This is like a dorm at ski camp. Everyone checks in on Saturday hauling gear and food for the week. It really reminded me of move in day at the college dorm. BTW, the traffic is terrible Saturday afternoon/evening, the other residences must have the same Saturday to Saturday policy. You cannot check in before 4PM so do not go... more

Visited Brides les Bains with skiweekends.com and although I enjoyed the long weekend (leaving London friday tea time returning to London early Tuesday morning), I can't say I will do this again. Yes it is a cheap way to get to the slopes, but I can't say its worth it for a weekend, although for a week it may be.We... more

We've just been to Residence Cybele in Brides-les-Bains with Directski.com. We did see some reviews of it before we went, but here are our thoughts. The whole booking process was fine, transfers well organised and reps seemed efficient, although we had limited dealings with them really. They managed to get a lost pair of skis from Geneva airport to us... more

My husband and I booked this trip with Directski.com after seeing it advertised as Meribel. It was well priced but it is not in Meribel. Directski.com weren't very good and I wouldn’t recommend them but the residence itself was okay. It is just a large block of studio flats with a part-time reception. Its adequate if you are looking for... more

We spent 2 weeks (22.12 - 05.01.08) on this residence. Swimming pool , sauna, restaurant and bar not working. Light on the lobby is turn of about 7 pm and people sitting in the dark with laptops (WIFI cost 7 EUR per day). Our ski and snowboards was stolen from the underground hotel parking from the car. Somebody snowboards and... more

My friend and myself, both 18 and incredibly cash-strapped, spent a week here in Januray 2007. We found it to be a hotel of contrasts. The staff are very slow, yet amiable. The rooms are shoddy, yet contain everything you need. The pool is small, yet....exists! The gondola to the slopes is a 10 minute walk away, but not busy... more

We are just back from Brides Les Bains(6th jan 2007) and overall it was a good holiday.We payed £260 each (2 adults,2bairns) so our expectations were fairly low.Transfer fromGeneva took about two hours as we were the first drop of point at the foot of the mountains,last drop is over an hour later.Arriving at lunch time after an early start... more

I stayed at the Residence Cybele in Brides-Les-Bains from 25th March - 2nd April 2006. The Residence Cybele is a very basic and cheap hotel (we payed around 240 pounds for flights accomodation and transfers). Upon arrival our first impressions were mixed. Basicly, you will soon become aware that the hotel caters for school parties and groups of children, and... more

This is a fantastic place to stay if you want a cheap way of accessing the Three Valleys ski area. If you bear in mind that this accommodation is a 30 minute gondola ride to the bottom of the slopes in Meribel, that the resort of Brides Les Bains is very small and quiet, and that the residence is fairly... more
