“Pretty average hotel for sleeping in”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I hadn't read any reviews before I went to this hotel, so didn't really have any expectations, other than it was probably cheap and cheerful.

Hotel is behind another hotel, so took us a minute to find it in the dark! Staff were fairly helpful when checking in and directed us pretty well.

Room is small, but semi-well equipped. Hob, sink, microwave, dishwasher, metal pots/pans/cutlery, glasses, colander and TINY(!) cups. Got a kettle by simply asking at reception. You only get 1 roll of toilet toll, so remember to pack a few rolls as they're quite expensive in the shop (4€ for 6).

Wouldn't recommend thinking you can do anything other than eat and sleep in the rooms, but because there just isn't enough room.

“Stay here if you have a sick sense of humour”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here as a group of students on a skiing holiday, and I have to say this is one of the worst hotels I've ever had the displeasure of staying at on virtually all counts.

The rooms are small, with 4 beds crammed into each one. There's no personal space, no place to unpack your clothes. I lived out of my suitcase sleeping two feet from the dining table for a week.

The walls are paper thin, you can hear people very easily in the corridors and nearby rooms.

The amenities are virtually non-existent. You get sheets from the front desk if you are lucky enough to arrive when they bother to have the reception open, the towels cost 4 Euros, the laundry system is 9 Euros a time, there are no garbage bags. In fact, you have to take out your own trash, and they will fine the entire floor if anyone leaves their bags near elevators.

There is no cleaning service, and you are expected to clean up the room when you leave, on pain of losing your deposit. This explains why the cleanliness of the rooms is so unacceptable. If you didn't arrive in that magic window when they bother to man the front desk, you will enjoy sleeping on unidentified stains on mattresses.

The staff are rude, unfriendly, and unhelpful. They have numerous draconian rules that could leave you with a 55 Euro fine if you walk in the wrong place with ski boots, or end up out on the street in the middle of the night.

There is no internet access, free or otherwise.

And then to cap it all off, this place isn't that cheap either.

Seriously, you'd have to be a masochist to want to stay here.

“Absurd rates and top snow...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

We had an unbelievable trip with great conditions, our only slight concern about the residence being the wobbly chairs and telephone wouldn't stop ringing at night but we never found out why.

“Stolen luggage”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 February 2008

people found this review helpful

Don't stay here, choose somewhere else!

We checked Tripadvisor before we arrived so had low expectations before arrival. Expecting a cheap hotel in Val with somewhere just to sleep for a weeks skiing.
Arrived early off the snow train, stored our luggage in the secure area. Went skiing for the day and came back to find a bag stolen. The hotel staff were not interested, Thomson holiday staff were not interested. A friend lost his money and clothes and was left with just the ski suit and ski boots he was wearing that day and when we asked why the area was not left locked the staff were rude and tried to blame us? Took forever to checkin as we arrived early 08:00 and got into rooms about 16:30.
The reviews on Trip advisor were correct and it was even lower standards than we expected. The rudeness and unhelpfulness of the staff especially after theft was disgraceful, we expected at least a bit of curtesy as it was their neglegence but were offered no help or assistance which continued for the whole stay. Checking out also a nightmare, you cannot leave your room until signed off by the hotel staff, the room had to be left cleaner than when we arrived and every item is checked and you are charged to replace lost/broken items as new. we did not get charged anything but it took 2 hours to get out of this [--] hole of a hotel.
Very disappointed!
There are plenty of other places to stay on the cheap in Val and plenty of friendly french staff just not at this hotel!

Don't stay here, choose somewhere else!
