Hôtel Daria-I Nor by les Etincelles

Fantastic hotel, food, service, spa and facilities in general. Highly recommended with perfect location as a few steps from gondola and close to shops. I’ll be back!

High quality accommodation (we stayed in the self catering apartments). Modern, comfortable, warm, with great access to everywhere... the slopes, Apple express lift and the town. The sauna, pool, steam room were an excellent addition and we used daily to unwind. So convenient for everywhere (although access to the Alpe Express for Self Catering guests could be improved, as hotel guests can walk straight through the shop, but we couldn't!) The accommodation itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed & pillow were soo comfortable. We stayed as a couple but maybe could feel a bit cramped for 4 people (if 2 others were using the sofa bed in the lounger/diner area). Staff were very friendly and helpful... sorted a slight problem with our bathroom as soon as it was reported. Very happy with our stay and would highly recommend to others. :-)

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The quality of the room was great, plenty of storage and nice amenities. The spa is very nice and as it’s open most of the day it was easy to find quiet times to visit. Breakfast was very good. We ate in the bar once and that was nice, but a little expensive for what we had. We also ate in the restaurant one evening as the weather was bad and we didn’t want to go out, and the food was a bit underwhelming so glad we weren’t on half board. It wasn’t bad, just not great for the price compared to restaurants in the resort. The ski shop is really good, not expensive compared to other shops of comparable quality in the area and really convenient. The gondola access is amazing. I hate carrying my skis for more than about 30 seconds so the access straight onto the gondola towards Bergers was perfect. We also used it in the other direction to generally get around the town. It’s free to use without a ski pass. My two recommendations to make things perfect would be: Start turndown service a little earlier in the evening. Maybe it was because of where our room was but we would only get turndown after 9pm, sometimes as late as 9.45pm. We missed it 4 out of 7 nights because we’d already settled in for the evening and didn’t want to be disturbed. Maybe it’s just that we’re lame and don’t tend to stay out late but having it 7-8pm would be better. When we did have it, it was really good though, as was the general cleaning each day. The ski shop kindly took our boots on the last day to clean them and said they’d be in reception and then delivered to us. This was a nice idea but in reality we asked reception several times for our boots and initially nobody knew they were there, then we were given the wrong ones. Finally my husband just got them from reception himself. We were staying really close to the ski shop, it honestly would’ve been easier for them to stay there! Great idea but needs some better comms and system to get it right. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel
