IH Hotels Courmayeur Mont Blanc Resort in Courmayeur

very strict, won't allow changes for booking mistakes

While stylish on the exterior and lobby, that’s where the comfort ends.

The room was full of frustrating design flaws: the toilet was unusually high, the sink oddly low, and placement of the mirror cabinet made it awkward to use the sink at all. The shower leaked water all over the floor and required holding the wand to use it. A blinking ceiling light added to the discomfort, along with a hard bed and flat pillows. The angled walls and concrete pillars meant the nightstands were in strange, impractical positions, and a large gap under the door let in light from the hallway.

The only window opened to a view of a wall—and directly onto a path (used by staff?) that meant smoke, voices, and zero privacy. Since there was no other ventilation, we had to sacrifice security for fresh air.

Noise was constant—from upstairs, the hall, and a strange intermittent grinding or sawing sound from the walls throughout the night. The hallway itself had randomly placed furniture which made it more difficult to navigate with luggage, the floor in the room was cracked, worn, and felt dirty, and overall the space was subpar.

Parking was not convenient, and breakfast was basic: boiled and scrambled eggs, undercooked bacon, yogurt but no muesli, a few breads, and bins of packaged cereal, jams and biscuits. It was slow to get coffee which had to be ordered instead of having a machine like every other hotel we’ve stayed in over the last month of travel through Central Europe!

While there may be nice rooms at this hotel, as evidenced by the clientele, Room 30 is definitely not one of them. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a €50 budget experience—yet we paid €138, plus €10 for the dog.
Unfortunately, whilst we booked an economy double room, this felt more like an afterthought than a comfortable place to stay in a resort town at the base of Mont Blanc.

If searching for a less expensive room in this area, keep looking- don’t book here.
