If you stay here make sure you have a bedroom not sharing and sleeping on the bed settee. Its hard. Accommodation is basic and free flow restaurant is poor the food already cold before you get to your table as you choose starter and main at the same time. Pizzas however are of a good quality. Location near gondola and chair to Alpette good but if you can afford a hotel in village providing good food do so. This is cheap and not so cheerful. On the plus side pool and gym is good and clean

My husband, my 2 years old and I, stayed in an apartment to sleep 4 people, self catering, for one week in December, before Christmas.

The apartment was spacious with living area, bedroom, kitchen area, bathroom, and balcony. It appeared clean on arrival, but walls were worn and marked., the shower was tiny, with missing tiles, the smoke/mould smell in the room, coming out from the heating system, was unbearable. Throughout our stay we did not have any maid service at all.

The staff in general is unprofessional and disinterested. They just look like they don’t want to be there! They were completely unhelpful; I had to ask for every small little detail of our stay, and I still received the wrong information for how to access to the parking, where our apartment was, our services. And the problem wasn’t the English language as I was speaking in Italian.

The hotel has a small gym and swimming pool, but it turned out that the Jacuzzi and sauna are not part of the Olympic Village package and you have to pay extra if you want to use them for half an hour.

The local town of Sestriere is a 10 min walk, all up hill. Not the nicest town that I have seen in Italy, takes a while to get the feel for the place...has a bank and a few cash points, some restaurants and bars. Overall I would say that Sestriere is a fairly good place where you can have a good time skiing (better if you are an experienced skier). But definitely there are better places in Italy like Sauze D’Oulx or Monginevro or the Trentino Alto Adige region.

Definitely we wouldn't go to the Olympic Village again and wouldn't recommend it.

average hotel, long queue at check-in, good italian food, need to paid 100 euro deposit and remember to get this back, you need to clean your room and kitchen before check-out.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT YOU NEED TO WALK 20 MINUTES TO SKI SCHOOL MEETING POINT UP THE HILL - VERY DIFFICULT AND DISAPPOINTED. (specially with kids)
If you want to leave equipment where ski meeting point then it cost you extra 5 Euro per ski with boots per day.
Agent Thomson never said anything

Basic and a bit institutional, but met our needs. The rooms were very large (great for keeping all your ski gear in) and had been renovated to remove the kitchens that were there during the Olympics. As mentioned in other reviews, the space between the toilet and shower is small but was fine for us. The rooms can be difficult to find though because the numbering system is not how we expected. ie. room 299 is on the third floor and 337 is on the fifth floor. The wine bar in the basement was excellent value and a nice place to spend a few hours. The food in the canteen-style restaurant was sufficient, but not fancy. The Bellagio it is not.. but it is clean, modern and practical. We got it cheaply on a last minute deal and weren't expecting much.

The most important thing for us was that it is right next to the slopes. The bubble to Sauze D'Oulx and the chair up to Sestriere slopes are literally right in front of the hotel.
