Le Brin de Zinc sur Barberaz

18/01/2026: Wonderbox stay (night + spa + breakfast) was perfect. No complaints whatsoever.

12/01/2026: The hotel is easily accessible by bus from Chambéry train station. The place is surprisingly spacious and warm. All wood and very cozy. We were greeted by a very charming and friendly man. However, the rest of the staff seemed unavailable and rather unfriendly (in short, if you go to reception for information, don't hesitate to clearly ask someone for help. Otherwise, you'll be left waiting indefinitely). Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready when we arrived, even though we arrived an hour after the scheduled check-in time. On the other hand, the room was spotless and the bedding comfortable. At the restaurant, although we had a reservation, we were completely ignored for 5 minutes before they even looked at us. The menu is nice, but some dishes lack side dishes in my opinion, and the hygiene of the premises wasn't great (dirty menu, crumbs on the table, filthy floor). However, the breakfast buffet is very well stocked and of good quality. The spa is lovely, and an hour is plenty as you can see everything quite quickly. I think it's worth getting a massage to enhance the experience. Overall, it was good value for money and a chance to spend a relaxing weekend, if you're not too fussy about the service.
