Évian-les-Bains hotels

Pros: Beautiful Belle Époque property and grounds. Great spa and treatments with nice scenery

Cons: Unfortunately they didn’t tell us we needed to check our 12 y old boys into kids club so we sent them there when we went to the spa and they were turned away - the club didn’t tell them they could go to the hotel area w a game arcade - and then they had to pay extra for that! Also the tapenade and salmon starter in bar was not good nor worth the money. Otherwise it is a beautiful place and wonderful escape.

Cons: The hotel was empty, nevertheless they assigned us to a handicap room where the shower enclosure does not work and the bathroom is filled with water each time you take a shower! Upon complaint they tried to get us to pay to upgrade to a more expensive room instead of solving our problem. When we refused they finally gave us a normal room in the category we had booked.

Pros: too expensive, did not take

Cons: the pillows, had to ask to change into orthopedic

Pros: Magic moment for the new year eve. Special end of the year deco, vip gifts in the room, private fireworks at midnight.I knew the place from before. A palace within a huge park overlooking the Lac Leman Amazing place, amazing atmosphere making you feeling very relax and comfortable to a really highly qualified staff.

Cons: Small improvements in terms of inventory management réf the kitchen and timing réf the room service Otherwise... perfect

Pros: The cleanness of the room. The quite atmosphere. Even thought it was short stay but it was worth to stay. Wish to be back soon

Cons: Nothing to mention

Pros: Every thing is available you don’t need to go out

Pros: Great continental breakfast

Pros: Just cross the road for the lake. There is an underground parking with a good pice (15 Euro a day)

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: it was out of my expectation .. its really a family hotel .. everything was excellent .. the staff are so helpful .. definitely I will come again .. the hotel is walking distance to the lake and downtown .. I loved the balcony in the room .. the hotel is so clean .. thanks to all staff there ..

Cons: I hope that they can serve room dining .. since they only serve a lovely breakfast ..

Pros: Stellar location right on Lake Geneva. Our room had a balcony with a lake view. Short stroll to lake ferries, casino, restaurants.

Cons: My wife is sensitive to strong perfumes and the cleaning products used leave lasting odors in the room.

Pros: The place is modest and simple and very comfortable. The staff were outstanding and so, so friendly and charming! Loved it and would definitely come back!

Pros: Location, design, rooms, breakfast , food

Cons: Common places are a little too small. Lack space Pool a bit too small as well

Pros: It’s hard to beat the view from the terrace at breakfast and the staff are absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. Finds a great balance between being fairly refined without tipping over into stuffy. Lovely bar with great bar staff mixing super cocktails. Rooms are well laid out and our kids loved the sliding door between them and us. Easy to pop down into Evian on the funicular. We didn’t use the spa but it looks great.

Cons: If I was really being picky I would say the pool is on the small side for the number of guests. Kids club could also be a bit sportier - we have two boys who just aren’t going to do craft type things) - but i’m being super fussy.

Pros: Location and gardens around the property

Cons: The breakfast was a litlle bit a disappointment..... i was expecting a bigger variety of fruit of cheeses (only 3 options...)

Pros: The spa facilities are superb, nice indoor pool long enough to do a few laps, so clean and overall very comfortable for a day at the spa The room was double aspect with a long balcony, big bed, nice deep bath and a separate shower and separate toilet The gardens are beautiful to walk through with access to the Royal Hotel grounds too with, a rose garden, some amazing trees, tennis courts, pétanque. Didn’t manage to get a chance to use the outdoor pool with looked fab

Cons: It was pricey, the service at evening meal was irritating - fine French cuisine but too much presentation from staff

Pros: High quality hotel. Beautifully decorated and designed to the last detail. Very enjoyable spa with direct lift. Beautiful gardens. We stayed at the low priced room but it was still great. Friendly staff. We went off season. Can't ask for much more.

Cons: Breakfast was somewhat expensive. Gym somewhat small.

Pros: Great staff and great customer service! The entire staff make sure you are happy at all time. We stayed there during the Christmas period and they gave us treats, written notes to make sure we feel at home and we did feel at home! They also have good facilities (Jacuzzi, sauna, spa), the view on the lake is amazing. I really recommend this hotel!

Pros: The room

Cons: No tea or coffee, only with money, steps to first floor

Pros: Breakfast outside looking over the lake

Pros: The view

Cons: No toiletries, no A/C, poor pillows, no room service, reception closes at 9:30 so must enter from parking after that. Not allowed to bring outdoor foo me and beverages, no kettle, bad location, checkout 11am and the there was worms in the bed

Pros: Great little family run hotel with a great location and view. Loved the pool and our hostess was so nice to us as my French is to say the least "wanting" She made us feel welcome the moment we entered to the point we left and seemed to have all the time in the world to make sure we enjoyed our stay with them. Although they don’t serve evening meals there the breakfast was ample and she pointed us to some nice places to eat in the evening marking places on a map so we could find them. Would I stay again and recommend this place ? YES

Cons: I didn’t like the fact that they had to put up signs to tell people not to bring their own food in and eat it on the premises. Why should they have to? Common decency tells you it is wrong to do that in the first place. Also there are countless places to eat at a stone’s throw away from it. The fact that all signs are in English may tell us something about our own culture. Eat out and don’t be so tight and enjoy the local cuisine.

Pros: Perfect location, very friendly and helpful managers, newly refurbished room and bathroom, spotlessly clean, breakfast of sufficient variety and good quality, clean and pleasant swimming pool

Pros: Very nice place, quiet and nice pool, staf and breakfast!!

Cons: With the heat last days no airco. But there was a fan.

Pros: Very peaceful and relaxing stay at L'Oasis at the height of summer. Our room had it's own entrance just a few steps from the pool and a lovely view looking down onto the lake from the small balcony at the back. The room was very big and alot of thought had gone into the accessories. It was very quiet and peaceful. Although no air conditioning you just had to open the French windows of the balcony to get a lovely breeze. Fabulous for a relaxing break with the town just a short walk away.

Cons: This is not a negative, just be aware that the walk to the hotel is up a hill. You wouldn't get those wonderful views without it! I felt a little uncomfortable if I had to ask for a drink or ice cream - almost as if you would be disturbing the owners

Pros: A beautiful hotel in a stunning mountain location. Lovely room and exquisite restaurant. The outside pool was perfect and the food was superb.

Pros: The location of the hotel is very nice and the view from it is wonderful. The area is gorgeous and excellent for walking. Landscaping around the hotel and pool is very nice.

Cons: The room was old, tired, and in desperate need of upgrade, including bathroom. Checking on the website, apparently we paid the same price for this room as for other much nicer double rooms. We were there during a heat wave and the hotel with no air conditioning did not even provide a fan. One single opening for air. It was stifling. The Wifi does not work. The dinner menu consisted of one choice only.

Pros: Excellent location with lovely views, very friendly staff, great breakfast.

Pros: Thee location was stunning with a gorgeous view from our room (no 11) The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of there way to make our stay enjoyable. A lovely tittle pool outside, the gamesroom and jacuzzi were added bonus.

Cons: We felt the breakfast had a very limited sullection for the price and the coffee tasted horrible. Also there is no coffee/tea making facilities in the rooms.

Pros: Breakfast was top Dinner was great Size of the room

Cons: One of our room need a bit more rénovation

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has lovely views and also the benefit of an outdoor swimming pool. Breakfast was also nice and evening meals were of a high standard.

Pros: The food was nice in the evening. The decor was lovely. And the staff were great.

Cons: The room was a little bit small. The toilet should have a sink inside. The breakfast was disappointing.

Pros: Very friendly and lovely breakfast - massive open fire and everyone had a big smile of their face - warm welcome

Pros: Staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons: Far walk from boat station to hotel, no busses. Far from the action. No working wifi. Breakfast was just bread and jam.

Pros: Breakfast was typically French and good value. Location very quiet and only about 5-10 mins walk to town centre. Took a lake view room which was wonderful.

Cons: Room was a little dated but didn't affect our stay

Pros: The scenery the location and the homey breakfast prepared by the hotel owners.

Cons: No coffee tea tray or fridge in the room

Pros: Balcony and view

Cons: Wi-Fi is not strong

Pros: Close to station, parking, city centre

Pros: Every time we come to Evian, we stay at this lovely hotel, in a room with a lake view. Its like a time travel to belle époque , but with modern facilities.

Pros: Very accomodating staff. I got free room upgrade with terrace. Some remaining flair of the 1900-1930's. Quiet and calm place. Available parkings at the Station (ask reception for free parking).

Pros: Excellent location for walking in to Evian Wonderful view of the lake Very warm and welcoming

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Pros: Location superb. Had one evening meal which was excellent. Didn't have breakfast

Cons: Not keen on the several "trinkets" eg the toggles on the drawers

Pros: Great location with direct lake access. Very good food and breakfast buffet. Very colorful interior with charming details.

Pros: Good location,top food.rom ok.

Cons: Breakfast was very good but it was almost impossible to get any service..we had to negotiate around tables to get anything from the buffet.no cooked food..all cold.

Pros: Quirky, very clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities and staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We will definitely return! :)

Pros: Lovely area. Room small but nice

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Wonderfully quirky hotel in an excellent location directly on the lake. The food is amazingly good. Just lovely.

Pros: They have complimentary push bikes you can use, which was great for cycling in and out of town. Loved that you could get into the lake directly from the hotel for swimming. Clean swimming pool. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Cons: Food and drinks a bit pricey, but we went out for dinner and breakfast so that wasnt an issue for us.

Pros: Lovely old fashioned french ostentatious hotel

Cons: Rooms very small, wi fi not at all good.

Pros: Evertyhing was awesome: location, rooms, restaurant, personal! It was great to take the hotel's bikes and to ride along Evian's promenade

Pros: Lovely room

Cons: No tea/coffee facilities in room

Pros: This is a great hotel and one wonders why it is ranked as 2 star. It is full of well polished antique furniture, the room was large, the bed was comfortable, and we had a nice view of the church, town, and lake from our window. The dining area had comfortable 'retro' chairs, and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Framed posters on the walls reflect a past time when Evian-les-Bain was a tourist center (it still is). The room was clean and the staff was pleasant. The hotel is central, right on the main pedestrian street full of shops and restaurants.

Pros: Location. Very convenient to get Geneva, Lozanna, to see Swiss Lake and other attractions. Good price, parking nearby. We've got everything we needed.

Cons: Problem with internet, One chair in room for two people.

Pros: Clean and loaction is good.

Cons: Breakfast might be better.

Pros: Excellent location...next to community swimming beach , and delightful walkway round the lake

Pros: The location and access to the Lac Leman for views, walking along its banks or for taking a swim were incredible.

Cons: My room was quite dated and cramped with no facilities such as a kettle or mini bar and unfortunately there was an issue with smelly drains in my bathroom which made the room smell. The view from the bedroom was also of the back of other buildings.

Pros: Check in/out staff were very helpful and lovely (thankfully speak English, as our french is minimal-sorry!) We had a room that was on the top floor and looked right onto the lake. It seemed to be newly renovated and was very nice. Super comfortable bed and nice bathroom. The location is beautiful, and the onsite restaurant food is wonderful. Pool area is shabby chic, but charming. The lake side location is what really makes this hotel wow and the reception staff are great.

Cons: Machine coffee at breakfast has so much sugar in it. Restaurant staff are brusque.

Pros: Being next to the Lake.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The picture not same the reality and spiders every where I cannot stay I changed the hotel and I loose my money

Pros: Location, swimming pool, restaurant!

Pros: Quiet location

Cons: The staff were rude and intimidating at times. An example - I would say bonjour to the staff in the morning. They would just look at me, not smile and then turn their back. I am a woman travelling with my sons. I found this rather intimidating. When we dined in the restaurant we were completely ignored. It would take an age to be served. The other restaurants in the town had all gone out of business. So we had no choice but to dine in the hotel. We also arranged for a parcel to be delivered to the hotel the day after we arrived. The reception staff denied that it had been delivered. When we checked on amazon we had conformation that it had been delivered. They finally gave it to us when we checked out. They had it the whole time. And it had been opened. They offered no explanation or apology. The hotel staff made it very clear to us that our presence in the hotel was unwelcome. I suppose you can get angry at other people’s attitudes towards people from different cultures. I prefer to laugh it off. And not let small minded people hurt me. Its a story over the diner table for years to come! Lis

Pros: The personnel very helpful! The location and the huge garden are impressive!

Cons: Overall not very heated and there was a problem with the heating in the end of the night. Internet was very slow ... the sheets had some black points and the room of the breakfast had some spider nets ...

Pros: Old-world style & ambiance, top-class cheerful service, funicular!!

Cons: No cheaper alternative to pricey restaurant, loved the funicular but access to Evian a problem when funicular not running out of season

Pros: Reception staff

Cons: there is no room service and if you want something to eat you must book at there restaurant and if you want to order the cook will never do it for you even if you will tack it from the kitchen to your room personally.

Pros: Ambience and location superb. Restaurant food top class (but only when open ! ) Likewise really classy whiskey bar (unbelievable hardly open in the festive period) Staff really try hard but not enough of them .... see below

Cons: Fantastic property but not living up to its true potential . Clearly a huge shortage of staff (who do their best God bless them) which means bars , restaurant that deservedly aspires to greatness and other facilities have restricted opening times . At times even the reception was abandoned and one had to call from a phone on the counter.

Pros: Location , clean, and very friendly staffs

Cons: None

Pros: It's still retains its old classic furniture and smell. Some renovation is done to it. The staff are super super friendly, always smiling, willing to help, prices are also great. Going to it is also a scenic drive. It is built on its original natural way. The land has not been flattened out. Their breakfast is homemade and yummy.

Cons: The lift is small. If you have a couple of bags or large bags you will need a couple of trips to get to your room.

Pros: Very clean, warmly, and amazing view near to the lake with tube you can go for free in city and come back every 20 minutes which i like, also they know english which is very important for us also the room was amazing furnished and big enough to put our luggage.

Pros: Centrally located, close to the city centre. Quite stylish room at least most of it.

Cons: The view was on a wall, not a courtyard. AC a little bit noisy.

Pros: Location is good. You can see the lake directly from the window. Breakfast is not luxurious but good enough (if you want cooked eggs, you need to specially ask for it).

Cons: It is a little noisy at the rush hours because it is next to the main road. Hard to find a free parking place. You can pay 13 Euro for a parking-lot in the hotel or parking at the public garages (closest one is Parking Charles-de-Gaulle)

Pros: Great, central location Small, family run hotel On a very busy avenue but completely soundproof

Cons: Couldn’t open windows for fresh air because of location and outdoor restaurant

Pros: Perfect location location of ferry dock

Cons: Need to book restaurant in advance otherwise you ll get turn down until 915 pm

Pros: Everything was fine.

Cons: It is a bit pricy.

Pros: Modern bathroom

Cons: Very poor outlook from window

Pros: Good location, clean, friendly staff

Pros: The location and the staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was good and bathroom, bed.

Cons: Aircondition was so old and noisy. See from picture.

Pros: Very good value for money, great views and comfortable room and facilities

Pros: Liked all aspects of Savoy.

Cons: All was good.

Pros: The location is excellent and there are lots of restaurants and cafes close by. The ferry across the lake is also close.

Cons: There was no AC and the carpets were dirty. Obviously we knew there was no AC fitted just a free standing one which allows traffic noise in, but it was extremely hot in July. The bathroom too was fine but seems quite worn in places.

Pros: The staff, the view, the location

Cons: The bath-cum-shower was not very convenient. We would prefer them separate or just a shower.

Pros: Location is very nice. Calm hotel. Nice view

Cons: We would like to come again. But it is not possible to book less than 3 days in the Summer time.

Pros: Nice location. Room okay clean

Cons: The fact that nothing was open. We paid quite a bit to stay. Despite advertising hotel and bar open 7.30 am to 10.30 pm, our first visit all Closed at 7pm. In our return visit yesterday all closed 10 mins after we arrived at 7.45pm. We could not get a meal as restaurant shut both visits. Breakfast first visit was €14 not €13 as confirmed in booking. Didn’t bother with breakfast 2nd visit wasn’t worth the money Very disappointing stays. Would have cancelled 2nd visit but couldn’t as paid in advance

Pros: Lakeside room overlooking the lake parking food and staff was good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We loved everything about this hotel. It was beautiful and clean. Dinner was fabulous! I wish had booked it for a few more days.

Pros: The location is good right on the border between Evian-Les-Bains and Amphion-Les-Bains. Evian is a little over a mile on a busy roadway. The properties to the left (if you are looking at the Lake) appear to be abandoned hotels that are boarded up, so Des Prince Hotel is a little oasis in itself. You are in a good spot for day trips to Montreux, Geneve, Nyon, Yvoire etc. The restaurant on sight is fantastically situated literally right on the lake. You can dip your toes in the water from your dinner table and feed the two swans and ducks that prop their heads up on the pavement looking for scraps. The lake access and grounds around the hotel are really nice. The lake was warm enough to swim in and that was delightful! We had a twin double room w/ a balcony that had a fantastic view of the lake---but not the mountain range. If you want to see the mountains and the lake you likely need a room on the Swiss side --Geneve, Lausanne or Montreux. This was my misunderstanding and NOT misleading advertising or photos etc. by Des Prince. The room was a good size, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom looked renovated, but retrofitted as the building is quite old. You could hear the lake lapping against the shore at night. Parking was available and free.

Cons: If you are tall, you have to sit sideways on the toilet. Poor or cheap retrofit bathroom renovation. BUSY single lane roadway in front. We had a corner room with a side balcony & lake view, but even with the balcony doors closed you could hear the road. If you request a direct lake view it might offer more sound protection. If they offered a fan that would provide background noise so you could sleep with the door open. Because the rooms are right on the lake and likely the season we were there, there were a lot of BIG spiders that came through the windows and crawled across the ceiling at night. You had two choices: 1) sleep with windows closed, have no spiders, but get hot (no AC) 2) open the windows and sleep with spiders. The ceilings were high so we chose to open windows and survived :)-- I'm not a fan of spiders. They offer in-room instant coffee/tea, but forgot to give us cups after we used our plastic cups once. The lighting in the bathroom could be better. Again because you are on a lake and it is a bit damp, you can smell the paint that was used possibly on a recent renovation. Just an observation, it didn't detract from my stay. You can hear plumbing (toilet flush/shower) from adjacent room. The room gets perfectly dark, except for a piercing blue light on the TV. Unplugging didn't shut it off. I had to find creative ways to block it. Breakfast is only until 9:45 a.m. The staff are very nice and do not rush you out, but it would be nice to just extend the service to 10 a.m. Breakfast is 14 euro per person extra and given the general cost to visit the area it's good value, but they don't actively track, so my final bill showed we took breakfast all four days and we did not. That's 56 Euro charge. They corrected it immediately with no issues once I pointed it out. Staff is nice but exhibit the typical work ethic of Europeans --- work/service is secondary to their lives.

Pros: Quiet hotel directly on the lake - what else you could dream? Friendly staff, great breakfast.

Cons: The floor is made of wood due the building is from 1806, so if someone going up or down the stairs in the night - you‘ll hear it, unless you‘ve been trying the excellent local wines all day long.
