Guest reviews for 1861 Châtel Hostel
"The price Location Staff Cost of beer and food Meeting new people"
"The noise Ski room Showers (I was in a dorm, you have to be regimented with your kit, have essentials close to hand, what I mean by that is if you are getting up early 06:30 -7 people are still sleeping so you don't want to disturb them) There is a shelf next to the bed more like a catacombs, have a torch too for loo breaks) I had an electric toothbrush nicked from my bed space, there are locker's but it's a first come first served affair. Generally I was lucky but a group of 25-30yr olds came in a didn't give a damn about noise and it was about 02:00 by the time it quietened down, I would stay there again but get a single room.. I was on a course so had to focus and the sleep was important.."
"Nice atmosphere, friendly and clean and decent value. One member of staff helpfully left us a key for a late check in, when we were delayed - I hope we didn't wake the other guests! The breakfast the following morning was reasonable value for a family. A nice setting, worth exploring further."
"Booking.com included this in a search for Morzine, our intended destination, showing it as 11 km away. Well strictly it is - but there is a mountain in the way. An hour further on alpine passes in the dark was not really what we needed at the end of a long day driving. Not the fault of the hostel, but check your searches in this area. If you are not in the correct valley they may be much further away than the straight line distance..."
"Really friendly and helpful staff, very reasonable and with a shuttle stop just outside. Parking and easy to find as in road. Restaurant and bar really nice."
"You have a shower but you have to use communal toilets on the landing which are clean, but you have to be ok with that. There’s a shower and hand basin in room. Also no hairdryer but you can borrow one from reception when you need it."
"Cosy place for a hostel, amazing staff, only wished I had stayed longer."
"Nothing."
"Staff are exceptional! The food is exceptional! The location is ideal and general size of property is nice."
"Showers aren’t the biggest, beds aren’t the most comfy from light gaps to general tough mattress and no option to change bedding if staying more than a few days. General house rules for guests needs improved and enforced loud guests from kids to adults was daily and at all hours."
"Right next to nature, what more could you want. Very close to Châtel bike park, ride up gently slope was worth the effort. Love the burgers 😁 Bike storage was 100 safe Chatel bike park was a surreal experience."
"No croissants but everything else was good. Mattresses wasn’t as comfortable for me. Shower head. Maybe I’m being fussy 😂 Not many shops open, off season."
"The Hostel was well equipped and had a good vibe with plenty of people coming and going. The recreation area was well used and had plenty of games. The restaurant was nice but booking is needed."
"Would prefer toilets in the rooms but the shared facilites were clean and were usually available."
"Comfy and clean- great location for Linga chairlift. Staff were really friendly and helpful and very patient with all our questions!"

Guest reviews
"Very practical apartment. Excellent and quiet location."
Birthe Le Petit Paradis
"Beautiful hotel with a warm and friendly welcome from the owners, exceptionally comfortable bedrooms with excellent heating (we happened to be there during a cold snap) and a magnificent breakfast. We felt completely at home and were very sorry to leave. No need for a car; it is just a few minutes stroll from Beaune station. We will definitely be back!"
Elizabeth Hotel La Villa Fleurie
"Charming chambre d’hôte with its own individual style. Very warm and welcoming host. Good breakfast."
"It is absolutely gorgeous! It is super clean and very elegant. The owners are kind and helpful and the food was amazing. Worth having dinner there"
Richard Château De Blavou Normandie
"Accommodating, hospitable and helpful hosts. We felt at home. The rooms were very spacious - beds were super comfortable - and we are picky! We slept very well - also because it was just so quiet. The breakfast was definitely a hit - agree with other reviews - 5 star. My husband and I stayed in one room and our 3 boys in another room - so well laid out and comfortable. Hosts gave us recommendations for things to see and restaurants. All were hits. This was an ideal base from which to see many things in the area - and the beaches were amazing and not crowded - even in early August! We could have stayed a few more days and will be back."
Ramine La Dolce Vita
"Amazing view from any corner possible. Great hospitality, you feel like home, the host is super friendly. Good breakfast and for me the privacy and the tranquility of the place were just the right thing"
"Easy to find Pretty drive there from Blois ( along the Loire river) Spacious bedroom and bathroom Good breakfast The host is very "french", whether you like it or you don't! ( We didn't mind! We had interesting conversations with him)"
"Great location in Bordeaux. A clean 1st & 2nd flr apartment with an Interesting layout, the kitchen and a small lounge was down stairs and the bedroom & a small bathroom upstairs accessed via a small spiral staircase or via the outdoor staircase."
"Heerlijk appartement, mooi gelegen, prima faciliteiten. Zwembad is mooi gelegen, helaas geen gebruik van kunnen maken. Goed bed, lekker wakker worden met vogels"
