This was our second family ski holiday staying at Madame Vacances Hotel Le Mottaret and we have been very impressed on both occasions. The very helpful and friendly staff are excellent. The location of the hotel is right next to the slope, a 30 second stroll from the hotel entrance. There is a ski equipment hire shop on the premises which is very convenient. The lounge/bar area is very comfortable and cosy after a day on the slopes, as well as the very soothing jacuzzi located outside at the front of the hotel. The swimming pool/spa area is also very relaxing. We stayed on half-board. The buffet breakfast is fantastic and each evening there was a different theme for the buffet dinner. We really enjoyed every meal! Our room was clean and comfortable and the shower was amazing! We would thoroughly recommend a stay here and we hope to be back again soon too!

Newly refurbished hotel + friendly, helpful staff.
Newly refurbished hotel with the friendliest and most helpful staff I have encountered in my many years skiing in the Alps. The reception staff were always warm, welcoming and friendly. The hotel is conveniently situated next to the slopes. The jacuzzi was wonderful after a day spent skiing. The food was varied and always very tasty and the restaurant staff were friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Our room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable, although at night it proved to be a little too hot. I would definitely stay again.

Good value and ideal for ski in-ski out
We arrived early at this hotel and were told that it was their first day of opening and official opening was not until 12:00 but the very friendly lady (Katie) took our bags for us so we could go and enjoy the day. The first day was all a little hectic inside the hotel with last minute cleaning and repairs been made but the service was fine, we were upgraded so we had a nice view of the slopes and room was comfortable and spacious. The hotel was well located for the slopes and there was a bus service into Meribel. The bar area was cosy and the guy at the bar serving us was very good. Only negatives really was the breakfast, lots of choice but not great quality and the ski room was a cave and very damp and cold which made getting the boots on a little tricky. We got a really good deal at the hotel so it seemed very good value but not quite as high standard as some other 3 star hotels in the Alps.

Definite ski in, ski out!
Madame Vacances location is exactly what you want for a ski vacation. There is a rental place right next door with very friendly staff and you can store everything there. It takes about a 3 min walk to the slopes where you can get on 1 of 4 lifts right away! The rooms are quite small and very out of date, but livable and with a balcony. The front lobby has a fireplace and seating for games and socializing with a bar available for drinks. The restaurant has amazing food all the time (make sure you get breakfast here) and definitely reminds me of a cabin on the hill. The staff are very friendly, helpful and happy.... A great atmosphere.

Nice staff, average hotel, terriblle restaurant
The hotel has a nicely stocked bar and nice feel to the lobby. The rooms themselves were rather uninteresting. Nothing terrible, but nothing remarkable. The staff were very nice and accomodating. We paid for the dinner when we booked, and would advise against it. The soup was watery, and the main course was a piece of boiled chicken served on steamed rice (unseasoned). The pasta course was mostly boiled pasta with a bit of sauce. We did not order the beef option, but the couple at the table next to us did, and complained about it. And the leftover bread from dinner was served for breakfast the next morning -- stale and inedible.

great staff and food but rooms could be improved
I would stay there again because of friendly staff and food great with convivial lounge/bar area, all in very good location; but hotel owner needs to invest a bit more in the rooms eg a bath plug, wall radiator that works, safe not at impossible-to-read ankle height, no burnt lamp shades, sufficient light to read in bed etc

Séjour hôtel Mottaret.
Hôtel confortable situé proche des pistes et des cabines pour accéder à Mottaret. Demi pension sous forme de buffets variés de qualité avec un thème chaque soir. Goûters mis à disposition chaque jour. Le Jacuzzi extérieur avec -10 degres est très fun. Personnel toujours souriant et avenant. A noter casiers à skis et à chaussures non individuels. Accès par un code partagé avec l’ensemble des hôtes. Température de la chambre un peu basse et pas de sèche serviette dans la salle d’eau.

Hyvä sijainti rinteiden vieressä. Hyvät palvelut. kaipaa jonkin remontointia mm suksi- ja monovarastot. Myös huoneet vanhanaikaisia ja surkeat sängyt. Puolihoidon ruoka ei ollut erikoista, mutta nälkä lähti. Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Manque de professionnalisme
L’hôtel est très bien situé au pied des pistes. Le personnel est sympathique mais manque de professionnalisme et d’encadrement. Plusieurs déboires pendant le séjour: la TV n’a jamais fonctionné malgré une promesse de réparation et la femme de ménage oublie de faire la chambre la veille du départ. La qualite des repas du soir est moyenne (buffet). Le rapport qualité/prix n’est pas bon.

À fuir comme les 3 étoiles filantes
Les clients en chambre individuelle sont interdits d'avoir. Eryains plats du jour malgré le supplément payé Obligé de se contenter des plats de la veille et contacter hôtels.com pendant le séjour Parties communes et chambre trop poussiéreuses Chambre mal insonorisée Personnel incompétent comme la pseudo responsable qui se tourne les pousses au salon plutôt que d'inspecter son Hotel crasseux comme j'ai pu le faire constater a une réceptionniste Couverts sales Nourriture moins bonne qu'a la cantine du lycée et au Resto d'entreprise ...

Matig tot goed hotel
Hotel was ideaal gelegen langs skigebied.De netheid kon iets beter.Het eten was superlekker , doch het ontbijt mocht wat later mogelijk zijn (tot 9u nu). De muziek op het terras smiddags was nogal luidruchtig.

Leider hatten wir den ganzen Tag von 8h30 bis 22h30 laute Musik von der Aussenbar.Wofür? von 18 bis 21h wäre es noch zu verkraften. Die zwei Einzelbetten waren nur etwa 75cm breit, die Matratzen waren jedoch sehr gut.Das Frühstücksangebot war sehr gut, auch für nicht-Engländer..

Deplus nous avions pris la demi pension et là c'est le désastre la demi pension ne comprend que 2 plats ( entrée plat ou plat dessert ) 1er repas 40 mn pour avoir la carte alors que nous étions la 3em table ,choix entre 2 entrées 2 plats 2 desserts au lieu de 3 minimums, quantité dans les assiette pour des enfants de 6 ans et pas du tout travaillé ( frites vraiment trop cuite, part truite saumon 1/4 d'une portion normale, légumes cuits simplement à l'eau) aucun buffet ni grillade ! ....

Chambres très bien rénovées et de bon goût !
Comme mentionné à Madame Vacances, de nombreux déboires lors de ce séjour :Pas de chef en cuisine 1 jour et demi sur 3.Le gérant a cru pouvoir assurer mais n'y est pas parvenu, nous les pensionnaires avons dû faire cuire nos steaks et frites.... De plus, la nourriture n'était pas digne d'un tel établissement, nous avons mangé des boîtes de conserve, certains pensionnaires ont même dit qu'ils mangeaient mieux à la cantine, c'est vraiment dommage, cela détruit la réputation de cet hôtel qui pourtant est très agréable ! Nous ne connaissons pas le fin mot de cette histoire, de toute façon, un manque de rigueur et d'organisation est certain, que s'est-il vraiment passé avec ce chef de cuisine et le Gérant, ça, nous ne le saurons pas !!!!!

tres bon emplacement
chambres petites mais correctes pour de courts séjours. Petit-déjeuner excellent et large choix. Repas satisfaisant. Globalement un peu cher pour le niveau de l'hotel, à mon avis ne mérite pas 3 étoiles.
