Good Points

Food was quite good.


Bad Points

Dirty rooms, bed collapsed, no kettle in kitchen, we were told to boil water for tea in the one handled casserole pot. Incredibly hot in rooms on some days, then no heating on others. To toast the bread at breakfast costs 1 euro, very limited cereal. Staff in the restaurant varied in friendliness, some very nice others incredibly unhelpful. Had to wait upto 45 minutes for a table at dinner despite being booked in for half board.


General Comments

The hotel El Pirineu was the worst 3* hotel I have ever stayed at. On arrival we were given one key, despite us saying that we had booked 2 studios (at £700 for the week per studio). We were assured that the rooms were interconnecting but then discovered that the second studio consisted of bunk beds in the hallway. The bathroom was dirty and was then not cleaned until 4 days later and only when I told reception, there was however a card in the room saying that it would be cleaned every day.

The kitchenette was pretty useless as there was no cutlery or mugs when we arrived. After finding a mug we then had to overcome the problem of no kettle and were told to boil water in a casserole pot with just one handle, not an easy task.

The food was generally good, though the hotel made no effort to cover their tracks when recycling the food from the night before! The french onion soup was lovely, however when poured over the sausages as onion gravy the next night it wasn't quite as appealing. Also there was no vegetarian option for 3 nights. Finally I feel that charging 1 euro to toast the bread that we would eat for breakfast anyway quite ridiculous.

These are just a few of the rather unpleasent aspects of the hotel El Pirineu!
