My second time staying in Flaine in consecutive years. This is not what I'd class as a hotel but private apartments that are used for tourism during the ski season. The room is large, divided into 2 spaces, the living space consisting of studio kitchen, eating and lounge space, and then the large sleeping space which in our case was made up of 2 single beds and a bunk bed. There is of course also a bathroom as you enter the apartment. We were on the ground floor and had a balcony area looking out towards the resort and mountains. Central Flaine is split over two levels, Foret and Forum. The apartment is located in Foret on the upper half of the resort. We had a real struggle to find the place on first arrival as the name "Reservation" is not the name of any hotel, using the Expedia app for directions it took us to the wrong location, which was eventually sorted by phoning the number given and getting directions - it wasn't the best start to the week long stay - however writing this review those issues have largely been forgotten. We were a group of three adults and found the accommodation fine for our needs. Just don't expect hotel standard accommodation. You get what you pay for and this represents reasonably good value for money. I'm undecided whether I'd rush to book it again, if I was on the same budget next year then probably yes. After all it just where you spend a small amount of time in between hitting the excellent slopes.
