Le Samovar Hotel & Chalets

Es un hotel pequeño tipo chalet de montaña. Las habitaciones son confortables sin lujos, pero tienen albornoz y cafetera. La nuestra vistas directas al teleférico de la Daille y las pistas de esquí. El desayuno es buenísimo: quesos, pan bueno, tortitas, pasteles, futa, aguacate. Todo de buena calidad Tiene un pequeño spa para relajarse después de esquiar, guardaesqís y está a 50 mt del remonte de la Daille. Para ir al centro de Val dÍsere hay que coger el bus que para justo en la puerta cada 6 minutos y gratis durante el día. El personal es simpatiquísimo y amable. Hemos estado felices en este hotel.

Excellent sejour au samovar. Emplacement parfait et super service. Belle deco, super petit dejeuner. Jacuzzi et hammam/sauna tres propre.Vue sur la montagne Seul petit bemol le diner moyen, fermé le mardi soir.

This is a great hotel. Facilities are good, staff are helpful and friendly and the location is excellent. The shuttle bus service to val centre is right outside and is very reliable and fast. And the lift and funicular are 5 minutes walk away. Perfect.

We had a great stay at the Samovar which has an ideal location for access to the lift and funicular. The food was great at breakfast with lots of continental choice and in the restaurant at night the menu was great and reasonably priced the waiting staff were very pleasant. The reception staff are very friendly & pleasant and try to be helpful especially Abdul Shania & Tom but the hotel has so many small niggly negative points that let it down,it is so disjointed where you feel like a pest asking for simple things that should be there, Central heating, Towels, Green teabags, Coffee etc. They need to regrade the rooms as they are not really what they say they are. Additionally from the crystal ski payment i paid an extra 560 euro direct to the hotel for a superior double upgrade with mountain view & these rooms don't really exist, Apart from the view and balcony the room was a small twin and had two single beds pushed together, there was no wardrobe just an under stairs hanging space,we had a tiny mezzanine room upstairs but it had no lighting, The heating wasn't working in the main room, bathroom or mezz for the full week and drying wet ski gear was a problem were they had to take our gear to the laundry to dry. wet towels were just left and dry were not delivered. We were given a small electric heater which made the room unbelievably hot unbearable and noisy. we were offered another room which was similar but also had heating problems which seems to be a theme across the hotel. They told the crystal ski rep that our heating was adequate and registering 21 degrees but this was measured during the day when we were out but not during the minus degree's during the night when it was cold. A partial refund was refused which i thought would have been a good will gesture for the discomfort we endured. Overall a great stay we would go back which is why think they don't offer any compensations as they know this hotel will always fill.

We stayed in Chalet Athenaise for the Christmas week and loved every moment. The hotel is in a great location in La Daille, 2 minute walk from the main bus stop and only 15 minutes into the main part of town. The chairlift and funiculaire is directly opposite so its easy to gain access to the slopes- the return journey isn't ideal for novice skiers but most of our group found it relatively easy. The chalet - amazing!! The décor is of a very high standard, the kitchen has everything you could possibly need and the bathrooms are well stocked with supplies. The top floor ('snug') was ideal for those lazy afternoons and we loved watching all the action on the red run and the slalom course. We were fortunate enough to have the master room on the ground floor - it is a fabulous room with a spacious bathroom. The chalet was immaculate on arrival (thank you so much for going to the effort of decorating it with Christmas trees, really appreciated that extra touch!) and was cleaned twice during our stay. The facilities were spot on - washing machine, dryer and a boot room on site for our ski gear. We had breakfast at the hotel each morning and were very happy with what was provided - fresh produce, bread and enough variety to satisfy everyone in our group. We ate in the restaurant on Christmas Day (raclette and fondue) - again, a lovely meal and the staff were really welcoming especially considering they were working on what is usually a family and friends occasion. My friend and I booked massages through the hotel - blissful!!! I felt very relaxed afterwards. The only negative I would say is that the pool/spa area is only open from 3pm so if you book an earlier massage you don't have the option to laze at the pool before/after your treatment. But that is a minor detail.. The staff were great, very accommodating with what we needed and happy to help with any issues / questions we had. There is a lovely family-run restaurant opposite (La Barillon), we had a delicious meal there on Christmas Eve and the bar in front (La Rosee Blanche) is ideal for après ski! We used Skimium (near the bus stop) for our ski gear and there is well stocked Spar alongside for anything you might need (note it is closed from 1-3.30pm though!) If you are driving, be aware that the incline into the parking garage is quite steep if its icy and you'd need to remove your roofbox to get in. Parking is quite tight for a 4x4 but there is an underground public parking garage next to the hotel which might be an easier option.

Excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Samovar. The staff were very helpful and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to others.
