Great location

6/10 Good

Ski slopes were very close, Approach Hotel.is right near one of the main chairlifts which was very convenient. What was not convenient was the wxcessive noise every night in the corridors and in the stairwell of the hotel, and the techno rave music coming from the T-Bar pub next door.The thumping bass continued till 2am in the morning. Staff were hard to find to voice my concerns about this, and the noise continued every night into the early hours which ruined what was otherwise a great trip.

Nice renovated room. Older hotel so yes there is some noise. They provided ear plugs but were not necessary. Great ski in/out

Hotel was in poor condition- very old, not clean, very thin towels in the bathrooms, all that was provided in the bathroom was a bar of soap. Walls are paper thin- could hear every noise throughout the hotel (they did have ear plugs in the room). Only good thing was the location.

Very hard to get to the room. Only one elevator you have to take up then come down a floor with all your luggage. Large group of college kids all around up. Stayed up till 4 very loud.

Excellent family holiday!!!

There is lots of activities to do at the resort. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. There is no ac in the room so I would recommend packing a fan. We loved all the activities right at the resort!!

Nice hotel, lots of things to do. Pool was a bit crowded with screaming kids. Too bad no adults only pools lol. Also only one restaurant open, wish more choices. Staff was great. Everything way overpriced.
