Auberge du Bois Prin

The most striking impression initially is the incomparable view of the Mont Blanc massif from this property. I can't imagine a better location. The staff, bar none, was superb and paid attention to every need. The restaurant was very good. Highly recommend this property!

Awesome view of Mont Blanc. Excellent restaurant and very friendly staff. You will never want to leave the property during your stay.

This is a beautiful hotel. Our room was spacious and cozy, with a beautiful balcony facing the Mont Blanc. No AC, as this is apparently the norm in the region. It gets a little hot during the day, but nighttime gets cooler, so it is bearable. The only major complaint I would have is the terrible internet, which wasn't working the entire stay. At this price, one would expect to have a decent wifi. As I mentioned it 3x to the staff, they eventually told me they were aware of the issue. What bothers me most is that being aware of the issue, they never offered any compensation such as a free breakfast voucher, for instance. I think one would expect better customer service from such an establishment. Aside from this, our stay was flawless.

This is a GEM and so is Chamonix!!! Chamonix is in a narrow glacial valley directly below Mont Blanc (and you can easily see Mont Blanc and many of the alpine peaks easily and completely visible from the town). On the mountainside opposite Mont Blanc is the Auberge. Originally, we wanted to stay in town near the lift to Aiguille du Midi. Glad we did not. Chamonix is a busy tourist town, and the lift is also busy. Auberge du Bois Prin likely has the BEST VIEW in all of Chamonix of the Mont Blanc Range and peak. All its rooms face the mountain peaks. It has a dozen rooms. It looks like an alpine chalet, flower boxes and all – beautiful. Inside is clean, modern and mountain rustic. The room was very, very spacious as was the bathroom. Rustic, expensive looking. Beds are very comfortable. Windows looked out to the alps. From my bed I would go to sleep looking directly at Mont Blanc. We also had a balcony looking toward the alps. What more could you want!!! There was one problem, however, there is no air conditioning. Because the windows do not have screens, we had a choice between mosquitoes (yes, there are alpine mosquitoes) or overheating. The hotel was quick to provide a fan which helped greatly. Was surprised that in the morning when I stepped onto the balcony it was cold despite the overheated room. There is an elevator in the hotel to assist with luggage. Breakfast was served on an outdoor deck and in a nice indoor space. Everything was fresh and great but how can you go wrong with continuing a view of the alps and Mont Blanc. The hotel staff and serving staff in the restaurant were more than outstanding. The restaurant is a Michelin star rated restaurant for dinner. The town buzzes with tourists, a variety of restaurants, bakeries and ice cream stands and so much more. Parking is just enough for those staying at the hotel (and it is free). One can walk into town by way of steep streets. A mile or less. One more thing; the photos of the hotel placed by management DO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE what you get - unreal beautiful!

Lovely property, kind staff, panaromic views, and quiet location in the foothills. 10 minute walk to center of town. Perfect!

Absolutely stunning views from the balcony. Free parking and close to town. Definitely recommend!

Great hotel and on of the best spa's I've used, an I've used a lot during my travels.

Exceptional place to stay. Staff are amazing and the food in the restaurant was some of the best we have ever had.
