Residhotel Les Châtaigniers  

Location not bad at the top of the funicular, staff quite helpful, and accomodating of changing my arrival time.

As has been said by many others, this is a very tatty hotel, which badly needs updating. The room was tiny (about 12 feet square), and didn't actually have real beds - just a sofa with a pull out mattress underneath. The bathroom was also pretty poky, but the shower had plenty of very hot water. You need to know that you are renting an 'apartment', and not a hotel room. You make your own beds, get towels only if you ask, and have to clean the place before you leave, having given the reception a 300EUR deposit on checking in. They don't tell you this on the website (or here), and I would have been annoyed to find this out when I arrived had I not read the reviews beforehand. Basically, I wouldn’t stay here unless nothing else was available. Cleaning the toilet and hoovering the place, then showing the staff around to prove what a good boy I’ve been is not what I want to do when checking out of a hotel while on holiday.

Very good price per person, even when occupied with half of the possible number. From the apartment building skiable access to the slopes. Isola 2000 is à very nice ski resort only an hours drive from Nice. Slopes are great for à few days, especially during weekdays; weekends are crowded. We've been here every other year from 2003 and have an enjoyable affordable snow-secure skiingtrip with a group of guys, flying into Nice.

Apartments are getting dirtier and worn every year. Need refurbishment or even rebuilding to keep up with time. Wifi would also be nice. But still, for this price unbeattable offer!

The thing that attracted us to the hotel was initially the rate, with a young family it is very good in terms of no extra charges for kids (3 ½ yr twins in our case), a kitchen so you can cook (those "larger framed" individuals might struggle with the kitchen !). We got a 6 person apartment although we are only 4 – this gave top floor great view off balcony and a loft where we all slept. ( re arrange beds and mattresses) Location was not really slope side (especially with kids) but a 200m walk to the funicular (free) which takes you to the slopes. Even as a non shopper I thought the long mall type The “Front de Neige” in the resort was great as you can walk along indoors past all the action.

As has been said before – you get what you pay for. Expect to make your own beds, dodgy blankets (not needed this time as apts. were well heated) , cleaning your apt on the day of leaving or 70 Euro cleaning fee, a slight lack of hot water after a day on the slopes, but all in all for the price we paid it was fair. One warning - attempt the stairs to the loft at your own peril after a few beers – I’m sure there must be some EU law against them! Isola is a nice resort but you need to like drag lifts especially as beginners as chairs are scarce on lower slopes.

The view from the balcony.

Doors close at arival, nobody answering the phone for a long time. The rooms need renovation, all furniture, decoration etc. quiete old and ugly, specially by now - end of saison.

Very clean. reasonably equipped. Basic but very affordable self catering unit.

Great location near the pistes, friendly staff and freebies.

Very basic but you get what you pay for!

La dame sympathique et le concept d'autonomie

L'humeur du monsieur!

Le prix très intéressant, avec un départ possible skis aux pieds depuis la résidence.

Le fait de ne pas avoir eu d'eau chaude à notre arrivée,après une bonne journée de ski dans le froid, étant donné que le chauffe eau fonctionne seulement la nuit et que les précédents avaient utilisé toute l'eau chaude. Donc prévoir de mettre le chauffe eau en marche forcée dès l'arrivée car ce n'est pas automatique malheureusement.

La situation géographique, proche des pistes et du funiculaire qui descend en centre de la station est à 2 minutes à pied. On peut même rattraper une piste directement en passant par derrière l'hotel en chaussant les skis au pied de l'hôtel. Le linge de maison était propre, la salle de bains aussi.

Le patron inexistant ? Nous avons été accueillit par la femme de ménage ( heureusement sympathique ), personne n'a été autorisé par le patron à faire une facture j'ai donc du demander pour au final avoir une facture manuelle !!..La literie est abominable, impossible de faire une nuit complète, le mal de dos nous a réveiller presque toutes les heures!!! Chambre double qui n'est pas vraiment double puisque ce sont deux matelas qui ne sont pas a la même hauteur!!!!! Impossible de dormir vraiment ensemble à moins de mettre les matelas par terre !!.. La moquette n'est pas propre je conseil le port de chaussons !!!

l'hotel est proche du funiculaire qui passe toute les 5 min. la navette gratuite s'arette devant trés pratique avec des enfants en bas ages. appartement spacieux avec 3 adultes et 2 enfants en bas ages on avais assez de place.

il manque un micro onde. l'appartement etait surchauffé.

Emplacement, confort, prix

La propreté à désirer
