Hotel Dengan Gim di La Massana, Andorra

What a brilliant hotel! When we first arrived I was worried as we went down for dinner and I found a hair in my soup and my friend found plastic in her dessert so not a good start, but after that hiccup it all was fine. The following morning our key card stopped working. A member of staff came up and had to dismantle the device on the door. The card still didn't work after this, so the staff moved us to a suite on the top floor :) we were very happy with the outcome, the suite was lovely! The food was delicious with plenty of choice everyday. Having half board really helped as we were out allday skiing. We'd set ourself up in the morning then put on comfy clothes on for the evening meal which was from 7pm. What I loved about this hotel was how close the gondola was to take you to the slopes. We took the lift down to the basement, walk up some stairs and it was right there, this was very helpful. The hotel had a spa as well, we went in one night and it 10 euros each. It had everything you needed to relax, I especially loved the jacuzzi We really enjoyed staying at this hotel and would come back here again

I know that a review has to be balanced, and therefore it is probably best to start with the positives. The hotel location is spectacular, the swimming pool is decent and the grounds are well kept. Upon arrival, the reception staff were friendly and helpful. After that, there are huge problems with the hotel. The room is tired looking, with a slight musty smell and decor in need of an upgrade. The bed is an old wooden number that has seen better days and creaks like a pirates galleon. The room is boiling hot, with no functional air control. It has, thus far, been one of the worst nights sleep of my life. However, the main thing to avoid is the restaurant. For dinner, the kitchen serves a grand total of 5 dishes - 3 starters and 2 mains (pork and salmon - vegans should count themselves lucky not to be catered for). For starter, I had a ‘focaccia’ that was essentially a thick, tasteless doorstop bread of the type my bad grammar school used to serve to keep us sedated. This was covered in a layer of greasy cheese-adjacent substance and what could generously be described as ‘ham’. My wife had a goats (‘gods’ according to the menu, though what kind of benevolent deity would have inflicted this meal upon His children remains to be seen) cheese parcel. The parcel was about as well received as an Amazon Prime delivery that has been booted over next door’s fence. Onto the main, and the ‘pork’ was fatty and undercooked, served with a few slices of poorly fried potato that seemed to subliminally scream the word ‘sorry’. My wife’s salmon was an insult to a fishes’ memory - slimy and unappealing, tossed carelessly on some tired lettuce and a few beetroot cubes. The price of €25 per person may have been reasonable if that was the amount we were being paid to eat it. The most ridiculous part of the evening though was the service. About 10 waiters hovered around the dining room, a number that seems high until you realise that a separate team member performs each task. Drinks and bread was one waitress. Ordering food was a waiter. Delivery of the starter was another waiter. Another waitress collected the plates. Another brought the cutlery for the main. Another brought the main. Another dressed in a full bomb disposal suit delivered the bill. After a while it becomes obvious that it is a strategy to diminish responsibility through collectivisation - it’s like a philosophical conundrum- if a crap meal is served but no one actually served it, did it really happen? Unfortunately for us, the answer is yes, and I still have ten hours trying to sleep in this unbearable inferno. On this occasion, rather than ‘gods’ cheese, I suspect that both the meal and the room have been designed by the other guy…

Pues el hotel lo conozco de hace muchos años y me recibieron como cliente que he sido, nos dieron una buena habitación el la parte 5 estrellas, pero no por reservar a través de Tríp. Además reserve una habitación y luego allí me hicieron pagar una segunda persona, con un recargo adicional por mi mujer, y eso para mí es de mal gusto. Son ustedes unos mal quedas. La habitación que nos dieron no salía agua caliente y el desayuno aparte era para mí carísimo 18 e. Así que opté por bajar un solo día. Me dijeron que eran 9 e pero no fue así. El hotel está muy bien, pero llevábamos tiempo sin ir, pero creo que vamos a dejar de volver a ir, porque los intermediarios son poco eficaces, y van a ver a quien pillan de tontin

We're staying here at the moment on a ski trip and I'm putting pen to paper mainly to give the staff a huge thumbs up. All the staff are pleasant and helpful. The restaurant staff, bar staff and the cleaning teams, are absolute stars . So many smiling faces. I don't think we have had such consistency of high service, with such friendly staff anywhere. It's quite busy here in the hotel at the moment, with gatherings of large Spanish families, so you could understand if the staff let things slip a little, but no, they haven't. The bar and restaurant staff are unbelievably efficient and super friendly. The just don't stop. Maybe it's clever recruitment, good training, or just good people who do their jobs well. Whatever it is, it shines through and we really are appreciative of it. The reception staff are super helpful too. We had a light break and it was fixed within an hour of us reporting it!! Great service. The hotel delivered all that we would expect from it. Comfortable, clean, a decent buffet for breakfast and dinner and a buzzing atmosphere in bar. It's our first visit to the town of La Massana and we will definitely return. Lovely little town, with easy access to Andorra la Vella too. We have stayed in Soldeu a couple of times and although we like it, we prefer it here. I think it would be a beautiful summer destination too. Anyway, a final shout out to the amazing staff at Magic La Massana. You're definitely smashing it, in all the right ways.

This hotel used to be amazing under private ownership but now as part of a group it’s lost it’s charm, character and is sterile. The breakfast is double the price it was but very poor and limited. The dinner is a ridiculous price for what they offer which explains the dining room being empty the three nights I was there. Service is rude and non existent due to lack of staff. Worst - they now charge €15 per night to park. We are not in town this is middle of no where and a huge car park. Please, please don’t waste your money. This used to be my home in Andorra - I’ve stayed here 27 times in 4!years but for my next visit I will be staying somewhere else. Avoid.

La ubicación un poco mala porque está en la carretera con curvas. Tiene el hotel en un sitio y spa y bar en otro edificio... para ir al spa tienes que ir mojado por la calle... La comida y el servicio bueniiisimo

I did a lot of research on this hotel when I booked with Crystal Ski. I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Yomo Patagonia - the staff were all so lovely and helpful. The rooms are large and extremely clean, with stunning views. They do have single beds though! The hotel cleaning staff seemed fine with us pushing ours together temporally. Things to know. The restaurant is on the 4th floor. My room was also on the 4th floor right next to the restaurant, and this stressed me out when I first noticed, however I barely had any noise disturbance. I can imagine if there had been school trips though, this would have been an issue. The ski store room is easy to access and you guy rent padlocks from the front desk. The hotel is next to a ski lift that goes up to the slopes, you basically have a private ski lift and avoid any queues! The bar area downstairs do great cocktails and is a lovely place to relax. The best thing about this hotel was the hidden wood fired hot tub that you can book at the front desk. We did it twice and this is a memory I’ll remember forever. Definitely do it if you’re staying at this hotel!

Views were amazing, the room was old cabin vibes decor which I’m a fan of. A swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hot tub are included with the stay. There is a outdoor pool and bar also but that wasn’t open during my stay. Downside, the reception is on the opposite side of the hotel to our room. 2 elevators and quite the walk to get to the reception. The pool receptionist seems to disappear a lot meaning you cannot exit as you have to trade your room key to get towels. If you’re not driving, expect to taxi everywhere as the hotel is just out of the city.
