We booked 2 rooms in the Hostaltina for our family for 8 days as we wanted a base to explore this area and do some walking and outdoor activities. The price seemed like excellent value when I booked, but soon after arrival it became obvious that the price was just the tip of this superb iceberg.||||The rooms were small and simple, but comfortable. The shower is superb, in case that is important to you. As we were there mid-summer opening the windows was great ventilation as there is no aircon. But as each room has 2 windows you get a good through draft.||||Our hosts simply couldn't do enough to help us. Señor was very helpful in telling us about good walks, places to go and things to do. Through his advice we went white water rafting and canyoning with a local company in Les which were both great fun.||||And then you come to the food! Breakfast is not included and at €7 initially seemed a bit pricey. But once we had the first one, we were hooked. Coffee or hot chocolate, fresh orange juice, local yoghurt, omelette, spanish ham and cheese, small croissant and pastries, toast and jam, for every breakfast. You don't really need to eat again until the evening, though we always did.||||We ate there 3 times in the evening (at the Trastienda restuarant which is part of the hotel) and were again never dissapointed. Great food, especially the local soup (Olla Aranesa), paella and local lamb. All washed down with nice Spanish wine or beer. ||||A great find and we are already looking forward...
Read moreOk where to start, this was a budget room but I did expect more. Our room was very small. The decor was very dated and scruffy. I don’t think the bathroom had been used for while and the smell from the drains made the bathroom unusable. The floor tiles stuck to the bathroom walls falling off. The hot water took over 5 minutes to get to warm never hot. We ate in the restaurant total disaster. I ate large prawns cooked from frozen so burned and tough, impossible to get out of the shell. My main was a fish dish that was at best ok. My wife had onion soap that was ok her main was a burger which she asked for well cooked yet arrived dripping with blood looked disgusting. The only saving grace from the whole experience was the Moroccan lady that met us and served us at dinner. A delightful lady bilingual I suggest she moves to an establishment she could shine...
Read moreHemos estado mi familia y yo esta semana pasada del 9 al 15 de agosto. La experiencia la puedo aconsejar al que me pregunte. Es un negocio básicamente familiar en el que Tere y Ion , hacen de la atención a tus necesidades , su trabajo. Te harán sentir super a gusto y te hacen las cosas muy fáciles. Todo el personal , tiene la misma consigna . Hacerte la vida agradable. (saludos a Gloria , que nos atendió siempre con su especial amabilidad) Puedes preguntar al propietario por rutas de montaña o cosas para hacer y dejarte guiar por sus consejos. La comida y el desayuno (estuvimos a media pensión) , muy bueno tanto en calidad como cantidad. (Tal y como dice el propietario , consiguen buen producto e intentan "no estropearlo" al guisarlo). Si además lo pones en un entorno genial , la terraza con las vistas a las montañas, ya lo tienes todo. Su fuerte es eso. El restaurante , del que ya tienen muchos años de experiencia. Si le quieres poner algún "pero" a la estancia , decir que el hotel no tiene ascensor (ya te lo advierten al reservar) y los que vamos a hacer montaña , pues no nos vamos a quejar de eso . Pero si tienes problemas de movilidad , tenlo en cuenta. El primer piso donde hay habitaciones es en el 2º. Tiene unas excelentes vistas al río y a las montañas, pero también a la carretera. Si necesitas abrir , escucharás el tráfico El edificio es antiguo , pero perfectamente limpio y acondicionado. Buenas ventanas y aislamiento. Tampoco esperes lujos de un hotel de categoría superior. Sin embargo , la proporción de precio y calidad es excelente. Totalmente...
