Bewertungen L'Ecrin des Neiges

Friendly staff, good location but small non premium rooms, can't understand why this is called a premium residence. Much better value available in other non premium Pierre et vacances residences. Must be a tignes thing.

old, low tech, wifi poor (even the paid for wifi), 3G not accessible in all rooms. Not enough chairs/sofas for 4-5 people let alone six. The beds are super hard. There is Nowhere to put snow boots/shoes which are wet, so you either have to put up with wet floors in-side or leave your stuff in the corridor.

The staff onsite was excellent! They welcomed us upon arrival late at night with a smile on their face and were very friendly, helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. The building had a nice mountain character to it and it was located adequately close to the lifts and the town. The apartment was clean and had a basic but decent style. The only (big) problem was that the apartment was tiny! It is advertised as fitting up to 6 adults, but honestly it doesn't. There is barely any space to move in the apartment and once we pulled out the sofa-bed it was uncomfortably cramped. Having the bags, clothes, jackets and other stuff of 6 people in the apartment makes it even worse and there very limited spaces to organize things and get them out of the way. For the price we paid we'd expect an apartment that actually fits 6 people.. Finally we were also asked to pay the city tax once we arrived, which is understandable but not clear at all when booking and therefore unexpected.

We had an apartment that slept 9 (everyone had a bed - no one had to sleep in the sitting room!) and the sitting area and dining table were large enough to accommodate us all. The kitchen is small but functional, but there is plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. Bathrooms are good with showers over the bath, but after a day on the slopes a soak in the bath certainly helps the legs recover! The Residence is very well located with a bus stop right outside the door, taking you to the main lifts in Tignes Val Claret in a few minutes. To walk in your ski boots plus skis would probably take about 6-7 minutes. Alternatively there is a moving rope you can hang on to which "drags" you to the main lift area and again that starts just opposite the apartment. There are lots of ski hire shops a few minutes walk away and a small supermarket. Underground parking provided at an extra charge, but well worth it so you don't have to clear the snow off your car at the end of the holiday. Otherwise there is an open air car park directly opposite the Residence - again for an extra charge.

Clean, well equipped, parking under the hotel, comfy beds and lots of space. A good choice for a weeks break. Ski passes were ready on arrival and the late check out meant we had an extra day on the slopes.
