Summary of Google reviews. Reviews are not verified. 4.3 stars, 371 reviews. 5 stars, 4 stars, 3 stars, 2 stars, 1 star. Reviews on other travel sites: TripAdvisor 4/5 · 38 reviews. Google does not verify reviews on other travel sites. To view review policies, visit the relevant site. Reviews. Search reviews. Polychrome 4/5, one week ago on Google. 3-day, 3-night stay to discover the mountains. After a long drive, the reception needs improvement as we were verbally attacked by the young woman at reception because we arrived very early. Perhaps Decathlon Travel should review the matter and include the arrival time on the PDF. Furthermore, working in close contact with others, I can only say that you have to love this job to do it. The hostel is very well located, with a mountain view. The 2-day ski pass, which is also valid on buses, is fantastic. The service and kitchen staff are lovely, and the dinners and breakfasts are delicious – thank you to them! The rooms are adequate, basic but perfectly fine. Downstairs, there's a bar and games area that's very popular. I would still recommend this hostel to friends and family planning a trip to Chamonix.
