더 낭트(Nant Morzine)

PLUS · We found this place on *********** for a 4-day cycling trip. Pictures looked great, their website too. Prices were a bit cheaper than other places so we went for it. Downstairs area was nicely refurbished. Pool table with a small bar where you can take your drinks yourself. MINUS· This is more of a hostel / student dorm place, not a hotel. You get your room number & entry door codes by text, keys are on the door. Nobody at the reception. One bedsheet and one towel per person for multiple days. NO CLEANING, NO REFRESHING OF TOWELS. Some rooms sizes are oke, other are way too tiny. Bathrooms and toilets the same. Leaking shower heads & loose cranes everywhere. I guess they have one room refurbished well which you see on the pictures, the others are just cheaply repaired not even refurbished! Breakfast is oke, nothing special, if everything would arrive on time. Some days the owner still had to bake his oven baguettes when breakfast was already open.

This reviews is a bit mixed tbf! The hotel is more like a hostel which isn’t an issue as it’s cheap! The downstairs area is nice and welcoming. Rooms are ok! Beds fine, bathrooms ok (water temp needs improving) the biggest issue was my key could unlock other doors. Which isn’t a safe thing at all. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast is a bit minimal but ok! Bus stop outside that takes you to le Pleney. 15 min walk to the lifts. Overall not the best but the locks really ruined it and put me off. Hence low review.

I’ve stayed at the Nant with friends on a few occasions. We have always enjoyed our stay and have now returned on numerous occasions. Kit and Maddy were the hosts who set out breakfast and they were very accommodating and always had a smile. They addressed any questions or requests quickly and efficiently. This trip we stayed in a mix of rooms from ‘budget twins’ to triple and quad rooms. The rooms were all more than adequate for our needs, very clean and lots of hot water and the beds we’re comfortable. There is an honesty bar system for beers and wine and complimentary tea and coffee is available ‘out of hours’. The breakfast is a continental set up and the new coffee machine at breakfast was appreciated by our group. Bethan and Ryan are great at communicating pre-arrival and departure info. It’s a great place to stay for a few days for travellers seeking accommodation on a price conscious trip. Thanks again Kit, Maddy, Bethan & Ryan. Best regards Richie.

The mattresses were really comfortable, the shower was great, it was quiet and I slept well despite being a light sleeper. Good range on the breakfast buffet. It was brilliant to have the use of the garage and equipment for putting the bike together after the flight and making adjustments after the ride. We made good use of the lounge, pool table and picnic benches. It was very convenient to have the tea, coffee and cold drinks available too. Getting to and from the Super Morzine and Pleney lifts was easy on bikes. We also used the public bus to and from Les Gets and the bus stop for that bus was easy to get to. There's a way close by to the river and the riverside paths to Morzine or Montriond and I recommend going that way to find the Ibex Micro Brewery on the way to Montriond.

On arriving The Nant looked very shabby and tired, our room 102 was totally unacceptable for two people with two suitcases. It comprised of 2 single beds, 2 extremely small bedside racks with hanging space for about 3 items, a shelf with a hair dryer. NO wardrobe, drawers, or bedside light. Difficult to get round the room with cases on the floor. Small pod bathroom with mould in the shower, nowhere to put damp towels. We stayed 1 night then had to find alternative accommodation.

This property is pretty much perfect as a solo traveller, it is definitely on the lower cost of properties in the town but this does not mean it is unwelcoming, uncomfortable or cold. The room very much reminded me of my university days, small but functional. Breakfast was just right to start the day, with a typical continental fare and dont miss out on a hard boiled egg. Coffee is available all day long and the honesty bar for beer, wine and soft drinks is a life saver. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, whether that be as a group or as a solo traveller again.

A wonderful location and staff.

Just did a 6 night stay at The Nant with my son on a mountain biking trip. I was very impressed indeed. Nice clean hostel with great character. Clean and tidy small twin room with a good shower and bathroom, and a balcony. The inclusive continental breakfast was excellent and there's a pool table room alongside the entrance hall. Bike garage was spacious and secure, with a brilliant free bikewash. Just a short 5 min spin to the liftS, or a 10 min walk to the main centre. Communication was great from start to finish and the staff I met were really friendly and helpful. The honesty bar was a nice touch and probably cheaper than the supermarket for a cold coke or beer!! There's a big free carpark right across the road (summer only apparently) which was ideal to park the van. Okay, so it's not plush and luxurious but we didn't expect that and the value for what you pay is second to none. Highly recommended.

What a find!! Excellent location out of the busy area but brilliant links to town on bus or a 10 min walk to bars and shops. Room was superb, comfy bed, hot shower, mountain views, plenty of storage and exceptionally priced for what you get. The breakfast was lovely, and the host Ryan full of local knowledge, welcoming and so pleasant. Other features is the pool table, drying room and nice outdoor space. Will definitely book again.
