Hôtel du Château Annecy is in a terrific location, just up the hill from the old town but not right in the thick of the touristy area. We were able to walk from the train station in about 12 or 15 minutes and walk from the hotel to restaurants in 3-5 minutes. We had a great view from our room. Breakfast (for an additional 11 euro per person) was good — fresh croissants, bread, ham, cheese, yogurt, cereal. Apples and oranges served were out of season and not tasty. The staff were efficient and businesslike but not particularly friendly or engaging. I’d recommend the hotel for the price and location but it’s not amazing.
