Excellent breakfast as long as you don’t get there towards the end of service. Spa facilities good but you had to reserve a space to use the pool sauna and steam. Extremely good location with a very short walk to the Rondpoint des Pistes.

I didn’t like our room which was a mezzanine with double upstairs and two bunk beds downstairs. That said the bed was very comfortable, bathroom was nice and plenty of storage in the room. My daughters loved their twin mezzanine room which had a seating area with sofa downstairs.

The location was amazing and breakfast and evening meals very good. The reception staff and boot room staff were absolutely brilliant! We were over visiting our son who’s working the season in Val and so we were very happy to be there!

The bedroom was a little tired to be honest, with stains on the carpet and ragged seat covers on the sofa. The cleaning was a bit hit and miss. There were crumbs on the floor even after the room had been ‘cleaned’ and on the last day, when checking for paperwork that might have fallen down the back of the dresser there was a smashed glass there which wasn’t one of ours! Goodness knows how long it had been there!

Staff and service were excellent. But, Hotel was just painted. Everywhere was smell chemical factory which made us have a headache. It should not be done just before opening of the hotel. Or, we should be warned before coming. Me and my kids were uncomfortable due to this.

Recently refurbished but it was the friendliness of the staff which won

no hooks in the room to hang ski gear. But they say they will change his at the end of the season

We loved the hotel. Great location, good food and breakfast, lovely vibe. My one small criticism would be the size of the bathroom - felt quite cramped.

location good, breakfast was fine

calculation of the bill. I was overcharged by E1300 which was disapointing. They have re-paid the money but still feels wrong that i had to spend alot of time going through the bill to calculate the correct sum
