Hôtel Marielle

We loved everything about this hotel. Ski in ski out. Ski locker included & very convenient to slopes/ski school etc. amazing views from our balcony & throughout hotel. We love that Marielle has maintained a French chalet vibe in the bedrooms. Hence they're not huge rooms, but do have a luxurious vibe. Fluffy robes & slippers, Nespresso coffee machine & Nuxe products in bathrooms. Quality bed linen & pillows. The most comfortable bed ever. Temperature in the room is just perfect. There is a complimentary coffee station in reception & complimentary still/sparkling water on tap. Also delicious homemade treats daily. We regularly filled out water bottles here & enjoyed the snacks, while admiring the views from our balcony. Complimentary hamman & sauna was much appreciated in the evening. An added bonus was the amazing views from our sauna onto the ski slopes. The dining room is beautifully laid out, with various food stations clearly segregated. Delicious fresh breads daily. Fresh fruit salads/ yoghurt fridge/choice of granolas/hot cooked breakfast etc. Always hot & replenished constantly. Dinner each evening was delicious & varied. From sushi/fresh seafood starters to roast beef/lasagna/fried fish/chicken /roast pork during our stay. Every course was delicious each evening. We especially loved the rich French soup each evening too. Whoever cooks the pastries is very talented. Great selection each evening . The staff. What can I say? From the minute we walked in the door, we were greeted with a lovely smile & friendly service. Everywhere we went was the same. All kind, attentive, hard working, & professional staff . A credit to the Marielle . Loved the very cool uniform too, the white beret & khaki jacket. All in all the best ski holiday accommodation we have ever experienced. We can't wait to return. Thank you Marielle .

Great location but a bad experience. Don’t stay here if you are serious about skiing - it’s very difficult to sleep in the rooms. The heating system is set to 21.5c or above and produces extremely dry conditions. A hotel technician said it’s crazy that the heat is so high but you can’t change it so just turn it off. But then it got very stuffy so we had to open the door. After an hour with the door open (and chilly -12c air coming in!) a strange extractor fan started up noisily so we had to shut the door. This continued each hour or so every night. The service in the restaurant was terrible - people had to ask multiple times for drinks before they arrived. Often we had finished our dinner before our wine came. The first wine we had was oxidised - a neighbouring table had the same trouble, with two bottles opened and rejected. The staff had no idea about wine or service. We left a day early because we needed some sleep. The hotel management had no sympathy and wouldn’t give us even a partial refund for the last night, despite the fact we were paying the full room rate. Very poor customer management. The last night we stayed in a charming hotel down the mountain for €80 - so much better!
