Detailed Reviews
We have stayed at this delightful hotel numerous times as you cannot fault it. It
is family run and this tells in the sincere welcome you get every time we stay. The staff are always cheerful and friendly and are only too happy to help in anyway they can.
The hotel is situated in Chatel which makes it in a great position to visit the shops and restaurants nearby. There is also a supermarket right opposite the hotel.
This hotel is very tastefully decorated and elegantly furnished. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the amenities are great for a small hotel. There is an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a jacuzzi, a steam room and a small gym. They have a boot room with each hotel room having their own locker to store your skis and boots. They also offer a lift to the slopes each morning in their minibus. If you don’t want this The ski bus stop is just down some steps from the hotel. The hotel has its own ski hire shop in the boot room area if you need to hire any equipment.
The breakfast is excellent. Also the dining room has great views overlooking the mountains. There is a wide choice of hams, cheeses, pastries, yogurts and also they will prepare you an omelette, fried eggs, pancakes etc. to be honest there is so much food on offer you don’t really need to stop for lunch as the breakfast keeps you going all day.
I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Hence why we return twice a year!

Such a lovely place. Very friendly and accommodating staff, comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast and nice pool/sauna/hammam area. Shuttle service every morning if your want to go to a different lift than the closest one, and the local ski bus stops just outside. Highly recommended.

The Macchi is a traditional hotel with cute and cosy rooms. I stayed with my 2 children and it was a good stay. The room was a bit too hot and difficult to adjust the temperature in and I would have asked for clean glasses and coffee refills more often. Otherwise the service is excellent and if you stay here make sure you book a massage - the therapists are a credit to their profession.

We felt this hotel was tired, spa only open from 4pm so if you want to relax in the day you can’t. Bar was very overpriced, 12 euro for a pint of larger.
Breakfast was overpriced and the quality (stale bread) and range of food was minimal.
Light bulbs missing in the room, body wash in shower was empty and never filled up. No drawers in the room & no where to hang & dry wet ski ware.

Dear Mrs Lornas, We thank you for message. When our guests arrive, we inform them of the opening hours and facilities available. We can't respond on a case-by-case basis, as we have to maintain a certain standard of conduct. We regret that you did not find our breakfast pleasant, as most of our products are prepared in-house. In the future, please do not hesitate to ask the housekeeping team to do so, for example. They will be happy to answer your request. Kind regards Thomas Charles

We have been staying in the hotel Macchi for skiing trips many times and are never disappointed. The location of the hotel is excellent being close to the town and ski slopes with superb views of the mountains. The staff are so welcoming and helpful we can’t recommend it enough.

A very pleasant hotel with welcoming and helpful staff. We had no Wifi access in our room though other rooms had no problems accessing it. The buffet breakfast was good but rather expensive. The on-site parking was very welcome.

This review covers just the restaurant as we were not staying at the hotel. The initial service was good as we arrived at 7pm and were one of only two tables in the restaurant being served. The food was great and the service was prompt. However, as the restaurant began to fill up, our waiter seemed to abandon us in favour of serving all the other tables instead. Having finished our main courses at around 8pm, our plates were never cleared before we decided to leave at after 8.30pm. The extraordinary thing was that the waiter was seating other diners, taking their orders, serving their meals and clearing their plates while walking past our table where it was obvious we had finished our meal and were ready for the next course. It was almost that, after having served us the main course, his job was done, or that he deliberately ignored us. The terrible service ruined what had initially seemed was going to be a lovely meal and evening. If the Hotel Macchi really wants to maintain its reputation as a luxury hotel-spa and restaurant, it should train its staff better.

The hotel Macchi is a dream. All the location is so beautiful and so well decorated that seems to be in a cozy elf village. The team and all the Macchi family are kind and passionate about their job. The breakfast superb and dinner high level of cooking. Maybe the family room little tiny for 4 people. The quality of bed sheet and towel really high. We had such a good time here so we will come back for sure!!!
