Araches-la-Frasse Hotel Guide - Ski Hotels in Araches-la-Frasse, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

"This is a great place for a visit to the mountains with (if you book this type of room) amazing views of the mountains in Flaine. The refurbished rooms were brilliant; big, ample storage, clean, well furnished kitchen) and the location is a nice walk into the village. The parking was easy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be coming back."

"Good residence for the family. We booked the top of the range suite, had 2 bathrooms. All the conveniences were there except a washing machine but fine for a stay less than a week. The property was very clean when we checked in and we returned it in a fairly clean state. The spa is good and the putside hot tub with views of the mountains is spectacular. "

"I have stayed at this hotel previously on five occasions. It is convenient to the ski slopes and in the centre of Flaine. The ski boot room is heated and secure. Last few weeks in the season are AI. Top two floors are exclusive to Crystal, the other half of the hotel is split between French or other European groups. The entertainment is French orientated which some UK visitors really enjoyed. Rooms are great with mostly balconies and very good bathrooms, This year the quality of the food (adult food) at dinner times was really poor and repetitive. Desserts were excellent! Maybe pizza/pasta every night is fine for families wishing something simple, which was for us when we had young children. There was no orange juice for breakfast for example, otherwise breakfast was decent. Staff were very hard working and helpful. One hot tub was a cold tub, one empty. Our biggest issue was that we booked a room for 7 nights, yet the hotel decided to close early and left us to arrange another hotel for our final night with a few weeks notice . Expedia were of zero help. MMV offered another resort, however we had transfers, lift passes and ski hire all arranged. MMV added additional stress that was avoidable, it is not easy to make a hotel change during a ski holiday, moving all the equipment somewhere else. We were refunded one nights stay. The neighbouring hotel Totem was exceptionally accommodating, allowing free early check in(6pm at MMV) and use of their boot room the night before. "

"The hotel was excellent, fantastic location and great facilities. We would definitely go again."

"Basic, be prepared to make your own beds (linen provided but double bed’s flat sheet was too small), and clean the apartment. Limited toilet paper and no toiletries. Ski locker corridor, cold swimming pool. Good location, next to Flaine Forêt ski lifts. There is a spar and ski rental, esf ski lesson shop within 5 mins walk."
