Excellent charming and helpful staff, perfect for skiing since you can start and finish at the hotel. Lively apres ski, but peaceful in the evening - good buffet breakfast. Near to some good local restaurants.

I have just returned from a four day flying visit to Morzine with my 11 year old son.
Having skied around the rest of France (Megeve, Tignes, Courcheval and ValThorens) I tentatively booked Morzine, as I did not want any transfer time eating into my short stay.
First off, Morzine. The resort itself is functional rather than beautiful, but the skiing was excellent. The fact that it had not snowed for 4 weeks prior to our arrival, filled me with dread, but they managed what snow there was superbly, and ensured almost all the runs were open.
I would highly recommend the website Morznet.com, and in particular its video snow reports which are updated almost daily and give an excellent over-view of piste condition.
Now for Le Tremplin.
Having read the reports (mostly historical) on Trip Advisor, I had incredibly low expectations. However, I have to say, that my fears were thoroughly misplaced.
The Hotel location is superb...my room (no 5) overlooked the Le Pleney run and was 50 feet from the lifts.
The room itself, whilst being on the very small side, was very clean, with comfortable (if not small) single beds, with a separate bathroom and toilet. There was always plenty of hot water, and the balcony I had (shared) was approximately 400 sq ft, and afforded the most fantastic views, especially of the show the ski school put on on the tuesday evening.
What most surprised me was the level of service and the professionalism of the staff. At one point I ran out of tissues in the bathroom, and telephoned down to ask for some more. Within 45 seconds I had a knock on my door....service not seen at many 5 star hotels I have stayed in.
Both Ophélie and Aurelien who were constantly present spoke excellent English, and were incredibly helpful for any queries I had. Additionally, they were very accommodating on assisting with my late check out..Full marks all round!
The buffet breakfast served between 8:00am and 10:30am was simple but good quality...fresh croissants, pain au chocolat, cold meats, yoghurts, eggs etc... and set us up for a good days skiing.
Yes the hotel is old, and yes the boot room did not smell like a beauty salon, but we were in and out of there in less than 2 minutes at a time, and the ski room was 15ft away where you could also store boots, if you really were that fussy!
In conclusion, please note...This is a 3 star Hotel...if you want something better, then look at 4 or 5 star accommodation.
If, however, your budget does not stretch to this, I think location-wise, service-wise and that rarest of things friendly French staff-=, then you really should take a look at this hotel.

This hotel is in a ideal location. Straight off the run / gondala and you are in the bar!

Staff were excellent and would do anything the could to help.

Only negative is that the rooms were a little small and dated. They could do with some duvets instead of blankets!! The ski room smelt a bit too, not that this is much of an issue.

We have just got back from Le tremplin after a week long stay. All the staff were helpful nd friendly. The rooms were a bit on the small side but you are only in them to sleep. We went half board and the food was good.
The location is the closest you can get to the piste.
The ski room does smell of sewerage but you are in the ski room for 5 seconds.
I would definitely return.
We travelled with 2 families with children ages 10 to 18 - 7 of them in total and every evening our kids were made something different to eat if they did not like what was on offer.
The owners live and work every day at the hotel.
