Good traditional French and local cuisine in a simple but cosy atmosphere. The menu is quite varied : you can have a salad but also cheese, meat or fish. I really liked the Cesar Salad and the canard that I tasted from my husband. There is a menu for kids.

Good and simple

Very convenient location, just in front of he ski lift.
Decor and bathroom a bit dated but everything clean and functional.
Good service.
Breakfast is simple but with good quality products and plenty enough.
Restaurant offers a wide menu, but freshly made with good products and for a very reasonnable price.
Perfect for the short stay we made, skiing during the day.


Perfect for a ski WE

We have just returned for a short last minute ski break. Hotel was excellent for a 2 star hotel.  Close to the lift. Staff were all very friendly and spoke good English which was great for us.  We will definitely return.  

great little hotel close to ski slopes

We stayed at the hotel in early March 22, and we are looking  forward to returning. The refreshed gondola to the slopes was quick to access and rarely did we have to wait to get on. The food at the hotel was fantastic and wholesome. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful given my poor ability at speaking French.

Fantastic hotel, great location

This restaurant serves the hotel mainly but we stayed at a chalet in Vercland and went here to eat.  It is a lovely family run restaurant with a great selection of traditional raclette, tartiflette, fondue and steaks. All of the food was just delicious, served by a  very friendly lady who spoke English.  We liked it so much we went back another evening and worked our way through more dishes, all excellent.  Four adults, four teenagers, everyone very happy.

La Boule de Neige - wonderful family restaurant

Nice hotel although basic. Lovely family running it, can’t do enough to help you. I’m a bit of a foodie but the fondu was great and also some of the other meals. Almost adjacent to the (very) old bubble up to 1600 where you can hire all you need. Was there with my adult daughter and would return for a short ski break. 
Thank you to all the family!!

Loved it!

Good location, close to the bubble ski-lift, nice small village rural character.
For a 2 star hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by the overall quality. The staff are great, encouraged us to persevere with our French (instead of replying to us in English, which is sadly becoming the norm even in France). It's truly family run and we felt like welcome guests rather than 'clients', nice peaceful ambience. Bedroom was clean, very comfortable bed, nice view from the balcony towards Samoens (which is a 25 minute walk away) and mountains . Nice shower.
The boot room was adequate and there is a small gym, games room and hot tub which are fine.
The restaurant was really the centre of the Hotel, retaining many original 1970's features which we loved (please don't modernise it!). A lounge area would be nice but it's difficult to see how it could fit in. Breakfast was typical 'continental' style with home made croissants etc. Evening meals were a delight, great traditional Savoyarde dishes- lots of meat and cheese - and four courses always on offer. Also, although the dinner is a set menu, if you let the chef know in advance then he may offer an alternative if, for example, you aren't keen on fondue.
The only downside of the holiday was that we mistakenly went during the French School's half term so the Grand Massif was incredibly busy, so do check this before you book.

Authentic Savoyarde hotel

Always go to this place every year . It’s still the best fondue  savoyarde in Samoens. You can definitely go with children as there is a lot of room and a really good kids menus .Staff is charming and efficient. A real gem

Best fondue in the area

We booked this hotel for one night before a week in a chalet in Samoens
The welcome was excellent as were all the staff during our stay . The room was in the main house and was warm and quiet 

We had dinner and breakfast and both were excellent and very good value. I would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the area

A Nice welcome

My husband and daughter have just returned from an incredible weeks stay in this hotel as guests of Crystal.  They have both skied a lot and stayed at both chalets and hotels around Europe and this would rate as one of their favourites.  Their over riding comment was that it is worth more the the 2* rating and it boasts a jacuzzi and sauna (extra charge).  The room was basic but was  good size, very warm and spotlessly clean.  It was opposite a telecabine that opened up into the Samoens ski area. The food was fantastic and real  care was taken in the vegetarian food that was prepared for my daughter.  She did not eat pasta once all week (this is usually the vegetarian offer that she is given).  The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that they had a fabulous stay.  The New Years Eve gala dinner was amazing and a real experience. The hotel is in a little village near Samoens and apart from the hotel and a bar there is little else near the hotel (so no shops selling skiwear or supermarket for snacks). Unfortunately for my daughter they were the only English people staying in the hotel, however, all the other guests in the hotel were friendly but there were no other young people for my daughter to hang out with in the evening. Both would return again and would recommend it.
