Residentie Le Machu Pichu

As one of the original building of Val Thorens- The residence looks its age compared to the flashy new hotels in resort but its location on the slopes with prosneige and esf on your doorstep and the main ski lifts within metres of the front door makes this is a skiing families dream. Catch a last lift from plein sud and ski right back to your front door. What else could you want.

This place is no where near as bad as some have reported. The location is very good. It is ski in/out. It was clear (not perfect). Over is feel is big hotel so lacking some in details. The betting and room was clean. The view was very good. Room walls are same as any hotel, in that if next door are having a party so are you but you can not hear other talk or even TV. Staff where helpful. I would say do check when you book as price can change a lot. Full price is to much. We would go back but may shop about first.

Bigger than expected from the pictures but it is still small we had 5 adults in the room and the sofa bed was easy to use all kitchen appliances were good, the room was clean on arrival could have done with a larger bathroom.

There are now some very swanky places to stay in Val Thorens (with prices to match). Les temple du soleil being one of the older buildings cannot compete with the likes of those places but if you want great access to the slopes and the ability to return home from anywhere in the resort then this place offers the best location and good value. We have stayed here many times, the ski shop (eskiador) state) are great. In the past we have had issues with noise at night but last week there was no issue at all.

Its a perfect place for its price, but the walls are very thin, and we coul hear every word from other rooms. Also it was wery dusty in our room, and pillows were not so clean too. There is no hairdryer. But all other items were ok - from coffee machine to dishwasher.
