Victoria Lodge, Friendly Hotel

The hotel is situated at the La Fornet side of Val disere, bus to and from 2 min walk almost right outside tbh. The boot room is a great garage under the building heated etc. On arrival, the excellent and welcoming staff see to your rooms, etc, can't fault at all. The manager is so helpful he stopped almost every night for a chat, Matis at the bar again was very helpful never a dull moment. The food every night was different and quickly served no waiting for an age!. The breakfast was the same every morning but plenty to choose from. I saw a complaint on here but thought do you ever get such a choice at home? why would you complain? The place is friendly and spotless.The room was made up every day and new towels,This platform allows you to say what you think I told the manager i wished to complain the hotel was too good! we loved our stay here it was so easy ,I didnt talk to anyone who had a bad stay, This is not a 3-star hotel !I have stayed in hotels that are better than this on paper and have nicer rooms maybe? but i have never had such nice friendly and attentive service than this,this is my experience thank you Victoria Lodge

Like the title says, I was not expecting much when I booked this hotel last minute. The first tip that I was in for a nice surprise was the WhatsApp welcome I received. That served as a very reliable way to make my way to the hotel and learn Val d’isere when necessary. Room was clean, well organized and cleaning services very efficient. Ski reservation discount and room at hotel with heaters for boots was key. The restaurant was the second surprise. Good was great and I didn’t have to worry about the reservations … people haven’t discovered it yet. I can’t say enough about the staff. Always smiling and willing to help. To be clear this is not uber luxury (no lotion or conditioner) and it is just outside of city center but I would not hesitate to stay here again. Right on the bus line or about 8 min walk to the center. Well done Victoria staff (Octavie & Mathilde)!

This is an Amazing hotel The staff are great The bar is great And the restaurant is outstanding What a great experience. My second visit and I will be back Again and again! Merci and a fab location near the bus too Great breakfast And a fab spa too!!

Having stayed in Val D’isere and other French resorts before, this hotel was without a doubt the best so far, not sure how it isn’t at least 4*. The staff were very polite and honestly couldn’t do enough. I proposed to my partner whilst out in Val and the manager put a candle lit dinner on in a private part of the restaurant and picked out a menu just for us. Room - We stayed in a double room with no balcony. The room was quite small, however we spent minimal time in there so this wasn’t an issue and was as described so can’t complain. It was however very clean with the bed being changed daily, towels changed when left out and tea/coffee refilled regularly. Food - Breakfast was the usual buffet with coffee machines available also. Cakes were provided at this time also to be taken up the mountain to save having to come back down in the afternoon which was a nice touch (recommend the banana bread). Dinner was a 3 course meal each evening, clean plates from us everyday. Lots of ingredients from local farms which was nice to see. Staff - All staff seemed very happy and were very attentive. Special shout out to the male manager (name escapes me but he wore a scarf inside irrelevant of the temperature) he made our engagement day even more special and seemed to work 24/7. Amenities - Although our room didn’t have a balcony there are large balconies on each floor accessible to anyone with furniture for a morning brew or evening drink watching the snow bashers. Communal areas with games, beanbags and a fire were lovely. Spa was very clean with a jacuzzi and sauna, can be booked the day before and you are allowed a 30 minute slot. Receptionist allowed us to stay in for an hour + or so on the last day whilst we were waiting for our transfer which she didn’t need to do. I heard some people complain because the boot room was communal, no complaints from us rarely saw anyone else in there and was much easier than cramming the skis in a little cupboard, room is also covered with CCTV. Location - Next door to the hotel is a Spar, pizza shop and ski hire. We used the ski shop next door which was very handy for picking up/dropping off kit. Bus to the slopes is a 30 second walk and 2 minute bus drive. We for sure will be back. Overall resort - Val is a special place for us, even more special now. We ski’d everyday as the weather was great. Shops to get anything you need and loads of restaurants. Hate to say but on this occasion the Folie was not as good as last time or as good as Val Thorens - we gave this a miss after the first few days and went straight to Coco Rico.

This hotel is more like a 4 star hotel than a 3 the rooms are modern clean and comfortable, the staff are really helpful and so accommodating and lovely, and the food is fabulous we will be back next year, we had a wonderful stay many thanks

Fantastic hotel with super access to the slopes (and bus stop at 2mins outside). The most amazing and genuinely cheerful and friendly staff. Excellent room; spacious, super clean, and very functional for skiing, best ever comfortable large hotel bed! Large bath, great shower. Ski locker room superb. Very nice ambience, lounge rooms and bar to relax in, all with mountain views. Excellent fresh breakfast selection. Evening meal good choice including vegetarian. Would love to visit again! 👍🤘👏🤩
