Nuria Valley, Queralbs hotel rooms at the Independent

"Awful. I stayed at Apart-Hôtel Le Pic de l’Ours and had a very frustrating experience. The hotel advertises WiFi, but in reality it only works in a small part of the building. As I was there for work, this made my stay unworkable. I contacted reception to explain I needed to leave early, but received no response. When I finally spoke to someone (reception is rarely staffed), a refund was refused despite the misleading information. The accommodation itself felt tired, with noticeable noise from other rooms — more like student halls of residence than an apartment complex. Overall, not as advertised and not suitable if you need reliable internet."

"Room was surprisingly small."

"The hotel is located in a quiet, picturesque location. The reception staff is very friendly. However, the hotel itself is far from new. The carpet, furniture, and everything in the hotel are quite worn. My biggest complaint was the room cleaning policy, which requires you to vacuum and mop the floors, dust everywhere, and clean the kitchen and bathroom upon check-out, otherwise you risk losing part of your deposit. I would prefer the cleaning fee to be included in the room price by default."

"The hotel and location was excellent, my only concern was the price of the breakfast was expensive in comparison to what you can get a 5-10 walk to the square. The cost to use the spa i thought was also excessive 15 euro an hour per person and each time i checked it was empty."

"Small room with old carpet"

"We were surprised that the sheets and pillows were provided separately and we had to put them on ourselves. The pillows were low quality and flat. The location is convenient though not walkable to a lift. The pool closes at 19:00 so don’t expect to go after dinner. "

"The staff are excellent, professional kind welcoming. The "

"Spectacular rooms, beautiful little castle. Good service. Love the place. Bathroom as big as an apartment "

"Cute cycling-themed hotel. Great-sized room, excellent condition, quiet and comfortable. We did have some issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. And noting parts of the hotel are being renovated so we couldn't use the shared spaces. A mini fridge in the room would be an excellent addition."
