Soldeu Maistre

We stayed here as part of a Crystal Ski trip. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We received a warm welcome and all the staff were friendly, helpful and speak excellent English. Our twin room was warm and comfortable with a decent amount of space for a ski resort. There wasn’t much storage space beyond a wardrobe with one rail but we managed ok. The food was really good, plenty of variety at breakfast and dinner - some dishes were really excellent. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced. Be aware the hotel is about 200m from the main gondola, a slight uphill walk. There are lockers but there is no heating so take your boots to your room if you want to be able to get into them! Dinner is t served until 8.00pm but it is all buffet style so you’re not waiting around. Apparently that is the traditional time to eat here but it’s strange to us after a day of skiing. When we were there, outside school holidays, it was quiet with older guests so we didn’t get disturbed at night. Our holiday was on a fairly low budget so the hotel represents good value for money and we would happily stay there again.

I stayed in this hotel for a week in a twin room which was clean. Beds were very comfortable. Shower worked well. This hotel is situated just off the main street and was quiet. The staff clearly want you to enjoy your stay and work hard to achieve that goal. The food is good with a wide choice of Catalan dishes with the odd burger and chips available. Food is served as a Buffet so there is plenty of it. There are free ski lockers which will hold 2 sets of skis/ snowboards. I really enjoyed my stay here and will probably stay here again. Small grumble about the WiFi; it kept dropping out but it did work. More hanging facilities for airing/drying jackets or other clothing would have been nice. Other than that I would definitely book here again.

Just back from a week’s stay as a family of 4. Overall, it’s a good experience, could be even better with a few improvements. Positives: - Super clean, cleaning staff do a fantastic job. - Plenty of hot water & rooms had baths & showers. - Comfy beds & warm rooms. - Friendly staff - 5-10 minute walk to gondola. - Breakfast, was the same every day but tasty hot & cold options. Lots of coffee selections & 2 choices of juice. - Dinner salad, soup & desserts. These were delicious! - Drinks prices were good, 2-3 euros each for soft drinks or beer. Free jugs of tap water with dinner & a free sangria on our first day! Negatives: - The WiFi. Having to rejoin regularly was annoying but would have been ok if it worked! WiFi was very slow & lost connection regularly. Recommend you get an eSIM with extra data instead. - Dinner hot buffet options, limited selection, not always to our taste. Fussy eaters will struggle. - There are ski lockers in the basement (10 euro deposit for locker for 2 sets skis/boots), but it’s very cramped & we didn’t fancy the walk in ski boots over slippery cobbled streets. We hired a locker at the base of the gondola instead (85 euros for locker for 4 sets skis/boots for 6 days).
