Bottom Line
This mid-range Alpine-style hotel is located in Canazei center, a five-minute walk to cable cars and a ski bus stop, and draws couples and families looking to hike, climb, mountain bike, and ski in the famous Dolomites (a UNESCO heritage site). The rooms are simple yet spacious, and most have balconies with views of the mountains. Breakfast and dinner at the on-site restaurant are included for guests, as is access to the Wellness Center, which is typical for the area. Note that the hotel is seasonal, open from December to Easter and from April to September. It's worth comparing prices with the Wellness Hotel Lupo Bianco, which has a prettier setting and ski-in, ski-out access.

No-frills hotel with access to mountains and town center
Hotel Cristallo is a no-frills hotel with easy access to both the mountains and the town center. Features like a common game room, stroller storage, and children's play areas make the hotel suitable for families. The pink chalet-style building has wooden balconies and flowers, and is surrounded by views of the mountains, but also fronts a busy road. The lobby has a homey Alpine feel, with lots of pine and hand-painted design on the ceilings, but the dated tile floors and worn fabrics make it clear this is a value option.
Location
Centrally located in town, with easy access to the mountains
Hotel Cristallo is located in the center of Canazei, a small town in the northern Italian region of Trentino, about 30 miles from the small Bolzano Airport and 100 miles from the larger Treviso Airport near Venice. Canazei is a popular base for excursions in the Sella, Marmolada, and Sassolungo mountains, all part of the Dolmites mountains. While Hotel Cristallo is not a ski-in, ski-out property, it is a five-minute walk from bars, restaurants, and grocery stores; a ski bus stop and cable cars providing access to the mountains are also within an easy walk.
Rooms
Simple and spacious Alpine-style rooms
The rooms are simple, with high, pine ceilings. All rooms are spacious, and while more expensive rooms are larger and some have extra beds, the amenities remain the same regardless of price. Most rooms feature balconies with views of the Dolomites, and all rooms have a small, flat-screen TVs. Wi-Fi is included. Bathrooms are large, but not fancy, with stall showers or shower/tub combos. In-room massages are possible for an extra fee.
Features
Spa and excellent on-site restaurant
The small spa features a pool with a whirlpool area and poolside massages, as well as steam baths, Tyrol-style saunas, a bio-soft sauna for those who like less heat, and cold fog showers. Poolside massages and a tanning solarium are available for an extra charge. The Wellness Center and pool are closed on Sundays.
The on-site restaurant gets solid reviews, but the hotel's location in Canazei center allows guests the option to dine out as well. Breakfast and traditional Trentino-style dinner (hearty cuisine, dairy and pork-heavy) are included with half board rates; breakfast and full-board rates are also on offer. From December to March the hotel features an evening piano bar.
Pets are not allowed at the hotel.
