Hotel Màgic Pas

This s a great hotel. Really close to the slopes, food was good, plenty of choice. Martin the chef was lovely and very accommodating. We asked for gluten free croissants and it was no trouble at all. The receptionists were really friendly & helpful. The spa facilities aren’t the biggest but as you have to book it never got too busy and was great after a day skiing. We had room 809 which had a good view and was a good size. The rooms were cleaned every day. We will definitely be back!

The plus points are location and cleanliness. The negatives are as below. Bar area was always low temperature compared to rest of hotel. Sitting in restaurant sweating in a tee shirt to then needing a thick jumper in the bar. Bar was very noisy due to lots of young children on pool table and fusbal. Tired decor. Big cracked marble floor in lift. 95% of food was not piping hot just above warm. The exception being the soup which was piping hot. Terrible choice if you were vegetarian...either pasta or salad. On the flip side they did not object when they were asked to microwave stone cold cooked tomatoes and just warm scrambled eggs. Overall its only the location that saved this from a 1* review. Also Crystal rep was never available and when you arrive you are told to walk up to the hotel and just leave luggage on the pavement for the bust to load up when they arrive...leaving the opening for anyone to just walk off with your skis or snowboard.

This is a nice hotel in the centre of the resort, a few minutes walk from the slopes. The staff on reception, in the bar and in the restaurant were all very friendly and helpful. I had a double room on the fourth floor. The room was spacious, warm and had a very comfortable bed. I didn’t have a view at all from my room, which was a shame, but didn’t matter too much as I spent very little time in there. The bar area was lovely, cosy and relaxed with a nice fire and a pool table. There was a good selection of reasonably priced drinks. The restaurant was very nice. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style, and the desserts each evening were lovely. The ski locker room on the lower floor is excellent, spacious, with huge lockers. One disappointing point was that prices are per room, rather than person. I understand this for the room itself, but found it strange that I had to pay as much for half board as a single person in a room as my two friends did in their room, meaning that I actually paid twice as much for my food as each of my friends. Overall, a very nice hotel in a good location within the resort.

Good location, short walk from locker room to chair lifts. Rooms good size and clean. Beds comfy but not many hooks to hang ski jackets etc. Decent prices in bar for beers but spirits expensive. Steam room and jacuzzi decent to relax just pre book no charge for Crystal guests. Breakfast very good, evening meal a bit hit and miss but could always find something. Locker room in basement very good with key to your own cage to store skis etc. Would definitely recommend we went as a group of 12 ideally located for bars and restaurants with very little noise at night. Overall great hotel and location.

Mixed group of 11 with family and friends from 21 to 60! Fabulous stay, comfortable and spacious rooms, we had room 810 which was very quiet. Lifts a bit slow if on higher floors. Boot room in basement, jacuzzi and steam/sauna nice at the end of the day (floor 5) and we were the only ones there when we visited. Hadn’t realised we would be charged which may have put others off. Very close to slopes, few mins walk from the boot room to lifts and right in town for bars and restaurants. Skiing area fantastic with good mix of red and blue with blacks dotted around. Long lifts leading to equally long runs. Not easy to navigate but we managed. Wide open slopes, not busy, skied to soldeau and el tarter. Lovely breakfast at hotel and great little bar with pool table. Fabulous magician one evening which kept us entertained and flabbergasted! Would return and recommend this hotel. Booked via Heidi who also arranged a great private transfer. Food and drink much cheaper here than in chamonix last year but you get charged for data on your phones as outside of roaming countries.

Hotel was very good, clean and convenient for the slopes. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food was very good. The boot room was very safe and secure. Hot tub and sauna a nice place to relax after a days skiing.
