My Family and I have recently returned from a super Skiing trip to Chamonix. We stayed at the Chris Tal and I must report that we were very pleased with our choice. The Chris Tal is a friendly, family run Hotel, located in the small Village of Les Houches, just a few miles from Chamonix Town Centre. We travelled by... More

We arrived at the hotel early and were let into to our room which was good but the corridor outside smelt vile and despite the no smoking policy, we had a strange glass balcony in which we shared the 'air' with the next door inhabitants. They used it as their smoking area so they might as well have smoked in... More

Normally my friends and I stay in Chamonix town centre for our mountaineering trips in this area but this time we decided to stay in Houches, mainly so as not to get sucked in to too much evening drinking. According to the Internet this hotel appreared to have good facilities so I booked us in. I wasn't disappointed. The room... More

We had a great week in Chamonix and at the hotel. The hotel is nice and clean, with a great cuisine. And with Exelent weather and great skiing, it is no better. More

I have never encountered such an unfriendly, rude and downright unpleasant attitude from staff at any hotel. Our group were 6 snowboarders on an off-piste holiday course, all in our early thirties, professional, polite, we all spoke good french, didn't drink, went to bed early, left early and were gone all day. Dinner was included in our rate and oddly... More

Breakfast is the standard buffet found in most hotels and the dinner menu provides reasonable choice. Staff on occasion unfortunately proved to be a little difficult often serving others first or walking away from reception/bar as if we were invisible. However... More

We had a great week in the Hotel Chris-tal in March 2007. This is a lovely hotel with great rooms and good facilities. Our room was spacious with great views of the Chamonix Valley, a good clean bathrooom and nice balcony. The swimming pool also commanded amazing views and was a nice way to unwind at the end of the... More

We stayed at the Hotel Chris-Tal in early April 2007. I echo the other reviews about this hotel. The family who owns/runs the hotel could not have been nicer. The beds were very comfortable, good pillows and the food was AMAZING!!! The pool was a wonderful oasis while looking up at the Aiguille de Midi. I read a review before... More

Great hotel! We stayed for 3 nights during Easter. Small, friendly, (but not obtrusive) hotel with and immaculately cleaned spacious rooms, with a great view from most. Excellent English spoken. I would highly recommend this as an alternative to the hustle and bustle of staying in Chamonix. Les Houches is a charming small town with a several restaurants and a... More
