Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Chalet Hotel Du Bois appears to be a popular choice for exploring Les Houches and starting the TMB, offering a free ski shuttle and proximity to the TMB course. Guests often appreciate the pool and sauna, along with the well-presented, clean hotel featuring a lovely bar area and modern bathrooms. The rooms are often described as spacious and nicely fitted out, with incredible mountain views, though some guests have noted that certain rooms could benefit from updating and lack expected amenities such as a kettle. The Vallot Observatory (Museum) photographs also seem to be a point of interest for some visitors.

limited selection terrible coffee
The room was quite basic. It lacked certain expected amenities. I found no USB ports for charging my devices. This was inconvenient. The breakfast also disappointed. The coffee was terrible, and the selection felt limited. I expected more variety, especially considering the price of the stay!
I found a very clean and spacious room, equipped with essentials. The breakfast was delicious. The bus connection to Chamonix was also very convenient.
