Would place this between 4 and 5 stars. Room was spacious but a bit dark as others have noted. There is no AC which is fairly normal in the area, a fan helped, but on a particularly hot night can be a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was exceptional with lots of variety, excellent bread. Dinner was good with the highlight being the dessert and cheese buffet afterwards, both had lots of choices and were exceptional. Would stay again if in the area.

Nice spacious room but very dark. We've to try to switch on every possible lights. No air con, so get ready to be baked at night. I particularly love the area where your clothes hang (lots of hangers) and space. Bathroom is spacious and easy to operate. Fitness room only starts at 7am. But you can ask the nice front desk man at 6am to open for you. Don't bother negotiating with the front desk ladies, they won't help no matter how much charm you try. Couldn't use their steam room, swimming pool as it was SO PACKED at 5pm. Best to come at off-peak season and not in Summer (SO HOT). Breakfast is nice, so is dinner. But service very slow at dinner as they couldn't cope with the crowd. Good location to centre city.

Do not go there if you are vegetarian!!! My husband had a tasteless and starchy squash soup for starter ( over 20 euros!!) and a polenta soufflé as a main with no sides at all ( not even a leaf of green salad- the green salad as a side was 28 euros(?) or so..) appalling unbalanced dish , unsatisfying and 34 euros for a plate of polenta.. 5 star hotel but no star for the food-sadly as my meal was ok - only deserts were good actually.

Very bad service. Very rude with people. Don’t worth their 5 stars. It’s almost self service. And when it’s not you should be very patient to have someone talking to you. The rooms are awful. You have a wc without sink in it. And the price is 1.6k euros per night. You almost have to beg to have someone talked to you. And of course if you forgot once to say bonjour you are black listed for your whole stay. The only positive point is the concierge Ben.

Our second trip to Fermes de Marie after a 3 year Covid-driven absence. Still very well maintained and great amenities in hotel (spa, hot tub etc) and whilst not well located for pedestrian access to the slopes the hotel does offer a free shuttle bus service to/from the lifts (though at busy times the wait time can be a touch irritating and the shuttle staff we encountered were less than polite). The in-hotel ski hire shop is super useful & the staff in there are great - friendly, knowledgeable, helpful. The fresh foods in the restaurant are great, especially the breakfast but the lunch/evening menu is trying too hard to be super gastronomic and over complicates the dishes in our opinion. The menu doesn’t change daily either so if you eat regularly in the hotel your choices are a touch limited, albeit admittedly well presented/cooked. We’d probably go back but our sense was that service quality had slipped from our last visit.
