The hype
Travelers love the 'affordable luxury' of the pool and spa access, but the noise levels are the single biggest divider between 5-star and 1-star reviews.
La Folie Douce Hotels
$150-350/ 泊
以下の場合は予約してください You want a high-energy, ski-in/ski-out base camp where the après-party happens on your doorstep and you can crash in style (or on a budget).
人々が愛する理由
- Unbeatable location: Ski-in/ski-out at the Savoy lift and a 2-minute walk to town
- Democratized luxury: Hostel prices with 4-star amenities (pool, spa, gym) included for everyone
- The vibe: It’s a literal palace turned party hub with aerial dancers, DJs, and a buzzing terrace
クイックテイク: It’s a loud, chaotic, glorious circus that somehow manages to be both a party hostel and a family resort—just don't expect a silent night before 11pm.
@thegemmafox によるレビュー: I stayed here for a weekend and the energy is unmatched. Soaking in the heated pool while looking at the mountains was a highlight, but the evening parties by the fire pit were the real game-changer. It's the perfect mix of chill and fun for a group trip.

Reality check
The 'Access' (3-star) rooms are genuinely tiny (18m²) and basic—think 'fancy dorm' rather than 'hotel suite'—so manage your space expectations.
- You live for après-ski and want to stumble from the bar to your bed
- You are a group of friends splitting a bunk room but want spa access
- You are a family who wants a kids' club and easy ski school access (right outside)
清潔さと保守管理
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally reliable, though some guests report rushed cleaning during peak turnover days.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are typically spotless but utilitarian in the lower tiers. Grout and tiles are well-maintained.
- Maintenance: The hotel was renovated recently (2018), so major fixtures are in good shape, though hallway carpets see heavy traffic.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white. Premium rooms get fluffier towels and robes; Access rooms get standard hotel issue.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like their signature fragrance (pleasant); hallways can occasionally smell like damp ski gear or party aftermath.

予約前に

FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is the pool actually warm?
Yes, it's heated to around 26-28°C (79-82°F) year-round, which feels great in the snow but might be chilly for some just standing around.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Pets are strictly forbidden inside the hotel rooms and common areas, though they are allowed on the outdoor terrace.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. It costs ~€21-24 per person. It's a massive, high-quality buffet ('La Petite Cuisine'), but you can find cheaper coffee and croissants in town.
What is the difference between Access and Premium rooms?
Access (3-star) rooms are smaller (18m²), simpler decor, and often have bunk beds. Premium (4-star) are larger (20m²+), have robes, slippers, coffee machines, and nicer finishes.
Is there parking?
Yes, underground parking is available for ~€25/night, but it has limited spots and electric chargers. You MUST book this via email before arrival.
Do hostel guests get towels?
Yes, towels and linens are provided even in the dorms, but you might want to bring your own lock for the storage.
インサイダー情報
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast once and walk 5 mins to 'Moody Coffee Roasters' for the best flat white in town.
- ✨
The 'Kids' Palace' is surprisingly good—it's not just a room with a TV, they have actual activities and entertainers during school holidays.
- ✨
You can rent your ski gear directly in the hotel shop (often easier than hauling it from town), but book online in advance for a discount.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡The 'Access' rooms have a very distinct 'hospital' vibe in the bathrooms—clean but sterile white tile.
💡There is a 'resort tax' of roughly €2.50-4.60 per person/night added at checkout.
💡The outdoor pool closes seasonally (usually Nov-Dec) for maintenance—check dates if you're booking shoulder season.
💡You have to pay extra for a late check-out (€10/hour), and they are strict about the 11am cutoff.
💡The 'ski-in' is a green slope (Savoy), so it's very flat—snowboarders might have to unstrap and walk the last 50 meters.
