Hotel Vall de Nuria

We only looked at the hotel itself. We were on an excursion that took us on a tram/cog railway from the bottom of the mountain all the way to this resort. It was during the shoulder season - still a bit of snow, but not much. And not many people there, even tourists. We stopped at the bar to get something to drink - the restaurant was too high-brow to let us in for something that 'light'. They were for full-meal-deal only. We got a couple of hot chocolates that were really strong and really creamy...and really good. It's a bit far to say I'll be going back. But if I was in the area I'd consider stopping there again. It's literally only accessible by the tram.

Hotel Vall de Núria is located in the center of Núria Valley, in a amazing place surrounded by mountains in Catalan Pyrenees. We stayed in an apar**ent, which was very nice. It has all we needed for 4 friends with a total-equipped kitchen/eating-room, a bedroom and a bathroom. We could cook and dinner comfortably the first night. Also the main hotel has a buffet restaurant, where we ate very good and really the dishes we tasted were very good (except the grilled meat, which was only normal). Also, from the apar**ent is possible to begin some of the fantastic hikes in the mountains, so it is a perfect place for mountain-lovers. On the other hand, the room was a little small and sometimes we have problems to move the 4 friends in the room. (See also Vall de Núria, Cremallera de Núria and Capela de Sao Gil)

We enjoyed a magical 5 days staying at Hotel Vall De Núria with our teenage children. Daily walks exploring the incredible mountain ranges, picture postcard views at every turn. The easier options and variety of pathways meant that we could try something new every day. The cable car (€3 with proof of your train ticket purchase) was a great addition to our day and we used it several times. The food was a healthy, hearty Spanish buffet (we recommend getting full board as it is pricey at €22/head if you purchase it separately - as we found out on our arrival) The hotel itself is basic but clean and functional. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. It can be noisy (dogs, children and noise in rooms above) but we weren’t bothered by this at all. All the mountain air ensured a good night sleep! A highlight was rowing on the mountain lake (around €6 for half an hour) and we enjoyed this activity twice. The lake itself provides a lovely after dinner walk too. Other activities include mini golf (€5) which entertained us all for over an hour. Families and those with younger children could also enjoy an outdoor park, a play area with slides/trampolines (range of fees depending how long you use it) and pony rides (also additional fee). The bar provided a lovely spot for before or after dinner drinks. We absolutely loved our stay in Vall De Núria and we all left with many happy memories and a promise to return.

Stayed here for one night before hiking over the mountains to France. My room was small and simple, a little old style, but completely ok if you do not expect luxury. Breakfast was quite large. Plenty of activities in the valley. Note: you get a discount-coupon of 25% on the rack railway once you book the hotel!
