Langley Hotel Gustavia

Séjour en famille dans ce charmant hôtel au coeur de Chamonix proche de la gare et centre piéton. très bon emplacement, l'accueil est agréable et attentionné.places de parking à disposition facilité d'accès, chambre rénovée Je recommande .

I recently stayed in the Langley Hotel Gustavia when visiting Chamonix. My room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the service and food was very good. I would definitely consider staying here again at this hotel.

The location is great. The staff are friendly but their local knowledge & advice is weak. The hotel appears to have recently been refurbished as it smells a little of paint & all the furnishings appear new. However, the refurbishment, furniture & design is simply not fit for purpose. The bed/matteress is way too soft & very uncomfortable. The so called double bed is actually 2 single beds pushed together with independent single matteresses & quilts. Niether ideal or comfortable. The lighting is dim & poor, certainly not sufficient for reading, etc. There's no safe box! The bathroom sink is stand-alone & has no shelf or surface around it so you have nowhere to place your toiletries! There is a small shelf above the toilet behind you but it's neither convenient or big enough. The towel rack is too small for the towel & the towel hooks are placed so that the towels cover up the power socket & light switch. They don't allow you to simply buy a coffee or crossant on accasion for breakfast. You have to pay for a full breakfast buffet or have nothing at all. Make sure you don't get a room above the ground floor "Chambre Neuf" bar as the noise from the live music every evening will be horrendous. This could be a great hotel but the style & layout of the rooms & furniture is not fut for purpose or practical & the staff need more local knowledge. It pitches itself as a high end boutique hotel, which is reflected in the fees, but in reality it scraps a 3* at best.

Its a beutiful building on the main streets of Chamonix. Thats where the positive stops, Im afraid. We were a few friends, living in different rooms, the one worse than the other. In general the building smelled like paint and since one of the levels was closed, its safe to asume where it came from. The renovation seemed to happen in strange hours though, so it disturbed in the evenings. I have never been to a hotel with this bad lightening, ever. Its dark, everywhere, and especially in the rooms. We barely saw what clothes we took on, that says enough. One of the rooms were so small we did not even have space to open the suitcase and unpack. But, there were nowhere to put our things anyway. Actually really bad space for hanging clothes, putting things overall and yeah, its difficult to stay in these rooms. The bathroom, also minimal and quite unhygenic. Its in need of renovation. The showerdoor did not stop the water, leeding to a pool on the floor after every shower. And who the f*** still have a glasswall and sliding doors ?! Thats the room which actually had a showerdoor, the other shower was wide open. And lacked the complemantary shampoo. (Which was also used as soap). The heating is of, in different ways through out the building. There is no skiroom as I know it, instead there is a small shed on the yard to put the skis. It smells nasty and has no organisation or heating to dry your gear. A yoke. They have afterski in the building, every day. This is disturbing all over the building but if you are unlucky you will get a room right above and can not count on beeing able to sleep. The location is not bad, but it is quite a walk to all the skibusses. We hade the halfboard package and apart from unexperienced staff and doubtful service, the food were actually surprisingly good. The breakfast however was varied depending on day and time. The cheese could have dried, there was enough bread and things like it. So as you have understood at this point, we were all very dissapointed and critical towards this place. Too bad, the building has more to offer.

Good hotel, nice location, nice breakfast. Everything was comfortable and I don't have anything to complain about really. The rooms are comfortable whilst not the highest quality ever. Overall a good experience.

No doubt that the hotel is old and worn in places but it feels like the owners have prioritized items as the bed and the loo. The bathroom had a really foul smell of sewage at times. We had a room overlooking the street and some evenings we could hear party on the outside. But every time it was quiet at ten. The food is amazing. Well cooked, high quality. The staff is wonderful. Young and eager to help.
