Reviews for Le Pic Blanc

Review 1：1) The food was a big issue for our group. I had e-mailed the hotel when we were first booking to check that they could cater for a Coeliac (requiring gluten-free) and a Vegetarian and was told it was not a problem. It was a BIG PROBLEM! I was assured most food was gluten-free, and apart from the occasional slip (like serving me soup with croutons) I had no issues - I just skipped any course not suitable (like dessert). However, my son-in-law is a vegetarian, 6'3" and 26 years old, so a bowl of soup, a plate of lettuce and a few vegetables just didn't satisfy him after a day's skiing! Despite 2 months' notice, speaking to reception twice and making a fuss on our second evening, they still seemed surprised each evening when we asked for a vegetarian option. The waiting staff were mainly very understanding - 2 waitresses apologised when serving him a meagre plate of vegetables. The problem seemed to be in the kitchen - the chef seemed reluctant to make anything special, and we always felt we were a problem they'd rather not deal with. Vegetarians may be rare in France, but they shouldn't have accepted our booking if they weren't prepared to cater for us! The New Year's Eve meal was the exception - they produced a complete vegetarian menu. Otherwise we dreaded going into dinner, knowing we could be in for more complaining. I would not go to this hotel again and do not recommend it to anyone with a dietary requirement. 2) A few things in the public areas were not finished, for example shower at pool not working, lack of signs on doors in ski locker area etc, but suspect renovations were not completely finished. 3) It took us over half an hour when checking out to sort out our bill - it was itemised on a per day basis and the rate changed during the week - we, of course, didn't want to pay more than we'd been quoted on Booking.com! It was fine in the end.

Review 2：1)The property had recently been renovated and the bedrooms and public spaces were tastefully decorated to a high standard. 2)The food was generally of a very high standard, especially the 7 course New Year's Eve dinner. 3) Good location for skiing, handy public car park (free) opposite. 4) Reception staff were helpful. 5)The spa was nice, though they don't tell you on the website that there's a charge of 12 euro per person per hour for use of jacuzzi, steam room & sauna.

Review 3：The views ,location , the staff and the breakfast were wonderful . The Hotel has been refurbished and to a high standard . Great Wifi in the Hotel , but uploads were difficult at times

Review 4：Poor standard of evening meal, limited choice and not great food, very dated style and small portions after a days skiing Unheated dirty boot room- never cleaned Hotel decor in major need of modernisation, overall look of rooms, lobby and lounge very dated, 20-30 years old Not enough plug sockets in rooms for charging phones, only one socket in whole room No tea or coffee making facilities in room Staff were not very friendly or helpful at all Wifi was very poor, very slow to stream

Review 5：Nice swimming pool and sauna in basement Nice location 50m from lift Rooms had nice big double bed which was comfy

Review 6：The room was lovely, the views were stunning and we were only 100m from the main lifts. Friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Review 7：Service throughout the hotel remarkably poor at many levels, particularly at dinner. Insufficient towels available for leisure facilities which were very basic and pool water cloudy. Low value for money.

Review 8：Hotel well situated with short walk to main lifts. Good size comfortable rooms. Receptionist Valerie very helpful with amendments to booking prior to arrival and also arranging that our 5 rooms were adjacent. Thanks.

Review 9：Internet speed was very disappointing, just enough to view a few websites, no good at all for any streaming of music or video at all.

Review 10：Great french dinners with great service!

Review 11：The hot tub was broken the entire week we were there, even though Booking.com listed this location with a jacuzzi (and they did not offer us any sort of discount to compensate for this). The swimming pool was very cold, so this was a big disappointment given that having an apres-ski hot tub is why we selected this hotel. The place is very close to the slopes (5-8 minute walk), but most of the good restaurants/bars are on the other side of town (not too far, about a 15 minute walk). If you are planning to enjoy some of the town's nightlife, you might be better of staying in Jeux, Vieil Alpe or Cognet. Also the wifi is spotty at best. It works in the lobby but not really in the rooms. The restaurant is okay, it serves a decent (basic) breakfast, but I would recommend some of the other great restaurants in town before eating there for dinner.

Review 12：The hotel staff was very friendly and the hotel is very close to the slopes. The room was clean and relatively large. The view of the slopes is also great. The ski/boot room is conveniently located in the front of the building (not in the basement like some places).

Review 13：Great location next to the ski lift, ski hire, shops and restaurants. Very friendly staff at the hotel which also has a bar you can relax in, a log fire and leather lounges. Spoilt for choice at breakfast with views to the mountains from the breakfast room. Would come back and stay.

Review 14：The swimming pool was a little bit cold for my preference and the jacuzzi was out of service. Also, there were no towels in the pool area.

Review 15：The half board rate gave us an excellent four course meal each night. I was expecting a buffet and the quality of the food and table service was generally very high. For NYE the hotel provided free drinks and a 8 course tasting menu for no extra charge - I was thoroughly impressed!

Review 16：The wifi didn't work properly all the time.

Review 17：Excellent location, great views of the surrounding mountains, friendly staff. The room was specious, with a balcony overlooking the resort. The staff was more than helpful and did its best to accommodate all our requests. The food in the restaurant was very good. It's an excellent place to go if you are with kids. We intend to return in the future.

Review 40：the location swimming pool/sauna

Review 41：1, bring your own kettle for the room. 2, The evening meal was hit andmiss, the first night they were booked out. Then when we got in we wereput in a side part and there was no menu, just a fixed meal. My partnerwas a vegitarian and it was the meal minus the meat as a solution.
