The apartment was great and on a perfect location. Itâs possible to ski to the main lifts and ski storage is included in the building. The size of the apartment is good for 8 adults, itâs bigger than it looks on the pictures. It would not be comfortable with 10 adults, because of the small fourth bedroom with bunk beds. Receiving the key at arrival was easy, however it would be nice to receive the instructions in English. Communication with the host was very good.
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully presented apartment
The owner communicated effectively through the whole process
Modern comfortable and all the facilities needed for a family stay
5 stars as as a travel agent would highly recommend this ski in ski out experience situated in the same building as a supermarket laundry ski hire spa and reception
Across the road from the free shuttle too
Best ski week ever!
Great place to stay, absolutely ideal location for the slopes with very simple ski in/ ski out. The chalet was great, a bit small in the communal area for 8 adults to socialise, but worked fine. It is well equipped with good amounts of cutlery and crockery. Chalet was warm and always hot water in the three showers. It is at the lower end of VT so a bit of a walk up to the bars in the evening for those that wanted more than local apres ski. As in other reviews. The bunk bed room is too hot and has no windows or ventilation. We only had 2 adults in there, but there struggled to sleep well. We spent have any of the controllable heaters on, it is just the property controlled underfloor heating that can be changed. And the lifts are awful - not a problem for skiing in the morning as the boot room and skin out are only a walkable 1 floor down, but a real pain to get up the 7 floors to reception / the street and terrible at busy times. Overall, our key requirements for skiing have always been warmth, hot showers and easy to get in and out for skiing and it ticks all of these!
Location of the apartment is great, truly ski-in/out. The lift is passing right by your windows and balcony.
Mixed feelings about the apartment itself. 3 good size double bedrooms (2 of them with window/balcony), 3rd one has a small window from the enclosed shower area. The problem is with the 4th bedroom, which is really small and has 2 bunk beds and no windows. We had 4 adults staying there and that was not good. No space, no good air circulation, no windows, no closet space. This room might be OK for kids, but definitely not adults.
The internet was not working when we arrived and it took us 2 days to figure it out how to connect to the box. We could not use the ski locker because (according to owner) previous family took a key and it was not available. The tea pot was broken and not usable.
One of the toilets was leaking and had a water puddle on the floor our entire stay. I have been in contact with owner about this issue multiple times during our stay but nothing was done. I did get a call from plumber company eventually on Friday (our last night) saying the plumber will stop by at 6-7pm - I said NO. It was our last night and we did not want a plumber there before we leave. Also this issue was known to host prior to us coming because the was a piece of cloth laying under toilet collecting water.
One more thing to be aware of specially if you're coming from US and not used to that. Apartment does NOT come with any sheets, linens or towels! No toilet paper either!
As 2 families (8 people in total) holidaying with teens this apartment was great. 2 bedrooms and bathroom facilities on each side of the living area meant each family had their own toilet/ shower. The sitting room/ kitchen were adequate to cater for everyone and there was plenty of seating at the table. The apartment has great storage for ski boots/ coats etc with loads of hooks and shelves. There are 3 ski lockers for the apartment a floor below (the apartment is 3 smaller apartments that has been converted into one larger apartment). The apartment itself was good and clean, beds comfy. Needs a bit of a freshen up of decor but the bathrooms are all newish and the showers are great with plenty of hot water.It is a long walk from the Reception area and several floors down in the lift BUT 1 floor down (2 minutes) to the ski locker and you are straight out onto the slopes.The apartment block itself is a bit shabby and the soundproofing between apartments is not great so you can hear other people move furniture etc and there seems to be a lot of rubbish thrown off balconies. There were a lot of groups of young adults staying but we were not disturbed much by them - no more so than we would have been by a family with small children.For the apartment and the skiing experience we would definitely consider returning.
Val Thorens in de zomer is prachtig, maar er was wel veel gesloten. Het is duidelijk een wintersport oord. Het appartement ligt op een rustige plek. Het was ruim genoeg voor onze groep (7 personen).
The apartment is very well located at the bottom of the runs through VT and ski in ski out is easy. The views from the apartment are of the slopes and a chair lift pass's right past. The apartment is very typical of a Ski resort, lots of wood, a little old but very warm and the seating is comfortable. The wifi didn't work correctly and the TV signal is terrible. This did make the kids play cards so not a bad thing in the end as they had to talk to each other and the adults as well. The Dinner table is nice and big and can seat 14 so meal times was fine but the induction hob is not as it keeps going off during cooking and this is very frustrating when cooking dinner. The restaurant in the hotel is good to eat in or with takeaways and there is a supermarket and ski shop all in house. The beds are fine and the showers are ok. lots of warm water. There are 3 double bedrooms and one room with 4 bunk beds, one double room has a shower area but no view of the piste, then two more shower rooms and two toilets so after a hard days skiing its easy to get changed and cleaned up. The reception area and building is very busy on change over days so plan your visit to arrive as early as you can, park up and go skiing if needed. There are push trolleys behind the reception desk, left hand side, so track one down to make your life a bit easier getting to the apartment. Head towards the lifts on the right hand side of the reception, up the slope and about a 2 mins walk to the lift doors. Reception is at the top of the hotel, floor L, the apartment is on floor E. The apartment block can be noisy with younger people playing music above and getting in late, but at 10pm they must stop and If they don't the police come round and make them. We did come across this and the police were already on it. We are happy to book again and VT is a cracking ski resort. We didn't get a 3 valles pass as there is a lot of skiing in VT and down to Les Menuires but we did upgrade two days to go Meribel and area 43 Ski Park. VT is not tree lined due to the altitude so can feel a little bleak when at times. Over all, spot on and 4 out of 5.
