Odalys Résidence Tourotel

I was a little worried, after seeing the reviews, however all in fine. There are a few strange rules: At the end of the stay, you go to reception to claim back your deposit. They radio the manager who checks the room. I was called back down to the room. They wanted all bowls and plates to be in exactly the same place on the shelf as when you arrive. (We could do with a photo?) I also had to sweep the apartment and the chairs had to be exactly the same place as when we started. I went back to reception and the deposit was refunded. Just a little hard work and petty. But that was my only problem all week. Pros Lovely warm duvets. Great blackout curtains Quiet - apart from the beep beep of ski mobiles outside Great views over the valley All cooking equipment you need for a week Just microwave with a grill and a 2 pan stove. No oven. They supply a dish cloth and two tea towels, plus some surface cleaner. No washing up liquid. Hot water all all times of day. Lovely shower. There was a kettle also in the room. Luggage store if you need at the beginning or end. Sheets, towels all supplied. Plus towel for floor. Ski in, ski out brilliant. Ski lockers right next to slopes. I would stay again.

The corridors are looking a bit shabby now, but the apartments were fine. Friendly staff, but with lots of rules and you're not allowed to take ski boots into your rooms. Good location for ski-in ski-out, but a bit of a trek to and from the bus station if you're travelling that way.

Overall very good. Father & son ski holiday. Pros Ski in and out excellent facility with excellent storage for ski gear - once you work out where to enter off the slope. Simple clean spacious if not dated decor. The flat has a nice layout and you can spend a week here comfortably & contrary to other reviews reception is very helpful (esp Anna) when its open. Cons Constant cigarette smoke come through the kitchen and bathroom vents. I had a blocked nose throughout, really unhappy that my 11 yrs old exposed. Its a design failure so no point complaining to reception.

Clean hotel next to the slopes , but old and outdated. Overpriced for the confort it offers

I travelled to the Tourotel expecting the worst given a lot of the reviews, and was pleasantly surprised and can only suggest those giving such poor reviews haven't stayed in ski accommodation before or hadn't looked at any of the photos. Yes it's basic (as are most ski accommodations), but they are well equipped (I've attached the inventory of the 2 bed apartment), and the mountain facing balcony rooms have the best view of any accommodation I've stayed in the alps. Sheets and towels came in sealed polythene bags, and microwave grill, and kettle were fine as was the drop down dining table. The half-size bath is pretty standard in French accommodation. My only issue throughout the whole week was the non stop beeping of the many many skidoos that buzz up and down the slopes right outside the room from 07:00 onwards all day. That isn't a complaint the residence can ever do anything about, and is a result of being so close to the slopes (you can't have it all ways). Not noticed the sheer numbers of skidoos in other resorts before, but then haven't had a room fronting the main piste in quite the same way so not sure if it's a Val Thorens specific problem or not.

Great location on the piste. Just old room with old appliances and kinda grungy.

We have stayed many times at this hotel. It is cheap and cheerful. The upstairs has been re-decorated and is lovely. This is true ski-in ski-out accommodation and that is why we love it. The bathroom is small and you have to have a sit down bath/shower. The kitchen is small too but for a cheap skiing holiday it is perfect. Brilliant location for slopes and the shops and restaurants. It can be noisy, but the hotel staff are very good at addressing this. Ski lockers provided.

All was well...

Great for ski in ski out all you need for a ski holiday a place to sleep & cook your meals

Close to amenities and on slopes. Good value for money.

Excellent location, ski to door but yet quiet at night. Less than 5 min to main street. Wish i had known there is no double bed in small accomodation. Only small tub with no curtain to shower: very uncomfortable and unpractical.

this was a great place for ski in ski out room was small but very good price for location

I'm going to start by saying the convenience of this hotel is it's most favorable point, it is right on the slopes, and there is a supermarket directly opposite and a lift to the main bars in the town. The room itself is small, we had a studio which was 2 sofa's which doubled as single beds. The bathroom doesn't have a proper shower, just a half sized bath with a shower attachment, so expect to sit cross legged to shower! There was a small kitchen with fridge and microwave which were very handy. Free WiFi is available, but only in reception, and it worked reasonably well.

This is not a hotel to enjoy as such, it's basic and cheep and the staff are great. Yes, the rooms are small and purely functional, but that's not the point. It's where it's that counts. It's way above the tree line nestled one of the best bowls of powder in the Alps.

Appartment was small, but clean and neat. Everything we needed was present.You get what you pay for. Perfect location, along the slopes

Boendet möter standarden för vad det kostar, i köket finns det man behöver och personalen var trevlig. Ligger centralt i Val Thorens vilket är ett plus. Ytterdörren var däremot jättetunn så du hörde andra gäster andas i korridoren utanför, vilket ledde till dålig sömn. Studion var otroligt sliten generellt och elen stökade så tex TVn gick igång mitt i natten vid flertal tillfällen. En ok vistelse som fyllde sin funktion men absolut inte mer än så

Dette er et slitt Leilghetshotell med dårlig eller ingen service. Det første vi måtte gjøre var å kjøpe toalettpapir , dusj og oppvasksåpe. Wi - fee / Internett skulle være inkludert , men virket ikke på rommet, bare delvis i felles resepsjonsområde.

L'accès ski aux pieds aux pistes, juste génial !!!

Ski aux pieds super quoique que studio un.peu vieillot

Super beliggenhed, alt ok. Kommer gerne igen.
