Annecy Hostels

Was an alright hotel. Close to the bus station and train station but a bit far away from the old city and Annecy lac. The area didn’t feel entirely safe for solo female traveler walking at night l. I’d rather somewhere more centrally. Staff were very helpful tho and lovely

I really enjoyed the very friendly staff and being warmly welcomed. It was so refreshing to see happy faces! The room was cleaned every morning, I loved that. The breakfast was tasty with local savoie items. The location couldn’t have been more perfect either. I was shocked to see it was right next to the train station and a couple minutes walk from town. The only thing I would change about this location was the small rooms upstairs and the limited amount of products in the room. We got the 4th floor room, which had a slanted roof. I was fine standing in it, but my husband could only stand in half the room because he was so tall. As far as the products, it would have been nice to have a couple tea bags or cups to go with the tea kettle. Maybe even shampoo or tissues too. Other than that, everything was great! I would definitely book with them again. Very happy with my stay.

Perfect location to unwind, swim and cycle. We booked a privilege room which gave us a small balcony to sit and look across the lake. Note that these are side on to the lake not front facing. We hired bikes from Vincent the concierge (who was amazing, polite, helpful with great advice) and cycled around the lake. The electric bikes were very helpful as it was incredibly steep in parts. We stopped at Baie de Tallories for ice cream and a lovely view. We didn’t pre boom breakfast but did have it both days, very nice but overpriced at €30 pp Quick drink in the bar but didn’t go back as staff were quite rude, very different from the rest of the staff who couldn’t have been more delightful. Great walks into town for food and drinks. Will definitely return (just not to the bar)

The hotel is overlooking Annecy's lake. At it's front door, it seems like we are way deep in the forest and yet we were barely 10 minutes away from the city. The staff is very sweet and professional. We are travelling with our 1 year old he got cute attention from the team at breakfast. Feeling that the hole family is included is priceless. These 2 nights were welcomed rest and relaxation. Thank you to all the staff members that made this gateway a pleasurable one for us!

Hotel was very well located between the station and the Old Town and the staff were always and pleasant helpful. It would have been useful if we could have had our room earlier than 15h00 in the afternoon

Very friendly staff at front desk and at breakfast time. The hotel is very clean, rooms are clean and very nice, and breakfast buffet was very yummy. The location is convenient and a short walk from the Old town. Some things to be aware of: Be careful of the room that you may be given if it is on a lower floor and right over the railway under the hotel. When I first checked in, I was given one of these rooms (might have been 306?), However, before even setting my luggage down, the train rolled through and shook the whole room. I asked the very friendly front desk person (Lucile) if there was another room and she accommodated, by switching me to a room at the end of the hotel. The room was quiet, and was a very nice room. Next, be aware that if you are driving to the hotel for the 1st time, there is no temporary parking area in front of the main entrance, for unloading and check in, as you find at 99 percent of all hotels. You must drive down into the underground garage, go up to the card swipe station, press the intercom button, and they will let you into the garage. Lastly, the parking garage was a bit tight to navigate. My coworker actually scrapped the side of her rental car the first time she pulled in. There is a fee for the hotel parking. An alternative parking is available right next to the garage doors, on the right, which is for the train station. Another coworker of mine used this parking and it is easier to navigate.

If you are cycling in the Alps and want to base out of Annecy (you should) this place is really great. They have a studio apartment on the 5th floor (502 for us) that can in theory sleep 4 (bed + sofa bed) and honestly it wouldn’t;t be too bad if you are students on a budget, My girlfriend and I who were not on a budget stayed here because it has a little kitchen and a balcony. The Balcony is great for bike assembly and storage (see photo) - if you are a cyclist you know what I mean. If you have a tough morning ride and want to chill the little kitchen table and kitchenette is great - you can do French thing and get Bread, Cheese and Charcuterie and chill with a bottle of wine (especially if it’s dumping rain which it did one day) It has a fridge, coffee machine and a microwave, even a bathtub. Additionally, the staff are totally cool. I don’t ascribe the the French are rude maxim, it’s rarely happened to me but these people are super nice and helpful. I bumble about in bad French but they speak English here and are nice about it when Google Translate fails. It has a work area downstairs and breakfast if you want it (we didn’t try it) It has Laundry Machines on site!! You have to pay but they are here without a walk. Take your bibs and kit and wash them in comfort while you drink wine on your balcony. If you aren’t cycling but want a little hotel apartment there isn’t really any reason not to. Final Push: It’s 5 minute walk max from the train station and 10 minutes to anything you want to see in Annecy proper. 5 stars

The location is very good, just a 5-minute walk from the station, there is a temporary parking space at the door (only for in-house guests), the front desk is very welcoming, but the check-in time is relatively late. The room is super small, the door is the bed, and the suitcase can only be placed on both sides of the bed. It is very hygienic, and it is dry and wet. The breakfast is also good, but for the first time, I didn’t pay attention to the reminder and looked at the eggs that were cooked. As a result, I had to cook them myself, which was shameful~~

Excellent location, calm rooms, very aesthetically designed rooms with nice sunroof in both bathroom and above bed. Checkin and check out process was smooth. They have breakfast option inside the hotel, but we have not trued as we overslept both days:).. Highly recommended for couples/ 2 adults stay. They don’t have third cot provision and request only 2 adults per room.Me and my daughter stayed and we enjoyed every bit of it. Only thing i would suggest for hotel, please offer your that free coffee which you set up in the evenings from 1-9pm, in the mornings at-least for an hour. They provide coffee, tea and some biscuits for their guests every evening. Its a nice gesture. It could be extended in the morning too. For few those who skip breakfast, only coffee would be of great help.
