Nice stay, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very very good! Just a little noisy in the morning as there is a business just down the block

Great common room!
Relatively small room, but more than made up for it by a great common room with a Nespresso machine. Great breakfast included.

Low key place :)
La Whymper worked out well for us. We were out most of the day. The room was a little small but fine with a terrace off the room that didn’t have a great view but allowed cool air to circulate in as temps were 90’s!! Living room/ breakfast area was bright and also had balcony / terrace for sitting. Breakfast choice was good. Checkin was easy and staff very friendly & helpful. Overall a chill / low key place to stay!! Also the location is really bang in the middle of happening area.

Cozy hotel
Nice and quiet chalet in the center of Chamonix. Comfortable room and bed. Tasty breakfast. Nice sauna. Cozy decorated salong where you can take a coffee or tea with cake any time. Recommended.
Alexandra, 2-night trip

Small, interesting rooms. (Skylight opens) Breakfast pricey for the choices.
Joseph, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was comfortable and quiet. The location perfect. The room was clean and having a nice robe was a bonus. Breakfast was appetizing and quite good. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that the carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced. It is quite stained.
Oscar, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a 4 star hotel
This is not a 4-Star Hotel! It doesn’t even have a proper Coffee Machine. Rooms are small and the whole house feels cramped. This is an Inn or pension.
6-night trip

6/10 Good

We stayed at Hotel Whymper twice on either end of our Tour Du Mont Blanc hike. The room was small, but had everything that we needed. We appreciated the amazing breakfast that was available each morning nice and early. While I know this is normal for France, there was no air conditioning and the room was quite warm. No fans were available to cool it down.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed everything about the stay except perhaps for its funky location down a tiny street/alleyway near its affiliate, Hotel Faucigny. You check in at Faucigny and are shown to your room in Whymper. The room is a bit weird because you have to lock your door manually when leave the room. And, when you are back inside, you have to lock it from the inside if you want to be sure no one walks in on you! You get used to it, though. Breakfast is at the the Faucigny and is absolutely first class. The staff is great. You can walk to any point in Chamonix within 15 minutes. Multiple restaurants within 5 minutes. Parking is about 20 Euro for 24 hrs at St Michel ...... about 2 minutes away. All told, it's a great place! All told, it's a great place!
