Good location BUT it is NOT ski in ski out as advertised. Booked on this basis but either a (short) walk to the slopes or an elevator into the lower part of Flaine for the gondolas.
Really disgusting smell in room. Some air freshener would have helped but it smelled AWFUL, like wet dog/sewage.
No boot warmers in locker so suspect the smell is from people drying boots.

The location is great, the ski lockers and the general facilities on the lower floors were good.
The apartment itself was very tired; the carpets were stained and the standard of the furniture and fittings was not good. It needs a refurbishment, and as such was not a place that was inviting to spend time in when not skiing. This is a shame as it is a self-catered apartment and if it was in good order it would have been good to feel comfortable in to have dinner and to relax. We paid €4,000 for the week which is definitely worthy of a better standard of accommodation.

Perfect location for skiing with ski rental shop next door and very short walk to slopes. Good set up for ski equipment storage in lockers downstairs. Views stunning. Warm, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely clean and comfortable apartment. Would highly recommend!!

Rooms were spacious for ski hotel, clean and well laid out. Ski lockers were a good size with room to sit and put boots on. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice location.
They asked for 12 euros per day extra for the dog, even though this wasn't listed specifically in the pricing! This is not legal, but neither booking nor the hotel has done anything about it. Booking doesn't even reply to our messages!

Great ski location, through we stayed there in off season. It's a centre of chairlifts/cable-cars for panoramic views of Mont-Blanc and other mountain ranges. South facing balcony was a great feature of my apartment. Kids loved clouds covering the mountains in front and everything becoming foggy in few minutes... and then a bright day again :)
Also, having a bath, a toilet separate and a combined shower/toilet were excellent facilities when staying with grownup children :)
Perhaps carpets need a bit of cleaning as there were a few stains and they were a bit smelly as well.

The location is a top destination for hikers (mainly in summer), skiing and snowboarding area as well. There are several routes for hiking available and the surroundings are breathtaking for those who love nature. There is ample huge free parking space. Don't feel like taking the car for a trip, don't worry! You step right into nature in every direction of your stay. The studios are very neat and spacious, equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, private toilet and TV. Furthermore, extra attention is spend to the safety of the guests, for example by means of a code for the main entrance and two keys for the rooms.
Unfortunately, arriving early to check in can be confusing. It is not clear where exactly the reception is. Only around 8:30 am and 5:00 pm an electronic wall goes up, behind which the reception (stairs up) is hidden. Not always obvious when you visit for the first time. The staff at the counter is very friendly and helpful. However, Booking.com sometimes send a (pin)code that turns out not to be the code needed to open the front door. This was provided on site at the time of registration. However, they claimed to have sent a code by text message or email, which does not seem to be entirely correct. Point for improvement is, but not strictly necessary, that there are no dining options available in the building itself. However, you can go to the immediate vicinity or you have to take the car. In high season there is a restaurant available in the building.

All very new, modern, comfortable
After we have checked out, receptionist told us we need to clean the kitchen and remove bed linens and put the towels all together in the room, otherwise we will not get our deposit back… that was really weird, as we cleaned the kitchen as much as wee could, and I have never had to remove bed linens and etc. That was not what we have expected in 4* hotel.

Great location. The lady on the reception desk was brilliant.....informative, polite, kind.
General layout of apartment good. Kitchen and bathroom fine. Kitchen had most things that were needed to cook. Warm and light.
The pillows were big and square and very uncomfortable. I ended up rolling up my jumper and slept on that as it was more comfortable. There was only one small comfy setee for a 5 person apartment, so only 2( or 3 little ones) could sit down comfortably at a time to watch a film / TV together . The others had to sit on the kitchen chairs.which got very hard after a while! Could do to have a couple more comfy chairs.
The can opener was useless!! Needs upgrading

The view and location to ski school and ski lift.
The pillows and the noise of the expel air in the kitchen at night time. The pillows gave us all neck pain. My husband and i slept on the sofa bed, and although the sofa bed itself was ok, the noise of the expel air in the kitchen was so loud, it was pretty unbearable, neither of us slept well. There should be an option to switch it off the expel-air at night.
Also the apartment wasnt very clean - there was dirt and dust on skirting boards and in corners of rooms.

Its nice place to stay for hiking in Flaine area. Shops, cafes and restaraunts are near by, parking is on a steep hill above hotel (but, hey, you are here for hiking). Room is very good, has everything you need and nice mountain view.

Were stayed for two nights in summer. Amazing view to the mountains. Fully equipped kitchen. As the front desk working hours did not match our arrival time, they offer self check-in option with keys left in code locked box outside the building. Together with keys we got all the information need for the stay.
No washing machine in apartment. But they have laundry service available so that is not a big issue.

Excellent and clean rooms for a really small price - even the sofa beds were well-designed and comfortable which is not always the case. The host crew was really flexible: we couldn't arrive until 8PM (reception's closure time), but we got the keys in a locker box anyway easily - well done, well communicated! Location was really nice and the long-term parking + short-term parking places are also well thought thru. Although the entire village seems to be a relic of the 1970s where everything was made from concrete (excellent choice for architects interested in this era!), the rooms are still in a really good shape. We would love to see this valley also in winter if it was not that far away...
Not much. Probably if you are interested in visiting Chamonix and the Mt. Blanc area (like we were) this location is not the best since you have to climb a huge pass (30+ mins with car) which is basically a dead end - then next day you have to go down, visit Chamonix and climb back again. :-) But it was soooo much cheaper than anything near Chamonix that even this detour was ok for us.
