Location is great just a few hundred meters from center. Rooms have decent size, we were traveling with a 4yo and had a separate space for sleeping in a single bed. Bathroom is big an comfortable. Also has a great jacuzzi outside with a great view. Staff is helpful and kind, and also breakfast was good for the price.

If you come by bus at Chamonix Sud Bus station, and with baggage, it's a 20 minutes walk. Hotel could have given instructions how to get to the hotel using the local bus (They didn't know even after we get there how to properly take the bus, timetables, and so on). The city has a strong position on sustainability and don't traveling using your own car. Staff should know inside out every way to get everywhere.

It is a well taken care of hotel, in a beautiful and superb location: walking distance form the pedestrian area of Chamonix, but quiet with a view on the paraglider’s landing area and on the mountains. Parking on the premises. Ski and separate boot room, lovely sunny lounge with nice drinks, i loved the vin chaud. My room was at the top and it was a spacious and cosy room with a beautiful view. Everyone was very helpful and kind and they went out of their way to help me when i hurt my knee and had limited mobility. The hotel has personality: please don’t change it!

The coffee and the absence of a fridge in the room.

The location was ideal and the views were spectacular. The hotel faces a field where there is always a lot of activity from people walking dogs (and even ponies) to frequent landing of paragliders - this is where most of the pilots land. It was an easy walk into the bustling center of Chamonix and to the Avre River and to some hiking trails.

The hot water in the shower took a long time to become warm (like 5 minutes or more) in our room, so it would have been nice to have a warning because the first evening we thought that we had no hot water. After we realized that was the issue, no problem! Other than that the shower was very nice.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm coeliac and they handled my GF needs well (the draught beer happened to be GF naturally we discovered: bonus!). The room worked really well for the three of us and we loved the balcony looking across to Mont Blanc and watch the paragliders land in front of the hotel. One of the few hotels we've stayed in where we chose to spend time in the room rather than elsewhere indoors. A very quiet spot while only a short walk from the town centre. Sad to leave.

I was truly delighted by Chalet Hôtel La Sapinière. I wanted to find a reasonably priced hotel that was close to a lift, close to ski buses, an easy walk to downtown Chamonix, and with an amazing view of the mountains. Chalet Hôtel La Sapinière was absolutely perfect. It has that wonderful casual feeling that you don't find in a corporate hotel (I especially loved the cubby boxes where you drop off your key when you go out for the day). Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful, especially Mandy (sorry if I'm getting the name wrong). She gave me directions and bus schedules, found an extra pair of gloves when ours went temporarily missing, and helped cancel a lunch reservation when our group was having trouble meeting up for lunch. We had a triple room that was small but comfortable. I didn't mind the size because it had floor to ceiling windows with an astonishing view of the mountains. One warm day we had lunch on the balcony. I appreciated the kettle for making tea. The bathroom was newly renovated. The boot warming room and ski storage room were very convenient. We enjoyed reserving the jacuzzi for after dinner. Breakfast was delicious, in a very large, beautiful room. It wasn't a huge selection, but everything was excellent, especially the croissants and bread. There were concerts in the lobby bar two nights we were there -- people seemed to be enjoying themselves. The nursery slope lift wasn't open in late March (no snow!), so my plans of walking to the lift or skiing back were foiled. You could probably walk to the Planpraz gondola, serving Brevent, but the bus stop is literally in front of the hotel, and it seemed to come every five minutes. The bus stop for other ski areas was only a block away. The hotel is just off a main street, with plenty of shops and restaurants within a few blocks. If you don't like a quirky old building, this isn't the place for you. But I hope to be back!

Service was absolutely amazing. Every one who served or helped was very helpful and very friendly. No one made me feel bad about asking too many questions. I was able to get a lot of information about how conditions might be for the next day and where to ski based on the likelihood of lifts being closed. Also, super helpful with getting information on which buses to take to go where. Best part is that right in front of the property is a bus stop that will take you to Brevent. Barely need to walk. Additionally, there is a ski rental shop just down the street.

A little far from the city center if you’re feeling lazy. But if you’re not, it’s a nice walk without being too close too close to the loud apres scene.

The rooms were comfortable and spacious and it’s well located - less than 5 mins walk from the shops, restaurants and amenities of central Chamonix. The staff were excellent - very friendly and helpful. Lovely views.

I found it difficult to achieve a comfortable room temperature for sleeping (I stayed in July). The rooms are (understandably) well insulated so are quite warm. While I could open our balcony door to let in some air, that also let in noise and light.i would have loved a simple ceiling or pedestal fan.

Fabulous hotel. The staff, Mandy, Pascal and Will are absolutely amazing and can not do enough to help you. Nothing was too much for them and they bent over backwards for us. The location is excellent, we were a mixed age group and the location meant that everything was walking distance. From google maps it looked quite far out, but that is definitely not the case. The bus stop is right outside the hotel, and if there is snow in the village you can ski right to the front door. Could not fault this hotel!

We had a peaceful and pleasant stay. Room was very comfortable with beautiful Mountain views. Breakfast was varied and tasty, everything you could want to start your day. The staff were kind, polite and friendly. They made you feel very welcome and service was always with a smile. A very short walk from the centre away from the hustle and bustle of the town. An excellent 3 star hotel 🤩

Nothing. The hotel was brilliant so thank you for a wonderful stay 😀

Hotel Sapiniere was in a convenient location with gorgeous views of the Alps. The inn is located near the landing area for the parasailers and it was wonderful to watch them sail through the air and land right by the hotel. The owner and staff at Hotel Sapiniere were very friendly and helpful. A buffet breakfast is offered for 15 Euro per person.

The rooms do not have mini-fridges. There is no A/C and no screens on the windows. We had breakfast on two out of three mornings of our stay. The first day, the breakfast buffet was fully stocked. The second day it was not.
