“Was expecing the worst but actually...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2008
2
people found this review helpful

After reading the other review of this place on this site, I was expecting the worst. I mean, I've stayed at some crap places in the past but.....this one was fine! We didn't have to make beds, no mould, or vomit, we didn't have to clean anything before using it...maybe we got lucky?!

We're used to travelling, in our late-20's, relaxed, easy going, not students. We stayed at the 5 person apartment, granted it was small but we were there for the snow. But really, the size wasn't a real problem.
It was clean, comfortable, the beds were firm, clean and made.

The kitchen is basic but that's what i expected. Take a sharp knife if you plan on any cooking. We managed to do scrambled eggs, omlettes, pasta, easy stuff. They could do with a toaster and kettle - none of that. There's a fridge, microwave so that's good, and a crap but functional coffee maker. Oh and dish washer, you have to buy your own tablets.
There's a cleaning fee if you dont want to clean the place yourself - recommended, because i'm lazy and theres a 10am checkout.

Other stuff were, the doors were rickety - roller door to kitchen wasnt hinged properly, as too were the ones to cupboard. We took them off the rails, it was easier! Light globes were blown - not a big issue.

Staff were fine, quite helpful in some respects. Didn't have any problems with them.

All in all, we paid for a basic accom and we got it. Don't expect egyptian cotton sheets and mini-bars and all that jazz. if you dont like it, go out into the town and get about, the hotel is in a great location!

Stayed December 2007

“Pretty awful experience”

where to start? I'll just list the problems so as to save reading time. The staff were offensive and discriminated against english people- especially large groups of english lads just out to have a good time. The rooms stank; the beds were disgusting; the toilet had a layer of vomit, grime and mould growing on it; the utencils were plastic, even the pans- so they melted. At least this was enough to distract you from the stench of the 2cm layer of faecal matter that had accumulated, probably over several years. Furthermore i did not see ONE attractive female throughout my entire stay. This was the worst week of my life.

“Don't stay here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2007

people found this review helpful

This is for students only!!!!! We stayed here January 07 and it was a bad experience. The staff were unhelpful and offensive, the hotel is tatty and overpriced and I would never recommend it. Do they have planning/building laws in France?! We had to make the so called beds (see picture thats the bed) and clean the rooms ourselves, the rooms are cramped and uncomfortable, You would not put your bare feet on the floor. There was no bar area or any where comfortable to relax. When you did have your ski boots on the only way out of the hotel was down a flight of steel steps with the melting snow dripping on you! .. Good points are you are 5 mins walk from the lifts in the mornings the resort itself is ok , the bars are very poor and smelly but great skiing
