The hotel is a bit old, however my room was renovated, clean and equipped with everything you need for cooking and a filtered coffee machine. The location is the best you can find in V. Thorens with perfect ski in/out- you just step out of the locker room and you're on the slope. in addition, unlike other hotels in the higher parts of v. thorens, this hotel is located so that no matter where you end your skiing day, you can go back by skiing in the hotel. if you stay a bit higher in v.thorens and you missed your chair lift after 17:00, good luck walking all the way up to your hotel. the staff was very nice and helpful with information and tips. WiFi is very weak. a tip- if you book there, try and get a room on the (-) floors, as in -415, -619 and so on. These are the rooms with a better view to the slopes, and are away from the road where drunk people walk and shout at 3:00am. the hotel is not near the bars but that's an advantage, anyway they are about 10 min away and the malaysia club is just 5 minutes away. There's a very good sports shop at the hotel and in the surroundings another 5 stores. same goes for restaurants.
