La Thuile Hotels

All personnel was very kind and the breakfast was outstanding. The manager was inreasonable on a request to move us to a more quiet room after a delivery truck woke us up after the first night at 7am. The hotel was far from full so it was possible for her to change our room. The bed in our room was very hard.

The sound of the river could be heard if a window was opened a little, which was nice. The rooms were very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were disappointed by the lack of balcony in our room. We had a view of a stone wall from a very low window. There was no bath, only shower, which was a little cold. The spa was very minimal and the furniture uncomfortable, and cost 12 euros for the use of the pool. The breakfasts were great, but we were met with stares and comments from other guests who seemed unused to people of other ethnicities (no fault of the hotel, of course). Once, we were locked out of our room.

Getting to the hotel was an adventure by snow cat, amazing position, wonderful skiing straight from the door, nice staff, very unspoilt area and no people, food was good. Their English was poor, Stephano was nice but seemed to think we would know where to meet the snow cat, how to take our skis back to the shop and meet them at the given area etc. We did not feel it was right to be charged for our coffee after dinner and for the snooker, it was an expensive holiday and it left a bad taste in the mouth even though we had a lovely time.

Really fantastic location for skiers!!!! Everything just downstairs! The Residence and Hotel were very close to the chairlifts and cable car. The supermarket and some shops were just downstairs. Excellent slope for beginners and playground just downstairs! And everything looks much better than block of flats that you can see in France, although a little bit old inside. It is definitely wonderful place for family with children, esp. if children want to ski. The noise in the early morning due to the grooming equipment being used on the trails could be annoying - of course not for skiers;). During our stay there was no restaurant open but there were some in the town 10 min. walk. Swimming pool and fitness center were a little bit small and old. ** or *** would be enough.

The location was excellent. Right at the lifts. With a very nice coffee corner within reach. The hotel is by far not 4 stars, I would say 2 stars max.

Proximity to the ski lifts and centre of town

Peaceful spot close to mountains, easily accesible by road. A charming hotel with good sized rooms and a good sauna, hamam. Drinks were good next to an open fire and the restaurant offered a good value menu which was scrumptious.
