Hotel Xalet Verdú

This was an OK place. It’s rather faded – circa 1990. The interior was pretty stark, though it was clean. There was only 1 chair in the room which meant that one of us had to sit on the bed. There were a decent amount of towel bars/hooks and good counter space for toiletries. We had a nice little balcony with a partial view of the mountains, but there was no table on which to put drinks. The room did not have a fridge or a kettle with which to make coffee/tea. The website makes it look like it’s out in the country with beautiful views, but that is not the case. It’s on the edge of the town of Arinsal and the views are only partial and look down through the town. The dining room looked rather like a diner with plastic tablecloths and hard chairs. Dinners were pretty good (we had taken half-board thinking we’d be out in the country); the waiter was a bit aloof, but he warmed up over time. Breakfasts had a good selection of yogurt, cereals, breads, cheeses, meats, eggs and fruit – but there was no decaf coffee available. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. There was a faint odor of cigarette smoke most everywhere despite the prohibition of smoking inside – people were smoking right outside the front door and it wafted in. There is no A/C, so we had to leave the window open to get it cool enough to sleep. The towels and sheets/blankets need replacing – they’re kind of threadbare, though it was really nice to have sheets and blankets instead of only a duvet. Overall, it's an OK place for a night or 2. We wouldn’t necessarily avoid it, but we might look elsewhere if we were to return to the area.

Stayed here for the half term week with our two children. The hotel is fabulous. Only a 5 minute walk to the cable car so ideal for skiing. The rooms were basic but very clean and spacious. The two children had their own twin beds which was great. Food was fantastic - huge choice of buffet starters, followed by a choice of 3 mains and 3 desserts. The staff were all wonderful. Food quality especially the meat was exceptional. Breakfast was also very good and slightly different each day so didn't get repetitive, Highly recommend.

I just can’t fault this place. We went for New Year and had limited expectations given how good value the package was through Crystal Ski. The owners and staff made it a New Year to remember with a 7 course banquet, flowing wine, amazing hospitality and truly authentic Andorran experience. We were half board and the breakfast and evening meal continued to be of a high standard throughout the week. Nelo, the Head Waiter and his team were attentive and efficient The hotel is a short walk from the gondola and Arinsal Centre. The rooms are comfortable and clean. What more could you want?

This hotel was faultless, the staff were very accommodating. Food was amazing. Location perfect for the ski gondola. Would definitely recommend. From check in to check out the staff did everything they could to accommodate. The balcony room we had have a lovely view over the mountains

Would highly recommend this hotel !! Rooms are immaculately clean , spacious and kept at a comfortable temperature. Room came with a coffee maker which we did not use but a great addition. Always plenty of hot water and a full size bath which was welcome after a day on the slopes . I cannot fault the friendliness of the staff , they are very welcoming and nothing is to much trouble. The hospitality we received was without fault all week. The food was delicious, buffet breakfast with a wide selection to suit all, fruit , bread, cakes and cereal as well as a different hot selection daily . Dinner was well organised with a buffet starter which changed daily and always had a good choice for all. Main and dessert a selection of three options which never failed to disappoint! The hotel is slightly uphill from the main gondela in Arinsal, it makes the hotel a little quieter away from the main bars ect , but still only a 5 min walk . The free bus will also drop you right outside if you ask ,which is great if you are carrying skis ect. The hotel has ski lockers , or for those wanting you can rent a locker up the mountain , however this is only useful if you stay within the Arinsal area. We used the hotel lockers so we had flexibility over where we skied. I would not hesitate to return , the hotel offers a great base for the vallnord ski area and boosts incredible value for money . Thank you for a memorable stay !

My wife and I have stayed in this hotel many times before, 2 or 3 times a year for the past 10 years (excluding covid) and will continue to stay here in the future. Very friendly and helpful staff - nothing too much trouble. Plenty of food choice in the restaurant and as much as you can eat!
