Overall the hotel is nice but could use some improvements. The beds are terribly uncomfortable and so hard. The staff was lovely but limited for certain services. Suggest putting more support to bellman, concierge, etc vs maybe your nightly entertainment. Spa needs a complete upgrade, I would call the sauna, lockers and pool area a Spa at all. Lastly, the loud base from the music nightly till late into the night was a bit aggressive. We were on the 3rd floor and could hear the base. If we would have been a floor lower we would have had to move rooms. You have a great location and nice hotel, just needs some upgrades and fine tuning for sure.

We stayed at La Folie Douce in Chamonix from Thursday to Sunday last week as a family with young children, and we had a great experience. This is clearly a festive hotel, popular with younger guests and couples, but we felt it was also very welcoming to families. Our children had a fantastic time throughout the stay. They loved the game room, which became one of their favorite spots, and we even used the outdoor pool despite the cold weather — the water temperature was perfect and made for a memorable experience. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, yet well managed. Noise was never an issue for us; everything settles down around 10pm, so nights were peaceful and we slept well. The rooms are on the smaller side, but very clean, well maintained, and functional. They accommodated our family comfortably. Service was a highlight. The main desk team was consistently cordial, kind, and proactive, always ready to help with a smile. Food options were also very good. The pizza at the outdoor restaurant was excellent and a big hit with the family. We also dined at Le Petit and ordered pasta — the quality of the food was outstanding. We didn’t use the spa this time, but from what we saw it looks high quality and well designed. Overall, a vibrant and fun hotel that manages to balance a party atmosphere with a family-friendly environment. We would definitely return.

The location was fantastic, very central. Great entertainment. Breakfast was fantastic but other food options were limited. We were close to external restaurants but we were tired and cold and would’ve liked more healthier options at the hotel. The heating didn’t work in our room, service did come and attempt to fix it, we thought it was fixed but it wasn’t, it was very cold.

Majority of staff are amazing, courteous and very helpful. However, there is no room service, and when asking how I could get take away from the restaurant at 2100 one night they said nothing was available and couldn’t help. This was in contrast to what staff had said earlier that evening saying I could anytime the restaurant was open. Not something you’d expect from a 4 star hotel.
