Pierre & Vacances Residence L'Ours Blanc

The best thing about our stay at the L'Ours Blanc residence was the attention of Miss Marianna and Mr. Allan at the reception, all small problems and questions were resolved by this VERY PROFESSIONAL team. Also, it is very close to the slopes and with a good apres ski with many shops and restaurants nearby. The only notable negative would be the problem with the wifi and perhaps a renovation of the apartments, the paint on the walls and the carpet on the floor.

We stayed in 743. 10-17th April. The place was nice. 2 bed 2 bath + separate toilet. Spacious (for 2 anyway), big kitchen table as part of a larger reception area opening out onto a great view of the slopes from a nice outside terrace! (You could sleep 7, though with gear that may be a push. 4 or 5 would be fine). Apartment was just like the photos we were shown. Its a nice lively place. The apartment is a little tired, but not bad and to be expected for these types of apartments, ive found. The shower door on my shower was fiddly to shut at first, for example. The twin beds were very narrow, i was able to push mine together though. The location couldn't be any better, it is right in the middle of the town and about a 5-10 min walk with your gear to the Alpe Express cable car which takes you to the Bergers chair lifts in about another 5 mins. There are lots of dishes/pots/pans and cutlery for self catering. I think the bed linen needs to be requested (I think we did this twice by mistake and ended up with loads). Its basic but clean! We also had towels too. WiFi for our apartment wasnt free, sadly. So we didnt bother. All in all a pleasant stay. I would possibly give a higher rating, but our stay was blighted by all the other rooms on our floor being occupied by students who descended for a few days from the same Uni. They were all together and partied all night. Usual high jinks. Getting locked out and banging on the doors for about an hour etc. coming and going and shouting to each other every 45 mins throughout the night. I got some ear plugs though and that sorted that out, after two pretty sleepless nights. (The noise couldn't be heard from the other bedroom though.) Im not sure whether this was a massive booking failure, as we were twice the age of them. I went to request another room, but reception was closed at that point. One thing to note is that you pick up and drop off the keys at a different location, about 10 mins walk away.
