Hôtel les Grangettes

Amazing location, you’re literally yards away from the main gondolas - so central! The hotel is humble, clean and has everything you need for a good night sleep. Also, the service is fantastic, Katie and the team can’t do enough for you. Overall, highly recommended, just book it!

Can’t rate this little gem highly enough! Pros: - Staff are super friendly, polite and helpful. - Food is way better than 2 star! Breakfast is ok with plenty of choice. Afternoon tea is fab! Sweet and savoury every day (including soup, king prawns, pizza, flap jacks, cookies etc - all homemade. Evening meal starts with an amuse bouche, followed by 3 courses. The veggie options were amazing. Glass of Prosecco given at the start of the meal then free, palatable wine afterwards. New Year’s Eve meal was superb and included a bottle of Prosecco. - Location is great. A very short walk to the lifts. Near lots of hire shops, bars and restaurants. Village put on lots of entertainment on New Year’s Eve (fireworks, ski school torch lit procession, free vin chaud, great outdoor live DJ. - The bar next door (Jacks) is owned by same people. Reasonable happy hour between 4-5pm. Very small discount for Les Grangettes customers. Great live music from 5-8ish (later on a Wednesday when chalet staff have their night off). We had room 29 situated at the back of the hotel and never had an issue with noise coming from the bar. Although after the live band, the music wasn’t very loud anyway. - I had an issue with a plug in our room. Told staff at breakfast. By the time we got back from skiing that day, it had been changed with a little note letting us know. - Boot room kept boots dry and warm every day. Ski locker room in an adjacent room. - Good showers with no shortage of hot water. Cons: - Rooms are very basic and quite small but clean (rooms are tidied daily). But what do you expect from a 2 star property?! - The communal areas are a little soulless, especially the tables at the front of the hotel. - Breakfast could be improved with some fresh bread rolls (rather than just toasting bread) and tomatoes/cucumber etc. - Toaster wasn’t great. - Having to remember 3 lots of codes for the front door, boot room and ski locker was a bit of a pain. Why not have the same code for all of them? All in all, a great value option in a very central location. We travelled with Inghams - the less said about them the better! Would definitely return but would probably book directly with the property.

After reading some of the reviews we were a little worried about what we may find, however, need not have worried....yes I agree the hotel is looking a little tired but don't be put off by that. Brighter colours and a bit of paint wouldn't go a miss and a bit of new carpet....however let's look at what you need for a ski holiday, a good bed, friendly and helpful staff, plus good food - they are all there..the food includes breakfast, afternoon tea, canopies, dinner plus wine which are all included in the price, and in our opinion it's tasty and plentiful. If you don't want to eat in you get a €20 pp credit for jacks which is part of the hotel and has more food options...Then you have endless hot water for baths n showers plus accessibility to slopes... basically what more do you need as basically a hotel is a place to sleep between ski days. Our room was not above Jack's Bar so was quiet, those with rooms above the bar said it was a bit loud up to 10pm-ish, but that was only on one side of the hotel....so in all, would we stay again, yes, definitely value for money

Not going to lie but i was worried... a last minute holiday but I think some have been really harsh on this hotel. Yes it's basic, the carpets and some room furniture a little tired BUT for skiing it's exactly what you want (and i can be real hotel snob!). I travelled with my 13 yr old daughter and it was a great holiday. Comfy beds, warm room, clean bathroom, made up daily and stacks of hot water for a good soak after the slopes. We were in room 4 so away from Jack's but others staying above the bar said it was fine.... the staff are great, the food good, breakfast, afternoon tea a welcome treat, prosecco and canapes and 3 course meal, my daughter coped with even her limited taste, breakfast good. It is what you make of it, we made lots of friends over breakfast and dinner and we all had a great time socialising after dinner both adults and kids.... location for the ski lifts is great, the public pool for a swim opposite and I wouldn't hesitate in going back..... it would be nice though if gradually the rooms and landing carpets could be revamped a little but it's not a biggy and great value for money.......
