We stay in Courchevel every year and decided to try this hotel because it was recently renovated. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a big mistake and we truly regret our decision. From the moment we handed over our Turkish passports, the manager’s attitude visibly changed. She became cold, dismissive, and unwilling to assist us even with basic matters. Her looks, tone, and overall behavior mad...

I have been coming to the 3 Valleys, mostly Courchevel 1850, since 2011. This was without question the worst hotel experience of my life. The check-in time was 4:00 PM and we arrived at 1:00 PM. We politely explained that we wanted to start skiing immediately and asked where we could change. The hotel manager told us to change in the restroom. We had booked four rooms and asked if at least one mi...

We stayed at this hotel for one week. We have visited Courchevel many times before, but this was the first time we experienced such treatment. The hotel manager, a lady, was very disrespectful and made no effort to assist us. She was not solution-oriented, and her attitude felt discriminatory. Our ski boots went missing at the hotel, and we waited five hours for the situation to be addressed. On...

Disappointing Experience at K2 in Courchevel 1850 I recently stayed at the K2 in Courchevel 1850, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that the hotel's service was lacking. The food was poor, and the services were virtually non-existent. The ski room was small and dark, with no staff available to assist, and there were no ski rent...

Polite staff, good location. However, no transfer; poor breakfast; no real spa; no bar on site; tiny ski room; no parking. Doors are banging all the time. Definitely not worth the price.
