Best Western Alexander Park Chambéry

We have been staying in this hotel en route to the Alps for more than 25 years, back from when it was a Novotel. The rooms are well set out and the beds very very comfortable. As ever Friday night 8th March in the restaurant is hugely busy with loads of travellers like us. Whilst there were only three staff on duty they worked like dynamite to cover the busy restaurant and bar, always with a smile and friendly Word. They are a credit to the hotel . The menu is short but the food very good particularly if you opt for the French choices, salade Nordique exceptional, tartiflette excellent and mouseax ar Chocolat also very good. Personally I wouldn’t have gone for a burger although I am sure it was very good, just want to eat French food first night of the holiday. Thank you again and well done. We will be back.

The hotel really lies next to the highway so it's absolutely perfect for a stay when you're traveling to Italy (for example). The room was nice and cool, the receptionist was friendly and spoke English very well. To get WiFi, you need a code that can only be used at one advice. It was no problem at all to get 3 codes for both of our phones and our laptop. The swimmingpool isn't big, but it's lovely to cool down and float around for a while. The playground for the kids was also really nice. There were swings, a slide, a zipline and a ping pong table, next to a field of grass were kids could run around or play soccer or so. You can find a McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, big supermarket (Carrefour) and some other shops and restaurants right next to the hotel.

Many French hotels targetting mainly transit passengers moving by car are often a bit run down, and looking at the booking.com rating, we did not have great expectations. Nonetheless, and while the outdoor areas were a bit "dusty", the overall facilities were quite OK, and the room was comfortable and quiet, with comfortable beds. The free parking is a bonus. The hotel has a relatively well equipped outdoor area for children, including a small zip-line for children. The man in the breakfast area was hard-working, friendly and helpful.

great location. small rooms but comfortable and nicely decorated. in fact the whole hotel is very classy for a Best Western and had the right French Riviera feel without being either too expensive or too overdone. A place where we could have easily stayed longer. Rooms with sea view worth it. it was too cold to use the pool but it looked great. special compliments for the use of green and the gardening. breakfast very good to excellent although even a hotel like this seems to not be able to escape some industrial bake off nor the standard coffee machines. very secure private parking with large spaces (paying of course).

Excelent for one night stay. The beds were fine, the breakfast was good (I always eat french if possible), it's very close to the motorway, very close to a shopping mall with restaurants and a supermarket, has a chidren's playground, a simple but well kept garden, a swimming pool (that we did't try).
