Hotel Cristallo is located in Courmayeur, Italy. It is a charming looking hotel. Courmayeur is an absolutely beautiful small town just across the border from France. We were looking for a hotel close to Mont Blanc at a reasonable price. The hotel can be hard to find, especially at night as it is not well lit and the hotels and inns are very close together. We had to stop and ask for directions. Once we got directions we found it fairly quickly. The hotel is rustic. All of the rooms are wood paneled and the keys are cute. It feels like an Alps Chalet. The rooms are nice sized and the windows all opened up which was nice since there was no air conditioning. Unfortunately there were no screens on the window so we did get some very scary looking bugs in the room which for us insect scaredy cats made the night uncomfortable. The hotel manager was very nice. There wasn't a lot of car parking but there was enough. There was also breakfast but we did not get up early enough to try it. There is no Wi-Fi available. To get to the hotel from France you will need to go through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. It is about a 40 Euro toll to go through the tunnel which is very long. From the town it was a very short drive to Mont Blanc and the skyway from Courmayeur is less expensive than from the French side. If your looking for a reasonably priced hotel and don't mind some bugs if you want some cool air, this hotel will be fine. read more
This hotel is very difficult to find. I had to stop at a gallery to ask for directions, luckily the person spoke English. The location is great if you are going to visit Mont Blanc. The view is spectacular. The staff were fine, not overly welcoming, but not rude. The rooms were okay, no A/C and the windows don't have screens so because it was hot and we had the windows cracked all sorts of bugs flew in. NOT FUN! A fan would also be great. The hotel and the town were very quiet, almost too quiet for me. There is plenty of charm at this hotel just don't expect many amenities. Also the beds were not very comfortable and the pillows flat. read more
