Hôtel Club mmv Altitude Arc 2000

Positives: - friendly staff - room cleaned every day Negatives: - reception isn’t 24/7, no help other than at key times in the morning and evening (not sure what would happen if you lost your room key) - lift; only one and constantly in use leading to long waits daily. - food: some nights better than others but overall disappointing and mostly poor quality - noise: rooms small and lots of noise at all hours - if you go in school holidays be prepared for lots of children. We often do this but it was more noticeable here. 5 min walk to lifts Overall I will not be coming back to this hotel and would struggle to recommend it to anyone other than perhaps a large group looking for a cost effective option.

Great room and location. A lively and busy hotel. There is always something going on in the evening. The room was small but comfy. Amazing views over the valley to Mon Blanc. Buffet food had a great choice, and the food was tasty, but unfortunately most dishes were cold. It's a shame as this would be easy to manage. Better opting for the cook to order options. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great opportunity to ski half day on arrival due to early check in.

We are a family four, kids ages 13 and 12 stayed here during half term for skiing. It was a last minute booking so did not much chance to read the reviews prior to booking. Upon reading the reviews, our expectations are low as most of the reviews were not great. But it certainly was better than expected. It is definitely a family friendly hotel but geared mostly for young French speaking families. The staff are very helpful and friendly especially the kitchen staff. There’s a good selection of buffet food including vegetarian with at least 3 options for main course plus good salad buffet, and pasta and pizza. There was actually one night where I think there was no meat option at all which I did not mind. The food gets replenished quickly. There was an ice cream stand and lots of pudding selection also. Breakfast buffet selection is good with continental and hot breakfast (baked beans, scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon). Every afternoon between 4.30-5pm, they have free cakes/donuts/cookies for everyone in the bar. There is a ski rental in the hotel although there is another one just outside the hotel. If you are hiring skis and boots, make sure you know your height and weight as they don’t have a height measurement tool or a weighing scale. The ski lockers are good but could do with more benches to sit on and the lockers are not actually heated so the boots are still damp in the morning. The bedrooms are small and narrow. We booked two twins bedrooms so we have a bit more space. I don’t recommend a triple room as I imagine would be tight. The only toiletry provided is a small bar of soap and a shampoo bar. There provided plenty of toilet paper and our rooms are cleaned every day. They change the towels every Tuesday and Thursdays. My only complaint is the noise. They have nightly entertainment with loud music til 11pm and there is no escape from it. It can be heard in your bedroom. The entertainment starts from 6pm which is a disco for young children then something for older children later on but it’s all in French. So if you want a quiet drink in the bar or play your own board game with the family, there is no where to do it. The swimming pool is freezing cold. The sauna and steam room could be hotter. Location wise, I would say it is about 10 minute walk to a button lift and there is a lift which would take you up to the main Arc2000. Walking back is an uphill walk plus carrying your skis so I absolutely dread it. For ski school, they provide a van for the kids to take them to the nursery slopes. It isn’t a ski in ski out hotel. I absolutely don’t recommend it if you are particular with location being close to the lifts as I don’t think it is.
