Unfortunately, our stay at Chalet RoyAlp was far below expectations and absolutely not worth the price. We booked one of the hotel apartments and it was extremely dirty upon arrival. We found black hairs in almost all the closets from previous guests, and the drawers were visibly dirty. Even after requesting cleaning, it was done very poorly. The bed sheets and towels still did not look clean, even after we specifically asked for them to be changed. If you are a germophobe, I strongly do not recommend this place.
The service was very weak overall. You have to ask for everything — even still water is not provided unless requested. There is no proper late-night room service. What made this worse is that the room had a late dinner service brochure, but when we called to order, we were told it was outdated and incorrect. They said the only options available were pasta with red sauce and a cheese board. We reluctantly agreed, and the food arrived cold, with cold bread, cold cheese, and a sweet, unpleasant-tasting pasta. Completely unacceptable and far from anything resembling a luxury hotel.
Management appeared careless and unorganized, and communication was a constant issue. The staff’s English is very limited, which led to repeated misunderstandings and having to explain ourselves multiple times.
The hotel itself is very small, with little to do besides skiing in the same limited area and walking around a tiny village. The people working at the hotel were not welcoming, and the service felt cold and inefficient.
The worst part was the chalet we stayed in — despite being one of the “best” options, it was uncomfortable and poorly equipped. There is no minibar, the coffee is bad, and there are no coffee flavors or syrups for those who care. Even the sugar sachets looked random, as if they were collected from different restaurants and thrown together.
Overall, this was a bad experience that we will never repeat. This is not a luxurious destination at all — very average at best and barely qualifies as a proper hotel. I do not recommend this hotel or this village.
