If you are looking for cheap and basic then this place is fine. However, only go there if it's a really cheap deal and bear in mind that it is laughable that this place has been given three stars. It is essentially a hostel. There are bunk and pull-out beds. You will get clean sheets, but the blankets were filthy... more

Plus side:Cheap price no fuss or frills. Excellent value for money if you are not fussy. Bunk beds and put U ups.Well located centrally in Brides le Bain but basic now slightly dated apartments. Quiet and very convenient for the lift system (5 minutes walk up the hill). Clean and tidy. No night life to speak of (good for families... more

It's the second time we've been in Brides-les-Bains for Skiing but the first time in "le Grand Chalet". They are located very centrally in Brides with easy access to a gonodla which brings you in 25min right into the heart of the 3 valley skiing ressort. Compared to the prices of flats in the sking resorts this is a real... more

We arrived at the hotel around 2:30 after booking as part of a package with Crystal. As the other reviews have said, we were informed that we couldn't check in until 4pm. So we went to have lunch and returned just before 4pm. Of course the lineup was almost out the door and the receptionists were the SLOWEST you could... more

My brother and I have just returned from a week in this terrible hotel. We have never been so disgusted with somewhere to stay ever. My brother travels the world a lot with business including trips to Russia, Poland etc. He said he has never had the misfortune of staying in anywhere as miserable as Le Grand Chalet! Lets not... more

This was out first time skiing. I went with my boyfriend and we are in our 20’s. We stayed in the Le Grand Chalet, Brides-les-Bains. There was very little amenities with only 3 pubs, 3 restaurants and 1 food shop. The food was nice but there wasn’t a big section and if you wanted to go for a drink after... more

Right first of all these are budget apartments, so don't expect 24 hours hotel staff or a luxury room. We booked them through directski for £60pppw and at that price we didn't expect too much, especially after reading the largely negative reviews on here. However we were actually pleasently suprised. We arrived after midnight and they'd left our room open... more

Having read the other reviews on Le Grand Chalet in Brides Les Bains (before and after staying there) I thought I'd write a quick review of the place, something I've never done before on any web page ever before! Le Grand Chalet seemed to pop up on 'last minute' searches for cheap accommodation for people who book their ski holiday... more

Quite possibly the worst hotel I have ever had the misfortune to visit. Staff are inept, rude and very unhelpful. Expensive items were taken from our locked room and nothing was done by the staff. "I don't care" and "it's not my problem" were the repeated responses. They say this was the first time but clearly it wasn't (see other... more
