Room 404 is at the top of the hotel, and although fairly spacious, and has several conditions to consider: 1) room access requires going up/down its own flight of stairs, 2) due to sloping roof, it is difficult to stand up in the shower and the head of the bed being under the slope also requires care when getting in or out, 3) the only clothes storage is a cupboard with two shelves – no hanging spaces at all, 4) very dim lighting overall, with the only bathroom light being on one side of the mirror – not conducive to makeup or shaving, 5) space between the end of the bed and the wall is very tight. Breakfast buffet choices were limited, and seating can be an issue at times.
On the plus side, electrical outlets were plentiful and well-located, the air conditioning worked well, there was a great view of the old city rooftops and the Palais de l’Isle on the river. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Annecy. Taxis can come to the hotel only until 11 am. I would stay here again, but in a different room.
