We chose this place because it was close to the Giez golf club. Reception is closed between 12-16:00 and after 19:00 which is not convenient. We stayed 1 night only on ground floor 1 bedroom apartment. Place needs serious maintenance, no ventilation in bathroom and toilet, stuffy and there was mildewed smell. You have to make your own bedsheets. Bed is hard and uncomfortable. There was a heating dryer but worked only 2 minutes and stopped working. Fridge freezer door was missing and we bought milk, juice and some food for breakfast which froze everything!! There was an inner door and didn’t close properly we had to close the wooden door in front which makes the place feel Claustrophobic as the window was small. TV was a very small seems like a 14” monitor. Sofa had no cushions which was really uncomfortable to sit. Looks dirty. The departure instructions require us to take out our own garbage, take out all our used linen, towels, clean dishes and the floor. Towels were really old and doesn’t dry properly. Definitely not worth staying there again. One night seem too long. Positive point was the bathroom, tub seems new and water pressure is good.

The accommodation was very basic and disappointing. The apartment was so dark a light needed to be on all the time . There was no curtain on the lounge area where the sofa bed was therefore you were woken up early by the light . The main bed was so hard it gave me severe back ache for the whole 7 days . The sofa bed was stained . There was Costs that I think was unreasonable , ie having to pay for bed linen . Also I thought I had paid all tax’s but still had to pay more when arrived . Also when I asked for extra pillows they said this was not allowed i even asked if I could pay , still no .

One night stop over
We we're looking for an affordable one night stop over for a family of 4 before travelling onto Meribel for weeks skiing. We were pleasantly surprised with the standard of the Accommodation for the price paid (it was far better than the apartment we had booked for our main holiday) The Staff were very accommodating and stayed open late to welcome us and had restaurants on hand to recommend as a quick fix for tired children. Would definitely consider using again be it for a stop over or longer stay

Great place
This was a great place - more of an apartment than a hotel. The setting is in a tiny town out in the mountains -- beautiful place. We drove and even with the Navigation GPS is was a bit hard to find but worth the effort -- Big room - kitchen facilities - Internet - swimming pool and golf close by. Wanted to stay longer

Le Birdie Giez
Very smart,modern motel with good, well equipped apartments.The one drawback is the reception.It has very limited opening hours and unfriendly staff.We arrived at 2pm but were told we couldn`t have the key till 3.30.The unhelpful receptionist said it was due to cleaning but the motel was nearly empty.She wouldn`t check if the apt was ready. The Birdie is very isolated and there are no shops in the village of Giez so it would be nice if the reception could provide a limited supply of groceries.I.e.bread,butter,milk,coffee etc.

Bonne localisation pour quelqu'un de véhiculé. Propreté de l'appartement à notre arrivée à revoir car présence poussière et poils sur le mobilier et matelas. Futon détérioré, dans un piteux état. Baignade qu'une fois a la piscine après avoir constaté son manque de propreté. Heureusement que nous avons été comblé par la beauté d'Annecy .
