We had an apartment for 6 for a family of 4. The location is truly exceptional. You can ski directly to and from the ski room, and get to several lifts within seconds. We had no problems with the apartment, and reception were very helpful with a number of questions. We were on the piste side of the building and... More

The hotel is in a great location, with ski-in/ski out style. Also, not far from amenities such as supermarket etc. Good value so good for students and those looking for cheaper accommodation. Rooms and bathroom were large enough. Kitchen has everything needed for making a meal(only a microwave oven though) and even had a dishwasher(need to buy own tablets). Nice... More

I'm 39 and stayed here early March 2012 with my 35year old Girlfriend- I have been skiing in France for 23years now and I was slightly concerned after reading so many bad reports on Tripadvisor about this complex!!! HOWEVER this is a 3* Apartment Block in a Purpose Made SKI resort, Highest in Europe with SKI in SKI out facilities... More

After reading plenty of negative reviews about Le Cheval Blanc, I decided to book mainly based on the low price and arrived expecting not very much at all. In hindsight my low expectations were a good thing, as it meant that all in all, my stay was absolutely fine. It is a three star, after all and does not claim... More

You get what you pay for and after reading all these bad reviews prior to our arrival we found the Cheval Blanc to exceed our expectations. After all its only 3 stars and falls into the 'basic / on a budget' section! We had a 1 Bed appartment with separate bed room (twin beds) and found the space plenty for... More

Without doubt the worst hotel,in fact it's an injustice to even include it as a hotel. Noise,lack of towels,cold cramped rooms.reception non existent.only one plus is it's ski in and out location.Val Thorens itself as a ski resort is second to none.can be expensive,keep an eye on the happy hours.buy and cook your own food.

Do not go there with kids. We had 4 person's appt and only 1 blanket. If you want to sleep at night , stay away from this place. You will experience drunk people making wild noises , singing, crying all night long, everywere in rooms, coridors and balconys. Residence's staff doesen't care about about it. No smoking/no smoking rooms. Don,t... More

The only thing true about this complex is its Ski in and Ski out location. You can ski directly into the locker room which is ideal. We had an apartment for 7/8 which had 2 twin rooms & 1 bathroom upstairs. This apartment should only be used to sleep 4max. 3 of our group slept downstairs on the sofas with... More

Le Cheval Blanc isn't far off from being decent budget accomodation. It is genuinely ski-in ski-out right to the locker room door, the location is great, the rooms are what you pay for, basic but clean and it has a resturant, bar and BBC1 & 2 on the TV. The problem is if you stay here you accept that you... More

Reception open 24hrs on changeover day of Saturday. We booked a 6/8 person apartment with lift passes included in the deal. Walked up to reception, all lift passes ready, 2 locker keys and 6 key cards for the apartment (only 1 had problems working later in the week). Apartment over 2 levels with 2 bedrooms and shower room on mezzanine... More
