Hotels Near Riu La Valira in Les Escaldes

Reception: Majority of staff were mostly courteous, however did not always greet upon arrival and did not always acknowledge you while you waited. Room / facilities: Room number 417 is on the 4 floor and is clean. It overlooks the city and has a road and views of the flowing from your balcony. The self control air conditioning is somewhat confusing to operate, but did the job. The room had a balcony with a door that opens fully enabling guests to go outside. The room has a bar fridge, safe, older style flat screen tv, euro style memory foam pillows, (that i found terrible and left me nursing a migraine after the first night). Queen bed, sofa bed, table and chair, hanging area and luggage shelf. The bathroom had a shower/ tub combo with a multi purpose shower head. Day 2, the 168 kids arrived and the noise escalated from a tranquil setting to a wild playground. Kids played in the hall, yelling screaming, opening and then slamming their and friends room doors, knocking on unknown doors and running (mine). Some kids were polite to apologise when they realised they had the incorrect room. Reception were requested to intervene at least 7 times (face to face and via the phone), however this only sometimes restored the peace for a short period. The student teachers/ supervisors were nowhere to be found to settle the children. Not an ideal situation to be in for a relaxing stay. Parking: is available at an additional cost of €21 (at the time of my stay). The car park is very tight to maneuver around. Wifi: Complementary and good speed password required, this did slow dramatically once the 168 kids arrived to the hotel and were using their devices. Conclusion: Excellent position. River views Comfortable rooms. Right in the center of town. Letdowns: Kids permitted to stay and guests not provided this information upon checkin. Adult guests could have been allocated other separate floors and the children on other exclusive floors. Location / Nearby: Centre of the city and all its offerings. Letdowns Rushing water noise can be a bit much for some. Hotel not advising guests of the imminent arrival of 168 children and the accompanying noise. Getting to hotel: Best use GPS. Be aware of the last roundabout prior to the hotel and the 5th exit that goes down just to the right of the main road/bridge. its very easy to miss. The hotel name and parking signs are only visible when your 5 meters from the property. If arriving into Barcelona airport and drive to Andorra, do yourself a favour and turn off “tolls” on the GPS, the drive has spectacular scenery, and is only marginally longer and you will save €30+ in tolls.

Very comfortable hotel in a good location right in the centre of town and also literally a few seconds away from the coach stop for the buses to and from Barcelona airport which was really useful, particularly when arriving late at night like I did. Rooms very well appointed, bathrooms good with powerful showers. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and unlike the reviewer below, my experience was that they all spoke English very well.

Modern hotel in walking distance to spa, shopping, and restaurants . The superior rooms are above the river, shielded from traffic noise. Of, course, you need to like the sound of wild gushing water. The superior rooms have spacious tubs in addition to walk-in shower with rain fall head. Good selection of toiletry items, though some body lotion would have been nice. Ample breakfast choices, pastries, eggs, local cheeses, fruit, etc. However, nothing appropriate for brewing black tea. The water from the coffee maker is far from boiling, and there are neither teapots nor mugs to brew your tea. The waitress saw the point of the smallish coffee cups but couldn't help out. If you book via a platform and not directly in the hotel, there is a modest local tax to be paid.

Went to Andorra for a school skiing trip. The hotel was more than fine for a school trip, however, most people we met were racist towards my black, Indian and Pakistani friends. The locals shouted the n-word and the p-word most times we went into the town, and on the gondolas going to the ski resort, the workers there targeted my group and wouldn’t let us on the gondolas and gave us an extremely hard time. They tried to find any reason to kick us out and they even tried to have a few of us arrested! On our last night, we had local kids throwing rocks at our windows and threatening to come to our rooms. They had access to the hotel because they were allowed to use the games room on the bottom floor. We had to call the police and they couldn’t do much about it apart from take their ID’s.

The location is very good, just on the edge of the commercial street. When you are tired, come back and sit down. Buy more and come back and let it go. It is really convenient. It is convenient to go to the ski resort by bus. It is also very convenient.

The hotel is located at the end of the city or halfway up the hill. From the station it used to cross the entire city. When I saw the front desk of the hotel, I asked, ”Did you actually drive?” It’s probably watching me push a box and gasp. But breakfast is OK, the hotel has a free warmth to soak (it is quite cold 36. 7 degrees - on a relatively small pool, I just met a pair of foreigners when I entered, haha small place everyone squeezed or a Beauty.

Because Barcelona was too expensive for weekends, I drove to Andorra for one night. I did not expect more than 500 prices are not bad. The old house is very sensational, the service is OK, the room has a balcony, and the breakfast is okay. Finally, remind the hotel's parking lot in the building behind the main entrance. If you come from Barcelona, the hotel is on the left hand side and turns 90 degrees to the front of the main entrance. The uphill road is a large sign on the wall. 12 euros a night. Andorra is worth coming to shopping paradise, cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol is very good value.

This hotel used to be amazing under private ownership but now as part of a group it’s lost it’s charm, character and is sterile. The breakfast is double the price it was but very poor and limited. The dinner is a ridiculous price for what they offer which explains the dining room being empty the three nights I was there. Service is rude and non existent due to lack of staff. Worst - they now charge €15 per night to park. We are not in town this is middle of no where and a huge car park. Please, please don’t waste your money. This used to be my home in Andorra - I’ve stayed here 27 times in 4!years but for my next visit I will be staying somewhere else. Avoid.

Very nice hotel in the mountains. The personnel is very professional . Beautiful, tastefully decorated room. The meals are of quality. Spa a bit small but very nice. Very pleasant stay in a quiet area. Table service and hospitality at the top. Well done
