Hotel & Spa la Collada

Booked a family duplex room at La Collada as our original hotel in La Molina closed unexpectedly before the end of the ski season. It’s a really great hotel. The views are exceptional, staff lovely and kind to the children, and restaurant genuinely excellent for breakfast and dinner - particularly considering the location in a remote part of Catalonia. Rooms are perfectly good also - clean and good bathrooms in particular. Kids loved having their own ‘bedroom’ on the top floor. Location totally fine for la molina - 10 minutes to huge car park at pista larga for lessons and nursery slopes.

The rooms are simple but comfortable and clean. We had two rooms as we were travelling with teens. Unfortunately you can’t get interconnecting rooms if they are different types ( eg a triple and a double). The hotel is about 15 mins drive from the slopes at La Masella so not too far. The staff are nice and breakfast buffet is very good. We ate in the restaurant in the evening a couple of times ( a la carte) and the food was very tasty. I think it’s worth doing the maths on whether to go half board/ full board. The towns close by dont have many options and it was a hassle to drive 30-45 mins to the nearest good town for dinner. So eating in the hotel is an attractive option. The only bugbear I have is regarding the spa. It looks excellent but I think it’s totally ridiculous they insist on charging 20Euros extra per person to use it. And they make a big fuss about it being only for over 14’s but when I poked my head in a few times there were loads of Spanish people who’d taken their younger kids in. If they would just relax and make it included in the price of the room it would make the whole stay MUCH less of a hassle and give them 5 stars. The ley also offer trea**ents but my massage wasn’t worth it - after a day of skiing I wanted a nice Swedish massage but ended up paying 60euros to have someone basically tickle my skin because they only offered a ‘relaxing massage’. Overall a good option compared to others nearby.

Nice place surrounded by nature! Easy to get there with a car as there in a main road go go to la Molina! In winter they offer shuttle service to go to the ski slopes if you don't have a car. Room was nice and comfortable, we got some issue during our stay with shower hot water and central heating, but staff solved issue immediately. Hotel it self need some refurbished (carpet, especially in aisle, is old and used)Staff was warm and friendly. Restaurants was fine, for dinner was buffet. Spa must be booked in advance otherwise you will not have the chance to go in if fully booked. Not recommended for who doesn't have a car.

Nice hotel with beautiful views. The staff is very friendly and the room is comfortable. My only complaint is that the walls are thin, and you can hear the other hotel guests. Besides that, we had a great stay and enjoyed the spa.
