We enjoyed our stay at The Whymper. The area was easy to find from the bus station. Reception members were polite and informative. Our room was as described and very clean. Breakfast was adequate and nicely laid out. We would stay again if in the area.

Great common room!

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

Common/dining area and patio are great. Breakfast was actually really good with some warm foods like eggs and bacon. The spa access listed is just a sauna and if you want to use it you have to get the receptionist who are located in another building. Room is tiny and the washroom had curtains which smelled like a dirty wet rag. We had trouble with the door getting stuck.

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.

Low key place :)

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.

Not a 4 star hotel

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.

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.

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*.

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!
