This is such a great little alpine hotel, located in amongst everything but super peaceful. The staff were all amazing and couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. Absolutely recommend.

Great placement in the city, friendly staff mostly, quite old and clearly has have its peak. However great stay and would come back
Vi bodde i ett rum på första våningen, markplan. Rummet var trångt med skild toalett och dusch, toalettutrymmet var väldigt trångt. Det är gammalt ”stuk” men allt är funktionellt och det var rent och fräscht. Väldigt trevlig personal. Frukosten var ok.
Skønt lille hotel, fremragende betjening og service og fantastisk beliggenhed

Personalen var väldigt trevliga, serviceminded och hjälpsamma. Ett utmärkt litet hotell med gångavstånd till liftarna. Rummet var dock ganska slitet i stort behov av renovering. Resten av hotellet i fint skick.
excellent séjour dans un hotel sans prétention mais confortable et très bien placé.

Chambre et sanitaire minuscules (pour une nuit ça passe mais pas plus). 115 euros sans le petit déjeuner ce n'est pas justifié. Le petit déjeuner annoncé à 10 euros (approximativement) est à 14 euros. On peut avoir beaucoup mieux pour 146 euros (taxes comprises).
Pas de restauration le soir. Le restaurant "les pivotes" fonctionne que pour le petit déjeuner le matin.
Sinon emplacement et personnel Ok
Chambre très petite,petit déjeuner annoncé à 10 euros payé 14 euros et pas de restauration le soir, pourtant annoncé dans le site.Accueuil sympathique malgré ses déconvenues
A little disappointed as I had booked a hotel with a restaurant ( helpful when travelling alone with kids) and it was closed for the end of season. The room was also rather basic and smelled of damp. On the positive side, the staff were helpful and the breakfast good. I visit Auron a lot but will stay elsewhere next time.
Personnel très sympa et restaurant très bien.par contre chambre non conforme au site.toute petite et sdb vétuste sentant l'humidité. Toute petite fenêtre.
Bra, vänlig och serviceminded personal. God mat i restaurang och frukost. Bra läge och gångavstånd till andra restauranger, skidanläggning mm.
Tyvär sammanföll vår 3 dagars skidsemester 4 - 6 mars, 2018, med övriga "Frankrikes 'vintersportvecka'"! så det var mycket folk överallt......!
Très bel hôtel, confortable, calme, bien situé. Le personnel est aimable. La chambre était agréable, insonorisée et la literie impeccable. La sdb était convenable, mais toutefois avec quelques marques de moisissures sur un mur. Petit déjeuner en supplément mais qui vaut le coup, bien fournit. Le restaurant de l’hôtel vaut le détour également, très bonne fondue au fromage et les serveurs sont dévoués et sympathiques. L'hôtel est à 5 minutes à pied du téléphérique du Riou.

Tvådagars skidresa till Auron från Nice
Trevlig atmosfär i ett perfekt läge för att komma med buss och ta sig till backarna. Restaurangen helt ok med bra service och rimliga priser. Rummen och sängar lite tveksamma och duschrum och wc mer att önska sig.
