Hôtel L’Aigle du Montana by Les Etincelles

The group of Village Montana was very nice to stay. Next year I would come back very much, but we would prefere without half pension. Thanks!

This is not what I would call a hotel. It’s an old ski chalet with very small, old fashioned rooms and a small area for breakfast.. formerly operated by down market ski company, Ski World! There is nothing else other than rooms. It’s affiliated to another hotel and you go there for dinner. We moved to that hotel because this one is not 4*. It’s a bed and breakfast collection of rooms. The room we had was a classic. It was so small that there was no where to put your wheeled luggage bag other than at the end of the bed to be stepped over to get in and out of the room and bathroom. The shower room was so small even me as a UK size 8 barely fitted in. No proper shower head either, just a small stick shaped thing usually found on bath taps for rinsing your hair!. One small chair in the room that I suppose we would have to share. A 2/3 sized double bed! We booked a 4* holiday with ski Crystal and booked this hotel because it was owned by the same company that have the 4* Levanna in the resort too. We therefore expected the same quality as we had experienced there the year before. The difference couldn’t be more stark. A small hotel reception desk, rooms and breakfast. Nothing else! We were very unhappy and to be honest I think the lady on reception was used to people not being happy at this place being sold as 4*. She was not surprised when we asked to move to another hotel. We moved to Village Montana Hotel and it is 4* with full facilities too! Ski Crystal arranged the move for us and their rep for that area for Tignes was very helpful and indeed said others had asked to be moved the week before us too! This hotel needs to be accurately described and cannot use a 4* rating just because the places you are sent to for dinner have that rating. This is a 2* bed and breakfast, falsely representing itself as 4*.

Excellent room, bed made every day, super location and easy to find. Half board was very good value with a choice of restaurants. The only downside is that the parking is extremely tight, especially the ramp down and initial turn
