We stayed here with another couple for 5 nights in March. Check in was quite a lengthy process, you receive your towels and linen and everyone is checking in at the same time. The apartment itself was clean and suitable for our needs. There is not much room for storage, we had a 2 bedroom which was fine for 4 or us but would have been quite cramped if we had anyone sleeping on the sofa bed in the lounge. The pool is lovely after a day on the slopes, looking out over the mountain and the sauna is another great bonus. Spa is a 5 min walk for any food and there are plenty of restaurants near by. Easy to get onto the slopes or the telebus lift takes you straight down to Plagne Centre. Check out was also slightly complicated as you needed to book an appointment but the reception isn't always manned and we struggled a bit with the language barrier! We would stay here again.…
It was a great apartment that was very spacious compared to other ski apartments. Also there is a slope very close to the building so from any apartment it's easy to get to. But, if you are tall the sofa bed isn't great, despite this, it's easy to get used to. Also, there wasn't an oven which is odd.
When skiing in France I expect small apartment. Well here I got a pleasant surprise, we got more than we expected for the price. And then the staff, some of them don't speak English, but the ones who do they sorted out everything we needed to have a great time. All reservations for activities, usually with some discount, were made from them. Sauna was hot, pool is a bit small for swimmers but big enough to relax muscles after all day of skiing. Shop is close, so is downtown. There is 2-3 minute walk, downhill, to begin skiing, but it is good to warm up before skiing anyway. :) When returning you can ski right to the doors.
Good basic apartment but definately not ski out as advertised and a bit of a chore if you've got kids in ski school uphill. No hairdryers. Had a broken bed for the week. Reliant on guests cleaning and could do with a good deep clean for likes of shower runners and skirting boards etc. Staff were lovely and helpful.
We've stayed at Aspen two years running and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The accommodation is good, the pool is clean and not too cold. It's not mega-luxurious but a darn sight better than other places we've stayed. However, there are things you can do/take to improve your experience: Pack * A couple of extra pillow cases. There are loads of pillows but only one case per person. * Washing up liquid, tea towels, a dishcloth and a handful of dishwasher tablets * WIPES i.e. household cleaning wipes. Even if you pay for 'end of stay cleaning' you are required to clean the kitchen, fridge, microwave and hob. Other things: *If you are going during peak season, bite the bullet and pay for underground parking - it's worth it. *CHECK THE RECEPTION OPENING HOURS - if you are likely to arrive after 8pm it will be closed so be sure to call ahead. *You will have to go outside in order to get to and from the swimming pool. The towels provided are not luxurious so, if you plan to swim a lot, take something to wrap up in. And with that, we wish you a very happy holiday!…
