Well equipped apartment with wonderful voew and balcony on Alps!
Good rooms, not much to do in the hotel, the reception open hours are poor (bar Saturday) and so if you arrive between 12 and 5 midweek..... good luck
The comms from the hotel was not great, and a quick answer to one question would have helped (luggage store).
Also, the ski place next door is great and you get a discount - so just go. there

Excellent location.
We had 2 separate apartments for 1 week, staff were friendly and the apartments were good value for money. The location was perfect for the ski lifts. Also there is a restaurant located within the hotel, again it was pleasant and the food was good.
Very well located close to the slopes, the closets lift is about 200 metres away!
Typical French ski accommodation so not a luxury property but a very good example of its type. Clean and comfortable and, importantly for us, has post-checkout baggage storage available (unlike its closest neighbour) so a much better choice if you want to ski on your last day before heading back to the airport.
Liked the location, near the ski lift and the Forum and also ski hire shop.
Didnt like the property as open spaces are dated, rooms are dated and foisty and the ski lockers dont have any boot heaters working. The rooms smell of foistyness and drains.

adequate
The reception is pretty unappealing however the apartment is adequate, spacious, plenty of hot water, great view.
Its not premium in any way but the price reflects this. Could have been a little cleaner, black hairs on the bedding and the floor needed a better vacuuming. Bird mess all over the balcony.
Good location but a little tired if I'm honest.
Great location and views everything generally in good condition. Staff friendly and helpful. Shower/back cubicle leaked which soaked the bathroom floor.
Great location as just 50 meters or so to the closest lift (and a short red run down to the main gondola lift). There is a supermarket just across the road and a number of restaurants around. Clean apartments. Helpful staff and good prices. I would stay there again.
Very nice accommodation and very good location beside ski hire shop and 200 meters from the slopes. had to queue for an hour for our ski equipment and for 40 minutes for our lift passes but once on the slopes the snow was good, the runs were well groomed and the queues for lifts were very short.
Apartment larger than expected, very comfortable.
Fantastic view from balcony up into the skiing area.
Under 100m to the Grand Vans 8px chairlift, opposite the lift down to Flaine Forum.
Very helpful at reception on (early) arrival - able to leave luggage and get out skiing while room was prepared.
The property is near the slopes and the lifts down to the forum. The rooms are perfect for eating in with an adequate kitchen area.
The reception is pretty unavailable most of the time.
They donât do the bread run in the morning anymore. âčïž
This property was hugely convenient with easy access to the slopes, ski locker, funicular to travel between levels of the resort and ski hire facilities. It also had local access to a supermarket, cinema, bowling alley, bars and restaurants. The ESF ski school is also just below the property. It was an excellent choice for an active, sociable family that love to ski and love to participate in Apres- ski activities with friends and family.
