Campanile Chambéry

We have stayed at the Campanile a few times now on our way to Italy as it is near the Frejus tunnel. The rooms are geared for travellers but they are clean and functional and even have a tea/coffee tray with biscuits and kettle which is quite unusual for this type of stop over. We eat at the restaurant and the food and service is always good. Breakfast is exceptional and there is plenty of choice including some hot dishes, pancakes as well as the usual croissants and cakes.

Comfortable, clean, quiet location accessible by car to town. Area is a mix of residential and commercial, not attractive but not unpleasant. Good restaurant on premise with fine cuisine, which was a great asset for tired travellers. The nice surrounding landscape softens the motel like experience.

From the outside, it wasn’t very appealing - a bit tired and run-down in an area of cheap budget hotels. However once inside things were different - a clean and comfortable room with kettle provided, plus all the amenities you would expect in a 3 star hotel. Secure parking and a really good restaurant completed the package.

A comfortable hotel - although the room was on the small side it was clean and there was even a kettle and tea bags which was well reserved after travelling from Italy. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was very good - we had the entrecote steak cooked perfectly and the buffet dessert which was excellent. The young girl that served us in the evening spoke some English and was efficient and very pleasant.

Convenient location. We have stayed here before and use as a stop over on the way to Italy. Really handy having a restaurant which means you don't need to start looking for places to eat. We were able to chill after a long drive before the last leg of our journey.
