Wonderful Hotel
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.

Pleasant hotel in Les Hooches
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.

Good value hotel
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.

Excellent holiday but French are getting to greedy
Good location been here before in February, since then the lift passes for a family have gone up £100, drinks are £9 a beer, on the mountain burger and chips is £25, a plate of chips £12, a beer £11, got to expensive will not be coming back and other people I spoke to said the same. Excellent holiday its a shame the French are getting to greedy.

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).

Nice launch-point for tour du mont blanc
A little dated, but still decent facilities. Wifi doesn't reach well into the rooms, so you have to be in or near the hallway to use it. They were minimally staffed for diner (one person doing a lot of work), so service was a little slow. Still a good value and well positioned for tour du mont blanc. Basically right across the bridge from the train station.

Really nice size family room with a separate bedroom. Dinner not being available until 7pm is a bit awkward when traveling with kids. Breakfast was good but a little pricey. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Mostly great except the receptionist
The hotel had a great view and was very nice. However, the guy at the reception desk lied to me and said that the breakfast was included, but I was then charged about 10 euros the next morning. He thought I was just a dumb American that he could rip off, but I actually understand French well.He was also shady with another group of Americans in line in front of me.

Excellent value!
We very much enjoyed our 6 night stay here. The room was great value for money, and access to the pool and sauna was appreciated, especially after a day on the slopes. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. It had everything we needed, although the WiFi connection was poor at times in our room. Very short distance to the bus stop which heads to the main ski lifts in Les Houches and also Chamonix itself. Would definitely return!
