TERRESENS - Les Sources de Canopée

Breakfast was the real highlight at Liberty Mont Blanc, with the mountains around Saint Gervais right there as you ate. There was plenty of cheese, fresh bread and fruit, strong coffee, and an orange juicer that made me question every other OJ. Frederick knows Saint Gervais and the nearby towns inside out, and he’s a straightforward, fantastic host. He let us choose between two rooms, and we picked the one that suited us perfectly. The rooms and facilities are what you’d expect at this level of hotel, but the value is in that breakfast and the host. As an American traveler, I especially appreciated Frederick’s excellent English and how well he understood what visitors from abroad might need. I’d absolutely stay again if I’m back in this small town. Cheers!

The owner’s manner felt a bit odd, and the Wi-Fi system was terrible. The location is excellent, though. It’s a strange old-and-new mix: some bathroom facilities are great, while the lobby, stairs, corridors, and lift feel badly dated and run down. The kitchen smell spreads through much of the entrance.

The restaurant has a lovely view. The rooms are on the small side, but they work fine, and the hotel is close to the lift. It’s about a 10-minute walk into the town centre.

We’ve come back to Hotel Liberty-Mont-Blanc for the fourth year running. The location is just right, and Frederick is a great host.
