Very Good

This is a lovely hotel. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean - cleaned every day by their wonderful team. Really good breakfast. Great location - 1 minute walk to the bus stop or 10 minute walk to the shops/restaurants. Convenient boot room for ski storage and a wonderful swimming pool. The staff cannot do enough for you - so friendly and helpful. We have stayed here 3 times now and would highly recommend The Chris-Tal.
Une courte nuit car arrivés très tard mais ayant averti l hôtel qui nous a donné toutes les consignes pour entrer . L accueil au petit déjeuner est très chaleureux , la chambre grande jolie confortable propre et avec balcon. Une piscine attend les nageurs ! Je garde cette adresse et la recommande
Nous avons passé un week-end excellent. Un accueil professionnel avec un service tres correct. Personnels a l'écoute. Salle de jeux pour les enfants. Nous avons également pu profiter de la piscine entre nous en privatisant. Franchement tres bon moment passé dans cet établissement.
Excellent stay at the Cris-tal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Cannot understand reviews that refer to poor welcome, it was excellent. Breakfast was very good value, had better but for price it was very good. Bar area very pleadant. Loved the location in Les Houches..
Posizione perfetta x raggiungere le piste, o visitare semplicemente Chamonix. Camera quadrupla standard abbastanza confortevole, bellissima vista sulle montagne, terrazza con poltroncine. Angolo cottura attrezzato,
anche con lavastoviglie, ma stoviglie un po' datate. Massima pulizia ovunque. Sala giochi utile per rilassarsi la sera. Presente anche piccolo parcheggio al chiuso, a pagamento. Fermata bus, supermarket e pista per principianti praticamente davanti all'Hotel. Nel complesso, molto soddisfatti.

일단 직원들이 엄청 친절하구 샤모니에서 1번 버스 타면 거의 바로 호텔 앞에서 내릴수 있어요.
샤모니 시내에서 멀지만 교통이 아주 편리해요.
Una experiencia muy buena. El alojamiento ideal para visitar el Valle. Con la targeta de huesped transporte gratuito. La habitación excelente con una vista impresionante de las montañas. Dos terrazas y bien insonorizada,con persianas Parking en el hotel perfecto y desayuno correcto aunque un poco caro. Wifi regular.
Nous avions réservé une "chambre standard double ou avec lit jumeaux" indiquée comme possédant une "Climatisation réglable dans la chambre", ce derniere critère étant celui qui avait déterminé notre choix pour cet hôtel. En ce debut juillet, il faisait très chaud (même aux Houches) et la chambre, (au dernier étage) orientée à l'ouest avait nettement bénéficié des derniers rayons du soleil. Au moment de se coucher nous avons réalisé qu'il n'y avait pas de climatisation.
On nous avait d'ailleurs attribué une chambre avec cuisine et après verification sur le site hotels.com, ces chambres ont aussi une climatisation.
Nous avons donc ouvert la fenêtre (l'air devient vite frais la nuit à 1000m), mais le bruit de l'autoroute qui est à peine audible avec les fenêtres fermées, devient insupportable une fois qu'elles sont ouvertes.
Au sujet du parking, nous nous sommes garés devant le restaurant de l'hôtel et il semble être le seul parking gratuit disponible (quelques places). L'hotel indique d'ailleurs la possibilité d'utiliser un parking couvert payant sur une affiche à la reception.
Donc, verifier l'existence de la climatisation et de la taille du parking gratuit.
Par ailleurs cet hôtel est très correct, l'accueil bien que bref, a été cordial, et il est bien situé hors de la foule de Chamonix.

Not bad but not top of my list to revisit.
Room was ok but smelled musty and outdated. Not much to do in the town.
We booked the hotel as we were looking to be near beginners ski area. As it turned out we landed right on the doorstep of everything we needed. Ski and boot hire next door and beginners slope pretty much opposite the hotel with a €12 charge for use of the 2 lifts. Excellent for kids and beginners. A free bus runs every 30 mins to Chamonix which takes about 15 minutes. Hotel and staff were pleasant. Swimming pool small but nice and informal. Sauna also available but we didn’t get chance to use it unfortunately. Breakfast was pretty standard with the normal continental style available for €11. I would definitely use this hotel again if I return to the area.
One has to prepare for thw French attitude and it takes some time to convince the staff speaking English. That being said they helped me getting to my next destination since there were no taxies and were in general very kind. The rooms were older but charming with everything you need and quite large with a little balcony.

Reasonable option if you have no better choice
A reasonable, middle-of-the-road establishment with sauna and small pool. My economy single was in the basement, and the shared facilities through several doors near and in the sauna on the same level. Reception could have been warmer and more informative (but then I was not important because I had only a cheap single room).
+ : chambre confortable et propre, balcon avec vue sur la montagne, restaurant et bar dans l'hôtel, service attentionné, petit-déjeuner copieux
- : salle de bains basique, proximité de l'autoroute
