Résidence Odalys Chalet Alpina

I read alot of negative reviews of chalet alpina. I suspect people travelling to a high end resort such as tignes might also expect high end accomodation and therefore in some respects alpina could be found lacking. For my pennies worth I think the accomodation is 2 star (small rooms, tired and basic but servicable), the food is 3 star (hearty pub grub) and the location is 4 star (easy 5 mins walk from the lifts). If you book on this understanding you will not be disappointed. Would recommend.

Came last ski season and it was perfect for us so we came again this year. The two bed apartment works well for us. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of tasty and healthy food. The location is fantastic, really close to the ski lifts and the bars yet it is very quiet. The swimming pool and sauna although not fancy are a real bonus!

Positive points Good location,friendly staff,hot water,buffet breakfast fine,good sweets. Negative points 300 euro deposit;expected to clean room on departure,main course at dinner inedible .Shower didn’t work properly.Rooms mouldy.Wine charged for.Most folks eat out as week progressed.Ski room very cold so take your boots to room. Have went to France at Easter for last 25 years,probably worst hotel ever. Crystal you should be speaking to manag

Appalling in every aspect. Staff unhelpful and rude, food disgusting, Crystal ski reps were rude and useless, room completely unsuitable for number of people booked into them and a complete health hazard with plugs hanging from the wall and a microwave balanced above a Childs bed. Overall absolutely disgusting. I have never left a review on a hotel before but this place is beyond a joke. I think there is a reason there are no reviews since 2019, everyone we spoke to were disgusted with this place so I suspect the reviews are being removed.

We were worried having read some of the reviews and upon arrival our room was not ready at the 5pm check in time, which was disappointing after a very long journey. The first impression of the hotel was that it was dilapidated and frankly needs a lot of TLC. The room was tiny, with no where to put the cases other than on the second bed that we were not using. The bathroom was terrible, with a toilet seat that would not stay open and a shower head that did not stay attached to the holder, leading to it falling on your head/feet during the shower. The ski lockers are not good. They are in an unheated corridor, which was so cold that our bindings were still iced up the next morning! There are no boot driers, which made for unpleasant damp feet each morning as even in the room they did not dry out overnight. However, it wasn't all bad. The room was warm and the water in the rubbish shower was at least hot. The food was the real star of the show and was far better than we had expected from the rest of the place. The location is excellent, right near the lifts. Overall, if you are planning on being out skiing all day and are just looking for a bed and a good meal in a great location then this place is just about ok.

We have just spent a week at Chalet Alpina whilst skiing. We were slightly concerned about staying here from reading previous reviews but were pleasantly suprised about how good everything was. There was plenty of food and choice each day including a salad bar, several different desserts, cheeses and fruit. There was a fish option each night and a vegetarian option. We didn't have a single bad meal all week. There were also gluten free options and soya milk at breakfast. The room we were in was quite small but there are bigger rooms available. However as we are there to go skiing and not to sit in our room all day this wasn't a problem in the slightest. The rooms were clean, very warm, the beds comfy, there was always hot water and they were serviced everyday. The hotel is in an ideal situation with just a 5 minute walk to the lifts. Staff in the hotel were all very polite and helpful. Ski lockers were provided for each room to securely store your skis, but there is no heated boot rack so we just took our boots up to our room.
