Hotel Le Bourgogne

This is my second time staying here, and this time it was also ok. The room felt refreshed, and was comfortable, and clean. It suited my needs perfectly.

The receptionist on duty when I arrived was pleasant and gave me an upgrade Room was a good size with balcony and view to the lake. The breakfast was minimal and no one there or on reception, so couldn't ask how the drinks machine worked. Excellent location.Central to main shops and lake.

Great easy walking location to all restaurants, casino and the waterfront. Beds were a bit hard but was only there for 1 night.

Pros:The staff (we met ) were very friendly and did their best to resolve problems. The beds were very comfortable and big for "twin" beds. The hotel is extremely well situated: It is near the lake, near to the town centre, source, funicular, church, tourist information centre, plenty of bars and restaurants etc Cons: Our key didn't work very well and we often had to leave our room open. The hotel seemed to only possess one key! If we did manage to lock it and took it with us, the chambermaid had no way of getting in.So no complementary coffees, milk etc left. All the safes weren't working so we were concerned about leaving passports, cash etc. The room didn't possess a fridge so we couldn't keep drinks cold. There was no Aircon (only an electric fan) so we had to keep a window open which meant we were woken early by the sound of the staff dragging the tables and chairs onto the terrace and people walking past on the pedestrian only street. The towels provided were stiff (not fluffy) and no bath/shower mat provided. There was nowhere to hang swimsuits or towels after a visit to the lido or beach. All the channels tuned in were in French so, although I could understand them as I speak French, my friend couldn't watch the news etc

Very clean and comfortable hotel with a really spacious room (especially for French standards) on the main street of Evian. 5min walk from the lake. Affordable price. Perhaps the best quality/price option in Evian.
