Hôtel Eliova - Le Chaix | Hotel in Cognet, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes

“Very convenient, friendly staff, good value”

“Lovely hotel at the northern end of Alpe d’Huez. Quite basic rooms with no tea/coffee in the room and clearly aimed at the ski season as the bar and restaurant were not open in July when we visited. Staff are very friendly and breakfast was good quality and varied options. There are only a few parking spaces outside the hotel but plenty of free parking on the street and other parts of town. Lovely town with real character and friendly people in shops and restaurants, of which there were plenty to choose from.”

“It is bit expensive, however ski slope is just across the road.”

“Flexible baggage storage great, practically ski in ski out from the Rifnel run.”

“Very nice breakfast and dinner included. Very basic food, but seem very local. An easy "slide" over to the ski lift.”

“ Close to slopes and away from noisy 'young' bars! Welcoming, multi lingual staff. Clean room with plenty of storage space. Good continental self serve breakfast - with options to make your own crepes and boiled eggs. Set 3 course menu for evening meal, with optional additional cheese course . Simple and basic of varying appeal! Small bar area adjacent to restaurant- on 4th floor. ”

“Staff friendly. Food is not great. Has fantastic panoramic view from dining room! Unable to sort tea and coffee out, except at breakfast.”

“I stayed one night in chaix .On arrival,I had difficulty in finding the hotel because I was asking for the name Eliova. I 've found the hotel's personel friendly and the hotel is overall comfortable , close to skiing area especially when you turn back .Much better than a 2 star hotel . I will return there for my next visit.”

“Good basic hotel. Clean and comfortable. There is free wifi but it is very patchy.”

“Stayed over new year. Compared to other accommodations, it was reasonably priced. It was well located, with the nearest slope across the road. We had designated lockers in the basement for our gear. The rooms were cleaned daily. The hotel was warm and the rooms were spacious. The bathrooms were modern and showers excellent. Service was very good, the waiter and bar manager Axel was very friendly and made our stay a delight. We decided to go for the half board option. Breakfast at the hotel was great, however the dinners were not to our liking. We found the food (such as fish and duck) to be overcooked. Some of the dishes were also not to our taste (such as a cheese fondu with only bread for dipping and a savoury cheese based dessert). This may have just been a British thing, as french guests nearby seemed to devour the cheese desserts! This disappointment was partially offset by the free wine with each three course dinner (250 ml each). The hotel also made an extra effort on our first night with mulled wine and on new years eve with a five course dinner and multiple wine bottles and champagne. We'd certainly recommend the hotel to others, though if we return we would stay away from the half board and go to the town for dinners. Many restaurants in town offered good meals for €15-€20 euro and overall the food was of a better standard (we chose not to eat at the restaurant for one night). The only other drawback was the wifi which was intermittent away from the reception area.”
