Hotel Palarine

Cracking hotel incorporating a really inviting, buzzing bar, and a restaurant serving up delicious high-quality food. Comfortable, modern and impeccably clean rooms. All in all, wonderful hospitality from fantastic hosts. We can’t wait to return next year.

It’s actually hard to find anything bad to say about this hotel! The only ‘downside’ would be the fact that you are reliant on the buses to get to / from the slopes. But they were fairly regular, with a choice of two directions - and they were free! So we really can’t complain. (The Hotel also arranged several free trips to local resorts, one of which we were lucky enough to join - a really lovely bonus that we hadn’t expected, which was very much appreciated) We booked this holiday fairly last-minute through Crystal Ski, at a VERY good price. So our expectations were not sky-high. But we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. From the moment we arrived, when we were welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff, we felt completely at home. Our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and despite the bathroom being a little dated (1970’s pink and beige!) everything worked perfectly well and having a bath was a luxury we really hadn’t expected - very much appreciated after a day on the slopes. The hotel bar was lovely; open fire, comfortable seats, really good prices for drinks during happy hours, great entertainment on several nights, plus the friendly staff that were a recurring feature of the hotel - we really enjoyed spending our evenings in here 😊 And then there was the food… We had read the good reviews before arriving, and hoped that we wouldn’t be disappointed - and we most definitely were not! Breakfasts were good and plentiful, but the evening meals were just fabulous. A different theme every night, with a huge choice of absolutely delicious dishes. The only problem was trying to stop yourself from eating too much! It really was an unexpectedly good experience from start to finish, with much credit going to the staff of the hotel who were exceptional. Thank you Graham, Maria and every one of your team for a fantastic stay ❤️

I promise you, you will not find a better value for money, family run hotel, with food that is amazing in variety, taste and amount, in any ski resort I know of. Graham and Maria make you feel like a friend of the family from the minute you arrive. The rooms are not luxurious but they have everything you need and expect, they are clean and well maintained and the beds are comfy. This was our first visit to Andorra, and I can honestly say it wont be our last, but only if we can manage to book here again - I wont be going anywhere else, no one else has a stitch on them!

The most welcoming hotel superbly run so friendly. Food out of the world 5 star. Rooms ace I just love this place I dare anyone to find a fault. The bar is a trap you don't need to venture out at night it's all here. Came on cheap hol but I'd return any day if this was on offer.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Palarine, great hosts and friendly helpful staff. The other guests were all friendly so generated a really relaxed convivial atmosphere. No issues with buses to get up the hill to the gondola. Bus to Grandvalira picked up outside the hotel for a day skiing that area. Thoroughly enjoyed skiing in all areas. Good friendly atmosphere at happy hour in the bar and relaxed at dinner. We would definitely return.

March 10th- 17th 2024 : We had great Snow this week . Our inaugural visit to Andorra marked a significant milestone in our skiing adventures spanning over two decades. Having explored numerous destinations and endured some less-than-ideal accommodations, we found solace in the convenience of this Hotel . Nestled in Andorra, we discovered Hotel Plarine , a quaint yet charming hotel, boasting modest yet immaculate rooms meticulously tended to by the hospitable staff. Despite the snug ski room lacking boot heaters, the culinary offerings surpassed expectations all around , tantalizing our taste buds with delectable delights, while the evening entertainment fostered a great atmosphere among us and guests. The exceptional service from the bar staff extended beyond hospitality and were always on hand with lots of information on the area , with seamless Wi-Fi connectivity facilitating remote working if needed , allowing for timely excursions to the slopes each day. Such exemplary standards warranted our hotel a commendable rating of 6/5 top marks from us , surpassing the conventional five-star scale. However, amidst the idyllic setting, a glaring inconvenience marred our experience – the Buses. These two services, comprising a free option and the paid L5 service, presented logistical challenges and considerable frustration. Despite the nominal fee of €1.90 each way for the L5 service, only cash payments were accepted. Frequent delays compounded the issue, with protracted waits at the bus stop, sometimes enduring up to 20-30 minutes. Moreover, the inability to transport skis on the free service necessitated cumbersome loading into the bus's undercarriage, resulting in a chaotic pile-up of equipment. This stark contrast to the superior bus services experienced in other resorts underscored the need for improvement. A simple solution presented itself: if the hotel proprietor were to implement a shuttle service to ferry guests to the slopes during peak hours in the morning our holiday experience would have been flawless. We would have paid extra for this service , distance to the slops , only 2km or less away . Even it was only in the morning as we could find our way home in the evening . The bus drivers were lovely , But their reluctance to assist passengers, particularly families with young children, exacerbated the challenge. Thus, we appeal to the Andorra Council to rectify these shortcomings, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all visitors. In conclusion, while our trip to Andorra had its moments , we came home with cherished memories from this lovely family run Hotel .
