Val-d'Isere hotellia

Plussat: Really great spot in Val. We stayed for 3 nights after 7 nights at another place in Val. The Avancher hotel has been newly renovated/rebuild in 2017. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious with fantastic brand new fitted bathrooms. The hotel has a really great bar (with a fire place) and a top restaurant (we recommend booking evening meals in advance as it can be difficult to get a table even if you are staying at the hotel). The food is really superb and worth the slight hassle, especially the sharing options (see menu on the hotel page). The spa facilities are proportional to the size of the hotel but top quality. New sauna and hammam as well as jacuzzi. An absolute winner is the roof top sauna under the stars with a beautiful view (small barrel with a huge window) of the Val ski line and the slopes (really magical). There is a hairdresser (reasonably priced) and you can book a massage. Great ski room on the ground floor with a separate automatic door taking you straight outside, only 50min from the bus stop or 5-8min walk (in ski boots) to ski slopes. However, there is a path above the hotel so you can ‘technically’ ski in and out. We would definitely go back and stay there again.

Miinukset: It is not really a criticism but an observation. We were slightly disappointed that the hotel didn’t warn us about how difficult is to book a table for dinner on some of the nights. A lot of the hotel guest were simply turned away (in their hotel slippers, tired after a long day skiing). Suddenly facing having to go out and look for somewhere to eat in Val. It would have been useful to receive a message etc. promoting us to book earlier.

Plussat: We was greeted by a very friendly member of reception staff who was quick and efficient but ready to answer our questions. The hotel was beautiful and clean and the decor was obviously new, well maintained and very homely. The room did not disappoint and it was lovely to have slippers and robes. The bed was amazing and the spa was gorgeous with the perfect views. Would highly recommend this place and would love the opportunity to come back. Thank you for our stay.

Miinukset: I would have to be very picky but a second chair on the balcony would have been nice and some additional options on the breakfast for example porridge or poached egg.

Plussat: Very clean great size rooms

Miinukset: At the end of the road at the top of a hill but free bus service was reliable and frequent

Plussat: Bar and breakfast area was very nice. Very good food for breakfast. Staff super friendly

Miinukset: Bed room lacked atmosphere. It was very clean. Comfortable and nice bathroom, but the room lacked character. Even a picture/photograph would have helped since it was all bare walls.

Plussat: Garage was offered for motorcycle parking. Great onsite restaurant. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The restaurant was great! Parking was plus!

Plussat: We just couldn’t fault this hotel, stylish simplicity, functionality, friendliness, free parking and spa facilities...such great value for money - in the summer anyway ;)

Plussat: They helped with Early Check-in. The Food was great and the Bar was A+

Plussat: A good location only 5 minutes from the centre of the town. Breakfast was a great start to the day and an excellent secure car park met our main requirements. A good choice for a stay at this resort. Even as a summer resort there is lots to do. The annual fete provided even more entertainment during the weekend.

Miinukset: It may seem a strange thing to say for a winter resort but as it is accepting clients all year round air conditioning or similar would have been a great help and made sleeping easier in 30 plus temps.

Plussat: Very good value for money and rooms newly refurbished

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely hotel luxurious decor throughout and room really cosy lovely furniture and most importantly spotless .breakfast pastries were great

Miinukset: The hotel resturant food was good but expected slightly better menu and something more substantial considering the price of the dinner menu

Plussat: Incredible attentiveness of the staff

Plussat: Location was great. Staff exceptionally helpful and always on hand Bar area great.

Miinukset: Hotel Restaurant lacked character ( but there were plenty of restaurants outside the hotel that were fabulous)

Plussat: Great facilities and helpful staff

Miinukset: We had two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed

Plussat: Fantastic hotel and excellent staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff and facilities as well as location were fantastic !

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful at all times. The facilities are excellent too.

Plussat: Very good location on main street close to lifts. Hotel has nice atmosphere. Decent spa with proper sauna and a pool. Proper ski storage room with lockers and boot dryers.

Miinukset: Rooms small, no ventilation even in bathrooms. Our room was noisy since located above the bar. Piano every night. Breakfast is french=unhealthy. Had to bring our own food. They charge you extra for fried eggs :(. Restaurant overpriced like most others in the village.

Plussat: The staff were very helpfull.

Miinukset: The spa area is a fair distance from the rooms. Ski storage area is not very convenient

Plussat: Great Location, Stunning View, Very Comfortable

Plussat: We loved the breakfast selection and the spa area.. The steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and swimming pool were first class, and the view from the pool was amazing. It's the best steam room we have ever been in.

Miinukset: The room was a little bit small but otherwise it was comfortable.

Plussat: The view of our room was so good, both Olympic and the Le solaise were seen and it was a joy just to watch people skiing from the slopes. But absence of the coffee and tea stationary is a huge minus. The staff were so friendly and helpful, breakfeast was fresh everyday. Spa facilities and the swimming pool was so good. The bar, the cocktails very good.

Plussat: Great location.Good swimming pool.

Plussat: Quality of accommodation

Miinukset: We booked a taxi to return us to Geneva and the agreed price was €350 yet the taxi at Geneva charged us €420 as it was an early start which the receptionist had not told us. The taxi company was late getting to us and the driver needed to change after ten miles to a new vehicle as the driver thought our pick up was an hour later. The driver then detoured on route as he forgot to fill up with petrol the night before. The taxi company was very poor and the hotel should not use them as they don’t represent the hotel well

Plussat: The Hotel is beautiful and everything fits (design and practicability). Super friendly staff at the reception.

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet is to small and the prices for beverages are too high.

Plussat: The receptionist was delightful, very accommodating & went out of her way to help us. We were upgraded & allowed to check in early because we were attending a wedding. Great experience.

Plussat: A very comfortable hotel. Quiet in August so easy to use parking, bar, restaurant and spa. Winter?

Miinukset: Breakfast finishes at 9.30am even on Sunday! Missed it and day went wrong from there!

Plussat: Great omelette/service

Miinukset: 1st class

Plussat: the staff (vanessa) was so welcoming and accommodating for our morning arrival - a place to change and store bags so we could ski the day - the lift right across the bridge! and they put our bags in our room before we got back. Spectacular views and the spa was so welcome at the end of the day. Room was small but very comfortable, beds fantastic. Bathrooms modern and lighting excellent. No noise from the road, all staff helpful and kind. the breakfast was welcome as a part of the room fee - lots of choices, very fresh, great service. As an added fee on the morning we arrived, it was overpriced.

Miinukset: The room was small but otherwise very comfortable and well-appointed. I wish there had been a fire in the fireplace in the little lounge area at the end of the day.

Plussat: The location was great. And the bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: The facilities are quite basic. The food was very average.

Plussat: Good breakfast, cozy and comfortable decor and helpful staff and great spa

Plussat: Erittäin avulias henkilökunta. Tarjosivat jo etukäteen hissilippuvaraukset, pysäköintivaraukset sekä suksivuokrat. Kaikki oli hoidettuna etukäteen. Hyvä aamiainen ja tasokas illalliskeittiö. Tosi hyvä sijainti. Ilmainen bussi kulkee muutaman minuutin välein kyläkeskukseen ja hiihtohissit ovat ihan vastapäätä.

Plussat: Nice room. Clean. Central location on the main road.

Miinukset: Leisure facilities closed. Limited menu

Plussat: Staff excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Modern, comfortable hotel with fantastic staff. Couldn’t have asked for more

Plussat: Very good hotel and facilities, including location. Nice spa. Very kind, helpful and caring staff

Miinukset: Nothing to mention

Plussat: The staff were supper friendly

Plussat: Loved it. Great decor, spacious bedrooms / bathrooms. Unbelievably AMAZING service.

Miinukset: Difficult to find anything here... except that the door to the ski room was open and accessible for anyway to walk in and take skis / snowboards. This should only be accessible via a room key card or pin code access. Something like that.

Plussat: Wow wow wow what a fabulous 5 night stay we had at Hotel Avenue Lodge and already want to book to visit again next year. The hotel caters for everything from its own ski pro shop, to producing ski passes, fabulous bar, brilliant buffet breakfast, superb indoor pool with two saunas, steam room, jacuzzi and hot bath plus full spa treatments. The rooms were spacious and extremely comfortable with very deluxe bathrooms. Little touches like bath bombs left on the side of the bath to fizz in the bath water to help you unwind after a day’s skiing were thoughtful. The staff were first class and made our visit. Probably the best staff we’ve met during our travels around the world. Always went out of their way to make our stay smooth and carefree.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Staff were super lovely and helpful at checkin, spa, facilities, bar area, bag storage. Always friendly and wanted to help and understanding of needs. Super helpful in showing me around and where everything was and always smiling and friendly. Spoke excellent English.

Miinukset: Breakfast staff were a little frosty at times but minor details as everything else was amazing.

Plussat: Really great.

Plussat: The staff were great, the rooms stylish and the bar was cosy and welcoming.

Miinukset: Loved eveything

Plussat: Great location and facilities. Very friendly staff. Cosy beds. Nice breakfast. Highly recommend. We’ll be back.

Plussat: Henkilöstö oli kiva ja hotelli kylpylöineen oli mukava

Miinukset: Ennen saapumistamme sain viestin lomajärjestelyistä, johon vastasinkin ja tein kysymyksiä, mutta niihin en saanut vastausta. Yhtenä yönä WC:mme huoneessamme ei toiminut, mutta se kyllä korjattiin seuraavana päivänä.

Plussat: Great hotel, friendly staff and great location

Plussat: The breakfasts were superb. Location was excellent - only 50 yards from the pistes. Staff were also amazing and extremely friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Pillows were uncomfortable!!

Plussat: Great location, nice touches like evening notes about the weather tomorrow and check out information on final night. Our transfer company cancelled at the last minute and the reception staff organised us a replacement with no fuss which was really appreciated.

Plussat: Fantastic breakfast with every option possible available. Very friendly and helpful staff all round at the front desk, dining room and ski room. Very well situated with short walk to the slopes. Complimentary shuttle service within Val d'isere area if needed

Plussat: A beautiful hotel with friendly helpful staff! A wonderful restaurant, fantastic Spa & swimming pool and located right by the slopes!

Miinukset: We loved everything!

Plussat: great value, great location, spacious room and very comfy bed. also v good breakfast. nice staff

Plussat: Location, bathrooms, ski service, staff, pool, all amazing!

Miinukset: I would recommend some sheer/translucent curtains for the bedrooms in addition to the block out as I found neighbours peering in at us. Also the bed needs better pillows. Apart from that everything was perfect.

Miinukset: Missä viipyvät Finnair plus-pisteet?

Plussat: Staff were very accommodating and the breakfast was outstanding!

Plussat: Very helpful staff. Lovely pool.

Plussat: Staff very accommodating

Miinukset: More bacon!

Plussat: Bar area and spa were great

Miinukset: Lack of choice for dinner.

Miinukset: Room very small with little light but it was cheapest room

Plussat: Warm and friendly - fabulous dining service, food excellent, rates far more highly than 3 stars. Excellent Spa facilities & massage provision.

Miinukset: There was some confusion with costings through booking.com

Miinukset: Everything was excellent apart from our shower, the head was fitted about two feet off the floor which meant you had to hold it when in use and put it down again to use soap/shampoo etc. and you couldn’t stand under it.

Plussat: Breakfast had a good selection that was kept replenished and always fresh. I liked the en famille atmosphere with owners and dogs in the living room. The service was natural and attentive.

Miinukset: If you had a shower in the bathroom the water went all over the bathroom

Plussat: Excellent location for ski lifts. Good breakfast buffet. Small but nice spa

Miinukset: Bathroom had no shower curtain. Shampoos / Body wash etc was not replenished so bring your own. Very outdated decor

Plussat: Location, friendliness of staff, ski room

Miinukset: Very hard bed, I wasn’t quite sure about cleanliness, not much to offer at breakfast and sometimes some things could even be missing

Plussat: Very good breakfast buffet. Dinner on half board : 5 courses !! Very close to the center of town and the gondolas. The bedroom was quite spacious for a ski resort hotel. The family room was great. Although the "small" bedroom could accommodate 2 children (with a pull out bed), it was very tricky as there was no space between the wall and the pull out bed. But to be honest, we did not spend time at all in the bedrooms. so perfectly good enough

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit small and not very well lit.

Plussat: Good breakfast and nice spa.

Miinukset: First room, a two person room, was much too “rustic”, with a very old bathroom. There was no shower curtain so it was very old fashioned and had to lie down in the bath to avoid getting water everywhere. Second room, a triple, was more modern and actually very nice.

Plussat: Staff were super helpful and willing to go the extra mile

Miinukset: More temperature control in the rooms - it was quite warm

Plussat: The staff and service were fantastic. Breakfast was top class and everything in the hotel is new, clean and fresh. Unfortunately fell whilst skiing which meant my wife had to return my skis to the nearby store on her own but when the hotel manager realised this she sent one of the hotel staff to help and make the journey with her! Lovely stay and would defiantly recommend.

Plussat: Great location only a short walk to gondole and city centre. Friendly and service-minded personale. Clean, comfortable, and nice accomondation.

Miinukset: Little pricy.

Plussat: The Bed was super comfy

Plussat: The hotel is just by the slopes. The staff were exceptional in their courtesy, service and friendliness. The communal areas were open, modern and interesting. Breakfast was fresh, flexible and tasty. The evening meal menu was inventive and well executed. A good choice if too tired to wander the village.

Miinukset: Perhaps the room allocated could have been bigger. I suspect as I booked just a few hours before setting off that it was the last one in the building. However the facilities within were fine, the beds comfortable, sheets changed daily.

Plussat: Kekseliään hauska retrohenkinen isustus. Iso ja viihtyisä huone näköalaparvekkeella. Loistava sijainti heti hiihtohissien ja parin cabiinin vieressä.

Miinukset: Saunaosastossa toivomisen varaa. Lasiseinäinen sauna keskellä läpikulkutilaa, suihkut kaukana. Aamiaispöydässä ei vihanneksia, hedelmiä kyllä reilusti.

Plussat: Fantastic location for skiing and town. Lovely staff and great hotel!

Miinukset: This was a great hotel and I would stay again - to make it perfect I’d rectify the following things as they were a little annoying:- 1) No tea and coffee making facility in the room, then they charged €5 per drink! 2) Very Dim lighting in the bedroom. 3) not a big issue - but too much orange colouring! (Would have been ok if brighter lighting). 4) Boot heating room came on late so had damp boots coming home (despite asking).

Plussat: Staff location

Plussat: Excellent location close to the ski lifts and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants a short walk away. Good ski locker area.

Miinukset: Slippers provided but no bath robes. No tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast dining area could be a bit crowded at peak times.

Plussat: Fantastic location next to the gondola, shops and restaurants. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Miinukset: Breakfast is limited selection.

Plussat: Great breakfast! Beds comfy. Sauna & steam facilities are v nice

Miinukset: Mezzanine room for 4 is not really big enough for 4 adults - the upstairs room is v tiny and only suitable for kids really. Service in the restaurant was not great for dinner despite it not being busy really. Some staff lovely, others ( esp senior staff) v unfriendly & unwelcoming which would put me off returning unfortunately.

Plussat: Very close to pistes and lifts, well maintained hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Room was a bit small, but functional.

Plussat: Over the years , I have stayed at various hotels and chalets in Val d’Isere , and in my opinion, in terms of ‘bang for your buck’ this hotel is as good as it gets. Val is a relatively expensive resort . People making very negative comments about this hotel are unrealistic . It is not a 5 star hotel, nor does in pretend to be, but for 3 star it is excellent in every way. That said it would be so easy and cheap for them to make a few minor changes to make the experience even better. As others have said , why they should provide robes to get too and from the sauna/steam room. Sauna was out or order throughout our stay . Steam room was very good. It was -20C whilst we were there , however our room was still too hot. Heating was automatic and non controllable, which meant we had no option other than open the balcony door during the night, which sort of defeated the object . Restaurant owned by hotel la Taverne d'Alsace ) adjacent and under hotel is extremely good however we didn’t realise that residents can purchase a set menu 3 course dinner in there for about 30 euros pp. Hotel however is so centrally located, and resort has so many good restaurants , it is worth visiting other ‘eateries’ also. Big recommendation for the nearby Cote de Bouef at nearby 1789 restaurant . Big positives for the hotel are the helpfulness and friendliness of staff . Central location ( short walk to slopes ) , excellent ground floor ‘boot room’ where you have your own locker ( opened by room key ). Breakfast substantial and varied ( scrambled egg and boiled eggs providing hot option ). Bar area ( same place they serve breakfast ) is very comfortable.

Miinukset: Few improvements could be made quite simply and easily as above.

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable, good location

Miinukset: Room 108 sits just above the road and every night a local bar closes at 1.30am, terrible noise for the next one and half hours every night so no chance of sleeping. Also snow plough team met each morning at 4.30 outside the hotel to begin clearing deep snow. So be prepared to not sleep if you are allocated this room!

Plussat: Central location with easy access to the slopes, shops, and restaurants. Wonderful views of the mountains from room balcony. Good restaurant with excellent menu.

Miinukset: Can be a bit noisy at night with street revellers passing by. Rooms are cosy and a little small.

Plussat: Reception bat area refurbished and stylish

Miinukset: Decor in the room was tired

Plussat: Great location and great sized family room.

Miinukset: Nothing negative to say

Plussat: The decor was very nice in the rooms and all areas were to a good standard, the staff were friendly and helpful. Location was good and we were able to park outside.

Miinukset: all good

Plussat: Location was great

Plussat: The only thing was great about this hotel is its location.

Miinukset: The room was very old! Dirty carpet, broken toilet, sink was falling apart!! The stuff were so unfriendly! Breakfast was awful!! There were blackened bananas in the fruit bowl! The worst hotel I have ever stayed!!

Plussat: Breakfast fine for one day but may have got boring if staying a week. Location was really good for the piste.

Miinukset: Slightly antiquated

Plussat: Our regular waitress and food in the restaurant were both excellent. It is genuinely a ski in ski out hotel

Miinukset: Beds and pillows not the most comfortable. Room rather gloomy.

Plussat: location was good for skiing, less good for walking around. breakfast was poor for us, not vegetables at all, not pressed juices. too much fat, sugar and wheat.

Miinukset: only partly covered shower inside bathtub, unavailability of matrimonial bed, no slippers and robes. strong light in entrance room hall always automatically turning on even if you don't want, poor maintenance of ski room, exiting ski room on ice instead of on rubber rugs no hotel parking

Plussat: This hotel felt quite upmarket to us grungy travellers. The extra expense was justified by the excellent facilities including a good bicycle room and an excellent breakfast included in the price.

Miinukset: Only happy memories

Plussat: The location The staff

Plussat: Very cozy. Right by the lift. Close to town but far enough that the location is quiet. Nice breakfast and dinner.

Plussat: The breakfast was pretty good - I would loved to have a bit of French cheese. The staff is very nice and the ambiance is lovely. The room where I stayed on the first floor is still to be refurbished and it's a bit old style but the one where my parents stayed on the second floor was really nice, modern but still mountain style. Awesome ski-in/ski-out!!

Miinukset: The price was very expensive for a 3* hotel. EUR 300 per night!

Plussat: Excellent hotel, very biker friendly. Great location in centre of town.

Plussat: Rooms clean, breakfast very good with lots of choice. Friendly staff. Allowed to stay in room on last day until afternoon to have shower following skiing.

Miinukset: Toilet very small. Bath taps in awkward position

Plussat: Nice hotel with great location

Miinukset: Did not like breakfast would have liked fresh coffee not out of a flask. I would invest in an espresso machine. The breakfast was the only thing that let the hotel down. Very friendly staff. Would book for next year but hoping for better breakfast.

Plussat: Quaint traditional family run French hotel. Our room had been recently refurbished. Lovely sun terrace, and the river runs right alongside - not the Isere the one that comes down from Manchet valley. Usual continental breakfast, which was perfectly sufficient for us but might not suit those lookiing for a daily "full English". Owner managers were very nice and helpful, would stay there again.

Miinukset: Visiting a winter resort in the summer is always interesting. Garden areas covered with snow are exposed and the disused swimming pool didnt look at its best. However a small niggle given the wonderful location and the views of the mountain were absolutely stunning.

Plussat: Unique location.

Miinukset: Toilet was along the corridor.

Plussat: Siisti, lähellä keskustaa

Miinukset: Aamupala voisi olla monipuolisempi

Plussat: Excellent, old style chalet type hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful, able to park motorbike under cover. Clean, quirky bedroom, superb breakfast, location in centre of Val. All round brilliance.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Pretty, well run hotel in a great central location not far from the ski lifts. Lovely views from room which had a balcony.

Miinukset: Expected a separate bathroom but it was behind a curtain. Tiny toilet cubicle with dodgy sliding door.

Plussat: Friendly lady at reception

Miinukset: Everything was good.. however the room was cold and the heating wasn't on

Plussat: Room and bed were good

Miinukset: Small room everything just fits, breakfast ok but no coffee cups (never had to drink coffee in a soup bowl before)

Plussat: Magazine and Felix were at our disposal. They made restaurant reservations for us for most nights and some lunches and were patient with us when we changed our plans. The location is a short walk to the slopes, restaurants, shopping and spas and parking was free. The beds were comfortable and the room quiet.

Plussat: Good location in the centre of Val d’isere.

Miinukset: Rather tired looking and over priced for drinks and food.

Plussat: Shower facility was excellent.

Miinukset: No lift.

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent, the location was perfect, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the rooms were comfortable and clean.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Food

Plussat: Location. We were there to watch the tour come through

Miinukset: We arrived at 2:45 and no one was at reception. There was no sign to state times when someone would be back . Finally a man that was on his phone ushered us off stating someone would be here in 15min. Not a good experience. The person at 3 was much nicer. Our room was not what we expected..small, attic room. My husband is 6ft had to stoop down to get around. Not good experience plus we booked a balcony room this one didn't have one. I did go down and enquiry they said they would move us tomorrow. We were only there for 2 days to see the tour come through and for 149.00 per night just wasn't nice. Our second room was much nicer my husband could stand and we had a balcony. The hotel is clean but needs updating.

Plussat: Great staff, comfortable beds, use of sauna. Lovely place in general

Miinukset: It’s literally perfect

Plussat: Location in centre of Val Disere is perfect.

Miinukset: The rooms are quite small but they are clean and well maintained.

Plussat: We went in July and the staff were lovely and helpful in recommending places to eat in town. Breakfast was great with freshly squeezed orange juice.

Plussat: Very friendly staff

Miinukset: We thought that the breakfast prices were expensive at the hotel, so we had breakfast next door at the Boulangerie

Plussat: We were immediately offered a quieter room when asked. Appreciated

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The hotel is run by a team of helpful, friendly staff and the ambiance is welcoming and cosy. The spa is an added extra at the end of a day on the slopes.

Miinukset: There is little that the hotel can do to change it, but the recycling bins are situated at the back of the hotel and we were woken by these being collected (bottles breaking, etc), at 5 am each morning. You can also hear the other guests coming and going from their rooms (doors to the rooms are straight onto the corridors) and can them walking on the wooden flooring above.

Plussat: Excellent accommodation and service. Friendly and professional staff

Plussat: Location and quality of rooms, staff, bar etc.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was excellent, the staff v good. The hotel is ideally placed for the ski lifts.

Miinukset: Not much really.

Plussat: Staying in the La Daille area of Val DÍsere is wonderful. Easy access to the Funicular and Follie Douce telecabine give you quick access to the Val Dísere and Tigne ski areas. A free bus service (located across the street from the Le Samovar gives you easy access in 5 minutes to the village of Val DÍsere.

Miinukset: We reserved a non-refundable, apartment from Hotel Le Samovar. The apartment did not meet our four-star expectation. It was delivered to us dirty (dirty dishes & silverware in cupboards, cigarette butts littering patio, heavy layer of dust on floor) and was poorly equipped (No satellite TV channels, WIFI for a charge (Orange.fr) that did not work - costing us hundreds of Euros in roaming packages, Drip coffee maker with no coffee pot, Nespresso machine offered - but without being able to purchase Nespresso capsules). The hotel restaurant offered very nice food in a cozy, beautiful atmosphere but the slow and rude service prevented us from returning for a second meal.

Plussat: Amazing experience!

Miinukset: One bathroom was a little awkward

Miinukset: Very slow wifi

Plussat: Staff were extremely friendly and helpful

Miinukset: WiFi basically doesn’t work in the bedroom

Plussat: Excellent Breakfast fresh orange juice yoghurt fresh fruit pancakes bacon scrambled and boiled eggs cold meats variety of bread croissants, very good value for money Relaxing bar live music friendly staff cosy hotel small pool steam room and sauna

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Poor reception staff who didn't have full knowledge. Disappointed to have to pay for kitchen pack after paying 6,000euros. No bathrt. Very hot and no way of controlling temp. No balcony. Had to request DVD player

Plussat: This hotel will stay in my memory for sure!

Miinukset:

Plussat: The Samovar fulfilled all our needs. It was comfortable and ideally located for skiing.

Plussat: Location and good bus link to Val Very close to the new bubble lift and ticket office Very nice bar brasserie at the bottom of the slopes where you could get a good beer and crepe for the kids (no beer for the kids) .

Miinukset: All was good

Plussat: Great location just opposite the Funival, bus stop to the center and shops. Very clean, functional, renovated room.

Miinukset: No extractor fan so need to be careful if cooking.

Plussat: The vibe

Miinukset: Bunk bed not big enough for 15 year olds

Plussat: Good value for money. Good location - even though it's just outside the main Val d'Isere area, it's well served by frequent and free buses. The bus stop is right outside the building. Also, there is an underground public (paid) parking - under the building. Worth the money to park here, especially in winter, and then take the free bus in and out. Also, liked the fact that it has free lockers for ski equipment. There is a supermarket across the street. And a few restaurants. Again, busing into Val d'Isere town is no-hassle at all.

Miinukset: Pretty compact room. Functional, but not very roomy either. If you bring large suitcases, you will have to keep them closed and upright. Also, would be nice to have heated Ski-shoe stands. Basic cleaning of the room should be included, IMHO. In all fairness, they did make it clear beforehand that it is not.

Plussat: Everything worked

Miinukset: Small and a little prison like.

Plussat: After 23 years going to val 2/3 times a year I can say it was fantastic for us ., location

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Location good.

Miinukset: Having to pay for Tolilet Rolls seems very unreasonable.

Plussat: Convenient location for the funicular and daille gondola.. perfect for a week skiing with 2 young children. Supermarket close by, regular free buses into the centre of town and parking ( paid) underneath

Miinukset: Nothing exactly as described

Plussat: This is a great place to stay: Positives - Location is fantastic, directly opposite La Daille lift and the funicular lifts. Supermarket and restaurants/cafe opposite. Ski hire is within the building and they were excellent and flexible. Staff at the apartments were superb, friendly and helpful. P2 car parking is under the building which was reasonable and made unpacking easy. Apartment was warm with lashings of hot water. Bath and a shower (everyone’s happy) Loads of towels/bedding provided Balcony was nice with chairs provided. Red route bus stop right outside so you can pop into Val D’Isere for the evening or connect to other lifts at the bottom easily. Bread delivery everyday from reception. Check in and out was easy and quick. We could view the apartment first to make sure we liked it. Great views up the mountain. Very reasonable price considering the location. We loved it for our family and cannot wait to rebook. It was great value for money.

Miinukset: Negatives: Apartment was not very clean and a bit tired, even the hoover bag was full but we loved it anyway. Can be a little bit noisy from other apartments but I put in ear plugs and slept well. No hairdryer but they were available at reception. Safe was an extra charge. No oven just a hob but we knew that and it was not a problem.

Plussat: Great location, close to La Daille lift and the funicular, great access to supermarket, and regular buses to the village.

Miinukset: Bathroom maybe needed updating, but it was perfectly serviceable.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Small room

Miinukset: The noise from the bar

Plussat: Great breakfast

Miinukset: Small room and a bit noisy

Miinukset: lack of hairdryer

Plussat: Location and price

Miinukset: Uncomfortable and small bathroom

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Walls to thin. Noise from neighbouring rooms

Plussat: A basic but excellently located hotel that ticked all my boxes.

Plussat: The breakfast was a good selection and perfect before skiing. The location is fantastic, short walk to the ski-lifts and bus pick-up point

Miinukset: There is no lounge for non-skiers to relax

Miinukset: The bar on the ground floor turns into a nightclub after 10pm. My whole room was shaking with loud music. For two nights (my entire stay) I was unable to get a decent sleep

Plussat: 5 minutes from main ski lifts and val d'isere centre. Great restaurant/bar and staff.

Miinukset: Curtains kept falling down in the room.
