Résidence Odalys Tourotel

Location, view, balcony, quite during the night.

Carpet was smelly and a curtain for the bathtub would be good.

Location was amazing, shower was great and hot and very powerful! Staff were really friendly!

Pillows weren’t great - but was really our only small complaint!

Location and Friendly staff

50 years ago, Résidence Odalys Tourotel, could have received a three star qualification. Due to the fact this building starts looking as a museum, a 1,5 star rating would be more in place. The only modification which has taken place over the last decade is most probably mounting a (mandatory) smoke signal. In a hotel there are 2 major items which must be good. That's are the beds and the bathroom. That the French are masters in tiny housing is known from the F1-hotels. And here I have to give compliments to the architects who where able to make optimum use of every square centimeter. The bathroom is small and so is the bath. Due to a lack of shower curtain you have to fold yourself in the bathtub with a length of max. 1 meter 50. The kitchen and table equipment is poor and messy. The Wi-Fi is poor as well. But the worst are the mattresses, see picture. After a whole day skiing in the fresh mountain air most people will sleep everywhere, but in this bed even that will be a challenge to achieve. For a price of €2.000,- a week this MUST be much better. Was everything bad? Surely not! The location is great! It is located in the quiet area of Val Thorens, straight at the slopes and near the ski lifts. You ski easy out and back in. The lockerooms for the ski's and boots are good as well. The (warm) water for taking a shower is more than sufficient and the size of the blankets as well. To dry them is more a difficult due to the absence of a accessible radiator. Despite this in the room it was warm enough. The house hold staff was friendly and kept everything clean and working. The occupation of the reception desk employees is poor. They are more likely "meat processors", with lack of empathie.
