Splendid Hotel Lac d'Annecy - Handwritten Collection
8/10 Good
"The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town. Very walkable and close to lots of lovely shops and restaurants. Spoiled for choice!
Parking was 50% off at the Hotel de Ville parking garage which was helpful. We paid about €6.
The breakfast room was very nicely appointed, and the breakfast had a good selection. We stayed on a Monday and the bar is closed in a Monday so we didn’t experience that.
The rooms are a little tired and I would say small however they way they are put together, including an interior door and the bathroom backing on to the bed wall, means that you don’t hear other guests coming and going, so that was a real plus.
Annecy is a stunning town. We will be back!"
"Staff friendly although we arrived early and whilst our room wasn't ready we were able to park in the secure parking. It would have been helpful if we were checked in at the earlier time and then all we would have needed to collect was our key.
The room had been refurbished however unfortunately we were able to hear a lot of noise from adjacent rooms "
"Comfortable room in a very nice town. Easy to get to the old town and to the train station. Cute style and bathroom not too small as some hotels. Staff very pleasant."
"Hotel is situated at a good location within the old town. Nevertheless, taking advantage of this to deny any functionality or care to bathrooms in rooms and to common places in general is just not fair considering the prices being charged. A shower with full mold in grouts or a hand held shower head with broken height adjuster is just simple disrespect to not only the industry being part of, but also to the guest. This is my second stay in the hotel and it's getting worse as time passes. Never again!"
