Hôtel du Château Annecy in Annecy

I may have been a bit grumpy on arrival as I had taken an overnight bus and only dozed in 24 hours. Neverthe less the staff was not unfriendly but not warm and welcoming either. The door requires a code which I didn’t know so I went to the family door. I was told « there is a button » when I checked in I asked for the WiFi pwd, she pointed to a sign that said it’s on the back of the door. I guess I’m not very observant! The WiFi only works intermittently. I had to turn it off to access the app for my departure details. Good thing I had an e sim.
The location was great with respect to to the old town and the lake but keep in mind it’s up a steep hill. I’m in decent shape but a lot of people were huffing to get up to see the chateau. Rooms are small even by European standards but clean. Breakfast is simple no hot items. I ate there once and out the rest not sure it’s worth the 11E there is a nice terrace to eat at or have a drink. Too bad weather wasn’t conducive, it looked nice! Finally the room key is on a heavy fob assuming so it doesn’t get stolen. You are asked to leave it on a hook in the lobby when you go out but even though the door has a code to get in anyone with access to the lobby can grab any key. On the dense if I’d recommend it. Just know before you go
