Excellent hostel, great value
Reviewed By Nathan MI had a really great stay in this hostel, it’s only a 5 minute metro ride from Gare Part Dieu and close to the metro and tram stops to get to the main sites of Lyon, many are also within walking distance. The staff were really helpful, especially one of the girls on reception (don’t know her name) who pointed out all the important places and things to do in Lyon for me which was super helpful. I stayed in a room of 6 which was spacious enough and had lockers which were big enough for a backpack but not enough for a big rucksack. The shared bathrooms were clean and I didn’t have to wait long if at all. The only issue is that because the bunks are wooded, they were very noisy any times anyone moved at all in bed. Overall, I found the hostel to be great value and would definitely stay here if visiting Lyon again.
2. PLAN B

Plan B Hotel – Living Chamonix is a lifestyle concept where you’ll find everything you’re looking for to live the best experience in Chamonix. The hotel is built around its large living space of over 700 sqm. There, you will find a large central bar and a restaurant where healthy and local food will be served. There is also a pop-up store, a space for children, games (billiard, table football, board games), and even 2 bowling lanes to make a nod to the history of the place. Finally, for the more studious, you will enjoy the lounge area or the conference room. And don’t forget to relax at the spa! For your accommodation, you will have the choice: from a single bed in a dormitory to a 2-bedroom, fully equipped, apartment and passing through a whole series of room categories to satisfy both the solo traveler, a couple, a family or a group of friends. The location is great, just next to the main bus station that will take you to the different ski resorts (even in Italy and Switzerland) and to Geneva airport as well. Aiguille du Midi cable car is at 300 m and the city center is 5 minutes’ walk. As you can see, it is a real place of life where locals and visitors come to mingle.
Charming Hotel
Reviewed By dr_suchetThe hotel is located just in a perfect location, just a few minute walk to the town center. Plan B is not a big hotel in size, but it is so packed up with excellent hotel staff. They are so friendly and very helpful. The room is a very good size with a balcony and a million dollar view. A big and comfortable bed and a flat wall tv is just a plus side. Although the breakfast is too simple, they should have more variety dish to choose from. Other than that, I love this hotel and I would strongly recommend you to check it out while you are in town. The room price is very reasonable.

Not worth it, would not recommend
Reviewed By Tourist784972I stayed in a 8 person female room with two friends. Overall not a great experience. Creepy neighborhood, we need not feel safe walking around. Weird drunk men, definitely wouldn’t want to walk around alone (as a woman). The people in our room were a bit loud. A previous hostel I stayed at had blackout curtains around each bunk which was great—here there is nothing like that so if light/noise bothers you sleeping is not great, not very restful. The storage for bags is awkward and very loud to open and close. Bring your own locks/towels/shampoo. The blanket was very thin and not large enough (I am pretty short too, 5’4”). People talked a lot at night which made it harder to sleep.

Spring time in the Alps at this little gem of a place
Reviewed By leannet263Came for the Easter weekend, most places in our budget range were fullty booked. So this hostel popped up but I had my reservations being an older couple who have had our fair share of hostels. Anyway...we booked, we liked it and we highly recommend it. Cosy bar / restaurant with nice views, mixture of different types of people. Nice but basic rooms (it's a hostel). Friendly staff with a chilled singer some nights. Good cleaning standards. My only complaint would be the shower. It was basically a shower head and no holder. Great if you like in sat down showers.

great hostel for two English girls who didn't speak much French!
Reviewed By Wanderer395051We recently stayed here and had a wonderful time. We met locals from Chamonix, Alaskans, Finnish and French staying here! Every night there was a band or DJ in the main bar which was a great opportunity to socialise. Very helpful staff who were patient with our poor French language Also a HUGE discount on ski passes! I would highly recommend over other hotels in Chamonix having stayed in a few.

desapointing experience in HUB_Grenobe
Reviewed By 457outyOn night is ok, but then: the bathroom are at the 1rst floor and the dorms at the 2nd floor..so you have to move to take your shower , burst your teeth or go to toilet. In Fact there is a bathroom in the dorms but it is locked because of the covid: so they said.. Welcome is not very friendly..you must know all their rules without displaying them. And don't ask questions: because they have no time to answer it. Breakfast pretty expensive 12Euros, parking 12Euros, And you're not allowed to serve yourself. You can't cook on your own, no even a Microwave oven..; a café machine is in the restaurant but you need to ask for access. But you can it in their restaurant about 10 Euros to 20 Euros. a working room exist but most of the time is hired (associations) or closed; so excepting the dorm you haven't any place to go in this hostel. Bed are ok, but you have to make it when you arrive (even late in the evening) and so awake the dorm.
9. Le Refuge de Solaise
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 47 reviews
Séjourner au Refuge de Solaise c’est revenir à l’essentiel. C’est être spectateur du lever et du coucher du soleil à 2551 mètres d’altitude. Le Refuge de Solaise se trouve au sommet de la montagne de Solaise. Il est accessible en télécabine. Il dispose d'une vue panoramique sur Val d'Isère situé 700m plus bas et offre sans aucun doute l'ensoleillement le plus long du village. L’hôtel est composé de 16 chambres, 4 appartements, deux restaurant dont un Italien, un bar, un spa avec une piscine de 25 mètres dominant la vallée, une boutique, une belle salle de jeux pour les enfants et enfin une salle de séminaire avec vue sur les montagnes.
Amazing for a treat !
Reviewed By Megx91We booked a night in the hotel as we had eaten here before but never stayed. It was lovely to be up the mountain and confined to the hotel when the lifts shut at 1630. It was a Monday evening and the hotel was very quiet, meaning the spa and pool were empty. It was like having private facilities. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and attentive and the food was amazing! The beef in particular. We had some drinks before dinner and the bar woman was superb. She gave us recommendations on cocktails and made us the best Moscow mule we have ever had. Loved the chilled atmosphere in the bar after dinner. A game of chess on a beautiful board whilst enjoying after dinner drinks. The breakfast was included in the room and the selection was amazing. So much fresh fruit and pastries. We couldn’t fault it. Again the staff were brilliant, moved us to a window seat as soon as one was available so that we could enjoy the stunning view. We couldn’t fault our stay here and will definitely be returning.

Staff are terribly unfriendly!
Reviewed By pennie_xoA friend and I recently stayed here for a night. The hostel is a bit basic, but is clean enough. It's up a steep hill, but the view is definitely worth the climb/trek. The front desk is closed for a big part of the day. When we arrived, a female member of staff let us put our luggage in a little room and let us use the shower but couldn't check us in as they'd closed the desk for the afternoon.The staff are (as someone else has mentioned) incredibly unfriendly & often downright rude. My friend & some of the younger guests we'd befriended had planned on going into town for dinner, but due to a thunderstorm, we decided to have the pizza, salad and dessert offered at the hostel for 10euro instead. There was a sign for the menu, but no mention that we had to pre-order, so my friend and I just assumed you turn up, eat and then pay like a normal restaurant. At supper time, we went to the dining room as a group, where the same gaunt looking man was extremely rude to my friend & I, actually shooing us like rats & kicking his feet at us to get out of his dining as we hadnt pre-ordered. Everywhere else was closed, so we couldn't get any food. The gaunt looking man then refused to take our plates to be washed with everyone else's, insisting we had to wash them ourselves. Later that evening, I was in queue to use the computer when the girl before me finished. I clearly asked her if she was finished and she clearly said I could use it as she was done. Half way through checking train times on the internet, the same man rushed up to me, telling me to get off the computer and the same girl who'd move had to use it- even though she was protesting against him. I explained that she said she was finished, and that I was using it and was only checking trains to Marseille. He became really horrible and told me to use my smartphone. I told him that she should use her smartphone or wait! I definitely wont be staying here when I return next summer, and definitely won't be recommending it anyone.
