This hotel is in an excellent location right next to the ski area with the lifts and gondola on site. We found the hotel very warm and turned off the radiators in the room. The rooms are basic but functional. We found the hotel Extremely noisy. We could hear the guests in the next room talking and laughing like they were in the same room as us, when they were just talking normally. Children roam everywhere, running up and down the corridors, playing football in the lift lobbies, and just being generally disruptive without any parental control or intervention from hotel staff. We were half board and there was a decent selection at breakfast and dinner. We always found something nice to eat however It gets extremely busy in the restaurant at times. This is our second time staying at this hotel. We had a similar experience on the first occasion and decided to give it another ago. However, due to the noise and lack to sleep, we wouldn’t stay here again.

Good location, lovely bar and restaurant staff but hotel is tired and in need of refurbishment. The food is the next best feature to the excellent location. Reception staff were a bit hit and miss (probably the language challenge) and be prepared for noise especially on a Saturday night (until 3am). Snow clearing starts about 4.30/5am. We asked to be moved after the first night. Beds are uncomfortable.

The hotel is slightly outdated. It could do with a bit of a revamp. Lack of a kettle in the room is a dearth for British folk! The staff are all marvellous. The hotel is outstandingly clean.

If you are looking to have an amazing Italian experience, then this is it! The hotel was a perfect location for beauty, skiing and family activities. The rooms and balconies were large and the staff was very friendly and accommodating to have our rooms right next to each other. The 3 person room had 2 bathrooms! The decor is an Italian alps fashion and seasoned, but was clean and perfect for our family. The half board with breakfast and dinner was delicious and convenient. We were among the very few that spoke English as a first language, but the staff was friendly and we had a blast! There were pubs, shops and markets, the gondola, ski shops, ER, whatever we needed, was right there. And, if you wanted to stroll over the little bridge to town, it was available. Next time we'll have to book longer to take advantage of a village visit. Thank you, Hotel Planibel for making our family's first visit to Italy so spectacular with all that you offer. Fabulous!

Great position for the slopes
We arrived way before check-in time but the very friendly and helpful staff did their best to get our room ready early. We had connecting rooms above the front of the hotel which were spacious with plenty of storage. The view of the mountain was lovely but unfortunately we were above the main bins and collection of these could get a little noisy. We were half board, both breakfast and evening meals provided plenty of choice and were enjoyed by all of us.

Hotel is in great position. We have chosen this hotel for years. In our last two stays, it seems to have become a little dilapidated. Food has disimproved. Lifts are erratic. Has it changed ownership or being run down? I do hope not. We love it and would love to see it given some care. Wifi is almost nonexistent. Please ask owners to put some improvements into hotel and offer better food. We love the hotel and want to continue using it

Convenient, clean but a little dated.
The car park is like a rabbit warren! With no signage in English of where to park and where the entrance/exits are to the accommodation. When we eventually found the hotel from the car park, check in was efficient. The room was warm and clean, if a little dated. The beds were firm. The breakfast was good - although on one morning we had to queue for ten minutes for coffee. Some tables are allocated to certain guests, but this was not made clear leading to a couple of embarrassing confrontations. A special thank you to Stella on reception who was very helpful in making some phone calls on our behalf when the diesel froze in our rental car. The hotel is excellently place for access to the ski lifts in La Thuile. We would stay again.

Great location & staff, but in need of a refurb.
Couple of days for a short skiing break. The hotel is in bad need of a refurb, particularly the Gym & Pool facilities. That said the rooms were comfortable enough and if all you plan to do is ski the location of the hotel is absolutely perfect right at the bottom of the ski slope. For the condition of the hotel, thought the room rate was a little pricey but I guess you pay for location. The hotel staff however were extremely helpful. Watch out for the parking .. it was advertised as free parking/included in room rate. But when we arrived actually turned out to be €9 per day.

Good hotel great location
Spent a week at this hotel in January halfboard. Hotel is right beside the ski lifts & Gondola. Very convenient to everything. Food good. Pool good. Resturant management staff a bit snooty but other staff very good. Confusion as to what resturant to eat in eventhough there had been a table assigned to us at the beginning of our stay. Kids games room good but would have been better if actually in the Hotel - a bit hard to find - kids stumbled on it by accident. Supermarket, bars and resturants next to Hotel. Only negative - Wifi terrible

Great location, very close to the ski lifts. Rooms are very noisy as you can hear your neighbour flushing their toilet, running their bath water. breakfast is best avoided, especially on a Sunday morning when instead of glass you are presented plastic cups to drink from.

Nice hotel if you don't want to sleep much
There is a disco at this hotel on the 2nd floor, if your room is over this you will not sleep until it closes. Our room was on 4th floor (room 430) and we could hear the music very clearly. Our friends had a room on the 3rd floor over the restaurant (not the one you have breakfast in) and they couldn't hear the music. throughout the night there were people making noise in the corridors and party's in other rooms until about 5am on both 3rd and 4th floors. Don't expect to request a particular room as we had emailed the hotel in advance to change the size of one of the rooms but they did not respond to the email. I would suggest if you need your sleep don't stay here (we spoke to the hotel and they did not do anything), if you don't sleep, you probably can save money by not staying there at all. Ironically the information in the room asks guests to respect the rest periods in the afternoon and night time, they just don't do anything to reinforce this.

a great welcome and right next to the lifts
on arrival at the hotel we were made to feel very welcome. We booked a suite which gave us extra room to relax in after a day on the slopes and also an upgrade to dine in the a la carte 'la raclette' restaurant although we also chose to dine in the buffet restaurant which was actually very good and much better than expected. the location was superb with a 50m walk across to the lifts. après ski is rather tame but if its the skiing you go for then this hotel and this resort is excellent value for money. just be aware of the long poma being the only way home from La rosiere.

Warning!
Perfect location and very clean room with the food being average to acceptable. On the negative side, barmen attempted 3 times in 2 days to sell an "equivalent" wine at more than double the cost of original fine wine (Brunello Di Montalcino) which ran out after one bottle!

great location
Great location at the bottom of the ski slopes, hardly any walking! Easy access to great skiing, quiet slopes. Lockers in the boot room for easy storage. Rooms comfortable and clean. (1 negative - only one thin pillow per guest led to several bad necks!) Evening meal buffet meant that you could eat as much as you wanted, good choice, 4 courses, plenty of pasta for the fussy ones. Get in before 8 as they start clearing away before 9. Bar not very convivial but all in all would go back.

We are going again
The hotel is perfect for us. We are a group of 11 adults and 3 children and all of our needs were catered for. Its right at the bottom of the slopes so you can ski to about 20 metres from the door. The food is very varied so even the children were happy. The amount of skiing available here is unbelievable. We have only been home a few days and are already looking to book for next year.

Inte för vuxna som reser utan barn
Hotellet är stort och ligger i en betongmiljö som påminner om en svensk förort. Hotellet har ingen trevlig lounge alls. Bar finns men den ligger i vad som skulle kunna förväxlas med en fritidsgård, slitna möbler i stark belysning. Eftersom det inte finns någon lounge eller bar nära hotellet och inte heller i byn, blir kvällarna trista. Men personalen är trevlig och tack vare den väldigt fina frukosten, som verkligen har allt plus närheten till pist och kabin (nästan ski in, ski out) kan en del av ovan förlåtas. Vuxna som åker utan barn bör dock överväga annat hotell

Court séjour pour skier
Pour les points forts: l'hôtel est tres bien situé a proximité du depart du télécabine, les chambres sont refaites dans un style montagnard et agréable. Le personnel du restaurant ou du bar est convivial et aimable. Ideal pour un sejour en groupe et faire la fête. Points d'amelioration: bruyant, a eviter pour un sejour romantique, L'hôtel est bien équipé et dispose de tout, toutefois le personnel de la reception n'oriente pas bien le client, j'ai du faire la file d'attente une seconde fois pour rechercher une clef pour un casier pour les skis, on avait choisi la formule petit dejeuner uniquement mais on ne nous avait pas fait un peu de pub pour le 2eme retaurant qui est fort bien. Sans ces manquements a la reception, le sejour aurait été mieux noté.

Great location and delicious food
If you are going to La Thuile for skiing, Hotel Planibel has the best location very near the ski lifts. We had a room facing the slopes. Great view. Some parts of the hotel are not that updated, doors are not sound proof and the rooms could be a bit bigger. But we enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and had large firm beds and a nice bathroom. The hotel offered good facilities for skiing equipment. They have a great restaurant for half-board guests. Especially dinner buffet is recommendable. They serve a lot of different Italian delicious courses, menu was changed from day to day. Pizzas at the a la carte restaurant were also good. Staff was friendly and service minded. Our arrival was a bit delayed and they offered to serve us a light dinner even though the restaurant was closed. Just outside the hotel you will find a supermarket, two skiing equipment shops, two ski rental shops, lift pass office and some bars and cafés. All you need for a great ski holiday. We will stay at Hotel Planibel again if we come back to La Thuile.
