“Better than expected”

I only usually read the bad reviews so this place was a pleasant surprise. I found it to be smart, comfortable, clean and reasonably well equipped.

I only usually read the bad reviews so this place was a pleasant surprise. I found it to be smart, comfortable, clean and reasonably well equipped. It would have benefitted from a cutting/chopping board and a proper sharp knife. I always take my own knives because I like my sharp knives to be really sharp. You get one toilet roll so if you think you'll need more take one+. I've stayed in similar apartments in Val T which weren't as smart or clean and no loo rolls, these were only available in multipacks (9) from the store. As we took our own this time we didn't check out whether you could by singles from the Spar in La Daille. Sound insulation is ok but if you have riotous neighbours and you're not prepared to hammer on their door, take ear plugs, we did. Our neighbours were noisy once, someone else hammered on their door. We found reception to be polite, friendly and helpful. I found being polite and friendly to the reception team paid dividends. I accidentally broke the jug on our coffee maker, informed reception who then exchanged it, no quibble and didn't deduct anything from our deposit. All in all, for budget accommodation, I liked the place and would certainly consider returning. The bakery above the Spar was great, you can pre-order morning rolls/croissants from reception but we never used this service so can't comment.

“Ski tour ”

The apartments are OK but needs to be a bit bigger but are very clean and comfortable and ok if you are out on the slopes most days, the resort it self is very expensive but you have supermarkets near by if u need things

“"Russian hotel class" bare minimum”

Stayed 1 week off-season, fortunately there were not many people there. Rooms are "russian hotel class", a bit rough and unclean, allround condition and exterior cladding falling apart but will do as a bare minimum place to rest between skidays.

Stayed 1 week off-season, fortunately there were not many people there. Rooms are "russian hotel class", a bit rough and unclean, allround condition and exterior cladding falling apart but will do as a bare minimum place to rest between skidays. Walls are "paper" thin so when neighbor snores, fu**s or far*s you get to enjoy them too so remember to bring your earplugs if your not really in to them. No cleaning, no taking rubbish just one rubbish bag so bring your own, no bed clothing ready youll get to do them by your own and no boot drying, a bit mold in the toilet/shower, rusty shower. Shop and pizza close although expensive. La daille ski lift close walking distance so no need for busses. Ski room has the same lock to closet as your room. Ski lifts open a bit later to marmottes and toviere so no need to be at 8 on the lift otherwise youll have to ski for an hour just the village runs (down to la daille) which are hard for untrained legs.
