Hotel Kandahar

Classified as a 3 star hotel. This is o good choice in that class. You are made to feel welcome from arrival to departure. Of course as any thing in the French alps it cost a bit. Nice clean rooms, that are well taken care of care of during the week. Location good, only 5 min walk to the slopes. Breakfast is basic, to be in France it is quite good. Staff friendly and give good service

I’ll begin with the positives. 1. Lorna: if Carlsberg’s did reps, Lorna would be an ice cold pint on a hot day. (You can almost imagine how the first sip tastes). Enough with the beer metaphor's, she is very well connected & efficient with any desires you may have. Meeting Archie made our trip. 2. The cleaner: honestly, we gave this cleaner a few challenges. She was put through her paces to say the least but my god, she done well. Very proud. I think Kim Woodburn maybe doing a season in Val. 3. Location, location, location - love it or list it. Kirsty & Phill would list this. 4. The boot room: if you thought Lorna was special, wait until you visit the boot room. The negatives: 1. The lift smells like poo 24/7. 2. Breakfast: at breakfast they provide activities. Spoiler alert: it’s a scavenger hunt to find cutlery with no clues. BYOC (bring your own cutlery) this hotel runs this policy but ironically you need a straw to eat their scrambled eggs. We did ask for the recipe, apparently it’s 1 egg to 1 cup of sick. 3. Restaurant: if you’re looking for a delicious meal after a hard day skiing, do not use this restaurant in the hotel. To conclude, I would definitely return, albeit, a bedroom on the ground floor to avoid the lift would be desired.

Great hotel with super friendly staff. Rooms are high spec for 4 star and nice little balcony. Really good lounge are Al downstairs if you fancy a more relaxed apres ski. Breakfast is self service but good selection and amazing patisseries. Central location on the main high street and short walk to ski lifts. Would stay again
