hotel, room, location and value is ok. not many facitiles at this hotel just a place to put your ski gear at and thats it, no other services at all. the rooms are ok and just for sleeping in. location wise you will need to catch the bus to get to into town or its a long walk and up a steep hill. there is a small local supermarket and restaurant and that is a 15 mins walk.

We are lucky to have rented a private apartment in this building, yet it does have its flaws. The entire building seems to have a smell, if it's not the smell of broken toilets in the reception then it's the smell of pipes and rotting wood in the ski lockers. The lifts are inconveniently places meaning that you have to walk with your skis through the building just to get to another lift and walk some more! Talking about walking, the ski in ski out. It is definitely ski in (provided the right ski lift is even open), and on a very nice track I must say, but ski out it is not. You go down an icy track for about 2 minutes until you reach the road and have to walk up a hill in your boots with your skis to the ski lift! You're tired before you've even skid a kilometer! It's ridiculous.

Ski in ski out, sure......

Not worth the money, very basic, bathroom from 70's, not very clean in general.
Kitchen very basic, though relatively new.
Service....well Italian... if you know what I mean.
Ready information about things non-existent, where to eg. take garbages. Garage/parking, well again seen much better. Won't go again.

From the 70's

An ugly decaying concrete block located a good 20min walk from centre. It's described as ski in and ski out. Ski out is a short piste down to the road and then a walk in ski boots etc up a steep hill  to the main lift. You need to be fit to stay here. 
Views to the mountains are beautiful and the ski back via a lovely gentle red run. 
Buses run to the centre infrequently and finish at 8.30. 
Our apartment was reasonably equipped including a sauna, some ridiculous colour changing shower, dishwasher and washing machine. Bedrooms lacked storage and there was an all pervading smell of drains  which others have alluded to. We had to open the balcony door to get rid of it when we had been out all day. 
Accommodation in the centre would be a better bet than this lack lustre area.  
We won't return here and I wouldn't recommend it. 

Poor location

DO NOT GO TO THIS NASTY PIT. It should be condemned and torn down to let nature take over again. We drove 11 hours to stay at this dump and chose to actually sleep in our car. The fact that they think they can charge you for end of stay cleaning (not done at the beginning as reported by many other reviews) and that you are supposed to pay between £120-£140 for electric even in summer really sets the scene.

You'll be met in a foyer that looks a little rustic, the staff give the appearance of efficiency rather than friendliness though I cannot see any evidence of the former in the building. You are taken through the lobby which is dark, dingy, paper peeling off the ceilings and to what we worked out as the only lift operating. Inside the lift the walls are peeling away. The hallways are very dark and grim. I had nursed the hope that they spent all the money on the apartments but I was very quickly shown this was not the case.

The apartment consisted of a kitchen, shower room, living area, and two bedrooms. The bedrooms are separated by broken hanging partitions. You will be shown how not to use more than one light at a time without everything hissing and buzzing at you. You can't have the boiler on with the lights nor the dishwasher. I don't expect a crash course in how to switch various rcds off in what I thought was a high quality suite. The provide towels apparently but they seem to be made of cut up sheets, how they would work as towels I have no idea. The apartment had black mould all over the place and when you open what i thought was a cupboard a metal plate falls open to reveal naked electric blocks and water pump. Just at child height, how thoughtful. 

There is no guide book, no guest information, the tv an ancient 14" crt had no channels at all, no dvd player or anything else to use. The carpets were torn, doors broken, wood cracked.

There is underground parking but you won't be offered it. Seemingly residents are forced into the visitor car park which is over full. You are given a one hour thirty minute check in slot. Miss it and you arent coming in. You are then given till 10am to get out so they can not bother to clean till 6pm for the next victims. Though by all accounts they will charge you for cleaning according to other reviews.

We looked around for 10 minutes, took photos and then left returning the keys. The back of our estate car turned out to be a lot cleaner, safer and pleasant than this joke of a place. Incidentally it sems to go by different names as well, we have seen residence coin au paradis and something else as well but the exterior shots are the same.

One final point. You may have seen the option for a "fitness centre" in high season. I have found a photo of this. It involves 3-4 cardio machines on the grass outside. Classy.

Save yourself a nightmare and book somewhere else.

But don't take my word for it, photos are attached.
