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.
