Hôtel Marielle

Everyone at hotel including ski shop was very accommodating and very nice I recommend this lovely hotel ! It’s gotta amazing spa sauna and steam room, ski hire was reasonably priced compared to others and very easy access to ski out the door directly outside the locker room.

Having read the earlier reviews we were a bit worried about our visit but we had a fantastic time. - Location is unbeatable especially having a child in ESF ski school. - We had a superior room which had a super king bed, and armchair that turns into a single for our 6 year old. Ample space, cleaned every day, comfy beds, bathroom with bath tub was great. Room 420 with balcony was a super spot to watch the bashers before bed. - Staff were excellent and always on hand for anything you need. - Extra unexpected touches like welcome drinks, drinking water still and sparkling available on tap, tea/coffee in the lobby, toiletries in the bathrooms. - Spq treatment was the best I’ve had in a long time especially after a week on the slopes. - Locker room is a really valuable feature, if a little smelly! - Ski shop in the hotel was super and couldn’t be more convenient. - Drinks are great, a little pricy but hey, you’re on holiday! - Food is good for a buffet, loads of choice and they also have a feature dish each evening e.g fondue, sushi, crepes etc. Our only comment is that it feels like they’re trying to be smarter than it probably needs to be after a long day skiing, pizza night or burger night, or a massive lasagne could go down a storm but maybe that’s just our personal taste. - DJ in the bar early evening and the terrace comes alive in the sunshine. Overall we were impressed as a 4 star hotel and the biggest thing for us was the ski in ski out ease, you can’t beat it, we have re-booked for next year!

My friend and I visited for the opening season and had a great time. The hotel was impressive, with everything we needed: a good breakfast, a nice restaurant and bar, a spa, and a well-organised kit area with lockers and heated boot storage that opened straight onto the slopes. Everything was smooth. The sauna overlooking the lower slopes was a great way to end the day. The staff were excellent, especially Jean from the concierge service, who was very helpful and even assisted us in digging out our car when we were leaving Val Thorens. As we left, the hotel gave us a box of chocolates and a 15% discount for our next booking, which was a nice touch. Overall, one of the best places I’ve stayed, and I’d definitely come back.
