Hotel Xalet Verdú

The hotel was very good value for money. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but excellent accommodation within this price bracket. The breakfast was very generous with a good variety of foods and we enjoyed a tasty evening meal on a couple of occasions.

Excellent location; simple but clean rooms with good facilities; helpful staff;

The location is excelent: at the edge of the village, close to the beginning of walking paths into the forest, with a wonderful view of mountains. Rooms are big, lovely decoration, very clean. The windows are big, allowing for a lot of light and fresh air. The guy on the reception who did speak English was very helpful. All the stuff was pleasant. Breakfast was not very varied, but each item was of very good quality. Overall, the hotel just gives you a pleasant feeling. It's comfortable and welcoming.

1. Not all the stuff at the reception desk speak English on a satisfactory level. One of the women didn't speak English at all, which was a little problematic, since it was her we've met when checking in. However, all tried to help as well as they could. 2. At breakfast there were absolutely no fruits or vegetables, fresh or otherwise. While the quality of the food that was there was excelent, I found this lack frustrating. It would be expecially problematic for people adhering to a vegetarian or a vegan diet. 3. Apparently there are no non-smoking rooms in the hotel. Our room reeked of cigarette smoke when we first entered it. The smell disappeared entirely after a few hours of open windows, but that left the room very cold at our return.
