lovely proper French food and fantasic value

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Feb 2012
Didn’t stay here, just ate on a Friday night (i think they are closed most other nights), but open for lunch.

The hotel looks very basic from ground floor level.

Good location close to the mostly quiet Perrieres lift (great quiet run down from the top of Les Gets)

the place came very highly recommended , food did not disappoint – lovely proper French food and fantasic value. Would eat here again and would certainly be open to staying here, based on what I have seen.

great place also to have a an après ski drink – very French!

We stayed at the Hotel Chinfrey in Feb 2011 for a weekend's ski break.

The best thing about the hotel was the location. Only 5 minutes walk (probably less if you're not in ski boots!) from the Les Perrieres lift, and close to a ski hire shop. The town centre was about 10 minutes away - slightly uphill so felt quicker on the way back.

The rooms were very small (even by ski hotel standards). It was quite difficult to find anywhere to put our stuff. The bed wasn't that very comfortable. The shower had a curtain which didn't go all the way round, so a lot of water ended up on the floor.

One warning - if you're going out in the evening, make sure you ask for the front door security code. They don't automatically volunteer it, but the hotel closes quite early. We came back at 10.30pm on the first night and it was all locked up! Luckily one of the employees was still outside having a cigarette, so was able to let us in. We asked for the code for the next night.

Overall I'd say this hotel was an okay budget option for a few nights (not many hotels seem to accept short break guests in the peak ski season), but if you wanted to stay for week I think there's lots of better value options available.

Stayed for 3 nights at Le Chinfrey as a group of 9 adults, the hotel was really clean, the staff were extremely friendly and location wise it was excellent for getting up the slopes although a bit of a trek into town. There was a little supermarket round the corner to get breakfast and the ski hire place was excellent as we booked online in advance and everything was ready to collect on arrival.

Myself and three friends shared two rooms at Le Chinfrey and were blown away by how friendly Christiane, Smaranda and Thierry were and how well they looked after us. The rooms were cleaned every day, and for a 2 star hotel it completely exceeded our expectations. This is an absolute gem and perfectly located just across from the Les Perrieres lift. We dined in the restaurant on the last night and wished we had done so before, since the food was fabulous, especially the meat which we cooked ourselves on a hot stone at the table - amazing!!! We felt we had to put up a review on the basis that some of the others left on here are simply so far from our experience that it beggars belief that they stayed in the same place! Thank you Christiane, Smaranda and Thierry for a fantastic four days and for putting up with us returning at all hours of the night usually well inebriated!!!!

I passed a very beautiful weekend with my husband in les Gets, at the Chinfrey. The landscape is wonderfull, the room is quiet and very clean. It reminded me of the rooms in my grandmother's flat. One evening we had a fondue and this was delicious. Than we found out that here is the best fondue in town, the ski monitors use to eat here. The restaurant was great, and the price was very reasonable. I would certainly return at Chinfrey, at least for a "soiree fondue".

I stayed at Hotel Chinfrey with 7 good friends, we were drunk , very loud, and had a really good time. The rooms were comfortable and cosy. The bar area was very friendly with certain happy chatty local ( although our French was Pigeon) every attempt was made by all to help each other understand what was being said. We were ferried into town 10-15 min walk by a couple of the locals in the bar, on more than 1 occasion, and when we did venture into town. The locals in the bar appeared in the bars we were in, in Les Gets and introduced us to almost everyone in sight, many many hand shaking going on, and loads of beers being bought and shoved our way, if you want a friendly atmosphere this is the place to stay Jerry & Susan were ACE in catering for alll our needs (Beer &Wine). When we returned at the end of a hard days Boarding our rooms were spotlessly clean and all our strewn clothes had been picked up and folded neatly on a chair. We did arrive home late on a couple of occasions (Very Drunk) and could not remember the pass code for the door, so we just got the lady up out her bed o let us in, Next Day-- No Problem !! she just had a laugh with us.. All in All a great place to stay and very friendly... I would reccommend to lads looking for a trip away and familys with kids,,, I would not reccomend to snobby stuck up XXXXXXs
