Parador de Arties

Parador en un lugar excepcional. Buen desayuno y buen restaurante. El personal és muy amable y professional. Las habitacions són amplias, el baño necesitaria una remodelación. És un Parador que està en un pueblo muy bonito y desde allí se puede hacer muchas excursiones

Location in the middle of the village of Arties is fantastic and hotel service is really great. The only inconvenients are small bathrooms and small swimming pool.

Esta era la segunda vez que visitábamos el valle de Arán. La primera vez hace unos 15 años, nos alojamos en este parador, así que fuimos a recordar viejos tiempos. El edificio se encuentra bien remodelado, es amplio y tiene grandes y cómodas zonas comunes. Estuvimos tomando algo en la barra de la cafetería. Cuando volvamos al valle volveríamos a alojarnos en este parador.

Artíes is a beautiful village, we travelled at the very end of the winter season so it was very quiet . An issue of visiting end of season is that they run out of some of the dishes at the restaurant but there were other good options so not a big deal. The bar and restaurant were great as usual with Paradores. We booked a duplex room, It was fairly compact and one ends up hitting oneself on the low ceiling or the spiral staircase. The room was cute but VERY VERY tired (and dark) there is an urgent need to update those rooms. The worst thing for us was the quality of steep. A hotel's main raison d’être is to provide a good night's sleep and it was a shame that it really was terrible, we did not sleep well over the 4 nights we were there. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, lots of pillows available though. The biggest problem for us was the central heating, it cannot be regulated locally so the bedroom area was quite warm; we mentioned this to the Reception team who told us to open the window, what a terrible waste of energy when Paradores take pride on their sustainability initiatives. So, we did open the windows but then had to be closed when it got too cold and so on and so forth through the night, with the additional bonus of the chorus of lovely birds from the early hours to keep you awake just as you were about to drift off out of pure tiredness. I would have also expected to have had some room comforts like robe and sleepers, specially to go down to the swimming pool; we did ask at Reception for that very reason but we were told that there was a changing room in the gym. Overall, except for the poor quality of sleep, it is a lovely mountain parador and Artíes and the surrounding area are beautiful. On departure, I mentioned the above to the Reception team (Nuria) who mentioned that there's a renovation programme in the cards which is great news and hope to visit again when it is completed.

Experiencia decepcionante en comparación con otras anteriores en el mismo Parador. Puedes aceptar que el Parador lleve sin renovarse muchos años, o que la televisión de la habitación no funcione durante más de una semana. Pero no que hayan cambiado el personal encantador y amable que este parador tenía en el pasado, por otro poco profesional, sin ninguna empatía hacia el cliente y sobre todo maleducado.

Excelente acogida y zonas comunes muy agradables Ubicación excepcional entre Baqueria y Vielha Recomendamos el parador
