About
Open since 1930, the Hotel Des Lacs welcomes guests in both winter and summer and offers quality accommodations in a family atmosphere. Located just a mile from the center of Chamonix, near the lake of Gaillands, the hotel provides the perfect base for skiers and mountain lovers alike as the mountains and ski slopes are easily accessible from the hotel. All 23 guestrooms have been recently renovated to offer guests comfortable living spaces. Some rooms offer wonderful views of the natural setting surrounding the hotel. Guests are welcome to relax on the hotel’s sunny terrace which faces Mont Blanc and enjoy a drink from the bar. Wi-Fi internet access is available in the hotel. There are also free buses and trains that offer direct access to the ski slopes.

Pros +
- Walk to town center (maybe fifteen minutes), convenient bus access (free bus pass provided by hotel), comfy mattress, hot shower, pleasant staff
- Very kind and supportive staff. Safe parking on site.
- There was plenty of parking. Close to a bus stop but if walking to the center it will take about 20 minutes.
Cons -
- No air conditioning (typical for European establishments, though), a *wee* bit outside of town so a little walk to most restaurants (ten/fifteen minutes)
- Very small rooms, very poor breakfast. Quite far from the center. Poor choice for restaurants around.
- Everything was fine.

Veri friendly and polite welcome. Flexible checkin times (room prepared for late arrival). Free parkingNice location for a walk around Lac des Gaillands.
Not a dislike per se, just setting expectations right: not a luxurious place, but clean, tidy and welcoming!
Very friendly staff and cozy hotel
Needs more sockets to charge phones
The hotel was perfect for us. We had two rooms as our base for skiing in Les Houches. The staff were always friendly and engaging. The hotel's located about a 20 minute walk from Chamonix, which was fine for us as we walked in each evening. Les Houches ski area is a 10 minute drive down the valley. The hotel also has good bus and train access to and from Chamonix. The rooms were always well cleaned, appropriately sized, with plenty of storage and a simple but functional en suite. The views from the balcony are spectacular. Always great to stay in a hotel with its own free car park!

Not directly in the city center but a bus brings you there within 15 min, quite convenient
Good location for what we wanted. Room was simple but comfortable. Staff were very helpful.
Bit run down, not a great shower, served breakfast and had a small bar but no eating options at night.
Good location and good hospitality , the reception was respectful women , and they have parking ?️
Nothing at all
Cosy hotel with incredible views of Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. Rooms are simple but extremely functional and great value for money. Free parking is extremely convenient and we used the car to visit different resorts. Breakfast is simple but good.
Location and the ease of checkin was excellent.Just around 15min walk from the hustle of the city centre.Small place but cozy and they also provide guest pass that allows you discount on travel passes around the city.Small but tidy rooms, all basic amenities available.

The staff are so friendly, clean rooms, amazing location, and great coffee!
The hotel was superb. Located near to bus stops and station taking you into Chamonix. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel
Clean and quiet room
Cleaning lady left our room open, with a chair making sure the door was open during the whole daySuper old blindsOld furniture Not great breakfast
The room was clean and the cleaning team was always prompt. Breakfast was simple, but had all the necessities. The employees were helpful and communicative. Also, the view! Highly recommend!
Good location close to the center. The price is not too high for this area and August month.
Poor facilities: no hair dryer, no shelves to put little things, no mirror in the room, only one socket under the little desk where the charger does not reach the surface to put on the device, tv very small, in bathroom no hook or shelf to put cosmetic bag or clothes - everything goes on the wet floor or onto toilet, shower curtains wasn't changed - smells, no kettle.., so a bit poor facilities for nowadays. Overall, the room was very empty which makes uncomfortable atmosphere to be inside the room.
The view from our room was probably the best view of the mountains and glacier in all of Chamonix. Staff was very nice.
Bedroom was small. Bathroom was very small. Shower was even smaller. Outlets were inconveniently located.
Perfect location and parking easy and free. Good breakfast and liked the location, being outside of the hustle and bustle of Chamonix
Not really anything to complain about. They did not serve supper or drinks after 9, but there was a great restaurant/bar next door.
Clean and friendly helpful staff.
Would like a kettle in the room.
Lovely hotel with fantastic staff. Room was not big but tidy and bright with a nice balcony. Great quiet location in a beautiful spot.
