Residence le Cheval Blanc

Great location near to slopes and restaurants etc, lovely views. Staff are helpful and its easy to ski in and out, but rooms are rather tired and a bit small.

Hyvä lokaatio ja hotellista suora pääsy rinteeseen. Huoneesta myös erinomaiset näkymät vuorille/laaksoon. Huoneen siisteyden taso oli vähintäänki ala-arvoinen: lakanoissa tahroja, seinissä kosteusvaurioita, huonetta ei siivottu/pyyhkeitä vaihdettu kertaakaan viikon reissun aikana. Vessapaperia sai yhden rullan kerrallaan kun sitä kävi jonottamassa alakerran vastaanotossa.

We stayed at le Cheval Blanc for 4 nights in late March 2015. It has a youth hostel feel to it with accommodation being basic but clean. We are 3 forty something blokes and were there for a short ski trip with wife’s and kids left at home, and this was definitely fit for purpose – not sure I would want to stay here for the half term family break though. We were in a studio for 4, and there was enough space for us. The beds were comfortable and kitchen ok (no kettle, needed to use a saucepan). It is right next to the slopes – one side of the hotel is ski in/out, the other side requires negotiating a few stairs and crossing the road in your ski gear, not as convenient as the other side but not too bad. The hotel does cross the road and if, like us, your room was above the road it can be noisy with drunkards coming back all through the night from their apres ski. We found that ear plugs were essential for a good night’s sleep.

Our stay at Le Chevalier Blanc was ok apart from having a leaking kitchen sink. We advised one of the staff about the issue as soon as we discovered it and were told they were onto it. After 6 days (and asking this same staff member for extra towels to clean up the water leak in the kitchen nearly everyday) we again asked this staff member when the sink would be fixed only to be told they weren't aware of the issue!

We had a very comfortable stay the room was clean and had everything we needed. close to everything. The morning we left at 5.15am our taxi didn't turn up and Trevor arranged a new taxi for us and contacted our ongoing transport at moutiers to explain we may be late. we arrived on time !! Excellent service from Trevor and could not be more grateful for his help that morning especially as I was travelling alone with two teenage lads! Thank you and look forward to returning. Joanne

We only stayed on the mountain for 4 days and found this hotel to be perfect for our needs. It's located right by the slopes, but if you want a few drinks in the main bars in the evening it's a little further than stumbling distance. The room was a good size for 2 people, but a 3rd person might have made it a bit cramped. Overall great value for money.

Maybe we just went on a busy week with lots of students however, there was significant noise throughout the night which made it almost impossible to sleep. Location was brilliant and staff were very friendly.

The accommodation comprised self-catering apartments, which are of the standard variety in the French Alps. Nothing special, but the location made up for it, with direct access to the pistes from the ski locker rooms. The staff were friendly, and we were close to local amenities, so we had no complaints. We had a balcony overlooking the ski area, which was great - I'd happily stay again.

The hotel is a bit old, however my room was renovated, clean and equipped with everything you need for cooking and a filtered coffee machine. The location is the best you can find in V. Thorens with perfect ski in/out- you just step out of the locker room and you're on the slope. in addition, unlike other hotels in the higher parts of v. thorens, this hotel is located so that no matter where you end your skiing day, you can go back by skiing in the hotel. if you stay a bit higher in v.thorens and you missed your chair lift after 17:00, good luck walking all the way up to your hotel. the staff was very nice and helpful with information and tips. WiFi is very weak. a tip- if you book there, try and get a room on the (-) floors, as in -415, -619 and so on. These are the rooms with a better view to the slopes, and are away from the road where drunk people walk and shout at 3:00am. the hotel is not near the bars but that's an advantage, anyway they are about 10 min away and the malaysia club is just 5 minutes away. There's a very good sports shop at the hotel and in the surroundings another 5 stores. same goes for restaurants.

We-my daughter and I were very satisfied with our accomodation and stay at Cheval Blanc, Situated in the village at Val Thorens it is right on the snow and you literally walk out the ski room door onto the slope and lifts. There is a ticket office next door and ski rental available in the building and just up the street.car parking is available for 10euro a day in a safe locked up garage within the complex. Our apartment was clean, very compact but completely adequate. It has kitchen facilities and there are supermarkets about 200m up the street which are open until at least 6pm everyday.There are also a wide range of restaurants and take away places very close by.I think that more than 2 people in the unit would be overwhelming-they are advertised as up to 4 people.The staff were really pleasant and helpful and didn't mind using English, plus they tolerated our attempts at french in good spirits. We had no issues with noise problems.Considering that this was pretty cheap accomodation we felt it was very good value for money even though there were only 2 people in a potentially 4 person unit--don't think about this though if you want to enjoy your holiday!
