“Very close to the ski lift, rooms with gorgeous view. reasonable priced. Sauna & hamam available.”

- Breakfast The hotel orders breakfast for the guests. The croisants and bread are very good. Prices seem ok. - kitchen The mini kitchen provided was very basic.

- Breakfast The hotel orders breakfast for the guests. The croisants and bread are very good. Prices seem ok. - kitchen The mini kitchen provided was very basic. Good enough for 6 men to make some bacon and eggs. Don't expect too much. - Bathroom The Shower worked, water was warm. There was a flow of cold air, but yea that's ok. - Sleeping room The sheets were clean, the covers warm. The beds were big enough. Matresses were quite hard. Everything as expected. - Reception The reception is not always open. don't expect to be helped outside of these hours unless explicitely agreed. Not very practical (from 8 to 20). Because of this we missed to order bread once and did not achieve to visit the sauna/hamam. - amenities There is a sauna and a hamam (and a pool). But we failed to visit those.

“Fantastic ski location and comfortable self catering apartments.”

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment for the February half term.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment for the February half term. The other reviews I had read indicated this wouldn't be great, but for the price charged this is a really good quality apartment block which has a fantastic location adjacent to the main gondola to La Plagne and ski lifts into Les Arcs. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a fantastic ski location with all the required facilities. Below I have highlighted some key points; 1. The location is absolutely perfect and only 100 metres from the ski lift. 2. The ski hire shop is on the opposite side of the road. 3. The apartments are warm and comfortable - we chose a 3 bed for 5 of us and this was perfect. 4. The apartment had a hob, microwave and dishwasher - what else do you need? 5. Each apartment has a ski boot cupboard in the locker room which was well located. 6. As a self catering place be prepared to bring your own food etc or buy locally from the Sherpa supermarket. 7. Parking is free. I have read all of the other negative views and I can understand some of the points (e.g. the pool is small) but for the price charged and with the great location this is a great choice for a skiing holiday! Highly recommend a visit!

“Location, location, location!”

Just returned from a fantastic week's holiday. L'Arollaie is definitely above average for French apartments. We were four people in an apartment for eight and any more would have been a push, mainly because there were two bedrooms with small double beds, so we used the third room (bunks) and the sofa bed. Main criticism is just one toilet! With a bit of imagination they could have put another one in. Also lack of comfortable seating - just the sofa bed - in the living area. The central lounge was supposed to have an open fire, but it was never lit, and the area was a bit soul-less. We didn't get much noise from other apartments, but it was a quiet week. Would certainly recommend L'Arollaie, not least because of its location immediately opposite the fast-moving Plan Peisey 6 man chair and the Vanoise. Fabulous views from the apartment across the valley. Only a few minutes walk to hire equipment and to the patisserie for the morning bread run to loosen the legs, although you can order it at reception. Restaurants nearby are ok - the Solan (they do take-away) or the Vanoise Hotel - or ten minutes into Vallandry to Le Refuge Pizzeria. The local Sherpa in Vallandry is well stocked. The snow and weather were absolutely fantastic and no crowds or lift queues even at the renowned bottlenecks. They seem to be investing in new lifts in the whole Paradiski area - we didn't go on a button lift all week!! Mountain restaurants are improving, certainly on the La Plagne side. All in all, the location makes up for the downside.
