Great location to ski out with ski lift almost directly across from ski room. Ski room has storage for your equipment, but bring a small lock with you. Breakfast at hotel was wonderful, as was the restaurant. Lots of food choices surrounding hotel as well

This property is excellent. Boot room. Literally 15 steps from boot room to clipping on skis. Lift access. Choice of 3 lifts, easily accessible from the hotel. Food. Buffet style, plenty of choice, excellent quality. Room. Well laid out & particularly liked that the bathroom & toilet were separate, making things very practical. Great view from the balcony. Staff. Superb. Everyone we interacted with were friendly, attentive & helpful. Whoever does the hiring does a very good job! Being picky!! For a hotel that is mainly used as a ski hotel, it is unusual these days not to have heated boot warmers as a standard offering. Boot & ski hire. We hired from the Totem Ski shop in the lobby of the hotel. Good quality equipment & price was on par with other ski shops. Christoff was very helpful. If you are looking at Flaine as an option, book this hotel.

I would recommend this hotel. The hotel staff are warm, welcoming, approachable, polite and eager to please. The breakfast was good, although the evening buffet wasn't to my taste. Still, you can't have everything!

Hotel Totem - Flaine Forum

Short break in Flaine. Hotel Totem is central located opposite a selection of restaurants and bars and about 50m from the main ski bubble. Trendy style bar and restaurant area looking out at the slopes. Very comfortable well equipped double room (with balcony). All staff were super helpful and nothing too much trouble. Excellent selection of cooked and continental breakfast options. Ski lockers conveniently located on the ground floor but they did get a little busy after 9am. Would definitely return.

Toujours très agréable d’y séjourner

Hôtel très agréable, équipe au TOP et emplacement 3 étoiles pou l’accès aux piste, bref si votre séjour est centré sur le ski c’est le meilleur, sans parler de leur bar qui est très sympas tous les soirs, bref nous recommandons !

Hotel et équipe au top pour nous !

Superbe hotel au pied des pistes, une équipe très accueillante et compétente aussi bien à hôtel qu'au restaurant bar (Très bon cocktails !) ou au Ski Shop, des chambres spacieuses et confortables et si vous prenez une chambre avec Balcon une vue extraordinaire sur les pistes, l'emplacement aussi est parfait au coeur du "très petit" centre du village avec tous les commerces, ski shops ou restaurants autour à moins de 5mn tout comme les remontées mécaniques, bref pour nous ça a été un sans-faute !
