Absolutely loved it!

Loved it! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food (both breakfast and dinner) were so delicious with a lot of options, the rooms are simple but we didnt need much - we went for a 5 day skiing trip and wanted an affordable place yet close to the Olympe gondola, leading right into Meribel. The hotel is about 7min walk to the gondola, therefore perfect! Brides Les Bain does not have a lot of going out/restaurant options, so some nights we stayed at Athena for dinner… great choice, cause we loved it! We are vegetarians, and the hotel accommodated so well to that. They even prepared an off-the-menu meal for us! Breakfast is excellent, hotel facilities are very clean, staff is extremely helpful and friendly… I highly recommend!

Pas terrible du tout...

Hotel propose mais les indications pour trouver ma chambre (arrivée après 21h30) étaient erronées et j'ai galéré pour trouver ma chambre non indiquée depuis la réception. Parking plein. Chambre très bruyante en sous sol à proximité du torrent. Désolée cela ne correspondait pas à mes besoins étant en déplacement professionnel... réception ouverte à partir de 8h30 et j'ai quitté l'établissement à 7h30... donc je n'ai pas pu faire de retours.

Ski stay in Brides Les Bains

Had a nice stay at the Hotel Athena. Nothing fancy but functional. Not very accessible to main mountain at Val Thorens but they have a gondola very close in town that takes you to Meribel, one of the mountains. From there, you can access the 3 Valleys.

Short ski break

The hotel is an excellent 3 star. Relatively basic but very clean and everyone extremely friendly. The small spa is wonderful after a day on the slopes. There's a bus that takes you up to the gondola and back every day which saved us having to hire lockers. We were half board and my only issue was there was no choice for dinner (although they were very accommodating toward my 7 year old daughter). Having said that the quality was excellent.
