Beautiful lodging in the mountains

This place was beautiful but the pool was closed for repair. Not really a hotel as it was bare bones. No soap/hair dryer etc. There is a kitchen which was moderately equipped. We loved the area and the location of the hotel. The train and bus stop were right in front of the hotel. We were required to clean before we left and pull the linens. Not a problem, but not truly a hotel. Very Austrian decor. Super cozy. Amazing views

Good location, ok for the money, needs some rennovation

Note: swimming pool is out of service and there is no internet in the rooms. Very disappointing to find this out on arrival. The kids were very disappointed. The place is well located and has some charme. Yet, appartments kind of small, and can use some refurbishment. Overall a lot less fancy than on the photos. I guess ok for the money

We have been staying here for many years now because we like the location, the quietness and character of the apartments. The staff are always helpful and they were especially so when we were trying to trace our lost skis. However, we found the apartment we were allocated a bit cold. We were loaned a heater which helped.

The location is ideal. Checking in and out is a bit frustrating. You have to make an appointment to check out (for inspection) and no early checkin. Not even 30 minutes. Understand that you have to provide your own housekeeping. Make the beds, strip the beds, clean bathroom (toilet, tub/shower, sink), sweep, mop and vacuum. Provide your own soaps/cleaning etc. pool was under renovation so I don’t have that experience. Sauna costs extra have no idea if that was open or closed. Place is a bit worn.

Good but didn't quite matdh expectations

This is a very efficiently run apartment complex, with the most excellent Freddie at the helm. The apartment we stayed in was perfectly fine, everything we needed. The location is a strong point: the bus stop is right outside which made our journey to and from the ski slopes very easy. The ski storage area is handy. There is a covered, secure car park which although carries an additional charge, is well worth the money if the snow outside is thick. Two main criticisms. First is that the WiFi is expensive and works only in the lobby area. Second is that the rather inviting 'heated' indoor pool was freezing cold. As I said at the top, the very affable Freddie is superb and is always helpful and always smiling. Thank you!

Great skiing nearby.

We have stayed at this residence for many years. We love the skiing at Grands Montets, a short walk away. The property is comfortable and quiet which suits us as we like to be up early to ski. We have everything we need here and intend to come back next year.

4/10 Poor

Adam, Vermont

Disliked: Room comfort

Too much work and no internet!

This is not a hotel. It's a "residence." Which means, upon arrival, you have to make your own beds with the cheap, scratchy sheets you find in a plastic bag on the bed. And you also have to bring your own toilet paper. If you want more than 1 towel per guest per stay, it's 8 euros per towel. You also have to clean the room spotless yourself at the end of the stay or it's a 60 euro charge. And you have to buy your own cleaning supplies! Literally no broom or even paper towels there. There is also no internet in the room at all. If you want to use the wifi in the lobby, it's 8 euros per day. None of this is explained upfront or online. It's a total rip off and ridiculous scam. Although the room and location were both nice. But if I knew all of that first, I never would've stayed there.

Not a hotel

This is advertised as a hotel but is in fact a self catered apartment block. As an apartment block, it would review quite well. As a hotel, it's pretty poor: - No breakfast available - No sheets on bed on arrival - No cleaning service - Swimming pool is too cold to use - Staff are pretty un-available and un-helpful However, it's in Argentierre and very well located. So if what you want is a no frills apartment (and get it for a reasonable price) it's not a bad bet.

Grubby and Expensive Apartments

We booked Le Cristal only because there was no availability where we normally stay in Argentiere. We do not plan to return to Le Cristal. The whole place could do with a good clean, painting and a general update. It appeared that very little money has been spent by the owners on cleaning and general maintenance. Parking, cleaning the apartment, making the bed prior to arrival and stripping the bed on departure were all extra costs! The ski boot lockers were not even heated.

Excellent base for skiing in Argentiere.

We have been staying here for many years now and will definitely be coming back again. We particularly like to ski at Grands Montets, but the bus stops outside the residence, making it convenient for access to La Tour in one direction and La Flegere/ Le Brevent in the other. For the price, we cannot fault the accommodation or facilities. The swimming pool is great at the end of a day's skiing, the residence is peaceful so you will be sure of a good night's sleep. Can't wait to come back for more amazing skiing!

Great place to stay, nicely located.

We were looking for a reasonably priced place for our family of four to stay in the Chamonix valley and we needed to stay from a Sunday to the following Monday. The Cristal provided all of this, and with friendly helpful staff (who speak excellent English), and a swimming pool, what more could you want? Only niggle was that the apartment is stating to look a little dated, but it was clean and had everything we wanted. The cristal is located next to the railway station, so combined with the free travel you get in the valley it's a really convenient place to stay
