Nes accommodation from NZ$175

We were in building D in a 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor. I thought the pictures made it look fresher and newer than it appeared in reality, but everything was exactly as described and it was a really economical option in an otherwise expensive resort. The kitchen had a dishwasher and enough crockery/pans but no baking trays for the oven, we had to use the grill pan. Massive fridge/freezer which was great. Individual temperature controls for the rooms which worked well. We found around 7/8pm after everyone had had a day on the slopes, there was not much hot water, but if you timed it right shower was fine. We made use of the hotel swimming pool a couple of nights but it was cool by uk standards. Lovely sauna afterward though! We had breakfast one day which was plentiful and loads of choice, but too expensive to repeat for 4 of us! We did enjoy it though. Make sure to book linen in advance if you are flying and need the luggage space, the hotel email worked fine for this. The cost for 4 sets was very reasonable. On the last night we ventured into the hotel bar for a game of shuffleboard but it seemed you had to be the favoured few to get a spot! We waited for 3 rounds of people and got a less than sympathetic response when I mentioned this to the staff! Otherwise they were fine. The ski bus goes from right outside and takes you to Slaatta or town. We arrived by train and it was about 15-20 mins walk from the station. There is a good taxi company, Geilo taxi.

Service and facilities perfectly placed to the snow

Wonderful staff and great views. Dining options are limited and expensive.
