Hotel le Monal

Le Monal is a beautifully decorated hotel located in a charming village near the Sainte-Foy resort. I was very pleased with my cosy single room and a private bathroom. Even though my room was based at the back of the hotel, I had a beautiful view from my window. I really enjoyed the stylish alpine decor as well as the lovely atmosphere created by the helpful and friendly staff, lively locals, the fireplace, food and drinks on the terrace complemented with a good choice of music. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable and my first ever solo skiing holiday so memorable! I truly appreciate it!

I can recommend the hotel restaurant. It is cosy and innovates on some classic French dishes. Has a good wine card, too. My room, however, was rather forgettable. Surrounded by chalet-style wooden walls it must have measured barely 12 sq.m. A double bed and not much else could fit. The bathroom, on the other side, was new and of a decent size. All-in-all an OK experience.

Very nicely decorated hotel and comfortable room with no ski kitsch! Friendly and helpful staff. The food was also good (we shared the cote de boeuf which was plenty for 3) but there were few small/lighter options just heavy main dishes in the evening. Our room was lovely with a kettle and a balcony and a view over the mountains, but it could be very noisy here as it’s on bend on a hill in the main road - although it quietened down in the evenings we were woken up by a delivery vehicle at 5am. Oddly no shutters on our windows so had to close the curtains carefully to keep out the hotel lights and the morning light. There is also an outside dining terrace and a pizza take away and we found the noise of people chatting outside was intrusive until 11.30- ish. Probably perfect in the winter but in the summer when you want the windows open it was less than ideal.

One of our favourite places to eat and enjoy a few drinks whilst in Sainte-foy. The staff are lovely and the barman makes great cocktails. The Entrecôte is one of the best around and at great value also.

Fantastic family friendly hotel, lovely bar and restaurant with delicious food. Lovely helpful staff that really made us feel welcome. Perfect location too as the Ski Bus stops right outside. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Information qui ne nous a pas été communiquée avant notre séjour : chaque samedi soir, l'hotel organise (essentiellement pour sa clientèle locale) des soirées DJ qui débutent sur le roof top et se terminent tard dans la nuit sur la terrasse extérieure. Donc si vous souhaitez dormir, bon courage à vous. Pas de clim et impossible d'ouvrir les fenêtres à cause du bruit des fêtards. Lorsque vous en faites réclamation, la direction vous explique par mail le lendemain que vous n'avez pas compris le concept... Si au contraire nous avons très bien compris le concept : tout est bon pour faire de l'argent quitte à réunir dans un même lieu des clients aux attentes opposées et non compatibles.
