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

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

I'm very suprise about this review. Maybe some information not well understand. Maybe gest was not well. I don't understand why your only friends was the taxidermy animal in the restaurant. I dont understand why charging your drink on the room bill was a probleme for them. Of course our hotel is not a multi internationnal language that just do...

We stayed at the Chris-tal towards the end of March and found the hotel to be clean & comfortable. 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

The hotel is owned and operated by a very nice family, who would go that extra mile to make sure that you are comfortable. The best part is the food. Location is convenient to Les Hauches and major highways, but I skied as far as Argentiere and it was not too bad a commute. I was very comfortable at that... more

We stayed in Chamonix Valley in December of 2002,the Hotel Chris-tal was excellent. Roughly sixblocks from les Houches train station and four from the Telepherique Bellevue ski resort, the cable car. Without a doubt, this was the most comfortable hotel room of the dozen or so three star hotels I have experienced in France. The room was well appointed with... more
