Le Saint Joseph

Great location and staff. Really enjoyed the breakfasts before skiing and cocktails at the Grand Cafe.

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 recommend to anyone.

Good points: almost all of the staff are very nice, professional and helpful Bad points: the ski room is actually the nearby ski shop open to the public that you will need to walk outside to get to, the spa and lobby are extremely small, some pictures are misleading because they are of apartments (not hotel rooms or hotel common areas), the shower we had was the old, inconvenient type where you have to constantly hold the shower head (i.e., the bathroom is outdated), and we had some terrible experiences with a very rude porter (and the approach of the general manager was to try and ignore the issue which is highly unprofessional). In light of the above they should not be calling themselves five-star.
