My wife and I have just returned from a very enjoyable week in the Mont Thabor in Serre Chevalier. Contrary to a previous review we found all the staff very freindly and always willing to help with any questions. The hotel is very modern with very good standard of decor. Security is very good with swipe cards needed to get into the building after 8:00pm and to get into the lift at any time, so only guests and staff have access to the accomodation floors. There are also safes in the rooms which are not charged for. Meals are taken in the adjoining restaurant and the owner and waiter are always welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfasts, taken in the hotel lobby, which are a buffet sort of thing with plenty of choice. The hotel is advertised as having a bar/night club but this was never open during our stay. The hotel closes down by 8:00pm so may not be for anyone who wants a bit of a social scene in your accommodation. We hung out at the Le Grotte bar about 5 minutes walk away (happy hour 3-5 and when the snow is falling). The nearest lift is above the bar but you can walk fairly easily to others. All in all, a very pleasant place to stay in a very good ski area. Would go back again, but if going with the lads, would find somewhere livelier. Lovely place to take the wife/girlfreind though.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Le Mont Thabor whilst skiing for a week booked through RocketSki.

Our room was of a good size, with a huge double bed, and plenty of wardrobe space. Heating was very effective and there was always plenty of hot water. There was a DVD player in our room, which would have been nice to use if we'd brought any DVD's with us!

We loved enjoying the steam room and sauna after a day's skiing, but found the jacuzzi a little disappointing (it could have been warmer).

At the hotel we had free use of a PC with Internet which was useful to check weather reports etc..

We were staying at Le Mont Thabor half board, and the food in the adjoining restaurant was fantastic, and something I looked forward to at the end of each day. Breakfast was served in the reception area of the hotel - mainly cereal, pastries, yoghurt, cold meat and cheese.

Whilst at least a 5 minute walk to the nearest ski lift, and about 10 to where the ESF hold ski school, this did not detract from our stay, and if we return to Serre Chevalier we would definately book this hotel again.

I'm writing this, not because the hotel was awful, but just because it's nowhere near as good as many websites make it out to be.

As the hotel is new, the room was very nice, much better than many French ski resort 3* rooms. The bed was great, the decor very nice and the bathroom very good.

Breakfast was very average and very disappointing. It was taken in the hotel foyer and there was not much to choose from. The restuarant is advertised as having 'excellent cuisine' and much is made of its reputation. However....you wont experience any of this if you stay half board! The food you are served is ok. We've had much better food at other 3* hotels.

We like a nice cold beer after a hard day on the slopes, but contrary to many websites advertising this hotel....there is no bar!!! The nightclub and the bar are closed.

All in all, it was a bit disappointing, and didn't live up to the hype.

Well, what a tiny cramped room, my how the brochure pictures are obscure, wow how unhelpful and unfriendly is the lady that runs the hotel.

The room allocated was not big enough to swing a cat in, you couldn't get your bags in and if you wanted breakfast in your room it was either in bed or in the bathroom - and you had to go and fetch it. Nice decor though.

I booked a luxury treat for a 40th birthday and boy was it memorable for all the wrong reasons. Next to the lift shaft and stairwell, on a main road. Breakfast was served through a 'canteen style' hatch in the reception and to eat it you had to sit in the foyer. How you can get it so wrong from such a beautiful brochure website!

We lasted two days as we managed to get upgraded to a luxury apartment at the top of the hotel with a jacuzzi bath, but we were much happier and more welcome when we moved to the hotel Christiana across the road even if was a traditional French hotel and not the lux hotel break we had been dreaming of.
