Hotel Xalet Verdú

La verdad que ha sido una buena experiencia. El personal de comedor, encantador tanto Morgen como Goret (tal vez no lo haya escrito correctamente), de diez. El personal de recepción, amables y muy simpáticos, Dani, Sole y otra chica , muy atentos. El personal de limpieza, siempre a punto... nada que objetar....

From the moment of arrival everything was fantastic. We had warm welcome at the reception and been shown our room. Our room was on the 2nd floor with the mountain view. Bathroom was very clean, towels changed daily, shower with a good pressure. Whole hotel was very quiet at night no need for earplugs. Breakfast served from 8am included eggs/sausages/ bacon/ beans loads of lovely breads, at least 5 different types of cheeses and meats. Muesli/ cereal, fruits, yoghurts, milks - including vegan - soy and oat milk. Dinners were great choice of meats/ fish for main and buffet. The hotel catered for me specially as I'm vegan, every evening I had separate dish prepared, all very tasty, most of the soups of the day were vegan too - best soups I had in a while. Cheap but delicious house wine 3.5 euro for a generous glass, you can buy a bottle and they will label it and keep it for you for next meal. All staff very friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for more. Great location , there is a bus stop just outside the hotel, bars, restaurants all in a walking distance. I really recommend the Irish bar for great atmosphere and the hunters - nice food and beer, reasonably priced. Great holidays!!!

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.
