Les Sherpas is located pretty high up in Courchevel 1850. Which means that it is located quite conveniently if you don't want to spend time getting to the ski lifts. It's a four star hotel with a log cabin flair - and a good hotel, no doubt.
Maybe my three star rating is a little tough, I admit - because I can't really say any really negative things about it. The main reason why I don't feel I can't go any higher is because of the prices you have to expect in Courchevel. I think that the four star rating is a little bit generous, and the regular prices of 500 to 600 Euros per night are quite steep. I know, it's Courchevel, and the prices are generally astronomic, but still, it's a lot of money.
The rooms aren't big, but not too small, they aren't very stylish, but always clean and well kept, the breakfast isn't spectacular, but fresh and sufficient, the wifi is sometimes extremely slow, but it's for free, the pool is a little small, but at least they have one. Clearly, the friendly, helpful, prompt, and courteous service is great, without a "but".
Clearly, I did enjoy my stay. I have absolutely nothing to complain. Maybe I stayed in one of the really good places in Courchevel - judging by the service we got at most of the restaurants in Courchevel, I actually suspect that this is one of the friendliest hotels in town.
And maybe, if I could get a sense of price/quality in other places in Courchevel, I might have to revise my judgement. If you do go to Courchevel, do compare. If you find this place ok priced in comparison to other ones, and want to be sure that you stay in a nice and friendly hotel, consider this one. read more
