Loved the Folie Deuce. The entertainment and public spaces are excellent—10/10. Breakfast was great. It is also an excellent base for skiing Brevent/Flegere. But our room felt as dark and unappealing as an 80’s motel room. The sauna was crowded and the spa, in general, was pretty unremarkable/dated. I am not sure if I would stay there again, but I would definitely plan on après ski or dinner at one the restaurants. It’s the best spot in town!

My stay at La Folie Douce was exceptional. The entertainment and the convenience of having the slopes right within walking distance to the gondolas was perfect. I have to say that the check in staff were great. Seb in particular went above and beyond to make sure all my questions were answered and help me find a technician to repair my GoPro casing. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay in Chamonix, with easy access to the slopes, making our ski days seamless. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was cleaned daily, maintaining a high standard of comfort and tidiness. The après-ski atmosphere at the terrace was also fantastic, with a lively and inviting vibe. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Chamonix!

Great ski-in/ski-out option

Great ski-in/ski-out option for families and those looking to party alike. My only criticism is that the pool area needs an overhaul. The pool was freezing and the Hamam is falling apart.

We really enjoyed the unique shows that are put on every evening: dancing, singing, saxophone, aerialist. The Jannsen Bar area is always hopping and serves lovely cocktails. There are tables to hang out and play games in the evening after dinner, making it family friendly too. Room area was quiet at night. Neat to have the Savoy poma right there to take you to the Brevent Televabine. We will recommend it to friends.

La Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix is fun to stay at; however, the service can be improved, facilities need a facelift, and housekeeping staff need to pay more attention to cleanliness. I'd stay there again despite all that.
