"Absolutely beautiful view from room window facing the river and the mountains, and convenient location. The room could have been a bit better maintained but in terms of having somewhere to sleep, use a private bathroom, and store my things, it was perfect. On my last night I had a problem with ants in my room but the staff were incredibly helpful and gave me a new room immediately. Check in and check out were both very easy and I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Andorra for a few nights."
"Andorra's national language is Catalan, I understand that. I made the mistake of wishing the receptionist at the hotel 'good day' in Spanish when I arrived. He did not reply at all - not even in English - and stared at me. I don't believe this is the correct response. I would have thought that replying in English would have been a more appropriate reply to my aberration rather than silence, especially from a hotel receptionist. It reminded me of when I wished a shopkeeper 'good day' in the Basque country - an awkward silence. "
"Very clean room and hotel. Very nice staff who spoke very good English. Very convenient for most of the areas of interest. 15 minutes walk to the bus station with a suitcase."
"The location was perfect, the room was clean, quiet, comfy, and we really enjoyed the little spa too! Staff was helpful, and we had a great time in Andorra!"
"Fantastic hotel in the center of old town Andorra la Vella. Very clean room and excellent variety in the breakfast buffet. Close to old town and many shops and restaurants. "
