It was clean, tidy and there was nothing untoward. It felt sort of old school and antiquated I guess, but that was fine for us. Some of the décor was out of the 80’s and 90’s, which again didn’t bother us, but some people might find it a bit strange I guess.
The food was ok, it could be a little bit random at times with some of the options and combinations, but there was enough of it. They were great with the kids and very accommodating. If they just wanted a bowl of pasta, then they gave them a bowl of tomato pasta, if they didn’t fancy what was on the menu, so that was really great from that point of view.
There was a decent choice of food and options for breakfast too.
It was a good location, a five minute walk into town and you could walk to the lifts. They did a bus in the morning but more often than not we just walked. I’d say it was about roughly a 10min walk to the lifts – 5mins to get into the centre of town and then another 5min walk to the lifts.

Basic but charming, oldest hotel and it was exactly as it was described. 4.5 out of 5. Staff very friendly. Catering staff, management a little older and less accommodating. Food was very good. To get to the ski area we went via a private minibus, which had strict time schedule. Can wait around 10 mins to get to the slopes.

I loved this hotel – it has mixed reviews, with some people saying it’s a bit dingy but it’s what I call a traditional hotel. The rooms are quite dated but you’re only there to sleep. From the waitressing staff to the minibus they do to the slopes, everyone was so obliging. The owner isn’t aloof, but is very quiet and we told him his staff were a credit to him.
The food was absolutely fine, very traditional. My husband doesn’t eat red meat and didn’t get fantastic options but it wasn’t a problem.
They take you to the slopes at set times and you had to make your own way if you wanted to go into town but it only took 5 minutes.

The Hotel del Viale is your traditional Courmayer family-run hotel and I’ve booked holidays here several times.
The staff have always been very friendly and as I’ve stayed here for family holidays, lads holidays and just with my sons, I’d recommend it for all kinds of holiday. The rooms are spacious as doubles but quite tight if you get a triple (as they basically put an extra bed in a double). They’re all en-suites as far as I know.
A minibus takes you to the main gondola - every morning and evening they collect you and drop you off. It’s probably a five minute walk to the centre of town.
