Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening All,
Looking for any info/reccomendations for b + b or small hotel (reasonable price) for 5/7 days in Megeve for 1 person next winter. I know it's an expensive place but all help greatly appreciated - also is the best transfer from Geneva airport the Borini bus or are there alternatives ?
Thanks,
Briand6868

Megeve hotels cost a packet! Even the bog standard 2 stars are both dodgy and expensive, they are NOT worth their prices. Have a look at Combloux or even Praz sur Arly, better priced accommodation. Combloux is also near the Princesse bubble that gets you into the system.
Other than that, hire a car and stay in Sallanches. (Not recommended!)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There are hotels other than the Ibis, I have stayed here several times.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

briand6868, might St Gervais be a consideration? If so, I can recommend either a very good catered chalet, or apartments right next to the gondola. Drop me a PM if that might work

The Orangerie, good call. Hotel de Paris (years ago) on the way up to Megeve, slightly run down used to have some sharks in large tanks. One of the better gastronomic experiences in my life, not the sharks, but the chef was outstanding (then!!)
I've stayed at a barn conversion just outside Megeve run by an English couple http://www.alpineskiholidays.com/property/skifarm.htm
VERY nice accommodation! Also worth a look at in Megeve..... Coin du Feu, Hotel Arly.

We stayed in a lovely B&B a few years ago. Details here http://www.megeve.li/b_and_b_megeve.html. It was very close to the Le Jaillet sector and walkable to the other areas.
It was 70 euros per night for a double room and breakfast. We were the only people staying in the b&b and so had full use of the lounge and kitchen. The owner lived downstairs and came in in the morning to make breakfast. She was very friendly and helpful, despite my poor French.
We loved Megeve. Far too much for us to cover in the 3 days we had. Would like to return.
