Hotel Le Gentiana, Tignes Le Lac, France

We booked a last minute Ski trip to the Gentiana on the 2nd March for 1 week, on a half board basis! The hotel is on a small incline from the main area, but easy accessible for all walks of life. The hotel from the outside is beautiful, built in a traditional wooden structure which is also complimented internally. The hotel staff (Paul) was superb throughout, very polite and helpful. As the first to check in, Paul allocated room 104 and suggested that this was possibly the best room for quietness and practicality for showering purposes. However, the view was limited and the room was small and stuffy! The rooms were cleaned each morning and in general the hotel was spotless throughout. The breakfast is continental, (NO COOKED BACON ETC) however , if you were lucky some uncooked 'boiled' eggs were the nearest to anything hot! The evening meals were somewhat 'Very French' if that's what you like. So be prepared for small portions and acquired tasting to say the least, however very edible. Overall, a great location for ski lifts and the town, but we wouldn't rush back to the hotel i'm afraid.

Apres Ski: 3/5
Accommodation & Value: 3/5
