The owners/staff of L’Aguille du Midi hotel were very accomodating, from having a delicious dinner ready for us on our late arrival, to helping with information on some activities we had planned, and allowing us to check out early for an unforeseen reason. The view from our room was fabulous, breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed our stay!

Small rooms and a bit dated
I think the pictures are a little misleading. The room we were given was very small and the overall hotel was quite dated. The breakfast was EUR14 per person.

Response from Farini Family on 21 Mar 2023
Thank you for your message. I am sorry that the hotel didn't give you complete satisfaction. We have a large program of renovation every 6 months in order to keep and to improve the services of our family hotel which have now 115 years (one of the last in the valley) !

Chamonix hotel for a 3 day weekend ski trip
A lovely hotel with amazing views of the Glacier de Bosson. Staff were exceptionally friendly, the restaurant served excellent quality food, and good value too. On the bus route to Les Houches, Chamonix and La Praz all skiing areas were easily accessible.

Try to look elswhere.
I have given a two star rating for two reasons. One is that the view (not from my window though) is great and the other one is that the breakfast is good (I rate the breakfast as; OK, Good, Excellent and Outstanding, and I also grade them differently according to the continent and within the countries, thus you shall not compare in this case to a US hotel breakfast, but to a French). The room: Quite simple, one double bed, one 18 inch diameter table, two small chairs, and a TV hanging on the wall. That is all (and I did not forget anything). There is a built is closet with shelves and an other part for cloth to be hanged. The real "treatment" however is the bathroom. The sink facet water dispersion is a thin but strong flow, hard to use for anything. The toilet seat does not stay up - some inconvenience in case if you are a man. The Shower: It has a step-in opening of ca. 10 inch, the depth of the shower is ca. 8-9 inches but please deduct from that the facet size. There is a curtain which wraps around you if you foolishly want to close it. I was thinking that what would that mean to anyone if I say that I have never seen anything like that? Not much I guess, but then I made a fair assessment that since the past forty years I spent in an average of 60 days a year in hotel rooms, thus even with the recurring hotel usages I have been over two-thousand hotels, but never seen anything bad like this. Other rooms and baths might be better in this hotel than the one I have given.

Sleepy & quaint hotel
Cute place near Chamonix...outside of the mini-hustle of the main area. No one really seemed to work the reception area - so it took us a while to find someone to check us in & we just left our key at the desk for check out.

Very restful amidst beautiful grounds.
The hotel has beautiful grounds and anazing views to mont blanc and the bossons glacier. It was so wonderful sitting out on the terrace looking at the magnificent mountains. We arrived about 3 pm without lunch and they served us very delicious soup and a plate of ham and cheese which we had in their TV room. The service was truly excellent. That night we wanted to watch the football and they served us an excellent salad which we took on very comfortable seats in front of their TV screen. Spain beat Turkey yay! We stayed only 2 nights and had our own transport to take us down to Chamonix.

A great place to stay when visiting Chamonix!
We visited Chamonix for a long weekend ski trip. The hotel is in Bousson, just a few stops outside the Centre of Chamonix by bus and, if you want to take the train into Chamonix, the station is just across the road from the Hotel. Both are free and are very convenient. We loved the hotel, the friendly and very competent staff, the relatively spacious and well equipped room, sauna and the gorgeous restaurant food. We will definitely return to this hotel again on our next trip to Chamonix.

Chamonix area stay
We had a comfortable stay in this family run hotel. Our room had great views. The hotel restaurant had good value for money, and appeared to be popular with staying guests. The hotel is several kilometers outside of central Chamonix, which may be a significant drawback depending on what you plan to do.

Excellent value, everything you need close at hand
We stayed here a few days in early February 2014, and found the staff to be very polite and helpful. Our room was updated and clean. The restaurant within is top notch: great menu and great food alike; the kitchen was able to accommodate a vegan diet nicely! The sports room for storing ski equipment, and the boot dryers were a big perk for us! The spa, sauna, and gym are squeezed into the basement, but serve their purposes. We watched some Olympics in the bar, while enjoying wine from a bottle we ordered at a previous meal. There was a bus stop and a train stop a very short walk away to access the rest of the valley. We would definitely return to this hotel in the future, and would recommend to anyone that this place is worth considering.

Great hotel close to Chamonix
Lovely family run hotel where the staff are really friendly and helpful. Great position - quiet yet so close to train and bus that with free transport card supplied at hotel that you don't need a car. There are plenty of walks to be done immediately from the hotel. Breakfast is magnificent - a huge variety of cereals, yoghurt, fruit, freshly squeezed orange, cold meats, cheeses, eggs, delicious French bread, variety of home-made jams, cakes and pastries. Such a good breakfast makes for a good day on the ski slopes or walking in the mountains. 4 or 5 course dinner is excellent too. The views of Les Bossons glacier and the Aiguille du Midi from many rooms in the hotel are incredible. For summer there is a pool and tennis court as well as table tennis and billboards. In the winter there is plenty of room to dry boots and clothes. We have had two marvellous stays at this hotel and will definitely be going back!

Friendly family run hotel with great restaurant
We had a standard room which was quite basic but had a comfortable bed. It also had a stunning view of Mont Blanc and the Aiguille de Midi from the window. The hotel has a sauna and a jacuzzi which can be quite busy. It also has table tennis and pool tables and a lounge for relaxing. One of the highlights is the restaurant which combines beautifully presented dishes with excellent service. There is not much to visit in the immediate surroundings but as we had a car we could easily reach the ski resorts of Les Houches and Chamonix.

Lovely Weekend
Very happy with our stay in Chamonix - took a little while to find the hotel Aguille du Midi but from the moment we stepped through the front door we knew it would be a great weekend. Friendly, fun staff, great French food, cosy bar, beautiful room, great views and easy access to the mountains. Will return for sure.

This hotel is a gem. I stayed two nights in Jan 2012 for a weekend's skiing. The place has the charm of an old-style mountain hotel but with all modern facilities, of course. The staff are lovely; very friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves superb food and a view to boot, and there is a cosy bar/lounge and other social areas as well. My room was a bit crammed, but very pleasant --- although it got rather hot, and turning down the heating did not make much difference. The location is in Les Bossons, a 10-min bus or train ride from Chamonix, so, thankfully, does not attract the clientele who come to explore Cham's nightlife. It works very well for skiing, as the bus and train stops are only a 2-min walk away. The hotel sells lift passes and has a deal with one of the ski hires in Argentiere/Cham, so equipment can be returned to the hotel at the end of the stay if you chose to finish your skiing in a different place from where you started. Also, the ski room is actually kept warm at night, so your you can leave your boots on the boot rack and find them dry the next morning -- most unusual, to my experience. My only slight criticism of the entire experience is the flaky (but free) internet reception. In this day and age, internet access should be free AND stable, but then European hotels still do have some ways to go there. All in all, this very reasonably priced hotel was part of a great weekend in Chamonix, and I would be delighted to return.

Appaling Shower
The hotel was very smart but the shower was completely unacceptable to the extent that it made our short visit very disappointing. There was no bath and the shower was incredibly small with a curtain that clung to you as you showered. We eneded up showering with the curtain moved away and mopped up the water afterwards.

Excellent Hotel
We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of February whilst on a skiing trip. Although our room was on the small side (room 6) it was very comfortable and clean. The staff were very pleasant and spoke excellent English. The evening meals were excellent and good value.It is only 2 mins walk to either the bus and train station for a 10 minute journey into Chamonix centre. The last train back from Chamonix is at 8.15 and train/ bus punctuality is a bit haphazard. We would definately recommend this hotel.

Decent hotel with nice views
I stayed only one night during a quick visit to Chamonix and did not have much time to familiarize myself with the hotel's offerings or surroundings. It is however located some 3 km from the center, a bus liaison exists. Staff was polite and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, offering all you need and nice mountain-views. The only negative point was that the heating in my room was turned off, which I only noticed in the morning as it got dreadfully cold. I was able to turn it back on but this was of little comfort as it was time to leave... Nice hotel, would stay there again.

Kurztrip
Wir wurden kurz und bündig mit der Zimmerschlüsselübergabe empfangen! Alle weiteren Infos erhielten wir kurze Zeit später von einer sehr netten Person! Das Gebäude ist alt, aber sanft renoviert, die Zimmer sind sehr sauber. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr umfangreich, die Gartenanlage ist riesig, der Pool zur Abkühlung Gold wert. Wir haben ein bisschen mit den Wanderwegen und dem öffentlichen Verkehr „gekämpft“, den Weg zum Hotel aber schlussendlich immer wieder gefunden! Wir empfehlen das Hotel auf jeden Fall :-)
