Les 2 Alpes Hotels

The hotel / Apartment is great for skiers who want to hit the slopes straight from their front door. The rooms are a decent size with a kitchen with all the essentials (but no kettle!). The hot water only lasts for 2/3 people. No towels or bed sheets are supplied. There is a shop only a 2 minute walk up the hill which is reasonably priced. There is no hotel staff, only 1 guy who works all different shifts. The location of the hotel is on a great ski route, ideal for beginners as well as more advance skiers. It takes you down to a ski pass booth and 2 chair lifts. The resort of Les Deux Alpes is great. All of the locals are friendly. This hotel is up the hill and about a 15 minute walk from the heart of the resort where all the bars are. The tourist information centre at the bottom of the hill (5 min walk) is very helpful. We spent a week at this hotel over New Years. Because of the location of the hotel, we would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Alba. Spacious, plenty of room and situated at the very beginning of the resort (Les Deux Alpes). A great apartment, good for families. Beautiful kitchen with dishwasher, nice dining area, large dining table, ample living space. The Alba is situated opposite a small supermarket which is very handy. We would definatley go back.

The location of the hotel is the key to whether you will be happy with you're choice of Mecure 1800. It is in 1800 which is almost a separate resort to the main strip with all the bars and resturants. So if your after nightlife then choose somewhere more central. The complex the hotel is in is a little tired but I couldn't fault the staff or the hotel itself. Your access to the lifts (main 1800 lift) is a short walk away, I'm sure in main season you could ski back with a little off piste. There is a bus service which runs to the main village which is a must as otherwise it's a 20 minute walk and uphill on the way back. So if your staying here you really want half board as otherwise your evening options are less than convienent and the hotel charge a premium as your cut off from the competition. If you have a car then none of that is a problem and more of a benefit, u can choose to see as little or as much of the lively centre as you please. Parking for our friends car we found nearby for free. (Not sure if that was due to being end of season). If you can get an all inclusive package and you are happy with the location then I think this hotel is still w good option. The benefit of its location are the views from the breakfast area and that most of the resort can be accessed quickly from the 1800 lift which we found quieter than the others. Do your research and think carefully about this one, sounds obvious but at least you will know what to expect and won't be disappointed.
