Gîte la Montagne

Bed bugs galore!!!! Pillows & unwashed bedding which gave us bed bug bites - otherwise would be a really good hostel

Covered in bed bug bites after two nights, despite what other reviews say, they continue to be a massive problem in this hostel. Location is pretty out of the way of the city, but considering it's cheaper than other places I didn't mind. There are no places to lock your luggage and no keys for the rooms or the building itself. So you have to trust that your stuff won't get stolen, and if you are not back by 23:00 you get locked out of the hostel for the night. expect no more than a mtn refuge

First of all, approaching this place in the night was lowkey terrifying, but when you wake up its the most beautiful place you've ever seen. The bus will drop you off, and you must hike along a cross-country ski track. The little old lady at the front desk was like a cute fairy, but she spoke no English. She can communicate via Google Translate, and she assured us they treated for bed bugs, which we were a little wary about, but we believed her because she's cute. An experience, but I recommend.

TLDR: Infested with BED BUGS so don't stay here (or at least keep your stuff outside of your room). The hostel is located in the woods which is fine during the day but at night it is not only difficult to get to but also really creepy (when I first arrived I thought it was abandoned). There is hot water and everything seemed clean, but there are no wall plugs so its hard to charge anything. Most importantly, there were also bed bugs. I got bites all over my hand.

Bed bug infested!! Beware if you’re thinking of booking this hostel.

Bed bugs!! Don’t go

Nice spot. 12 bed dorm upstairs, with the floor mattresses, has bedbugs

BEDBUGS!!! Unfortunately we had pre-paid for 5 nights in the hostel so we were kinda stuck with the bedbugs. Hostel is quite far from Chamonix. The hostel has a kitchen where you can cook dinner. The facilities are quite minimal and generally the hostel is not very clean. After a woman in our dorm checked-out, the room was not cleaned, the bins were not taken out, maybe even the bedsheets weren't changed. Not very clean and you risk getting bedbugs. We're camping in Chamonix next time.
