Ibis styles Sallanches pays du Mont-Blanc

I have been visiting France for many years and I LOVE the country. I favour the south because of the amazing weather and because it is close to Italy and to Spain but I have visited many towns and cities over the years. This hotel in Sallanches is excellent for travellers and in the same large area there are two Ibis Hotels and then loads of shops and bars, all near to a large Carrefour super market. The Style is lovely and has some covered parking which is GREAT when travelling by motorbike. Rooms and the bar are great. So what is not to like? Er. The staff. It seems from my experience that the French people are NOT good at serving and helping other folks, period. Last time I met with the Manager and he was sooooo kind, he moved his own motorbike to make space for mine. BUT the folks who work for him in reception are the opposite, they really do not seem to want guests!! The first TWO times I walked into reception with helmet and waterproofs they tried to direct me to the Ibis Budget, so I am a Budget kind of guy???? Awful. BUT the hotel is excellent. Despite them.

We arrived late and left early so did not have much experience of this hotel but what we did experience was good. In terms of ibis styles individual design this hotel's was lovely and imaginative, with a great Alpine/alpinism theme. The rooms were comfortable and pleasant. The breakfast was very nice too. The staff were very friendly. There is secure parking shared with the ibis budget next door.

Modern hotel and helpful staff Very good location and plenty to parking. Nice comfortable bed and facilities Bar nearby and good value, enjoyed steak Lovely breakfast Only criticism was the bathroom had disabled shower so floor got wet and not pleasant. Was annoyed hotel staff lied and said it was Italian bathroom.

This is very much a "no frills" hotel. No tea/coffee making in the room and the in-room chair was so cheap no-one would ever sit in it. But the bed was comfy, the bathroom very good and the towels better quality than some luxury hotels I've used. Decent breakfast, better than I expected.

Room: Nice, clean, modern, but the sheets are as noisy as paper. Breakfast: Great! Lots of choice - continental or English or both! I ate like a pig. Dinner: DO NOT EAT HERE! Dinner consists in substandard microwaved meals or pizzas. Limited drinks too. There are some takeaway menus in the reception, I wish I saw them earlier! Not walking distance from any restaurant. Service: Great! Everyone friendly and attentive. EV chargers: 4 of them and they cost 6€. Parking in those spots is very tight. Dogs accepted everywhere, that was good.
