We enjoyed the restaurant, the swimming pool, and the warmth of the hotel staff. The room was clean and correct, and had a balcony with views across the valley. Breakfast served from 7am to 10am. Evening eal from 8pm onwards

There is a great view from your balcony over the mountains and valley and you can even see Barcelona in the distance.

The bedding and towels seemed clean but we had no room service in the four days we stayed. They provide some basic shower gel and shampoo in packets.

The rooms vary greatly in quality... some have modern furniture and even air conditioning. Others (ours) have no air con and old worn and broken furnishings. Ours had a kitchenette and working TV but no safe, broken wardrobe doors, broken latches on the sliding balcony doors and even the room door lock was dodgy. The hairdryer in the bathroom was also broken.

We opened the balcony door and also the door to the corridor and window on the other side of the block so you get a decent breeze through to give a semblance of air con.

There are a lot of steps down to the pool and even more down to reception and the restaurant and bar. There are lifts but they are very slow and usually in use - often by staff - so be prepared to climb steps.

The pool is nice and clean and although the area around it is concrete they put planters out and there are loads of sunbeds (quite old and basic metal and fabric) but not really a problem once you've put your towel over it.

Breakfast was enjoyable with plenty of food in a buffet. Cereals; pastries, bread, toast, ham, cheese, coffee and OJ etc. Lunches and dinners were also good food and hearty portions. The waiting staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. Bar service was prompt and very cheap. In fact they clearly struggled with pricing the spirits and you can easily end up being charged just a couple of Euros for virtually half a pint of Cointreau!

The covered terrace is lovely place to eat or drink in the evening with a lovely view.

It is very cheap but a decent enough basic hotel for exploring the area. You have to be prepared to rough it a bit and check which room you are getting as it really makes a difference.

They offer parking but there is a free road to park on behind the hotel block and you have a back door key. Its a dead end so be good with tight 3 point turns.

Staff were very helpful and polite. There is lift access throughout the 2 buildings. Views are amazing across the Catalonian villages. The rooms vary in quality. The family rooms are spacious and clean. Fire escapes do not seem to exist but at the back of the hotel escape can be made from the 4th floor. The hotel is build on the banks of the mountain and so the land rises at the back of the hotel with the building. Food was good and served politely and considerately. A lovely terrace allows for a great view for an evening drink. The pool is nice, shallow (an adult can stand throughout) and cleansed with a salt/chlorine mix. An outdoor shower helps clear this chemical, but there are not changing facilities near the pool. There is an under-hotel car park which is 6 euros a night - but you don't need it - the road behind the hotel is safe and secure and rarely used by cars. it is not a through road.
