Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Le Whymper

On the upside the Hotel is centrally located and the chap at front of house was exceptional. Room was ok too. On the downside, the bathroom had mold around the showertray, the TV did not work and the stairs and landing were very grubby. Breakfast was very poor in quality and quantity running out of bread within the first 5 minutes (only two families!). Glasses were dirty too. So, this hotel is listed as a 4* but in reality is an average 3*.

Nice stay, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very very good! Just a little noisy in the morning as there is a business just down the block

La Whymper worked out well for us. We were out most of the day. The room was a little small but fine with a terrace off the room that didn’t have a great view but allowed cool air to circulate in as temps were 90’s!! Living room/ breakfast area was bright and also had balcony / terrace for sitting. Breakfast choice was good. Checkin was easy and staff very friendly & helpful. Overall a chill / low key place to stay!! Also the location is really bang in the middle of happening area.

This is not a 4-Star Hotel! It doesn’t even have a proper Coffee Machine. Rooms are small and the whole house feels cramped. This is an Inn or pension.

Great stay and hospitality.

Staff was lovely and we enjoyed our stay very much. The spa recommendation was awesome.

We enjoyed our stay!! Had a very comfortable sleep, loved the lounge area with kitchen facilities. This is a great little hotel!

Relatively small room, but more than made up for it by a great common room with a Nespresso machine. Great breakfast included.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The location perfect. The room was clean and having a nice robe was a bonus. Breakfast was appetizing and quite good. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that the carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced. It is quite stained.

Quiet, very central, and one of best beds/sleeps in recent memory! Thank you!

Staff was very friendly and helpful, great location in the center of Chamonix.

We stayed at Hotel Whymper twice on either end of our Tour Du Mont Blanc hike. The room was small, but had everything that we needed. We appreciated the amazing breakfast that was available each morning nice and early. While I know this is normal for France, there was no air conditioning and the room was quite warm. No fans were available to cool it down.

Enjoyed everything about the stay except perhaps for its funky location down a tiny street/alleyway near its affiliate, Hotel Faucigny. You check in at Faucigny and are shown to your room in Whymper. The room is a bit weird because you have to lock your door manually when leave the room. And, when you are back inside, you have to lock it from the inside if you want to be sure no one walks in on you! You get used to it, though. Breakfast is at the the Faucigny and is absolutely first class. The staff is great. You can walk to any point in Chamonix within 15 minutes. Multiple restaurants within 5 minutes. Parking is about 20 Euro for 24 hrs at St Michel ...... about 2 minutes away. All told, it's a great place! All told, it's a great place!

Small, interesting rooms. (Skylight opens) Breakfast pricey for the choices.

A sweet stay in Chamonix.

Great location. Staff very helpful.

Great hotel in perfect location (centre of town) with amazing mountain views.from balcony. You also had access to lounge room area with outdoor deck with more amazing views.

The check-in process was slightly different than we are used to, but it worked out just fine. The room was charming and cozy, with a bathtub (a little slim bathtub, but nice regardless!) and a nice balcony. The only issue we had was a spot entering the bathroom that was a bit creaky -- we had to leave by 6:30 am which made even tip-toeing around concerning that our downstairs neighbors may have been awoken by the noise.

Great central location, close to the gondola up to Brevant and to the pedestrian mall yet still quiet. I’ll stay there again.
