Les Allues Olympe 2 Gondola Hotels

"Impeccably clean room, staff were friendly and helpful and the views of the mountain were lovely. "

"Where do I start?! The Chalet is perfect for 8 adults - plenty of space, 4 bathrooms, a large kitchen that was well appointed for the evenings we decided to cook in, and a nice cozy basement living/family room with comfy couches for lounging. There is a dedicated ski room with boot dryers and ski racks with tile floor so you can come in and out from your days on the slopes without making a mess! The beds were comfortable, and the washer & dryer made freshening up towels and clothes a breeze. The chalet is situated further from La Chaudanne (the main base area in Meribel) but is a 5-7 minute walk in ski boots (definitely uphill, but a good warmup to your ski day!) to a free shuttle (Line A) that runs every 15 minutes in the mornings & evenings and every 30 minutes midday and later at night. This made getting to the base area so easy every day.The hosts provide plenty of resort maps, which were so helpful in planning our days. Les 3 Valleés is obviously massive, but traversing the mountain takes quite a bit of planning if you've never been!Jean Noël personally greeted us at the Chalet upon our arrival, and walked us through the home and made himself available if we needed anything during our week's stay. You're a 5-minute walk to the SPAR grocery store, which has everything you'll need for your stay (we needed to buy handsoap, toilet paper/paper towels, etc) and is not overly expensive.Cannot say enough great things about this property and would love to return!!"

"This hotel is awful and disgusting; the smell of mold and dust instantly chokes you as you enter. The bed was hard, the pillows were awful, and the blanket was very thin, making the winter stay extremely cold. The bathroom is designed in such a way that even with a heater, the shower remains freezing cold. The room had a full kitchen, but not a single piece of cutlery or utensils, and our request to be provided with any kind of dish had been denied, as apparently we were not allowed to use the kitchen!?. Every roadside motel has at least a coffee maker, and this was a $300 per night chalet!! The breakfast was included, but it was so disgusting and the same everyday that we had to get breakfast elsewhere. The pool is closed during the winter, and the spa costs 20 euros to visit. Be aware that stairs lead to many rooms. Thankfully, a kind worker was willing to help us with carrying the luggage. The staff are all hard working and kind, but it did not help to make this hotel meet any decent standards. The pictures are deceiving, as this hotel is a complete ripoff for the money."
