Hotel Vatel

The rooms are consistently praised for their exceptional cleanliness and modernity, with guests appreciating the comfortable beds, spaciousness, and functional amenities like large flat-screen TVs and spacious bathrooms.

Stayed at this hotel as we made a last minute switch from skiing in France to Switzerland over New Years - the hotel itself is a good quality business type hotel with modern comfortable rooms...everything you would expect. Breakfast was good, you can park right outside and it is only a 15 minute pleasant walk to the center of Martigny, a nice town, albeit without anything spectacular to offer and v quiet at night. Skiing wise, it is a 20 minute drive to the lift at Le Chable at the bottom of the valley (free easy parking) which takes you straight into the 4 valleys ski area) Only problem is I had my wallet stolen from my room, I did not report to police as was on holiday and didn't have time, we must have left the safe open or my wallet on the side, did not ever take it out the room and am certain it was taken. No major loss, cancelled the cards, lost around €200 in cash and a nice leather wallet... but watch out!! Use the safe or take things out with you.

I spent a night early december in HOtel Vatel. Upon my arrival, i was informed at the reception that there was going to be a party with music late night and that I could upgrade to a room paying 20chf more. I refuse to pay more and accepted to stay in my room assuming that the music would go uptil midnight. I woke up around midnight with windows of my room trembling with that horrible music and people shouting loudly. called up security and the security man told me that I had to "tolerate" it until 2am as the 200 peole had paid the party ( i assume that they had bought the staff and the hotel). I too had paid 150chf for the night. I decided to send an email of complaint to the chef d'hebergement of the hotel sorry pub(as the ambience that night was worst than a pub). The music went on until 4am in the morning. no staff helped me. nobody listened. next morning they offered me the breakfast (as they had already read my complaint). i asked them to reimburse my money completely as i felt cheated and tortured that night. The chef d'herbegement sent me a mail refusing any reimbursement but giving me a bon to stay overnight & have breakfast. after going through what i had been through i do not wish to stay a night there, its a noisy hotel cum pub with stressed out people around. Then energy is toxic. You can't relax. YOu can sesnse the tension in the staff and a certain mal etre. i do not recommend people this hotel cum pub. Please go there at your own risk. They are more interested in selling than serving.
