Book Orelle hotels

Great location, staff and view.

Had an amazing stay at the altapura, read a few reviews a few days before we went and were worried, but it was great. Main complaints were about how hot the rooms were, which were understandable, but opening the window solved that. The other critique we read was about the restaurants and choice of food for half board. Breakfast was buffet and had a great selection. Dinner you get 65 euros contribution each evening towards food, which you can choose from the menu of the 3 different restaurants they have. European, Japanese and a cheese place. The food is all cooked fresh and to a great standard. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the hotel is in my opnion in the perfect location, ski in skin out, not far from several ski lifts, but not in thr centre of town so you don't get all the noise and footfall. Beds were really comfy, overall had a great experience and will be back next year!

Stayed at Hotel Marielle for three nights for a Spring snowboarding trip with my teenage son. Location is excellent right on the snow front with ski in ski put directly to the main lifts in Val Thorens. Reception, restaurant and bar staff were friendly professional, knowledgable and most importantly helpful and really made the stay a real pleasure. Room was spacious and clean and had a great view of the snow front. The terrace bar below does play music late afternoon till about 6 or 7 which adds to the buzz of the snow front location but if you want a quiet room better to ask for one at the back. Good selection of food options for breakfast and dinner (we did half board). Service gets a bit overwhelmed at peak pre ski school time 8.15 to 8.45am (our visit was in school holidays) with a few items running out on the buffet but they are quickly replaced if you ask. A second coffee machine might help for peak times! Decor is lovely - has a bit of a Parisian Boutique hotel feel to it. Huge spa with steam room and massive Sauna with a window onto the snow front. Although my son is a teenager now I thought the hotel was well set up for smaller children with lots staying, the ESF ski school straight out front and a decent games room. Val Thorens wa s great for Spring skiing lent to of snow relative to resorts further down the valley and the multitude of lifts meant no big queues. Would definitely stay here again.

I'm not sure how this place has so many 10/10 reviews.Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly.The Good:Location to the gondola!!!!!Location to the Hob restaurant which was great.The house was very rustic and quaint. Huge fridge and stove, great for larger groups.Super comfy beds and lots of them.Plenty of cooking pots and dishes.Plenty of cleaning supplies to clean up.The bad:The address was spelled wrong in a text making it very difficult to locate.TV was non functional, BBQ as Canadians know it was non existent. ( Maybe he meant the indoor grill thing). No towels were supplied, which would have been fine if mentioned.Hand soap was almost empty, as well as salt shakers, no soap for the dishwasher, no extra garbage bags, no containers for recycling, and the shower soap was empty as well. A half roll of toilet paper in each W/C was supplied.The town of Orelle is a quaint little town but groceries have to bought in the next town over. The ugly:Although they were cute, there is mice running around the kitchen that come in through the drain pipe under the bathroom sink. Some might be ok with that, some not.My sons friend got bit by bedbugs. He was the only one, which was weird because it was my son that found one in his bed. And yes we were sure what it was. It exploded blood when he squished it. Only saw one though, so it may not be an infestation. We all had a hard time getting sleep because we were imagining bugs crawling on us. We left a day early.

Fantastic location to lifts for the price

Got sold a package of spa and access to thermal spa . None of it was given . When I asked I was literally told no . Paid too much without wat I was supposed to have .
