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.

Posizione perfetta x raggiungere le piste, o visitare semplicemente Chamonix. Camera quadrupla standard abbastanza confortevole, bellissima vista sulle montagne, terrazza con poltroncine. Angolo cottura attrezzato, anche con lavastoviglie, ma stoviglie un po' datate. Massima pulizia ovunque. Sala giochi utile per rilassarsi la sera. Presente anche piccolo parcheggio al chiuso, a pagamento. Fermata bus, supermarket e pista per principianti praticamente davanti all'Hotel. Nel complesso, molto soddisfatti.

일단 직원들이 엄청 친절하구 샤모니에서 1번 버스 타면 거의 바로 호텔 앞에서 내릴수 있어요. 샤모니 시내에서 멀지만 교통이 아주 편리해요.

Vérifier climatisation et taille parking gratuit
Nous avions réservé une "chambre standard double ou avec lit jumeaux" indiquée comme possédant une "Climatisation réglable dans la chambre", ce derniere critère étant celui qui avait déterminé notre choix pour cet hôtel. En ce debut juillet, il faisait très chaud (même aux Houches) et la chambre, (au dernier étage) orientée à l'ouest avait nettement bénéficié des derniers rayons du soleil. Au moment de se coucher nous avons réalisé qu'il n'y avait pas de climatisation. On nous avait d'ailleurs attribué une chambre avec cuisine et après verification sur le site hotels.com, ces chambres ont aussi une climatisation. Nous avons donc ouvert la fenêtre (l'air devient vite frais la nuit à 1000m), mais le bruit de l'autoroute qui est à peine audible avec les fenêtres fermées, devient insupportable une fois qu'elles sont ouvertes. Au sujet du parking, nous nous sommes garés devant le restaurant de l'hôtel et il semble être le seul parking gratuit disponible (quelques places). L'hotel indique d'ailleurs la possibilité d'utiliser un parking couvert payant sur une affiche à la reception. Donc, verifier l'existence de la climatisation et de la taille du parking gratuit. Par ailleurs cet hôtel est très correct, l'accueil bien que bref, a été cordial, et il est bien situé hors de la foule de Chamonix.

Not bad but not top of my list to revisit.
Room was ok but smelled musty and outdated. Not much to do in the town.
