Trafalgar Hotel: Best Western International (Annecy)

Misterpiggy didn't have any expectations as the tour bus pulled up to the front entrance of the Best Western Internation in Annecy. From the street, the hotel looked rather small.  The dull gray of the hotel exterior even matched the sky.

The lobby quickly filled up as the tour group all entered the hotel.  After getting the room assignments, misterpiggy opted for the stairs as the elevators were so small (4 people with luggage was a squeeze, if he recalls correctly).

It felt like a rooming house and misterpiggy counted 3 doors inside his dwarfish room. One for the separate toilet room, one of the bathroom and one for the sleeping area. there was a small extension at the end of the room that didn't seem to serve any purpose. Maybe they should have turned it into a closet or something.  New laminate floors and paint didn't seem to hide how old and tired the room was.  Luckily it was only a one night stay.

There was supposed to be free Wi-fi but Marie advised that it was not working during the stay.

Two twin beds.


The small desk.  Oh, there was a flat screen TV mounted on the wall, but misterpiggy never used it.


View from the room.


Bathrooms as small as Japan.


Lots of storage though and a room safe behind the doors.



Breakfast was a rather dismal affair.  There was a rather nice looking restaurant at the front of the hotel, but the tour group ended up having breakfast in a back room where the food selection and quantity was quite limited.  Here's a picture of where misterpiggy didn't eat.


On the plus side, the hotel was only a ten minute stroll to the old part of town.
