We were going to Andorra for the first time. The question arose of choosing an inexpensive hotel. And this is where the problems began: there are practically no reviews (especially fresh ones) about cheap hotels in Andorra. As a result, we settled on Oros 3 * in Encamp. It is very strange that there are practically no reviews about this hotel: half of the customers were our compatriots. Decided to fill this gap.
It is located, in my opinion, very well: practically in the center of the city (in any case, you don’t have to look for it for a long time through the gates), next to bus stops, where you can easily get to both the capital of Ardorra and the ski lift. There are 2 stops to the ski lift, so snowboarders can walk to it in 15 minutes. Nearby are two grocery stores, a bank with a 24-hour ATM, a bunch of pharmacies and other small shops. A five-minute walk is a local sports center with a swimming pool (we, however, were not in it).
The rooms in the hotel correspond to its star rating both in size and in content. In the room: two single beds with bedside tables and a wall lamp, a wardrobe, a mirror with a table and a cabinet, a chair (for some reason, one, although the room is double), a safe. In the bathroom: a washbasin with a mirror and a shelf, a hairdryer, a toilet bowl, a bidet and a bath with a shower. As for the room, we noticed only a couple of drawbacks: the lack of refrigerators and the super-mobility of the beds (they are on wheels there and any sudden movement leads to the fact that they just drive around the room). It is strange that with such an abundance of Russian speakers there is no corresponding channel on TV. Basically, they show Spanish channels, and even Eurosport. Moreover, during the broadcast of football matches, Eurosport is generally cut off and everyone is invited to watch the bar. By the way, Eurosport didn't appear after that. Another question is about soundproofing. Our windows overlooked "the courtyard", a river flows there, its noise was constantly heard. Our friends had a room - on the opposite side - there was road noise. It was also very good to hear what was happening in the corridor. But the neighbors were not heard at all. In general, you need to get used to it.
The service staff is quite friendly, but speaks poor English (except for the girl at the reception). Towels were changed daily, which can not be said about bed linen. Soap/shampoo was, we were changed as needed, but our friends had to go to the reception and beg. The burnt out light bulb was replaced on the same day.
Food. We had breakfast and dinner (both buffet style). Breakfast, unfortunately, poor and monotonous. Dinner left a double impression. In the first week it was very "so-so" (this applies to hot dishes), and in the second it was noticeably better. Cooked soundly, but without "pickles".
And a few more words about the hotel in general. Unfortunately, there is no storage room for equipment and a boot dryer. There is a ski and snowboard locker, but it is very small and is in the public domain. True, no one forbids storing all this goodness in the room. We had to dry our boots in the room. However, there is another option: luggage storage on the lift (storage - 3 euros per day, but it really turns out 6, since you need to take skis in the morning and put them back in the evening. Each opening costs 3 euros). The hotel also has a sauna (Finnish and Turkish baths plus a jacuzzi) and a small fitness center. An hour of visiting costs 6 euros per person, we visually examined everything, everything looks very good, but we didn’t manage to get there. Pleased with the availability of free Wi-Fi in the hotel. Foreigners (and partly ours) sat down every evening with their netbooks and talked with relatives and friends around the world.
In general, despite these shortcomings, we liked the hotel. If you go for a ride, and even with a good company, then you can close your eyes to all the above-mentioned trifles. I give the hotel a solid 4, and then, mainly because of the feeding. Everyone - have a good rest!
