Pretty good - quiet due to end of season.
Quiet base for some local hiking. Room was pretty decent though layout of the building was confusing and door locks even more so. Well equipped though outside of the building could do with some paint. Views from rooms are pretty limited - just some tree covered hillsides Very quiet - mainly due to end of season. Good underground parking Provided everything I needed - and would probably stay there again but wouldn't go out of my way. Fairly good value for money

Great location, this is a very quiet area in the valley. Excellent view of the river and cattle pasture. The main thing that I didn’t like was the welcome bag was mainly a green scratchpad and cleaning products. It was a little stressful because there was the threat of losing a huge deposit if it wasn’t cleaned well enough. For the price of the room, I would expect to be greeted with a green scratch pad and told that it better be clean or else!

We decided to take a last moment & quick family trip over the weekend by finding a great deal on hotels.com. The establishment was outstanding with a very gracious staff and more than accommodating amenities located in a quaint and gorgeous little valley village above Chamonix. They upgraded our room & charged us even less than the advertised rate. Normally we try to discover new places with each trip, but we can't find a reason not to return!

We took a family room for 7 nights. The room was spacious and well equipped. The hotel is very nice and has private and indoor parking for each room. A nice stream flows in front of the hotel. The hotel is near thr cable car and has a basic bakery, swimming pool, spa, games (indoor and outdoor) for children. The reception only works until 20:00 but we get along if necessary. The town itself is a 20-minute drive from Chamonix, but an 8-minute drive from the Swiss border, which is a huge plus. There is also a train station next to the hotel. There are lots of nature trails in the area. The town (Vallorcine) is quite sleepy and quiet. There is no supermarket or stores. Each room is equipped with few capsules for dishwashers, two garbage bags and small pieces of dish soap and bath, which is for the entire stay (not enough for 7 nights stay and the guest has to purchase an extra on their own expense). There is no cleaning of the room during the stay and there is no change of towels / sheets. Guests are required to clean the kitchen themselves at the end of the stay or otherwise will be charged a fee of EUR 100.There is a laundry room near the reception for a fee of EUR 5 for the washing machine or dryer. At the end of the stay we were required to pay EUR 42 (!!!) for a city tax (EUR 3 per adult per night). All in all, a worthy value for money. Quiet and pastoral location. Far from the bustle of Chamonix but close enough (by car) to all attractions. We will return again.

Wonderful family getaway
We loved the hotel. It was perfect for our family, two bedrooms, lovely deck, beautiful views of the mountains. My children loved the pool and the mini golf and ping pong. We also loved the restaurant Le Comptoir across the street and the easy access to the cable car to go up the mountain for a lovely walk and fantastic views. Great stay!

Well appointed self catering accomodation suitable for families of all sizes. Very convenient bakery downstairs and a couple of restaurants nearby. Great to have use of the swimming pool and sauna and a lovely play/ games room for children and teens. My only complaint are the pillows- too bulky and hard!

Wish I knew, far away and sleepy
This location is on the FAR end of the valley, last resort on the Cham Ski Pass. You will need to drive or take the train to get into Cham. The photo also makes it look WAY nicer than it is. Sleepy town with very few restaurant options.

Picturesque village close to ski lift
Comfy beds. Good quality furnishings and fittings. Basement car park for car and ski gear. No bar but cafe selling coffee biscuits cakes open until 7pm. 5 restaurants in village. Ski lift leads to domaine de balme ski area which is good for beginner to intermediate level. Ski hire shop within hotel (skimium) and another one right next to ski lift.

A fun holiday in a lovely residence.
We were a group of 4 skiing. Apart from the very bad weather which closed all means of getting to the hotel, we had a great time. We were 5 minutes from a ski lift which took us to a large array of slopes. 10 minutes from the next town and on our door step were 4 restaurants and a couple of bars. The residence was clean, well equipped and the staff were VERY accommodating. We were often asking questions about the area and the staff excellent in providing assistance. The hotel pool and sauna were lovely, although they did close at 8pm. Similarly the shop was nice but again had limited opening hours. I think we would all happily stay there again, although the weather did pose a bit of a challenge in accessing Vallorcine at first. However this was apparently the worst weathe rfor 30-40 years so its ot something you can plan for.

Stranded and alone!
I have stayed at this hotel on two previous occasions and been very happy. However, this experience was simply unacceptable and I question if I will ever stay again. Firstly, we were told on arrival that although we had booked two nights that we would have to change rooms after one night. We were told that this could be any time after 11am and as the majority of the party was skiing that hotel staff would assist in moving rooms with regard to suitcases and food etc of 5 guests. My wife stayed in waiting all day for a move that actually never occurred until late afternoon which meant she missed the skiing day and nobody from the hotel was available to help with the room relocation. In the 2nd room the television did not work and even though my wife asked was never rectified! Sadly, due to location the worst was still to occur. The lifts were closed at Vallorcine and the road to the other local areas was shut. I was told by reception that this would not be a problem as the tunnel of the trainline is used to allow cars to pass. However, we did manage to ski at Grand Montet but the road and the tunnel were closed all evening meaning we could not get back to the hotel. As previously explained my wife had waited in to change rooms which meant that myself and 3 adult children were separated from my wife and had immense stress as to what we could do. The hotel was not as helpful as we would have wished for. Upon return the next day at midday the manager wanted us to check out.Awful!

Not value for money
The snow was fantastic. The ***** hotel was well below the standard of **** ski hotels we have stayed at over the years, in my opinion I would say the worse. My reasons are, we knew we had to supply everything but did not expect to supply toilet paper, the super market next door was a joke when it was open. Breakfast in the hotel café was 15 euros per head (European) ham, cheese boiled egg etc. No bar, no alcohol, no restaurant. I could go on and on. We had to vacate our room before 10am and only after they inspected the condition we left it in. It was cleaner than when we arrived. Not value for money. If you consider this hotel to save money think again, the cost of food and daily essentials is high if you can find them. The old saying, Cheap is Dear.

Absolutely not a 5 star place to stay.
Having seen that this was described as 5 star on Expedia we had high expectations. It has a pool and spa facilities which we did not use. It has no restaurants, no food shop but a tiny tea room that is meant to sell Pizza and Lasagne but had none.... You have to clean the room yourself and put your bedding in the bath or get fined 150 Euros. Bedding and pillows were uncomfortable / cheap. Never again !

Nice stay in the mountains convenient for touring
We chose this resort as it was nicely located between the Swiss and French sides of the Rhone Valley. The staff was very accomodating and helpful, from the front office, to the restaurant, and the management. They had excellent suggestions on things to do and places to eat, and went out of their way to make us happy, even calling some thermal spas for us to check on open times (as it was off season). The breakfasts were yummy, the pool area was well maintained and ideal for children, and the spa was nice too. Lovely people and beautiful scenery.

Great hotel!
Great place to stay - clean and comfortable. About a 30min train away from Chamonix but the hotel give each guest a free pass for the trains. Restaurants in Vallorcine are good too for some more traditional French food. Would definitely go back!

Great place to stay!
We loved this hotel. We had an okay trip to the French Alps to ski (very few lifts were open, roads were bad), and this hotel was the highlight of the trip. The apartments were spacious, warm, great selection of free on-demand movies, and had a bath tub. The staff were fantastic - the young woman at the desk gave us a tour from the parking garage through the pool, lobby, and to our room and showed us what we needed to know about our room (like the movies). Internet worked well. You get a free train pass for the area with your stay; we cut one day off from skiing and just rode the train stopping in Chamonix and other villages. The train station is about a 1-2 minute walk from the hotel (3-4 minutes if you're wearing ski boots), and the gondola is about another minute past the train station. This is a very convenient place to stay if you're taking the train. Beware, however, if you drive, like we did, part of the road can get closed off to vehicles without chains (it didn't happen, but we did have some nervous driving moments on slippery switchbacks getting there). We would definitely stay there if we go back to that area, but I'd have a plan of where to park near the train station in Chamonix or Les Houches in case the road to Vallorcine is too bad.
