Reviews
Good things first:
- The Diable lift is very close, and you can get to the ski area from there fairly easily.
- Check-In was without problems, and we got our room really fast.
But that's it... Negatives:
- Dirty rooms, for example, the baseboards looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in months.
- Completely worn-out furniture, chairs about to fall apart, a single closet in the entire apartment, and a shower faucet so loose that water was leaking into the walls.
- There were three of us in a 6-person apartment, which barely fit. There couldn't have been more people or else you would have gone nuts.
- Broken shutters, and that in a ground-floor room... Parking lot right in front of the window, so we basically always had the curtains closed.
- Reception hours? No idea, maybe you'll meet someone.
- Not even an oven... Seriously, I stayed in train stations that had more comfort.
So to everyone, especially people traveling with E&P: STAY AWAY!
- The location is great with access to the piste, restaurants and shops in a few minutes.
- The swimming pool is nice but the temperature varies widely between days, with the majority being too cold. The hammam and sauna (10€/30 min each) work well. There's a small laundry and a small gym.
- The apartments are clean and functional. However the big drawback is the dire need of more storage space. In our 2 rooms apartment, parents were sleeping in the living room. The single shelf is used to store the duvets. We had to use our duffel bag and shopping bags on the floor to store our stuff.
