This is our Best Value pick in Aix-les-Bains. It is a 4-star hotel with a guest score of 8.5 out of 10 from 2,050 reviews, the joint second-best score among the 7 properties we compared.
It suits spa-focused weekends and travellers arriving by train who want to walk to town. Guests praise a multi-level spa with pools, jacuzzis, saunas and sensory showers that stays open until late.
Skip it if you want the best-rated hotel in town and can spend more: our Luxury pick scores 9.2. If you want the lowest price and have a car, our Budget pick costs less.
Location and getting around
The address is 2 rue Jean Louis Victor Bias. The Arch of Campanus is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. The Faure Museum is about 0.5 km, around 6 minutes.
Hautecombe Abbey is 9 km away, about 113 minutes on foot. That is far, so you will need public transport, a car or a taxi.
These times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified. Guests rate the location 9.0 out of 10 and mention the train station, parks and local restaurants nearby.
What guests say
The spa is the standout. Guests describe a large complex on several levels, with pools, jacuzzis, saunas and sensory showers, open until late.
The central position is the other point guests like, close to the station, parks and places to eat.
Breakfast draws a mixed verdict. The buffet is large, with sweet and savoury choices and fresh products, but some guests find its price high.
