The room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious. It was a perfect place to stay on our way to the Alps. It's only about half an hour from Geneva airport, so very easy to get to.

The location was perfect for exploring the Old Town. Very walkable and close to lots of lovely shops and restaurants. Spoiled for choice!
Parking was 50% off at the Hotel de Ville parking garage which was helpful. We paid about €6.
The breakfast room was very nicely appointed, and the breakfast had a good selection. We stayed on a Monday and the bar is closed in a Monday so we didn’t experience that.
The rooms are a little tired and I would say small however they way they are put together, including an interior door and the bathroom backing on to the bed wall, means that you don’t hear other guests coming and going, so that was a real plus.
Annecy is a stunning town. We will be back!

Excellent location, right in front of the lake. The room was very comfortable and the hotel felt well maintained. Overall, we had a great stay.
A couple of small points, however. Considering this is a four-star hotel and that there is a €14 per night fee for dogs, I expected a bit more attention to pets. The only item provided was a simple aluminum water bowl, which we had to request at reception. In other places we have stayed, hotels sometimes offer small extras such as a dog bed or treats, even without charging an additional fee.
The breakfast also did not feel quite worth the €22 per guest.
