Family of 5 (2 rooms) stayed for 3 nights in mid week late Feb whilst skiing at Baqueria Beret. Booked via the hotel's website we paid ~70 Euros per night for the double and ~99 Euros per night for the triple - which was just a slightly larger room with a reasonable 'put-up' bed. Prices included an excellent buffet breakfast.The hotel itself is positioned on the outskirts of Betren on the main road to Baqueria. It was a 15 min drive up the mountain to the resort where there is plenty of free covered and open parking. The main 'high street' of Betren is a 5 minute stroll away so there are plenty of eating options. We found the restaurant ¿¿¿adjacent¿¿¿ to the hotel (visible from the hotel & adjacent to the lower car park area) very good value on the first night and then tried out the various bars, etc further down the street.The ground floor contains a ski locker and reception. The 1st floor has a decent bar area, the restaurant and a pool/table football room. There is free open air parking outside the hotel. We had about a foot of snow whilst there and there car park was not cleared in the morning but the hotel did provide a couple of shovels for each person to dig their own car out.The ¿¿¿indoor¿¿¿ swimming pool is actually an outdoors pool with in a ¿¿¿glass dome¿¿¿ with an enclosed tunnel leading from the bar to the pool. It¿¿¿s nothing special. The swimmers dashing through the bar to/from the pool provide some entertainment. The bar itself is pleasant but does get very busy towards 8:00pm when the restaurant opens (we assumed that everyone, all French as far as we could tell, was on the half board option as the price listed was not cheap).The rooms themselves were fine and comfortable with a good supply of hot water. The free wifi was unusable in the rooms but was OK in the bar. I¿¿¿ve given it 4 stars as it did what it did and did it well. Helpful staff, good location, clean and comfortable, good value and I¿¿¿d be happy to stay there again.

Nice place if you like skying. Been there several years. Food quality is less better than what it used to be.

Actually this hotel is located in a small town called Betren right beside Vielha, the capital of Aran Valley. It's just 1 km away from the busy street of Vielha. It costed us 76¿¿¿ + 7% IVA (Tax) for a double room including breakfast. They even have a big parking area for their guest for FREE. It is a very good rate as compared to those hotels in Vielha, whereby they charge at least 80¿¿¿ + 7% IVA (Tax) for a 2 or 3 stars hotels. On top of that they charge between 8¿¿¿ to 10¿¿¿ to park you car.During this time of the year, parking is a great problem because it's a peak season. Therefore, we really appreciate the free parking. We parked our car there and go to Vielha by foot, which is just 5 mins walking distance.The hotel itself is very present. The staffs are very friendly and efficient. The room is very clean and spacious. We were unlucky to be given a room (N¿¿ 132)right on top of their resturant's kitchen. There were lots of noise during dinning period and it only stops when the resturant closes.I called up to enquirer if I'll be charge calling a local toll free number with the telephone in the room. I was told if it's a toll free number, I'll not be charged. Hence I made a call of about 10 mins to a local toll free number. Later I realized that I was being charge almost 3¿¿¿ for this toll free call which was supposed to be FREE! When I asked the staff, he said he can't do anything about it. It's incredible!!! 3¿¿¿!!! I would have used my cell phone instead. A lesson learnt.The breakfast was very good with a lot of choices and the staffs were very attentive.Don't mind going back again but to avoid room 132 and also avoid using their telephone.
