“A great, basic hotel with fab food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here in July in a very busy mountain bike race week. The hotel was modern, with really lovely, helpful young staff. The room was basic but immaculately clean and comfortable. The food was outstanding, three lovely courses with wine each evening. The menus were well thought out and gave us plenty of energy for biking each day! There was a great breakfast buffet in the morning which was well thought out and imaginative for a hotel full of hungry mountain bikers!
The lounge and bar area including sun terrace were perfect but most of all we found the staff in the bar and restaurant friendly, chatty and helpful. Great service, all you can ask for really!

Room Tip: Ask for a room that is not directly above the bar terrace... can get a bit noisy at night and cigare...

“A very basic hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We paid a supplement to get 2 single rooms - because that was all there was left during the peak ski season - but in retrospect I feel that we were ripped off. The room was really basic and the staff did minimal cleaning. The hotel manager was not visible and the rep never bothered to check if the guests were happy. The food was OK but given the high price we paid the general standard of the hotel was very poor.
Ther was much better accommodation available in AdH but the problem as always in high season is getting there - hence the ski companies can sell 3rd rate rooms for grosly inflated prices.

“Nice, friendly, basic hotel with friendly atmosphere.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011

Stayed here from 8 fen 2011.

Booked through ski bound, usually do school hols. Although there was a small school there prob only 50/50 and kids not intrusive.

Hotel is in a pretty good location, with cage lifts 2 min walk away and you can ski back to that point too. Close to town centre, and great views from rooms and dining room.

Relaxed feel to the hotel with friendly staff and we met some really great people while there.

Food was very good too, you all dine at same time, creating a good atmosphere. There is also a small bar area with sofas and a fire.

Rooms - basic and bland, but how much time do you spend in there on a ski hol? Bathrooms were newly returned and clean.

Ski area - snow was in limited supply but there was enough on pistes and a week of sunshine can't be sniffed at. I could imagine that with decent snow the off piste could be very good as very open runs and mountain. There is also a reasonable (not huge) board park near bottom of main lifts that is easy to do laps through.

Great hol in all.

“Fab hotel. Brillaint staff. Would stay again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

Hotel was in a good location to all the bars, restaurants. A small walk to the ski lifts but not difficult. All staff were very welcoming, and helpful. Ski tech was really nice and helpful as had to change my ski's, which is all on site. Food was really good, best we have every had on a ski holiday. Very good vegetarian options. Rooms were basic but spacious, need a little more attention to cleaning. but comfortable bed and pillows which is essential on a ski holiday.

“Great value for money with good sized rooms and very good staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011

We stayed from the 6th Feb. 2011 for 1 week, four friends, from Gatwick.
Rooms are a great size with a good size bathroom and extra bed, we had a balcony which catched the sun in the evening, rooms where clean and tidy and bins emptied daily.
The hotel was only a short walk from two lifts and a piste ran opposite for the run home.
Food was good, breakfast was buffet (could do with more eggs) and the evening meal was three courses with a veg option. The portion sizes did vary between a people which was a shame.
The staff are fantastic, very good at their jobs, one of the best customer services we have had in a hotel. Very informative and nothing was too much trouble...so thanks guys you helped make our stay a great holiday!
Overall I would recommend this hotel as for the money it was great value and one of the better hotels we have stayed in for the price.
