Wonderful

Nice hotel and the staff was very helpful. Our room was small but nice and clean. A little noisy due to right on the street level. Right in the middle of town.
We enjoyed our stay at The Whymper. The area was easy to find from the bus station. Reception members were polite and informative. Our room was as described and very clean. Breakfast was adequate and nicely laid out. We would stay again if in the area.
On the upside the Hotel is centrally located and the chap at front of house was exceptional. Room was ok too. On the downside, the bathroom had mold around the showertray, the TV did not work and the stairs and landing were very grubby. Breakfast was very poor in quality and quantity running out of bread within the first 5 minutes (only two families!). Glasses were dirty too. So, this hotel is listed as a 4* but in reality is an average 3*.
Nice stay, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very very good! Just a little noisy in the morning as there is a business just down the block

Low key place :)
La Whymper worked out well for us. We were out most of the day. The room was a little small but fine with a terrace off the room that didn’t have a great view but allowed cool air to circulate in as temps were 90’s!! Living room/ breakfast area was bright and also had balcony / terrace for sitting. Breakfast choice was good. Checkin was easy and staff very friendly & helpful.
Overall a chill / low key place to stay!!
Also the location is really bang in the middle of happening area.
This is not a 4-Star Hotel! It doesn’t even have a proper Coffee Machine. Rooms are small and the whole house feels cramped. This is an Inn or pension.
The room was comfortable and quiet. The location perfect. The room was clean and having a nice robe was a bonus. Breakfast was appetizing and quite good. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that the carpet in the hallway needs to be replaced. It is quite stained.
We stayed at Hotel Whymper twice on either end of our Tour Du Mont Blanc hike. The room was small, but had everything that we needed. We appreciated the amazing breakfast that was available each morning nice and early.
While I know this is normal for France, there was no air conditioning and the room was quite warm. No fans were available to cool it down.
