Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms seemed a bit outdated compared to the online pictures, and the layout needed improvement, especially during busy times. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location in Briancon offered easy access to skiing and winter activities, but it was just decent overall. The dining options were satisfactory, with a standard continental selection. The facilities of the hotel were modern and clean.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there were some minor issues like unfinished wall boards and a bathroom door handle that needed attention. The small balcony was a nice touch despite the lack of decoration. The street-side location brought some quiet nights, disturbed occasionally by noisy après ski enthusiasts. The hotel could benefit from a facelift.
