Great hotel for a quick Easter ski weekend. We drove from UK and parked in Bourg Saint-Maurice getting the furnicular up to Arc 1600 and there's a short walk to the hotel. The lifts are a short walk too. The food included in the half board option was excellent and there were additional options such as raclette available for an extra cost.

While I like my stay at the Arcadien, I had a hard finding it from the funicular and I spent a lot of time wandering about with a heavy ski bag. Due it the heavy snow all of signs were blocked and the walkways were covered.

Great value for money - cosy hot tub and sauna, good location near Combette ski lift. Food - soups not great but good quality main courses, overall pretty good. One negative is that hotel doesn't have its own car park, so a short walk to the car if you are driving.

Wonderful small hotel at the base of 1600 Easy in and out for skiers with a locker for your gear

I was returning here with my son - our last visit being in 2011 - we have been skiing around the Alps quite a bit since then. Arcadien is just as we remembered it. The accommodation is of a generally high standard and the food is outstanding. We were last here at the start of the season and this visit was at the end. There are just a few signs that some repairs/freshening up are needed. Nothing too serious at this stage - and may just be because of the high-season wear and tear.

Very comfortable room. Bathroom was especially clean which is good! Access to pool is shared with the adjoining apartments so can get crowded; you need to show proof as hotel guest (easily done by a ticket from reception) in order to gain access. Excellent hearty breakfast to start your day at 12 Euro (8 Euro for children) if you haven't paid for this in advance.

We liked this hotel, and would recommend it. The restaurant has only two options in the evening -don't bother if you're vegetarian, as there are no vege options. Also, there was no balcony on the room. The staff were very nice, and we would stay there again.

Loved the attentiveness of the staff to help. First skiing trip on my own so needed the crutch and they didn't falter under the weight. Really helped me sort out transport and point me in the right direction for what I needed. Laura on reception was a beacon for that service.

We stayed here in Jan 2013 for our first skiing holiday and we cant emphasise enough how good the hotel was. The staff were very welcoming and always very happy to greet/help you. We dont know much French, but they were nice about it and translated the menu when necessary. We stayed half board and so had breakfast and a 3 course evening meal each day. The food is excellent - better than most restaurants weve used at home! Varied and plenty of it. The room was plenty big enough for the two of us and very clean, warm and comfortable.Resort wise, Arc 1600 is very quiet in the evenings but we were grateful of that as we were really tired! It was so hasstle free getting off the Eurostar and being at our hotel so quickly. We had lessons in Arc 1800 with Arc Adventures - they were also excellent. There were lots more lifts and slopes there to use. We got there on the bus each day as our lessons started at 9.30am which meant we didnt have time to ski there due to when the lifts opened, but you could ski to 1800 and there was a route back to use in the evenings. The evening run was labelled as a blue...although one part of it was quite hairy, but thankfully quite brief! The first day we went down that part without our skis on!I suspect we will be back next year and possibly even in the summer to check out the mountain biking tracks.
