Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin Holidays from £129

Well located for the part dieu train station. Easy to find and easy to check in. A little walk to the two rivers and historic centre, but worth doing for the general vibe of the city. Overall, clean and good facilities.

Thank you for the service

Let me start by saying that whatever you do, book the largest room available but NEVER the room for 4 which is too small for humans. The room occupancy is calculated based on the usage of the most basic of sofabeds and trust me, you want a proper bed. So if there is 4 of you then book for 6 or as I said - as large as possible. The flat we stayed in was basic but clean and functional. The bathroom was super and the bedrooms as well. The kitchen/living area is quite small and the balcony was to small for 3 even though we stayed in a flat for 6. The complex has an excellent pool which is very popular with guests. The reception is not always manned by when it is, we found the staff super nice and helpful. Please note that you have to clean after yourself before you check out. Our first impression when we arrived was not great but La Feclaz really grew on us while we were there and we were somewhat sad to leave. La Feclaz has a several fairly basic, reasonably priced but ok restaurants but don't expect gastronomy. The village does however have a truly excellent little supermarket with all you need again at reasonable prices. Attaced to the supermarket is a laundrette which is the only place you can wash clothes. In terms of things to do, as a family we highly recommend the very well signed local hiking paths which are great for families as well as seasoned hikers. Cyclists are also in for a treat as the climb from Chambery to La Feclaz is 1100m and steep.

Hotel itself is beautiful. Pool and amenities as advertised. Staff are well trained, professional, and very friendly. The room fit and fondue do not reflect the price - layouts are quite strange, ie. no sink on the same floor as the toilet and shower. And Bring your own mattress because the beds are exceptionally uncomfortable. Location would be the main reason to stay

I booked this property for the pool, which did not disappoint. About 20 meters long with hot tub attached. Also had a steam room and full spa services(which I did not try). We ate light lunches at the bar and breakfasts in the small dining room. There are 3 very good restaurants adjacent - we tried fixed menu at two and were not disappointed - plus the views were very nice. (The third is Michelin Star rated). If you book, suggest you go for breakfast included as it is a bit pricey for the buffet. The staff was superb and extremely helpful, especially the concierge. This boutique hotel earns its 5 star rating. Only drawback was that Vieux Lyon was a steep walk about 15 min down hill. Maybe take taxi back if you have mobility issues.
