Hotel l'Ecureuil

We appreciate the hotel might be run differently in winter/ski season, but they are not too welcoming in summer. There are not that many rooms. They advertise in a local booklet with a picture of a very modern, spacious room with normal sized bed(s). Ours was the opposite. I just fitted in the bed (length wise) and it was quite cosy for two. It looks old. There is no air conditioning. We were in the basement (many small steps which are not always easy to spot and low ceiling), which was at garden level at the back. There are no windows to open, just the sliding doors. As it is not secured, you can’t leave that open at night. And no air con. Not optimal. We returned to the hotel around 9pm after dinner in the village. You need a code to get back in and ... nothing is available. And there is no tea/coffee making facility in the room either. We didn’t want to go out again... Around 10pm our neighbours returned to the hotel. It appeared as if they were in our room, but they weren’t. The walls are just waver thin. We didn’t try breakfast, both because it was another Eur14/person which seemed quite expensive for this place and because we left early.

Great placement in the city, friendly staff mostly, quite old and clearly has have its peak. However great stay and would come back

Great family run hotel. Wonderful food. Convenient location.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It was not only very beautiful and clean, but the hosts were also extremely friendly. The breakfast was delicious, and the restaurant impressed us with its excellent dishes. It was especially convenient that they spoke English, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We really liked it here, and if we are in the area again, we will definitely come back!

We spent a few nights in this hotel located not too far away from the center of Auron (10 minutes by foot). The room (twin) was quite small with a very small bathroom where we could hardly move. The comfort was average although the room rate for the week-end is quite high (276€ a night). The breakfast is OK but nothing special. We also had dinner in the hotel and the food was very good. For what it offers, this hotel is expensive.

Here’s the thing , we arrived a day early for or two night stay , hotel was fully booked, without any drama we were offered a very clean studio apartment in the town for one night. Owner and wife are super hosts, so friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed evening meal, cosy open fires, traditional local food, ambient …, need I say more We had 20% off ski hire over the road, resort fabulous great for beginners, great amenities, apres ski etc….. we will be back
