LA GRANGE D’ARLY ^{* * *}

Je tiens à partager mon Expérience mon mari ayant réservé via une agence. Il a réservé pour un séjour de trois nuits dans cet établissement que nous connaissons car nous sommes clients depuis Longue, date Nous avons eu un empêchement de santé. Avec l’impossibilité de nous rendre à notre week-end. Nous avons demandé une modification des dates car nous nous connaissons très bien les propriétaires qu’ils ont modifié pour la semaine. Et la semaine suivante, l’état de santé Aller en se dégradant Car mon mari a eu la grippe. J’ai appelé la responsable pour lui dire que nous ne pourrons pas venir deux jours avant. L’hôtel n’était même pas complet. Je lui ai demandé un avoir pour les prochaines fois Même en payant un supplément si les chambres étaient à un tarif supérieur, la responsable m’a répondu que non, il était impossible de faire un avoir donc j’ai perdu 700 €, je ne trouve pas ça très gentil de leur part, et ce n’est pas commerçant. C’est dommage car nous ne retournerons plus dans cet établissement.

I am honestly super bummed to write this review because I wanted to support one of the very few(? or maybe last) family-run hotels when most lodging options in Megève are owned and managed by large corporations nowadays. I figured for a one night stay during a solo trip, it’s not a big deal, and oh boy was I wrong. I really should’ve splurged for a much nicer hotel, because I’m really not sure how this place even got three stars. ||First of all, I am going to list pros and cons that didn’t bother me, but could potentially be big dealbreakers for others: |- The room is quite dated, but clean and decently sized. I slept well and the bed is comfortable |- The bathroom amenities were quite bare-bone. Just a shower cap, and a three-in-one hand wash, body wash and shampoo. There isn’t a separate shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. No lotion, no vanity kits, no slippers, nothing, etc. |- Not really a full service hotel. There’s a breakfast room and bar in the lobby, but no food services at other times which could be rather inconvenient. |- Obviously no spa/pool/hot tub or any of those facilities|- There isn't any shuttle to the nearest gondolas, and the closest chair lift is a 7 min walk away. It's honestly easier if you just drive ~5 min to Princess and park there instead. ||Here’s the things that bothered me: |- Didn’t really feel the warmth or well welcome that others have noted in their reviews when I checked in. A lot of times, these boutique hotels pride in their properties and often offer a tour or intro of their hotel, recommendations of the town, helpful info such as ways of getting to the gondola, etc. I got shown the breakfast room and lobby bar and that’s it. However, the lady who checked me out was incredibly sweet and kind. |- When I checked in, no one was there to help me with luggage. When I called the front desk to check out, unfortunately the lady at the desk was too busy between the front desk and the breakfast room, and no one could help either. I mean, I might as well have stayed at an airbnb?! |- There was limited parking along side the small road by the hotel entrance. They do have a parking lot in the back, but that lot was filled with ICE (not snow) and no one ever cleared it. Luckily I found a spot on the side road. |- I think the main issue that set me off was the really sad looking and uninspiring breakfast buffet. Look I’m not asking for caviar or lobster eggs Benedict, but cold breakfast only for a hotel that’s charging 300 euros a night for their base room? C’mon, at least serve some warm scrambled eggs?!

Great service, great location and Cousy vibe

Vous avez conscience que le petit déjeuner est un enfer ? Entre nous on l’appelle le « petit défoncé » tellement il n’y a rien. La nonchalance d’un personnel aussi bruyant que peu efficace n’y est peu être pas pour rien. Changez d’équipe prenez des gens plus investis et proposez quelquechose de plus qualitatif svp ????????

Thank you to the entire warm and welcoming Team of Hotel Grange D'Arly!! You made our first time stay in Megeve a wonderful experience! Filled with the heartfelt warmth great care and recommendations!! Thank you! We look forward to our next visit!
