We stayed here for a long weekend skiing in April 08 and had a great stay.

It is run by a lovely young couple who went out of their way to make sure everything was OK for us. They were very helpful prior to arrival, allowing us to check in several hours early and even found a spare table to put on breakfast for us after our drive out from UK, despite the dining room being full. They have pretty much thought of everything you could possibly need, even down to a little chocolate on your pillow on arrival. They very kindly allowed us to leave our bags there having checked out, so we could ski all day then change and grab a shower before heading home.

The hotel is in really good condition, it has clearly recently been renovated and is well looked after. The rooms are very clean and comfortable; we found there was plenty of space for 2 people and all our ski gear in the double rooms. There is underfloor heating which is fantastic, gloves etc quickly dried on the bathroom floor. The bathroom was fairly new and worked perfectly well, no bath but the shower was absolutely incredible - extremely powerful and piping hot water. The hotel towels are a bit spartan but adequate, I recommend taking your own if you are fussy about this sort of thing. There is a sauna downstairs that was great to unwind in at the end of the day.

Breakfast was good, there was plenty of traditional continental food/hot drinks and you could make sandwiches for lunch (bags provided) if you're on a budget. Lunch up the mountain costs about 50 SFrancs for 2 people eating reasonably but not boozing. Not sure about the evening meals, we didn't stay in for supper, it was pretty cheap though (22 SFrancs a head) and probably very tasty.

The location is superb, it's about 2 mins walk from one of the main lifts up the mountain, although for beginners the nursery slopes are 8-10 mins. It's very close to the restaurants in town and has 2 supermarkets 50m away (not that town is big anyway). If driving, it's 10 mins walk from the car park, or an electro taxi will cost about 25 SFrancs (13quid). You can borrow a small cart from the hotel to save carrying your gear to/from the car park.

Overall - a really nice friendly hotel that is well run and awesome value for money. It's slightly more basic than 5 star luxury, but I highly recommend a stay here.
