“Allez, les Rosbifs!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2010

people found this review helpful

We selected Le Soleil d'Or after visiting the restaurant and sun terrace on a previous visit. The hotel is a superior quality establishment for its class and its position next to the slopes is unparalleled. If you have children, you could not wish for more convenience and the rooms and food are first rate.

So what's the catch? Well, to stay there, you'd better either be French or have absorbed that whole Peter Mayle "Year in Provence" thing so that you are really into the Gallic approach to hospitality. Fortunately, my wife is bilingual because no effort whatsoever was made to communicate in English to me or the children. The service was formal and polite in the usual spirit of egalite and all that but I got the impression that most of the hotel was populated by Francophone regulars from France and Belgium and we were kind of inconveniently intruding on a family event.

A lot of people are going to really like this hotel and will be delighted to escape the prepackaged standard offer and the loud, in-your-face English invasion of other resorts. But take along your cultural awareness, an extensive phrasebook or translator and sense of humour.

“If you want comfort, cleanliness, good food, friendly staff, good location look no more”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2010

We were a party of 13 visiting in February 2010. I have been skiiing in Alps this last 6 years and by far this is the best value hotel we have stayed in for nice airey comfortable rooms (good quality mattresses - no past their sell by date old mattresses) with good storage space in rooms, excellent meals, nice bar and restaurant, friendly staff and ski from/to door and lockable ski/boot lockers.
Quiet location for sleeping but just short walking distance to bars etc. Hotel is off drunks home route so stays quiet throughout night! Drinks in hotel bar are reasonably priced so no need to drink outside hotel when you are shattered after a days skiing.
Its a family run hotel.
We did not use sauna, fitness room or outside jacuzzi.
Staff are really helpful with professional manner and good sense of humour.
We will go back.

“First French trip, but not last !!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2009

We stayed at the Hotel Souleil d'or over New Year and were delighted with our choice. We booked through Crystalski and they were also excellent, they made sure at all points in our stay that we were satisfied with all aspects of our break .(Cheers Dan and crew)
The hotel staff also made our stay pleasant, being ignorant Brits, our French was to say the least basic, but most of the staff had good language skills and this made things a lot easier for us. They were courteous and eager to please, which some have said was not the case during their stay, so maybe they are taking notice.
The room was well decorated and comfortable, with wooden ceilings and a fantastic balcony overlooking the slopes. There was a little noise at night as the snow cannons are quite close, and the noise of explosions during the early morning which we were told was avalanche precautions, but nothing so bad that it kept us awake, just thuds in the distance.
The facilities include sauna and Jacuzzi, small bar area and lounge, computer access, table tennis and heated ski storage. The resort ski pass includes the heated outdoor swimming pool, in the town, which seemed well used, but at between -5 and -15 not by us!!
The skiing in resort we found a little daunting at first, but once up the mountain we soon found our favourites and began to relax into the alpine skiing experience, the snow was better higher as are the views. The instruction was good, although it was a little slow as we were placed in an English and Italian group, so all explanations were done twice.
Finally, a lot has been said about the food and it is superb, breakfast was continental style, and the evening meals were a real treat, well cooked, well presented and tasted fantastic. Wine was €19 for the house red, but curiously no house white, and really set off our meal. If you can't manage a full bottle, they will save it for the following night.
We are already looking to book New Year 2009, and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Lovely hotel - superb food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2009

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights over the New Year and loved it. The hotel is centrally situated, right at the bottom of the slopes. Everything was spotless and very warm and welcoming.
We had room 20 on the second floor, which had a lovely balcony with stunning mountain views. The double bed was very comfortable and there ws a spare single bed in the room also. The bathroom and toilet were separate and the bathroom had a shower and a bath. Towels were plentful and warmed on a huge heated towel rail. The bathrom has a hairdrier, but there's no kettle - we took our own. There was also a TV, although there was only one English channel (BBC News). The safe in the room is free.
The meals were outstanding - excellent choice at breakfast and four beautifully presented gourmet courses every evening. New Year's Eve was a Gala dinner - with seven courses altogether. At midnight, a highland piper came into the restaurant, which was a lovely festive touch, then there was a disco afterwards.
In the basement of the hotel there are ski lockers - one per room - which are free. These have boot warmers in them and plenty of room for your stuff.
Contrary to other reviewers, we found all the staff very friendly and helpful. They were able to answer any questions we had and all of them were keen to make sure we enjoyed our stay. On the last morning, we left at 6am, and the lady on reception came to find us the night before so we could order our early breakfast.
We'd definitely return to this hotel.
