good locationtoilet roll
the location is good for buses to ski stations. the studio was somewhat basic but clean and functional.
i seemed like the basics were penny pinching! i was shocked to be advised only one toilet roll is provided per room. this left a bad impression of how low they would go to maximise profit

I found the bus station proximity very convenient at only 140 ski boot paces away perfect for my ski trip. Ski lockers are available near reception so I did not need to carry skis to my apartment. The compact suite includes a comfortable drop down double bed and a well-equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher kettle toaster and a proper teapot.
I noticed some slight mold in the showers that requires attention.
