Hotel Walser Courmayeur

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of August prior to a UTMB event. The hotel was a short walk from the town and only a 2 minute walk if arriving by bus. The good bits. Staff were super friendly and would go out of their way to accommodate you. The aperitivo between 5pm and 8pm was a lovely touch and much better than most of the nearby bars…and free (not subsidised through drinks prices). The highlight for this hotel was the garden area, which was a nice place to chill out before going out for dinner or for a drink at the end of the night. Never too busy, but a nice vibe and good background music. Drinks were reasonably priced. Rooms were clean, tidy and a decent size. Shower pressure was good. Things to note. Our room was at the front of the property overlooking the dual carriageway. We knew this beforehand but it was 24° (felt hotter) and stuffy when we stayed. With no air-con, we had to sleep with the windows open and the traffic noise was a pain on some nights, although the hotel do provide ear plugs. Rooms would benefit from being modernised. The breakfast was average at best. Overall, we feel the hotel deserves 5 stars based on relative value for the area and its 3 star status. There are two ‘5 star’ hotels in town but having visited both… not sure either are worth paying the extra for.

This hotel is in a convenient location to town, near to the bus station. Our room was well appointed, clean and the breakfast was substantial. Staff were very helpful. It is close to an overpass but not noisy. Would recommend for a short stay.
