This hotel ticked all the boxes, the rooms were reasonably spacious, very clean and with modern bathrooms containing both bath and shower. The hotel staff were polite, friendly and accommodating and the location for the lifts was very convenient - about two mins walk away, mostly on the flat but a couple of flights of stairs just in front of the lift itself.
The breakfast and evening meal were buffet style, which I am usually not very fond of, but the variety and the quality of the food was excellent and there was a chef available to cook things like fish and meat in front of you.
The facilities in the hotel were good - we went with quite a number of teenagers and there was both a games room and free internet available. My friend and I had a couple of massages, which were quite costly but really fabulous.
i would recommend parking your car in the municipal car park about 100 metres from the hotel as the hotel car park costs 15 euros per night.
The mountain restaurants in the Grandvalira ski area are totally naff - cantines serving poor quality, expensive fast food. We had a couple of delicious mid-day meals at a restaurant called la Borda, located at the bottom of the slopes in Pas de la Casa - the food and service were excellent and the cost was approximately the same as the rubbish in the mountain cantines.
Grandvalira do a 5 out of 7 day lift pass which is great if you want to miss a day through bad weather or if you want a change of resort (eg go to Arinsal). I wish more European ski resorts would offer these flexible lift passes.
All in all I would highly recommend both this hotel and the resort of Canillo as a base for Grandvalira skiing
