." - Trip Advisor
  • "I chose this hostel as I wanted to leave some belongings in Chamonix while I hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc. (I paid €3 per day, though it depends on size & weight.) It was rather cramped but the facilities were adequate, the staff were efficient, plus it was good to get breakfast before setting off early the next day" - Trip Advisor
