We stayed in the hotel rather than the apartments, and were very pleasantly surprised after reading the Trip Advisor comments. The room was spacious, maybe a little dated, but comfortable and clean. The staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful and spoke excellent English. The ski/boot room was absolutely fine, very warm, and taking the key back to reception was... More

Worst place I've ever been for skiing. Skis and boots are strictly forbidden in rooms and on the ground floor. It is ok but... there is no boots heaters so if your boots are wet you have to have to use them wet and cold until the end of your staying. One key for the room and for the ski-locker... More

Thank you for your post. Ski equipment is stricly forbidden because it damages too much the apartments (if you prefer to get a dirty and damaged apartment you should indeed go to another place). This rule is easy and must be respected for the well-being of all. Each apartment gets a private ski locker, and WE DO HAVE A SKI... More

We had a tour group organized by the manager or owner of this hotel, who took their money and never paid the company who supplied the services...nearly US$10,000. Buyers Beware.

We have been to Le Portillo for 3 years.For the amount of money it now charges Le Portillo is not looking like good value for money. Whilst some of the apartments have been refurbished (long overdue) in the past year some remain very shabby. We had an apartment for 8 that suffered from a substantial drainage leak that flooded the... More

Location was fabulous but some of the staff were rude in the face of no provocation. Our particular gripes were: When checking in not enough cash was available for the tourist tax, we went away and got the 1 Euro required. Upon return, we were instructed to hand over 600 Euros cash as a deposit: why the necessity for cash... More

We chose the Portillo because of its location in the resort and we were not dissapointed. You can ski straight out of the residence and the shopping centre which has a supermarket and ski hire shops is just opposite - very handy when you are self catering! The apartment itself was spacious enough for a week's holiday and was better... More

We have stayed in better accommodation for a lot less expense and in supposedly worse ‘cheap and cheerful’ accommodation that was a lot better. We base our opinion on comparison with quite a few other apartments we have stayed in on holidays to france. 'Ideally placed in the centre' means it is great if you like being kept awake each...

Val Thorens the resort itself was fantasic - lots of great restaurants (especially recoomend Tex-Mex - incredibly good food with quick service - much more than we had expected), good night life, shopping and of course great snow being the highest resort in Europe. The hotel is in a great location, with ski to access to the slopes (though these... More
