“From what I explored, this residence stands out for its prime location, a stone's throw from both the bus station and the heart of Chamonix. The views of Mont Blanc from many rooms are undeniably a highlight, and the inclusion of a dedicated playroom makes it a solid choice for families. While self-catering adds flexibility, the requirement to clean before departure is worth noting.”

Guest Reviews and Ratings

What guests said after staying at Residence Pierre & Vacances La Riviere
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Residence Pierre & Vacances La Riviere enjoys an excellent location, often described as central and convenient, especially for those arriving via bus, as it's close to the bus station. Guests appreciate the spacious units that include well-equipped kitchens with dishwashers, kettles and proper tea pots. Many also enjoyed fantastic views, sometimes including the Mont Blanc glacier, from their balconies, though some have noted that the electric stoves in the kitchenettes can be slow to heat up. Skiers will find the ski lockers handy, and the hotel's proximity to skiing and other activities make it a great base.

c l o s e b u s s t o p parking nightmare slow electric stove
The bus stop was very close.
The parking situation was a nightmare. The hotel parking was basically non-existent. I had to hunt for a spot. The electric stove was slow. It took forever to heat up, so preparing meals took much longer than expected

c l o s e b u s s t a t i o n thin towels toilet paper
the location was acceptable.. it was close enough to the bus station.
The toilet paper situation was a joke. They only gave one roll. i was told it was 'in the contract', which it wasn't! towels were thin, annoying.

Really good Value and Convenient Location

well-equipped kitchen mountain views enjoyable stay
I was very pleased with the studio's well-equipped kitchen. It included a stove and refrigerator. The balcony offered views of the surrounding mountains. This added to the enjoyment of my stay.
The entrance is accessible only by steps. This may pose a problem for those with mobility issues. Reception hours are limited.
