Pros - Location only 100 metres from Soldeu ski lift. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast and friendly staff. Cons - 2 star rooms, overheated and poorly furnished (no shower curtain, no chairs or bedside cabinets). Outside noise from pubs and clubs and pedestrians. The evening meal left a lot to be desired, the food was of low quality and badly prepared.... More

The context We are a couple that picked Soldeu because of the good reviews of the slopes and the tuition. We previously went to Austria so were used to the smaller hotels and Spa facilities. We picked the Himalaia because of it's proximity to the gondola and that it had free spa facilities... We paid £511 for half board and... More

I agree that this is not a typical 4* hotel in terms of luxury, but we have just come back from a week there and had a really positive experience. Maybe some specifics will help give context to previous reviews, as having read other reviews I wasn't overly optimistic. So, the main topics... 1. Heat - yes, the rooms are... More

Just come back from a week at the Himalaya. Stayed in room 108 on the 1st floor which is right above the Harp bar! Music so loud until 3am police were even called. Hotel wouldn't move us to another room so never slept for the whole week. Some of the food was cold at the evening meal and when we... More

This hotel was very good. We were in a large group of 19 and not one of us could fault it. It was warm and clean with a very good selection of breakfast and evening meals. It has large social areas and a very useful spa. I probably would not consider it a 4 star hotel as advertised but for... More

Great central location for the gondola and apres ski. Not a 4* hotel but not 4* prices either. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean hotel, big rooms. Add all this to the sunny weather and deep snow (Feb 2013) made this our best ski holiday in the last 10 years.

We were at the Himalaia at half-term for eight nights, and most of this repeats what others have said. Himalaia’s not a four-star of the calibre of the Sport hotels down the road, but then it’s nowhere near their price either. For a start it’s very central and convenient, although the ski lockers are a little further from the ski-lift... More

Excellent value for money. Most of the other reviews are about right (food can be lukewarm, hotel can be hot) but you can always turn the thermostat down or warm it in the microwave. huge rooms, friendly staff, extremely clean, great gym/spa, nice food, fantastic bar area, brilliant location. If you are looking for a great value hotel in a... More

This hotel is rated as 4-star but I'm not sure on what basis. Just back from a week at the hotel and it was not agood experience. Food was at best lukewarm and the quality was very poor, bedlinen was a bit grimy, staff were rude and the heat was overpowering and made the stay extremely uncomfortable. The location is... More
