Hotel Le Flaine Reviews

Generally fine!

Reviewed 6 May 2016

The hotel was fine for what we wanted; I went with my 11 year old son who’s a fussy eater, so chalet dinners (where you only have one dish on offer) weren’t an option. Here we had a big buffet with lots of choice – they did themed evenings so there was variety each night, Spanish one evening, American the next…
At 4-5 O’clock each evening they had some kind of food on offer for kids (like candy floss one night) which was nice.
The only thing was that when we booked there was something in the package about having a card that gave you a certain amount of credit at the bar. When we booked in there was no mention and we only found out the night before we checked out, an hour before the bar closed! It seemed quite disorganised. I think it was probably because the hotel didn’t really cater to Brits, we were one of three British, English speaking families out of about 200 people (it was probably 95% French), and the other guests were obviously all booked onto a different package. They were all there on full board whereas we only had half board.
The hotel itself was fine, not luxurious but basic and functional. It had a good boot room and the bedrooms were clean and alright. It wasn’t overly noisy in the evenings.
It's is quite conveniently located for the ski slopes and lessons with ESI. It’s not the prettiest hotel but Flaine isn’t the prettiest resort.
We liked that Flaine has a short transfer time from the airport, however once we got to the resort this was the last hotel the bus drop off, so we were driving around the resort for another hour.
