We stayed at the Russie for 4 nights - 4 of us plus the dog. its a lovely hotel - the spacious and beautifully decorated lounge is an excellent place to flop down after a hard days skiing. The four of us sat for hours doing jigsaws and playing Scrabble...something we have not done for years. The bedrooms are small in the typical French fashion but clean and pleasantly furnished - our bathroom was OK but a bit scruffy/dated. The room was at the back of the hotel and very quiet. The restaurant is very good and very crowded! it was half term and they dont take bookings so we did have to wait a bit - lots of local food like the truffade. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Internet worked brilliantly everywhere in the hotel - and its free. Mont Dore is a Belle Epoque delight - but the skiing for intermediate skiers is much better at Super Besse. it was horribly crowded on the beginner slopes at Mont Dore.
