Sowell Hotels le Parc & Spa

Good food and great service, hotel was nice and bed clean and comfortable, they borrowed us a room to store ours bike so it was perfect Staff was kind and helpful, beer was great and also breakfast. Room was in great condition heater was working

It was good stay for our family. The location was good, facilities, breakfast. All the staff friendly and helpful, espcially in SPA and pool area.

Very friendly personnel! We had a nice skiing trip. Also for my wife with gluten allergy was very much taken care after...

.So do not recommend this hotel. The bread during breakfast was not fresh, especially if you went for breakfast early. There was also little variation in the bread. The rooms are very small, especially the toilet and the bathroom. Price, quality does not really match!

We stayed here with 2 for a ski holiday of 1 week, all in. First night we were shocked entering the dining room, a feeding shed 'vreetschuur' as we call it in Dutch. Tables close to each other to cramp as much people as possible in it. However, the longer we stayed the more we got used to the hotel's limitations. The more I was tempted to give 4 stars,specifically because of the staff. Looking back, no it is not worth that. So, 3 stars. Food is mediocre, with plenty of choice though, every evening several different courses. French fries were very good (in France🤔). Desert is very good as well.  The smell in the hotel and particularly in the hallways is chemical as if they want to cover an even worse smell. Also in our small room the same smell, making you opening the window fully and all night long. Breakfast is good with again lots to choose from, and you are able to make a take away lunch. That's a positive to this ski area, you have a lot of pic-nic areas to eat your own food, and the other places don't make an issue out of it when you do so. Small separate toilet, in so small that if you want to wipe your ass you need to open the door.  In the small bathroom, you can only be there as 1 person, there is a very good shower with shower gel tubes, you find nowadays in every hotel. The beds are ok, semi-hard.  Staff is very friendly, and very active in cleaning everywhere and everything. You don't need to bring your smart clothes as everybody walks around in very casual attire.

A group of 13 of us have just returned from a stay here, for a week skiing in Serre Chevalier. We were "all-inclusive" with Crystal Ski, though it's worth noting that it's not a hotel exclusive to Crystal - the rep does visit sometimes, but there's nothing like a welcome meeting (despite the sign) or an info board. It was great to have a multi national hotel rather than just "brits abroad". We were all very impressed with the hotel, the location was a worry, but it's a very easy walk (5 mins) to the gondola, and there's a lift down the steep part. We paid to store our skis and boots at one of the hire shops - so had heated boots and could walk there in our normal boots, which made it so much easier. The ski area is amazing, it's huge! But worth noting this is the first town/city along the valley, if the gondola up is off they give you a free bus ticket to get along to the middle valley. On our last morning, there was so much snow they had to scrape each carriage, so it was a very slow start. The hotel is probably the nearest to this lift, but is in a bustling working town, so can be a bit noisy outside. The bonus is the walk up to the walled old town, which has quirky shops and restaurants, we loved this. The rooms were comfortable if a bit dark - not enough lights. The bed was good for me, and I like a firm mattress. The toilet is tiny.... hard to close the door on it. We used the sauna most nights, but the pool is freezing, just braved it once. brrr. Our group on the whole loved the buffet food arrangement, you are encouraged to make a packed lunch at breakfast to take for lunch. They supply boxes, bags and cling film for this, and it saved us so much money. The free bar and soft drinks is also a bonus, and wasn't abused, just a welcome bonus. There are 2 rooms with tables and chairs used as lounges, but with hard plastic chairs, it's very much a 6th form common room feel. The bar area is just the hotel entrance, with a couple of tall tables and chairs. It could really benefit from a cozy lounge to relax and play games etc. My biggest issue was the evening meal though, I'm a vegetarian (no fish), and at the buffet, there were only two nights with a hot meal I could eat, plain rice and chicory which was very unappealing. There was plenty of salad and soup, but no hot protein options. The staff offered plain pasta (without sauce) on 2 occasions and, on one night after we spoke with the rep again, I was given six veggie burgers at once. Despite raising concerns, options remained poor, while meat and fish choices were abundant. Given we noted this at booking, a basic vegetarian option should have been provided. My evening meals were very disappointing. But all of the others in my group really enjoyed the choice, Despite this, I had the best week away, but the lack of a good evening meal was such a pity.
