Le Val Thorens, a Beaumier Hotel

Hotel great location. Although food was very poor for France. Booked half board but was told by reception we had to book every night for dinner. We arrived at 19.15pm one evening to no salad had to ask staff to replenish it. Food was left in small bowls under heat lamps that were to high to keep food hot .Main courses were generally cold. Seemed to be a shortage of fruit at breakfast. Only one coffee machine which kept breaking down. Was told we could eat at the Fondue restaurant next door . Then told we could only have 2 dishes each so would have to pay the extra if we wanted dessert. Had a village facing room street very noisy even with ear plugs. Staff however were really nice. Such a shame food was such a let down. Definitely not worthy of a four star rating. Sorry!

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, with groovy rooms. The retro style is pretty cool throughout the hotel and the rooms are generous. The balcony has an epic view. Theo, porter / bellhop, was very helpful and always smiling - nothing was an issue and went out of his way. The breakfast buffet was fantastic way to start the day!

Great location, spa / pool very good, breakfast fine but no or poor on any fruit provision. Do not book half board as evening food is very poor, vast amounts recycled, had to send meals back. Fondue was good but the issue was the brasserie. Staff who worked at the brasserie were great .. just a kitchen issue. So overall good place to stay but eat out / no half board.

Staying at the hotel Val Thorens was a great choice. Shops and bars outside the front door and pistes out of the back. Our first time in this resort and to a ski in/out hotel. No trudging through the streets to find a bus or chairlift! The hotel is a carefully restored 1970’s one with a light atrium at its centre. Only three floors high the rooms are adequate, warm and comfortable, the giant beds are great. Breakfast and dinner are both filling and delicious and the staff so helpful and friendly.

Val Thorens is an amazing skiing area. Why one star? We came here to enjoy the mountains, skiing and nice evenings on the balcony. . Instead we are being blasted by loud music from 16:00 until after midnight and apparently this will be every night this week. Sleep is impossible as is sitting on the balcony. I like a good party/ after ski however would like to have a choice if I want to attend. And apparently neither the booking agency nor the responsible people in Val Thorens thought to give a heads up that living in town this week will mean you are exposed to music so loud that sleep is not possible. Had we known we would have chosen a different location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Le Val Thorens Hotel. Our south-facing room with balcony on the 3rd floor was spacious and well equipped - with a king-sized bed and a lovely bathroom. The view across the piste and mountains beyond was great. The towels were ample and of best quality, as were bathrobes (for going to and from the pool) The breakfasts were excellent and catered for every taste. We were half-board and enjoyed the diners, which included a main course a la carte and a buffet selection of starters (including sometimes oysters and crevettes !), and final courses. The a la carte menu had only 4 choices each evening, but changed daily and was well prepared and well presented. No complaints. The attitude of the staff at all levels was exemplary. Everyone pleasant, friendly and helpful - that above all made our stay so good. The hotel was kind enough to provide perfect weather for us too. The boot room was a few steps from the piste, where immediate access to several lifts was possible. We skied as much as we wanted and several times enjoyed a swim in the hotel's indoor poolafterwards. The sauna and steam room we used too. There was also a little gym, which we didn't use, but the equipment there was comprehensive and of beautiful quality. This may be our last season skiing, (being mid- and late-seventies) - but otherwise I would definately come here again.
