My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were in poor condition, with issues like a hanging heater and faulty plumbing, but the balcony view was stunning. The lack of functioning lifts upon my arrival was inconvenient, and the temperature inside was uncomfortably warm for our needs.
Rooms

The rooms were appalling, with a heater hanging off the wall and plumbing in the showers not secured. The blinds didn't work, there were no curtains, and the lifts were out of service on arrival. The temperature was too warm for our comfort, but the beautiful balcony view added a nice touch.

The location of the hotel was excellent, within walking distance of most attractions in Chamonix. The area offered great mountain views, and the spacious surroundings made it convenient. However, the absence of a present manager was noticeable, and the menu options were not on par with nearby restaurants.

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While the options and quality were exceptional, it lacked variety for people following plant-based diets. The setting was nice, but the prices were considered quite high for the offerings.

The facilities at the hotel provided basic amenities like a spa, sauna, access to slopes, ski rental, tourist info, and more. However, some areas like the lifts and plumbing seemed neglected and required maintenance. The value for money in terms of facilities was average.

My stay at Hôtel Alpina was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms offered a gorgeous view of Le Brevent, were spacious but a bit too warm for my liking. Despite that, they were roomy compared to other places I've stayed in the area. It was a pleasant experience overall to spend a night at Hôtel Alpina.

Returning from a skiing session, we had to wait until 3 pm for our room, which was clean and recently refurbished with a very big comfy bed and a nice balcony offering great views. The service was exceptional, recognizing issues promptly and even offering discounted overpriced wine.

The hotel has spacious and well-designed rooms with a walk-in robe area, making it convenient to separate clean and dirty items. While the room size is a bit small, the overall experience was awesome. The service, though friendly, was limited by language barriers and occasional inefficiency. The location is excellent, offering a quiet setting close to downtown activities. The dining, although showcasing a nice view, was impeded by young staff's lack of organization. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel boasts a beautiful setting for dining at an extra cost.

The hotel has good-sized rooms at the back, making it a bit difficult to sleep through the night on three different occasions at three different rates. The service is decent, slightly lacking enthusiasm at the restaurant and front desk, though staff are helpful and accommodating, especially with a Greek ski room available for 2 adults and 2 children. The location is spacious for a family of 2 adults and 2 children, conveniently situated just off a main shopping and entertainment street, but noise from nearby events might disrupt sleep quality. The dining options are good, offering stunning views from the top floor; however, a more varied menu would enhance the experience. Overall, the hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects worth considering before booking.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, although a bit small, were truly unique and interesting. Ours on the first floor had a little balcony with stunning views of the Aiguilles range. However, I wasn't prepared for the lack of preparation for the third person in the room, especially with the radiators turned off, but that didn't outweigh the charm of the room overall.
