Hotel Sauze

Really nice hotel in a perfect location. Small and traditional in alpine style offering honest accommodation and hospitality. Its the location that sells this hotel. Its 4 mins walk to Clotes lift and 8-10 mins to Sportina lift and just at the top of the town and minutes from bars and restaurants. Heated boot room and separate ski storage. Decent bedroom, slightly small bathroom but functional and good shower pressure and temperature. Rooms cleaned daily, towels changed once in the week. Some noise from other rooms but nothing excessive and not during the actual night it seemed. Excellent breakfast, plentiful options including yoghurts, pastries and some cooked items. Juice and coffee and more than enough to fuel up for a day on the slopes. Dinner also good with plentiful salad / buffet then 3 courses (selected the day before). All food nice, well cooked and I enjoyed it. No dinner drinks included in half board but lots of wine options and drinks available from the bar. (No personal drinks allowed at dinner). Great staff in the dining area, bar and reception. Friendly and hard working and always with a smile on their faces. We stayed 15 – 22 March. Snow was good up higher but the last run back in to town at the end of the day was slushy in the town. Better at Sportina than Clotes and nothing to do with the hotel so not reflected in score. I really liked this hotel. Its simple and honest but great value for money. If that’s what you’re looking for then I’d highly recommend this hotel. Its simple, no frills but its comfortable and welcoming and in a great location for access to a really good and expansive ski area. It’s a 3* hotel but I’d give it a 4* rating as it delivers great service. It lacks some of the refinement and extras of a higher rated hotel but that’s reflected in its price and rating. I would happily return if looking to come back to the area.

Have to say we were very impressed with hotel. Staff were so friendly and couldn’t help us enough. Right beside the chair lift.

The location of the hotel is great, close to the Clotes lift and the bus stop for the Sportinia lift was a few steps away at the end of the road, the bus journey only took a couple of minutes. It is also only a short walk down into Sauze for shops and bars. The hotel staff were always friendly, smiling and welcoming - they worked hard to make our stay comfortable. The hotel decor was alpine - it felt traditional and cosy and was always nice and warm. The bar area and dining room were pleasant places to eat and drink in. We found the food to be mostly excellent and there was plenty of it. Breakfast had a wide range of options and did not run out, everything was replenished. An option of fresh bread would have been nice rather than sliced bread for toasting but there were lots of pastry options. Dinner was a salad buffet starter which was exceptionally good. This was followed by a further three courses with choice - pasta or soup, main options of meat or fish and veg or potatoes. There was always a vegetarian option. There were usually two dessert choices. A cheese platter was part of the salad buffet so a cheese course could also be taken if desired. Our room was spacious with a double bed and additional single bed. There were two separate patio doors which opened onto a shared balcony area overlooking the old town and mountains. Beds and linen were comfortable and there was adequate storage and plenty of shelving. The bathroom was on the smaller side and the shower was a little dated. Plenty of hot water although the water pressure was a bit weak - it was adequate, but certainly not powerful. The room and bathroom were spotless, cleaned everyday and towels changed once during the week. The boot room and separate ski storage room were good. There were boot warmers which was very nice. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for a cosy, comfortable and welcoming hotel which i felt offered good value.
