My wife and I stayed for a week in mid January 2018 for the second time. All the food is good especially the breakfast choices and the dinner sweets. The rooms are not huge but are certainly adequate and there is a lift to all floors including the ski room which has instant access to a nice green slope. This gives easy access to all the lifts in the town and the ski-in access is also superb. All the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and all spoke very good English! ( Don't forget that you are in France so is there not an onus for you to learn some French!).
We are both in our mid seventies and still skiing and would not stay in any other hotel in Val Thorens. We have tried other more expensive ones which are not as good as this one.

We’ve just returned from another weeks skiing in Val Thorens and stayed at Hotel Val Chaviere. I think maybe our 5th visit to this hotel. It’s the best positioned hotel in Resort, literally ski in - ski out. Clean and warm, very comfortable beds in typically smallish rooms for ski hotels. But plenty big enough for couples. Lovely buffet breakfast, and excellent 5-course evening meals. And the staff/management are excellent, and nothing too much trouble. Unfortunately my wife was involved in a skiing accident towards the end of the holiday (NOT her fault ) and the response from the staff was brilliant and very caring. They even made various phone calls to hospital/medical centre on our behalf. There response to the situation was far better than that of our ski company!! More about that later maybe, depending on their response to my email to them.

We booked half board for our skiing holiday. The food was exceptional and the service was super. The room had everything you would need it was warm and plenty hot water. I would highly recommend this hotel.
