Langley Hôtel Tango

Great hotel. Food brilliant. Staff a mix of nationalities and all very friendly and helpful. Hotel nicely decorated. Rooms a tad tight but many are in the alps. Beds comfortable. Good working shower that is a wet room with toilet opposite. Floor gets wet but you get a floor squeegee and we didn't find a problem. Didn't use spa facilities of hotel but others said it was ok and said Hôtel Koh-I Nor near by was a lovely spa hotel (35-50euros) a short walk above the hotel. Ski hire just 50 meters away down the road, along with various bars and shopping centre, which had a lovely crepes bar. Ski out..2 choices. Walk one minute down the road and join the piste that takes you on a green to all the major lifts or ski around the front side (though probably a bit daunting for some (the walk down the road is nothing really). To ski back grab the Pionniers or Plein Sud lift (Folie Douce at top of these) and ski down Plein Sud run (blue run, can be busy, get churned up, but it is wide until quiet road that leads to hotel). If blue run too much then magic carpet, at top go through first row of hotels and apparently these a lift and stairs that go up to hotel level, or easily catch the bus that drops you off outside hotel. Just keep left and look for KIN sign on side of hotel, keep left all the way. See youtube video, search Tango Val Thorens, ski in ski out. Dining and bar area is sometimes hard to hear each other, I think due to many hard sound reflective surfaces. Bar reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend. Would definitely go back. As a group of 40 they couldn't seat us all in one setting unless we ate at 9pm.

Good Points 1) staff are excellent 2) food is excellent 3) clean rooms 4) close to slopes Bad points 1) boot room is tiny and people just take any boots regardless if they’re theirs or not, this happened to us so we ended up taking our boots to our room each night after they’d been returned. 2) open to non residents, and because the food is so good the bar and restaurant is always packed. So if you want to have a conversation you can’t as it’s so loud and it’s difficult to find somewhere to sit 3) evening meal set menu, whilst the food is fantastic the portion sizes are tiny. I’ve been skiing all day, I want more than one chicken leg, mouthful of spinach and spoonful of mash. Also, the basket of bread, you constantly have to ask for it to be refilled as they give you 1 tiny piece of baguette each. 4) rooms on the basement floor are like walking into the dungeon, past all the maids quarters and laundry room and the corridor stinks 5) the ski in ski out isn’t great for beginners, it’s really steep and narrow Would I stay here again? No, too busy and noisy for my liking.

I stumbled upon this hotel when I arrived in Val Thornes. I was on a ski holiday for a few weeks, bouncing around with no set plans- so I didn't book anything ahead of time. I saw the hotel, popped into the reception and to my luck was able to book a room for 3 nights - it would have been 4 if they weren't closing for the season! The bed was the most comfortable in my entire trip. It was hard to get moving in the morning, but the skiing was calling! The hotel was in the perfect location, easy to ski in and out of. The staff was so nice (thanks Elodie!) and helpful with everything- from offering restaurant suggestions, holding my luggage, etc. Always with a smile on their face. The drinks and food were delicious and the views of the mountain were breathtaking. Thanks for an amazing stay!!!
