For people who moan that this is a long way from Bielsa and there is 'nothing to do', do your research! Then you will see that this 'Pyrenean Shelter' is at the head of a stunning valley. It is glorious. I could have sat all day on the first floor bar terrace looking at the fantastic geology. We were on a motorbike tour and spent four nights here. Yes, it is a long road coming into and out of the valley, but so worth it for somewhere to stay. We have no complaints - the suite we had (a junior suite which was the only room available when we booked a year ago) was lovely. It was at the back of the 'extension' but still had lovely views. We had food every night (part of the Brittany Ferries package) and it was superb. Our only complaint was that we were not used to eating so much!
We had one day off the motorbike and went for a walk up the mountain to the plateau above. In total it took us 5 hours but was SO worth the walk up a well defined track - which vehicles use to supply the 'refuge' at the top. Other people went a more direct way but we are told it is steep and a bit scary! Our route was easy apart from the fact we were walking up a mountain! The plateau and all the animals at the top plus a view of the glacier - heavenly! I would most definitely go here again.

I stayed here for one night whilst motor biking through Spain to France. I love the parador chain and have stayed in several of them so was very much looking forward to this one as a new experience.

Overall I would have to say I was a bit disappointed. Firstly the hotel location doesn’t mention that it’s actually 10 miles from Bielsa along a river side road. It does have spectacular views of the mountains but you are in a valley so you see nothing else. Secondly my room was a bit dark and on the small side so I opted for the upgrade to the suite. It promised spectacular views which to be honest were no different from the original room. And as a suite I was surprised to find that to get to the bathroom I had to walk through the living room and entrance lobby. Not so good.

The restaurant was ok but nothing special at all. At best I would describe it as adequate.

Overall I was disappointed and would not consider that I received value for money which for this chain of hotels is unusual. As I stated I have stayed at other parador locations and they normally get my highest reviews. I’m sorry that this one isn’t.
