Hôtel Eliova l'Eau Vive

Petit déjeuner copieux

Accueil très sympathique et un hôtel spacieux très bien situé.

Great location and good value for money.

The beds creaked a little.

Breakfast buffet was amazing. Plenty of off street parking. Very close to the Linga gondola station. We found it a great base for our 3 days skiing. The room was lovely and warm and the shower was very good.

The hotel does not have it's own WiFi, they seem to rely on a third party local provider. The connection was not available in the room and signal was just about OK at the front in the bar area. So if you need to get work done, you will have to rely on your own phone. We stayed in room 202 and there seemed to be a noisy extractor fan running right outside our door - just one to watch.

Clean, great breakfast and great bathrooms

The beds and pillows were really uncomfortable, so none of us had a good nights sleep while we were there sadly

The staff were very friendly, some spoke less English than others but with my limited French we managed to get by without any issues. The rooms were simple but clean with small balconies outside. The hotel itself was spotless. Morning buffet breakfast was more than adequate for a day on the slopes. Evening meals were a set 3 course menu of generously portioned local dishes and all were amazing. The bar was quiet and closed at around 10pm (we were too tired to stay up much later than this most nights) but Linga itself is generally quiet so would suggest the short 2.5KM walk into Chatel if nightlife is required. The hotel has a snow-equipment room also with direct access onto the street which was convenient upon returning or leaving. Linga Gondola is maybe 100M up the street. It was a great week and I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel WIFI was not fantastic in our room- if there was to be a criticism of the stay this would be it. But it was a very minor issue which did not detract from our enjoyment in the least.

The Hotel Eliova was fantastic - especially the food. Big selection for breakfast of top quality foods. The 3 course evening meal was also great. It was a set menu in the evening but what we had was very good quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice to relax in the bar with a drink and free nibbles and just go into supper when we chose. All super. :)

Beds were a little narrow and wifi was erratic.
