Le Castillan

Nice hotel, very friendly owners. A very short walk from access to the grand sur chair lift and the bus stop which takes you directly to the slopes, also just up the road from a shop and some bars/restaurants. Didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening but the breakfast was fantastic and always very well stocked. The bar is a nice atmosphere and very cosy. The room was comfortable and the bed was nice. We had a balcony which overlooked the mountains which was beautiful. No complaints, we would definitely stay here again!

This is a moderately priced hotel that is conveniently located in L'Alpe d'Huez within about a 6-7 minute walk from two different lifts that can be taken to the base of the mountain. The rooms are basic with a comfortable bed, slightly lumpy pillows, a machine for boiling water with powdered coffee and tea, and basic bathroom amenities (but no refrigerator). There is an excellent hammam in the basement area along with a small gym, sauna, and massage parlor (for an extra price). There are locked ski lockers on the ground floor, a comfortable seating area with abundant natural light, a bar, and restaurant. While we were not thrilled with our two meals at the hotel restaurant (it is possible to have demi pension with breakfast and/or dinner), the couple that runs the hotel are very sweet and helpful. The super location and comfortable environment made this a great place to spend a few days skiing.

A very pleasant, clean and comfortable family run hotel in good location. A warm welcome with friendly and helpful staff. Was perfect for our inter generational short family skiing trip. Quiet at night if you want some rest after a hard day on the slopes, but close to other bars and restaurants etc if you want to go out. Easy access to regular free ski bus (stops virtually outside) to main slopes embarkation area. Having excellent Alain Sports ski hire in the same building is perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

Lovely, traditional French hotel. A family run business which was lovely to see. The rooms were warm and clean with comfy beds. The superior rooms had great views from the balcony and provided a perfect spot for some post-ski sunbathing. Sauna and steam room available which we also used which was a great addition. Breakfast was buffet style with hot and cold food and some very tasty coffee and croissants. Dinners were delicious and varied. We especially enjoyed the cheese trolley before dessert! The waiters were friendly and did a great job looking after our group of six. All hotel staff were helpful and smiley. Every Thursday they have a raclette night served by the chef himself which is fun! The location is excellent. A five minute walk to apres bars and restaurants and a ten minute walk into town. You can ski to within a five minute walk of the hotel. In the mornings you can also ski (or walk) from directly outside the Hotel to the Grand Sure chairlift. This takes five minutes maximum. We will definitely be back!

Very much enjoyed a six night late season stay at Le Castillan. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were on half-board and the meals were top quality; the lack of choice was an accceptable price to pay for this. The hotel is about 30m from a piste giving access to a chair that gets you into the main lift system. If you are wiling to run the gauntlet of window tapping, you can ski to the edge of a car park 60m from the hotel. We had a happy experience renting skis from Alain Sports just under the hotel

Le Castillan in Alpe d'Huez is a great place to stay. It is a family-run lodge with many rooms with balconies facing out over the valley. Rooms are a comfortable size with wood panels. Higher floors have better views. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is a large comfortable lounge with a bar and a nice view. The dining room serves breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a good buffet with scrambled eggs & bacon included. Dinner has a daily menu. I ate 3 of my 4 nights there. There is a spa with steam room & sauna. There is a private locker room for ski equipment. It was all very reasonably priced.
