Hôtel Le Saint Joseph — Restaurant in Albertville

This property might have once been a good place to stay. It is now a "fixer upper" - unless the owners stop thinking about squeezing every last penny out of it and actually invest some money, it will be just that. For the 2300 per night that I paid, it would expect an experience of a different caliber. NOT a good price-quality ratio.||||Excellent: the room decoration and the amount of space. I booked a suite (205) and it did offer lots of space. Wifi speed connection.||Good: location. Unlike some of the finer hotels in Courchevel it is not a ski in-out hotel. It is, however, only some 200 meters from the lifts. Also, the staff seems quite nice, with some inevitable exceptions, the exceptions being utter disregard for the demands of guests (such as having to remind about a room service order after an hour of having placed it).||Mediocre: the sleep quality (beware - two of the more popular night clubs in town right across the street from the hotel)||Bad: the equipment in the room and the fixings in the bathroom. Everything old and worn out.||Atrocious: food in the restaurant St. Marco. Last time I was in Courchevel the restaurant (then called the "Houssard") was recommended to me by the concierge in Kilimanjaro, one of the tonier properties in town. It was indeed quite nice. Now the restaurant has a new name and a terrible, I mean, a terrible chef. One has to try hard to eat that badly in large cities in France, let alone in Haute-Savoie. Avoid the restaurant at all costs.||||Definitely not a place...

Really expensive hotel for what it is, unhappy with it.||||The hotel is really small and in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout. The bathroom had no proper shower - it had only a handheld shower-head which is so inconvenient and water sprayed everywhere in the bathroom. Completely not the standard of a 5* hotel.||||Rooms and furniture in need of modernisation, the rooms aren’t really comfortable. Reception area is super small and uncomfortable; it struggles to fit more than two guests and luggage. Reception seating area is in the hotel restaurant as the reception is too small to even fit seats in. This is not a good set-up at all for guests.||||Spa was really small and old, has very limited facilities. The lounge chairs in the spa were dirty & stained.||||Breakfast options were average and limited in choice of food. No ski room in the hotel at all - have to leave hotel to walk outside to ski shop. The hotel is NOT a ski-in / ski-out hotel even if they advertise it as one.||||I visited some other 5* hotels in the area during my stay for tea etc. and service in other hotels were much friendlier and warmer. Completely better than Hotel Le St Joseph.||||Overall, not the standard of a 5* hotel, more like 3* throughout and there are many better hotels also with better service in Courchevel.||||Definitely wouldn’t stay here again or...
