Hotel & Spa Xalet Bringue

Normally, Booking.com does me a dirty when booking places. I booked one night here and ended up staying for five. Upon my arrival I was met by staff and offered bag carrying. There is free parking out front ( snow brush and ice scraper available) or for 11 euros per night there is a garage. I had two dogs with me who slept in the vehicle, this was not an issue as all rooms are not road facing, if they had barked it would not have disturbed anyone. Just a two minute walk up the road is a trail to the river and park. Elleven minutes drive is Ordino Arcalis ski resort ( also free parking). My room had a heated floor, very owerful shower that maintained a constant temperature always, big double bed, large TV with all apps, USB and plug sockets each side of the bed. Room has a fridge. The hotel's wifi is fast with a strong connection. Plenty of very nice towels, robes also at no additional charge ( makes a nice change). The room has a thermostat which has very little lag on bringing the temperature up or down, impressive in a large room. The cleaner is exceptionally thorough and the room was turned out beautifully every day even down to mopping the floors. The staff are totally on point, super helpful and accommodating. They arranged the veterinary appointment for my dogs travel back to UK at no extra charge also. My medical conditions ( allergies) were taken into consideration and my room allocated away from the restaurant ( note I did not eat in the restaurant so cannot comment outside of breakfast). My room had a lovelly balcony with views down the valley and of the river cascading down the rocks. The Spa: I used this twice. Once it was busy and quite noisy and another time I had the place to myself which was Bliss. The Spa was an additional fee for 90minute session. The hot stone beds being my favourite. I spent an hour on one ( there are four) listening to audio books. The sauna and steam room are very good, the pool isn't big enough to swim in, worth noting. Good range of hydro jets and massage functions in the pool. There is also a gym on site and masseur offering various massages including sports. Breakfast: service is over 2 hours so it was not rushed nor crowded, I ate at various times and the food was kept fresh. Once the staff knew what you liked they were on point the next days, Remembering where you like to sit and what you need/want ( e.g. extra spoon, milk for tea, crispy bacon, your cheese melting on your eggs etc). Lovelly hotel and suited me perfectly 👌

This place is a gem! I really enjoyed my weekend stay in this beautiful location, the restaurant’s food was top notch (I tried their half board dinner menus on both nights and they were different, diverse and delicious - I included just some of the photos of the food, the rest was gone before I took a picture), breakfast selection was quite good as well. The best for me was the attention of the stuff - everyone is nice and kind, and the location - very peaceful surrounding, great views, close to the Tristania lakes hike. I also tried their spa - exactly what my body needed after the full day of hiking - it’s compact and has everything to relax and unwind. I recommend staying here and will go back myself.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The service was super, the meals were very good, and the rooms were clean. The rooms are a bit small. The little community bus stops right in front, which brings you into Andorra City.
