Sowell Residences Crêt Voland

The apartments are close to the slopes and have good ski in ski out access. They sit up on the hill above Les menuires but there is a handy lift that can take you to and from the Croisette within minutes. The building is tired and has some loose paving at the entrance. The boot room is very small and awkward and is a squeeze when more than two people are in the room. The apartment was spacious and had nice views to the mountains. Unfortunately, the accommodation lost points because I was bitten by something during the night and there were odd smears on the sheets and little black dots. There was also a musty/damp smell in the room which we couldn’t get rid of even after leaving the window open. Unfortunately the place doesn’t look like the photos.

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever had the unfortunate pleasure to stay at. We arrived and the reception was closed, We had to collect the bedding from reception and take to our studio room. The room had just 1 sofa bed which was terrible. The bathroom was falling apart and rotten. The boot room was a disgusting, difficult to get to paint falling from the ceiling, small. The over powering smell of dog faeces by the entrance to the apartment was truly disgusting and having to dodge it daily was appalling, paving slabs broken and everything was rundown and dirty. The patio door to the balcony was broken and wouldn’t lock. We also had to clean the rooms at 2 am before we left and return the bedding. I don’t think places like this existed anymore

Read the reviews before we went and have to say we were a little worried. Upon arrival staff were very friendly and helpful and throughout our stay. The entrance to our building was a little scruffy but with foot traffic all with ski boots on it was to be expected. We had a studio flat at the end of the corridor so lovely and quiet,beautiful views(obviously). Spotlessly clean well equipped kitchen,fair sized wardrobe with ironing board mop and bucket,broom. Bathroom good size with a bath and shower. Large double sofa bed which I have to say was actually very comfortable and did look new. Welcome essential pack with a scourer& cloth one dishwasher tablet,one bin liner and one sachet of cleaning fluid for washing floors which we used at the end of the stay.I would say do your own clean at the end of the stay so as not to have a cleaning bill. Shops on the ground floor of the apartments good selection,and a funicular to the main shops and restaurants in the centre at the back of apartments. The reason we chose here was the ski In ski out which was good We have stayed in various accommodation in the alps over the years and would say we would return.Very functional and no frills. I would say great location good value for money

We booked this as it was advertised with Crystal Ski as a 4 star hotel. It is more like a two star hotel, with both those stars being for its location. The reception staff are rude and unwelcoming - especially to English guests. Impolite and unprepared to help - not a great first impression. The hotel is run down and communal areas (corridors, ski room, lifts) are dirty and falling apart. Room was a good size, the bathroom was the best feature. Again, room was not very clean and the sofa bed was more then overdue being replaced. Pool was cold and sad - I would just avoid it really. All in all, quite a poor standard of accommodation but a great location.

The hotel was poorly maintained, doors falling off or not locking. The room was extremely small. The bed was very uncomfy. Only one set of towels and bedding for the week. Spoke to the staff about the issues with the room and they did absolutely nothing about this.

A fuir.....! Literie ? Un canapé lit, si vous aimez être réveillé à chaque fois que votre conjoint bouge, et si vous acceptez sentir les structures métalliques et mal dormir... Le personnel est incohérent, les informations données pour notre départ sont erronées, nous avons du attendre pour rien. Nous sommes partis 2 jours plus tôt, et avons gâché nos vacances. Aucune idée de savoir d’où viennent ces 4**** annoncées, c'est faux !

cours passage sur les menuires pour profiter d'un peu e fraicheur ce week end. accueil au top et appartement très sympa, propre et fonctionnel. et une vue sur la vallée splendide !! dommage de devoir repartir aussi vite pour retourner travailler .......

Merci à Christine et Jean-Yves pour leur accueil et à Laëtitia pour la réservation de notre séjour. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine. Les photos sont conformes au site : grand appartement avec balcon et vue montagne. Station offrant des transports en commun gratuits dont une à Val Thorens. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Bon séjour pour profiter jusqu’au dernier moment des pistes, dommage que tous les commerces de la galerie ne joue pas le jeu comme SOWELL car ca devient tristoune quand ion se promène Pas eu le temps de profiter de la piscine donc on va etre obliger de revenir
