Hotels near Portes de l'Hiver, Val-d'Illiez

I stayed for 3 nights. Service was excellent. Rooms are clean, bed and pillows are comfy, shower is nice and warm. The air in Champery is very clean you just feel invigorated breathing. The spa is something else! Hamam, sauna, warm relaxing pool with massage, cold pool, Scottish showers, included in the standard accommodation price. Breakfast is quite good (maybe add fried eggs besides boiled eggs), coffee selection is great and the bread is amazing.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the hotel in terms of both hard and soft product. The hotel and its surroundings are very well kept and everyone in the hotel is extremely helpful. The lobby, spa, pool and rooms are all very well thought of and beautifully decorated. Unlike the rest of the Europe they don’t seem to be short on staff and every request is handled quickly and with care. The only thing I would want to see in the future is some changes to their rooms. As many families with small children visit this hotel they absolutely need to put minibars in their rooms. No one wants to go the bar they have on every floor or call for room service for a glass of milk or some baby food in the middle of the night. Also our room did not have a physical door for the shower room, I do not know about you but I don’t like my little children running in and out as I am trying to have a shower. Also no locks on their toilet door which was a seperate area. These minor things however do not take anything away from the 5 stars this property deserves.

Having previously stayed in chalets for our family ski holidays (our son is now 9) we felt a hotel would fit our needs better for our 5 night stay. I found this hotel on the internet, booked direcetly as it offered the best price. We did our own transfers from Geneva airport using the train, then changing to the tram in Bex, the hotel did point out before arrival that the train to Aigle then the bus was slightly quicker, but we prefered the tram option. This was all easy to book on line with the swiss train network and is much more cost effective than a car/taxi transfer. Our was around £150 return for the 3 of us. We also booked our ski pass, ski hire and our sons ski lessons directly on line, the hotel did offer on our arrival but I'm sure it would have been at a premium. On arriving at 2pm our room wasn't quite ready, as check in was from 3pm. But this did give us opportunity to collect our ski passes from one of the automated machines using the QR code, and collect our hired skis from the shop next to the hotel 'Sports House' who were very friendly and helpful. The hotel has ski lockers for your boots and skis Once checked in we took our suitcases to our room, (there wasn't an offer of any help) having been up since 3am and clearly looking tired! Our room was a superior double (single beds pushed together) and a camp type bed for our 9 year old son. I had read that some found the hotel noisy, our room was on the -0 level just 1 storey high, so nobody above and hardly and passing people so it was perfect and quiet, other than party goers coming home at 2 am most mornings (not the hotels fault) The room was beautiful, spacious and clean. Strangley in the lobby/wardrobe area it had a fabulous tiny kitchen with a microwave, full sized undercounter fridge, hob and sink. There was 4 plates, bowls and cutlery but no kettle or pans. We used the fridge to cool the water etc. I would be lovely if they included a kettle, but I guess they want the spend in the hotel not people making tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was delicous, and a good choice of hot/cold. The ski lift was a short bus ride away, the bus stop just outside the hotel, so easy to get to the lifts. We ate out at local resturants all but 1 evening when we ate at Peppino's, the pizza was very nice indeed. We had hot chocolates in the hotel bar on two occasions, and got overcharged on both occasions, until I pointed out the error. We used the swimming pool 3 times, it was lovely to swim after a day on the slopes, the hotel provided dressing gowns and towels. Our room was cleaned each day by the time we got back in from skiing, we did end up with a huge amount of towels, they left clean but never took used away! The hotel loaction for the village is excellent, a few minutes walk to the local resturants and the co-op. We didn't really have any negatives on our trip, we knew it would be expensive to eat out, and it was. The cheapest item on most menus, pizza or bolognese was arou

(+) Campanile is a perfect mid-range option, if you want to stay in the central part of Martigny. You will like the bed, if soft matress and soft pillow is what you prefer. There is a coffee machine in the room. Breakfast is 15CHF but you get various options: omelette, bacon, sausages, cereals, yogurt, fruits, cheese, salami, fresh pastry, coffee, fresh orange juice. We went to the mountains and every day we could get hot water in our thermos. The personnel is friendly and helpful but not all speak English. Parking is on the back side of the hotel and free of charge. AC is well placed and does not blow into the face, as you can see in other hotels. The hotel has a couple of chilling areas, where you can read or drink a beer. It has good sound proofing windows and totally dark curtains. If you wish to drink a beer or wine, Sunset bar is just downstairs. There is also a restaurant specialized on beef on the ground floor. A few nice restaurants are in the walking distance (10-15 min). (-) Unfortunately, there is no fridge in the room. The view is not so nice. We stayed in room 205 and had a window to parking.

The room was really big, clean and well decorated. The kitchen was really complete and very nice to use. Bathroom was also big and clean. It is very well located, it close by restaurants and supermarkets. The only downside is the noise from the church bell in the mornings. But other than that I highly recommend.

Hello, We just spent few days in this hotel and it was a pleseant discovery: very centrally located, 5minutes distance from the main skilifts access, very nice food options at restaurant, friendly staff, decent room. We will definitely consider it again in the future. It is ideal for family with kids.

The hotel was much better than I imagined. A great stay for Christmas. A very comfortable stay, reception very helpful. My e.u 2 point plug didn't fit as swiss is 3 point plug and Reception lent me their convertor plug the whole duration.. i took the half board option as we went for skiing and travelling and would sometimes be out in the day. The breakfast was plentiful. A range of continental and bacon and eggs. Various options for evening meal. Good location, with great views and a short 10 minute walk to the slopes, however there is a free bus to go up and down to Leysin village . A 10 minute walk to the train station in the opposite direction. We tried the toboggan park whilst there too. I travelled as a single female with 2 children and my stay couldn't of been more welcoming and at ease.
