  : ACTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT THE LOCATION IF YOU ARE IN FOR SKI OR A STOP BEFORE YOUR TRAVEL TO ITALY THROUGH GRAND Saint Bernard PASSAGE
  : WE BOOK A TRIPLE ROOM THROUGH BOOKING.COM. FOR THE HOTEL Bivouac de Napolon. WHEN WE ARRIVE THERE THEY GAVE US A SMELLY OLD FASHION ROOM AT THE SIDE OF THE HOTEL WITH THE EXCUSE THAT WE BOOKED FOR THE MOTEL WITH THE PRICE CHARGED. EVEN THOUGH WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ROOM THE OWNER REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY OTHER ROOM AVAILABLE SAYING THATS IT. TAKE IT OR LEAVE. CAUSE WE ARRIVED LATE, WE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AT THAT MOMENT. AFTER LEAVING OUR LUGGAGES AT THE ROOM WE DECIDED TO USE THE JACUZZI FACILITIES AS IT WAS ADVERTISED ON THE SITE. AGAIN THE OWNER SAID THAT THE JACUZZI FACILITY IS FOR THE HOTEL MEMBERS, NOT FOR THE MOTEL AND HE ASKED 20E /P TO USE IT. FOOD AND BREAKFAST VERY AVERAGE. WE STAYED THERE TILL NEXT DAY AND LEFT.

  : We had passed over the Col de Saint Bernard from Italy and this was a convenient stop on the way down. The room was clean with comfortable beds. The hotel has stopped at n the 70s to some degree but the staff were nice.
  : Our room had no curtains.

  : I had a really super stay here, thanks to all staff. I was running the 21km Trail du Velan alpine race and this was 10 minutes walk away from the start / finish. I had booked one of the small motel cabins (single story block separate to the main hotel), which are basic but clean and had everything I needed. The food in the main restaurant was superb, and the service really great. I will definitely come back and am looking forward to it. All photos taken during weekend of 22-24 July 2022 and of the main hotel, my motel room and immediate area.

  : The scenery was lovely. The breakfast was nice.
  : The room was very basic, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the restaurant was very expensive so there was no where to eat. I would not stop there again. No WiFi in the motel bit.
