Residence Studio Sakura

Location is amazing. Central Val D’isere near everything you could need. Spa supermarket opposite, bars and restaurants all around, 5 mins walk (if that) to snow front (see photo) for chair lifts and ski passes, ski hire and bus stops / parking. It has it all. Also very convenient for saving money on resort by self catering. We made breakfasts, packed lunches and dinners in the room. There is a 2 ring electric hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, pans, utensils / crockery and fridge with small freezer. There is a boot room downstairs.

For us nothing, we really enjoyed our stay.

Residence Studio Sakura is very centrally located. It is close to the bus station which was handy for airport transfers, there is a well stocked supermarket just across the street, and it is a few minutes walk to the Olympique and Solaise gondolas which give access to the entire ski area. There are numerous restaurants and bars nearby. Chantal, the host, was very welcoming and was always available for any issues. The studio itself was exceptionally clean and was more than adequately equipped for my needs. There was also plenty of hot water and good wifi.

I'm not used to sleeping in a studio and, as a light sleeper, I needed ear plugs so as not to be disturbed by the noise of the fridge and the hot water tank. Luckily, I always travel with ear plugs. However, the residence and the location generally were very quiet and peaceful. There is a ski locker in the building, but there is no way of drying your boots. I removed by liners each night and put them on the radiator. Next time, I might buy a portable boot dryer.

Great Location. I self catered so didn't have breakfast

Noise across the alleyway. Probably due to being there over Easter weekend

Location, cleanliness, ease of everything
