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

The apartment was attractive, spacious and well appointed. the location was fantastic - we walked to the lift with boots on and skis over our shoulders. I would stay there again

Good location for the lifts and town centre but shabby and rather dusty. The staff were friendly but the place is in need of updating and the pool was out of commission for the whole winter.

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.

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!

What would have been a very enjoyable stay blighted by protracted delays in refunding 'damage' deposit on departure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
