Splendid Hotel Lac d'Annecy - Handwritten Collection

This hotel was in an excellent location, right near the old town, and a stones throw from the beautiful lake. The staff were so helpful and spoke excellent English, which was great as none of us spoke great French. The rooms were really clean, spacious and the pillows were fantastic, would have loved to have brought two and transported them home, if only I had space in my suitcase.

It was great … though we had problem with AC… the balcony also not as expected it was very small

Room was very clean and bed comfortable. Excellent location in Annecy, very walkable and close to the lake.

Absolutely beautiful place & worth a visit

Superb hotel right on the lake and a few minutes from the historic part of Annecy. Very welcoming staff on arrival and lovely room (102) first floor over looking canal/lake at the front and having a balcony over the entrance area (sunny in the morning) Comfortable large bed, small sofa and table with 2 chairs. Soft drinks and snacks included in the mini bar. Very nice bathroom with large shower area with overhead rain shower and separate hand shower as well. We did not eat in the hotel choosing to find an excellent restaurant for the evening and breakfast in the morning, all minutes away. We booked through TA on Booking.com and got an excellent deal probably 30% + from the direct hotel price. We are just outside of the peak though. Parking was in the spiral underground car park only a few minutes walk away. Parking was just over €10 for just under 24 hours which I thought was good value anyway, but the hotel gave a voucher that brought it down to €5! Brilliant value in a secure car park so close. Highly recommended

We had an amaizing experience! We had a room with lake wiew .Staff were very kind!

This was the 2nd time we stayed at hotel splendid and we will be back!!!! Excellence on every level!!! The staff, the room, the location... my husband is very picky and he loves this hotel too!

Perfect location, great stay.

Excellent location, beautiful village and lake.

Great location in the city centre and everything is within walking distance. Easily accessible parking solution in Hotel de Ville parking. Room was in very nice condition. Staff were excellent, very friendly and welcoming.

This is a pleasant hotel that is well located for the Lake the Old Town and transport links. Coffee at breakfast (as in most hotels) is not good. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Due to the vast choice of places to eat locally there is no restaurant in the hotel and it lacks atmosphere.

We stayed here mid-July. The hotel is a short 10 minute walk from the mainline station and the bus station. This makes it great for us as we like to travel by train and use local transport. The Hotel has a view of the Lake and is very close to the old town. The room was good but a little on the dark side. Bed was fine. It was large, had a separate bathroom/toilet. The room was very clean and well kept. The breakfast was buffet and ok but not as good as other hotels. All the staff from the reception staff to the breakfast staff were very friendly and helpful. I would fully recommend this hotel for a holiday in Annecy.

The hotel is very well located, close to everything. We stayed there for 2 nights, the first night was on the first floor and extremely tiny (I believe it was room 109, I attached a couple of pictures). The next day they moved us up to a better room and a wider one, we were pleased!

Property was very close to everything. Wonderful location. Great breakfast every morning. Highly recommend

Great room! FYI we paid for the lake view, but discovered it's pretty much hidden by giant trees in the park between the hotel and lake. It didn't end up being a big issue as the view of the park and mountains was still lovely. Location was perfect. Gym was very, very small.

The sign at the street claims that they are four star. Maybe a decade or two ago but it is not now. Rough around the edges. Slippery bathtub/shower – be careful of trying to take a shower standing up. Toilet seat cover would not stay up. Toilet itself had rings of gray cracks inside. Hot water was iffy. What it did run it took a long time to get to the sink or the tub. No amenities whatsoever – not even face towels. I added a night and they did not give me the advertised rate that I got for the first three nights – they charge me full rack rate! Parking pass did not work and they only give parking credit for Knight which is for euros but it did not do the credit at the parking garage. I would avoid this place because it needs some serious work in order to become more than two star.

Although some reviewers complained because they couldn’t see the lake from their rooms, we didn’t have such an expectation when we booked the hotel. The “lakeside” position of our room looked over the park positioned between the hotel and the lake, and it was only a couple of minutes walk to the banks of the lake! It was also only a 5 minute walk to Annecy’s old town and lots of restaurants. The rooms were large and comfortable. The hotel doesn’t have its own parking. But the underground parking at the old Hotel de Ville is just across the street, and the parking cost is subsidized by the hotel. Our big negative was the breakfast, which we had prepaid. We were at the hotel for 3 nights. On the first morning, we arrived for breakfast 30 minutes before they were supposed to stop serving, only to find no croissants, no baguettes, and very little fruit. We complained to the waitress and she said she had put more croissants in the oven and they would be ready in 20 minutes. The second day we again arrived 30 minutes before end of service and, again, no croissants and no baguettes. I complained to the waitress who just shrugged. This time I complained to the front desk. Five minutes later, we saw that the waitress had been sent out to buy an armful of baguettes from a local bakery. On the third day, there were croissants and baguettes! I think a 4-star hotel should be capable of buying sufficient baguettes each day without complaints from customers.

I find it difficult to share the unqualified enthusiasm of many recent reviewers of Le Splendid. in My view, our supposedly deluxe room only qualified as such because of the outside seating area. Otherwise, there was nothing deluxe about it in terms of either furnishings or space. Positioned on the first floor looking towards the lake, it felt at times like being at Donnington Park, such was the noise of traffic and, in particular, motor bikes. On a more positive note, the room was spotless, the bed comfortable and the location couldn't be better as a starting point for walks round the lake and the town. Staff, both on reception and at breakfast, were pleasant and very helpful.

To start with we were greeted by a cheerful Clara and later Jacques. Two delightfully helpful staff. Our room was very comfortable with a king bed and space to spare in the room. The bathroom was modern and clean. The decor of the room was charming and yes I took a photo. Jacques was very forthcoming in giving pointers on what to see around Annecy and also where to eat.

Lovely hotel, and lovely spacious room which they had decorated with baloons for my husbands birthday.

Hotel was very good. Clean, modern, good location, great breakfast.

Really nice hotel with excellent breakfast and located across from the park and lake. We hope to be back!

Wonderful hotel. Fabulous service, especially by M. Thierry. A beautiful, historic, first rate place to stay!

Location was perfect close to old town and the lake. Beautiful room!

Overall the stay was good but we tried repeatedly to alter the temperature of the room and failed. The wall apparatus didn’t respond. The most beneficial point was the hotels location

We loved staying here! The staff is very kind and helpful, the location is right in the middle of everything but still peaceful, and the rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The breakfast was perfection, and the bar is perfect for a nightcap. Highly recommend!!

Ok

Esta bien situado y aunque es un hotel viejo esta bien mantenido.. la cama no es la mas confortable pero el servicio es bueno y el desayuno maravilloso

We had a great one night stay, and the staff were friendly and helpful!

Well- positioned hotel, opposite the lake and about 10 minutes walk from train and bus stations. Well-maintained, with good and unobtrusive service. We had a room on the 5th floor, with a terrace overlooking the lake. The only observations that should be mentioned, is that there is no air-conditioning, so during the summer, it must be unbearable. It was warm enough in early April and we kept the door open. Limited storage space, we kept belongings on terrace due to this factor. However, great breakfast choices, including hot dishes. Location is everything with this hotel.

We stayed in room 103 which is quite large and comfortable. The location of the hotel near the lake and a few steps from the old town was perfect. The staff is welcoming and helpful- ask and you will receive. Excellent service. Being on the corner there is some traffic noise but it is very manageable. We did not have breakfast or use the work-out facilities but the hotel is so well run I can not imagine there will be a problem. Recommend this hotel and would stay again.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It’s a 5 min walk to the lake, 10 to the old town. From the description we thought it was by the lake but can see it from the balcony. Very clean. Good staff and a fair breakfast. Tad overpriced but guess it was the weekend.

Great location and friendly staff!

Wonderful stay at The Splendid Hotel. Fantastic location next to Lake Annecy. Lovely staff. Fabulous breakfast and decent sauna and gym. Would highly recommend. Super close to the Old Town too.

This was not a 4 star hotel. Indeed the room needed badly new painting and repairs. Not very clean with a lot of dust on fourniture. We had take the lux room yet there was only Space for the bad. Nobody to help being us the bagages. However the front desk people were charm g. The

Amazing service

Beautiful view, nice property, staff OK except for the lady in the breakfast room who was fantastic, friendly, attentive and very efficient

.

overall a very comfortable stay. Helpful staff, close to main points. aRecommended

Un hôtel fort agréable, un accueil comme on peux voir dans les films, avec un petit déjeuner servi en chambre, une vue à couper le souffle, une literie terriblement confortable, bref, un hôtel où nous prendrons grand plaisir à revenir !

This is easily the best hotel in Annecy. The first impression you get is the stunning lake across the street. The second impression was also lovely because when I walked through the door Raé greeted me with a wonderful welcoming smile and was extraordinarily cordial and friendly. Something that means a lot to me. I got a room with a spectacular view of the lake and stunning mountains. The hotel is perfectly located. It’s quiet yet it’s right next to everything you want. The amenities are extraordinary as well. I ended up feeling a bit sick from traveling and stayed an extra day. I was surprised that housekeeping was extra empathetic kind and accommodating. The amenities are great as well, everything you could want, Gym, Sauna on the 1st floor. Kettle and nespresso machine (with extra pods) in the room, even a hidden cooler in the drawer. I will never stay anywhere else and I will never recommend anyone stay anywhere else.

Easy check in, spacious room and bath, great breakfast, easy checkout. Location is in the old town and on the lake - amazing. Would absolutely return

Parking was in adjacent town operated parking lot. Hotel covers overnight parking fee. You are responsible for parking costs during the day if you leave your vehicle in the parking lot during the day say if you spent the day walking in town. Not clear before hand!

The location of the hotel is excellant for the town and the lake. The breakfast was very tasty with plenty of choice and the service was spot on.

Great hotel at a GREAT location. Best location in fact.

Spent 8 days in Annecy which we loved. Hotel is in a fabulous location. We had daily breakfast which was gorgeous. Staff were excellent

We paid extra for a Lake View room and ended up with a tree view room (see photo). I asked the front desk woman and she said the room is a lakeside view. This is very misleading because my hotel confirmation clearly states the room is a lake view room . The room was decent with a patio but housekeeping never changed the sheets and left dirty towels in the bathroom. The best part of the hotel is the location. It’s a short walk to Old Town Annecy and the lake. The 22 euros breakfast was basic with some fruits, bread, and cheeses. However, the server was always friendly and she helped make the breakfast more enjoyable. If you want a hotel with a great location then this hotel will work but your lake view will not be Splendid !

Thierry at the front desk was always there with a smile. Great rooms sheets and big bathroom from European standards.

Expected better… rooms outdated not reflecting description

Excellent staff & service made our visit to Annecy spectacular !

Beautiful hotel! We enjoyed the room, location and friendly staff.

Very good location & very nice facilities.

The hotel is situated in an excellent location. It faces the park with the Jardins de Europe and the lake, which is a short walk away. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained. The facilities appeared to be very clean. The staff was friendly. The only issue is that they do not have enough people working at the front desk during the busy summer season so there is often a wait. Other than that, this hotel is an excellent choice, especially if you wish to be able to walk to most of the sites in Annecy.

Great dtaff, and great location. Very good breakfast!

Short 2 night stay very pretty city with great walks around the lake and the old town area has a fantastic charm.

It was fantastic

We are here on a short city trip with our 14yr old daughter. The hotel is extremely central and opposite the lake which is a bonus, everything from shops, cafes and bars are within reach easily and within minutes. We arrived from Geneva on a blabla bus and the hotel is only a short walk from bus/train station. Upon arrival the staff are smiling and welcoming. The room was nice (sofa bed for 14 yr old was very comfy). Small fridge for items like water and beer we bought from a supermarket across the corner. Bathroom Grohe shower was lovely and clean with plenty of hot water. The rooms have hair dryers, shampoo and body was abs irons on request for those like us who flew with hand luggage only. There is a bar too which is nice for a drink before you head out into the centre! We booked a boat trip on the lake (petrol boat 70 euros for an hour) and it was the highlight of our trip, since the weather was hot we went out at 10am as the lake wasn’t overcrowded and there was a nice cool breeze (they do ask for ID so do take something with ur pic on it eg drivers licence or passport). There are also options of pedal boats etc but we wanted to save our legs and go far out onto the lake for a swim! Annecy if absolutely beautiful and your stay here at the Splendid will only add to that experience it was a lovely hotel.

Very friendly service

Great hotel and a great location

Brilliant location for everything including the lake, old town and shopping. Very polite staff and nicely decorated.

Everything was lovely. We loved our room and all the accessories. The only inconvenience we had was that the ac was not turned on because it wasn’t cool enough outside. However, our window was very sunny and the room warmed up considerably during the day and took quite a while to cool down. We generally leave early and go back to the room for a few hours before having a late dinner. It was uncomfortable.

It was impressive that the staff man was very friendly. The lake was very close, so it was good to jog in the morning. The building is quite old, but it feels luxurious. I recommend it because the price is reasonable.

This is a lovely hotel right across from Lake Annecy. The staff were attentive and friendly. The location is perfect.

Great stay in this clean and perfectly sited hotel with a wonderful lake view.. spacious quiet well double glazed room.. excellent breakfast facilities with a huge choice..really enjoyed our stay..

.

The staff were so lovely and helpful, room was sound proof and curtains black out, had a great sleep and right in the middle of town. Breakfast was fresh and delicious.

Lovely hotel in beautiful Annecy. Fabulous helpful staff. Excellent location. Thanks for a lovely stay.

the location was central and convenient.

Excellent basic hotel. Very helpful staff. Ideally located for exploring to old town. Great facilities for storing bicycles. Excellent municipal parking opposite the hotel. Ideal facility for exploring Annecy and as a base for cycling around the lake

Nice hotel in a convenient location. Plenty of food options. Charlene at front deck was friendly, helpful and efficient. Keep up the great work.

Large rooms, great location and excellent service. Would definitely stay again.

Was a great hotel, location was perfect, staff was so nice, even let you use their paddle board!

Centrally located

Room was spacious, well equipped and really comfortable. Great location to walk to the Lake or into town

Beautiful place in a great location. It’s better in person than online. Staff was exceptional.

Great place to stay. Close to attractions!

The name does this place justice. We had a splendid stay and enjoyed every minute. Comfortable and spacious rooms, very friendly staff and a very convenient location

The front desk staff was so kind and accommodating. The location of the hotel is perfect. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Annecy. When I was there, the lobby was under renovation, and the staff handled it beautifully. My room was very recently renovated. The bed was very comfortable. And the bathroom was a generous size for Europe. My room had everything I could possibly need including a great view. I will definitely be back.

מיקום נוח קרוב למרכז, ארוחת בוקר מושקעת ותמורה טובה לכסף. יש חניה ממול עם הסדר הנחה גדולה למי שמתאכסן במלון

Dommage qu il y ai eu des travaux dans le hall pendant notre sejour d une semaine , sans que nous ayons ete prevenus ,Aucun geste commercial pour s excuser de ce desagrement notable . ( poussiere de platre a la descente de l ascenseur , entree et acceuil impraticable . Salle de fitness fermeé.Le minimum pour un 4 etoiles etait au moins un mot d excuse ds la chambre ,avec un petit cadeau de bienvenue .

Belle chambre confortable bien isolee silencieuse . Regret au petit dej tout était froid(oeufs , crepes, pan cakes) un poil sur le fromage et un cheveux ds un plat. Jus de fruit rallonge a l’eau. Tables non debarassees. Peu de place au buffet. Dommage.

Very nice hotel Great location In the center

Lovely helpful front desk

Hotel parfaitement placé, prix raisonnable

Great location, parking very low cost and discounted for hotel residents. Every team member at the hotel was outstanding. Charming from start to finish. Very clean, stylish and efficient.

A reommended address in Annecy. The Spendid Hotel is well located, the service is excellent, everyone is very helpfull, friendly, very professional. The rooms are comfortable, and clean. The breakfast buffet was very good. The hotel is being renovated, but it is not disruptive. The front could be redone, as well as the elevator! It is a memory of old time ( probably the 70s)

Great Hotel. Friendly staff, great location and super clean. Bed was comfortable and room was decent size.

I loved this hotel! I was upgraded to a room facing the lake. The room was perfect. The hotel is perfectly located.

Great property , great value and in a great location

Beautiful modern hotel in the heart of old town Annecy. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. There’s no on-site parking but the public parking across the street is convenient and relatively inexpensive.

We got stuck in the elevator. It took an hour to get us out. Workers began jackhammering at 8:15. The staff didn’t even give us new paper cups in bathroom or new towels in 3 nights. The heat and air made dripping noises which the staff tried to fix but it didn’t work. Breakfast was great. The front desk staff was wonderful too. When we were stuck in the elevator the man on duty was very reassuring.

A wonderful hotel across from the downtown park and Lac d'Annecy. Conveniently located to the tourist office and excellent restaurants and shops. Our room was clean and specious with a very comfortable bed, and the staff were friendly and most helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend most highly!
