IH Hotels Courmayeur Mont Blanc

The hotel is responsible price

My recent family vacation stay at the IH Hotel in Courmayeur was, regrettably, a disappointing experience. Despite its purported four-star rating, the establishment falls significantly short, aligning more closely with a two-star facility in terms of quality and service. Firstly, the hotel's infrastructure appears to be trapped in a bygone era, with no evident modernization since the 1990s. This extends from the rooms to the common areas, all of which lack contemporary comforts and amenities. The rooms, in particular, are in dire need of an update; the bathrooms feel antiquated with doors that won't properly close, the floors are marred by scratches, and the technology is virtually non-existent. The beds and wardrobes are basic and uncomfortable, contributing to an overall lack of hospitality. The staff's demeanor, especially at the reception, was unwelcoming, often bordering on rudeness. A particularly unpleasant encounter involved Giovanni, the shuttle driver, who exhibited unacceptable behavior by shouting in front of children, simply because I chose to open my own door. Such incidents cast a shadow over the entire stay, making it far from the relaxing family retreat we had hoped for. The hotel's location, adjacent to a main road, subjects guests to constant noise, reminiscent of being trackside at a Formula 1 race. This, coupled with a central heating system that is only operational for a few hours each day, made for an uncomfortable and chilly environment. On a slightly more positive note, the restaurant staff were a welcome exception, demonstrating courtesy and professionalism. However, the food served was basic and lacked flavor, failing to meet the expectations set by the hotel's purported star rating. In summary, my experience at the IH Hotel Courmayeur was far from satisfactory. The dated facilities, poor customer service, and lackluster dining options make it a place I cannot recommend. Those seeking a pleasant and comfortable stay in Courmayeur should consider alternative accommodations.

Don't be fooled by the photos of the spa, there is an extra charge of EUR20 per person, you need to make a reservation, and it closes at 8pm. The room had beams in the ceiling, which made the room to be effectively 5.5ft high, my husband (6ft) could not walk around without bending... Breakfast was disappointing with a cheap coffee machine, vending machine juice station and below average pastries. We stay in the town every year and there are plenty of 2-3 star hotels in the town that offer much more comfortable room, better breakfast with waiter/waitress, and a complimentary sauna for half the price. There is also a separate charge to use the parking but you have to take out the car at 11am which is not possible if you are skiing.

Short dads and kids ski trip. Hotel basic but ok although heating a bit sporadic. The main huge issue is the Spa. Two small pools and a steam room and sauna which would be great after a day on the slopes but it was not included …..I have stayed at hundreds of hotels over the years and although I would not expect a spa treatment to be included , I would certainly not expect a €20 charge per person per day (including kids) to use a pretty mediocre pool. Very tacky….

Hotel is a very clean, well kept property. We had a nice triple room with balcony. Restaurant and bar area/common areas are well taken care of and available to all. Walkable area to other restaurants and shops. My only complaint is the road noise as it is on a major street, and our room was facing the street.

The room was comfortable although I’m not sure with not having tissues in the room! Also the window curtain was sheer and on the first floor anyone walking by or at the restaurant next door could see in if the light is in. Restaurant was very good! They had a very large breakfast also. Staff was mostly pleasant but hit and miss.

Staff was great!! Friendly and helpful. Arianna was very kind and willing to assist.. Had a very pleasant stay!

Nice facility, friendly and helpful staff, very close to bus station.
