Hotel Mercure Chamonix Les Bossons

Stayed one night en route to Switzerland. Staff really friendly and helpful. Room felt a little dated, esp with the brown paint on walls and ceiling - but was clean and comfortable and quiet. The room had plenty of space, although one of the chairs was broken. Restaurant was fine, with nice food and good service despite us getting there near closing time. Woke up in the morning to great view. I'd happily stay again.

Poor management and demoralised staff make for an unpleasant stay. Hotel needs closing, remodeling and updating to make it competitive in an area where there are many much better hotels available. Mercure Bossons was good 20 years ago but is not relevant now. However, the current room cleaning crew are doing a good job against all odds.

This hotel is located quite far away from Chamonix. We stayed here for two nights during Mont Blanc Marathon, since almost all hotels in Chamo center were fully booked. The hotel has a perfect location for few hikes: You can walk to Bossons glacier and Merlet animal park from the hotel. Both places are behind a good hike (2-5 hours). The breakfast was ok. The pool was closed due to fire :( Avoid rooms towards the motorway. This was a good budget option during a peak moment, but next time I shall stay closer to Chamonix.

O hotel é muito bom, fui muito bem recebido e os funcionários foram muito simpáticos e acolhedores. As instalações do hotel são muito boas, a piscina, o jacuzzi e a sauna são uma mais-valia. No geral esta unidade hoteleira é bem sossegada, fica a 5 minutos do centro de Chamonix. Tenho pena que numa das noites em que estive hospedado o bar tenha estado encerrado.

Not much to say on this. Brown, brown and more brown. Anything that can be painted brown is. Textured wall paper painted what colour….. yes brown. Building work on a new chalet started early in the morning waking a little boy, not their fault but irritating. Reception staff were brilliant, cannot fault them at all, super helpful and offered a complimentary breakfast and refunded our second night with no hassle. They are just let down by the serious under investment in the property. Even the car park was run down with wonky lamp posts and big pot holes. Breakfast despite being offered for goodwill was awful, one young man doing his best but no support from the rest of the staff, really felt for him. Random people walking in and out of what appeared to be the kitchen, very off putting. Quality of food poor, not a patch on the many other Mercure hotels we have visited throughout France.
