Ok so im seriously not one to be picky. This hotel was very cheap so granted i wasnt expecting the Ritz. Im not one thats gonna put photos of mould in the corner of the room and ripped bed sheets... it wasnt THAT bad. The noise was terrible as everybody seemed to ignore the keep your ski equipment in your lockers rule. This was at every time in the day and night.. i was lucky im a good sleeper however my boyfriend isnt and often had trouble sleeping. I wouldnt say the hotel staff are the friendliest bunch of people, but the Airtours rep Dee (scottish lass) was brilliant and very helpful. I think the hotel was in a good position however as someone has pointed out before: when you have been traveling for nearly 12 hours straight, the last thing you want is to get dumped by your coach and told you have to walk to your hotel, quite far away, uphill and in the freezin cold. We were told buses couldnt get upto where we were stayin but that isnt true as i saw a few buses up there. Plus whats wrong with giving us a short mini bus ride up there with our luggage?
Another thing that peed me right off was the 100 euro per person deposit we had to give when we got there. Now i wasnt told about this and i had only brought 270 euros spending money with me anyway. I basically had to struggle and we had to visit the bank twice with my boyfriends card because we kept running out of money (Pas de la casa is VERY expensive). Its a good job there was a bank or we would of probably been beggin for food as they didnt give us our deposit back till 6am that morning when we flying... some use that was to us now! We also had to mop our own room, make our own beds and take our rubbish out in order for us to get our deposit back- stupid!! I go to hotels to get away from all the household chores!!
Thats it really. I have to say if i cheap deal came up for next year i would prob stay there again if i had to but i wouldnt take a little more money!

This place was great, I would ignore the really negative reviews you see.
If you are looking for a good time, decent bar, fit barmaid (when I was there) the rooms are good, plenty of hot water and radiators to dry your socks on!
its a small 2 minute walk to the slope and its really not too far to the town centre. however it feels longer if you have to walk from the lifts at the resort centre at the end of the day.
It's best to leave the snow at the top of the row of bars and then its a short walk.
have a great time.

ok so after reading some reviews i was pretty much dreading my stay and almost attempted switching hotels, but i went and i was very pleasantly surprised, staff were very helpful, both in the hotel and the ski shop in the hotel, most of us took our own equipment but my friend rented. she swapped her boot 3 times and they couldnt do enough for you. the guy in the ski shop even hooked her up with discount lessons off his mate... ok so we were the party crowd that came home drunk at 5 am most nights.. and the receptionist was good as gold and was always up for a laugh. rooms were very clean. when we arrived t was around 2 am and the girl in the bar stayed open a bit longer for us. only thing i will say is its a very echoey hotel as its all tiles etc. expect to hear ski boots on the tiles in the mornings, and even though we were the rowdy party crowd, the one night, and one night only mind you hehe, we stayed in and had no problems with loud party apartments etc. towels were changed mid week and the one day we did have a bit of a problem with the lock on our door. it would lock but it was loose and they sent someone up immediately. all in all i was very pleasantly surprised by what i found. and would recommend to groups of friends not so much the older crowd but our group was aged 17- 28 and its cheap, and clean. great when your on a students budget and i would stay there again. infact im booked for next february. SEE YOU THERE GUYS =)

We got a pretty sweet deal on our holiday which included lift pass, flights and accommodation so were not really expecting that much, but was pleasantly surprised.

Starting with the negative, our main gripe was the cleanliness of the room, we were told it would be cleaned which ours wasn't for the duration of the stay, which meant it was pretty grubby by the end of the holiday, only other issue was having to pay a deposit especially as we were not told we could pay in sterling so had to pay 150 euros which we didn't get back until we checked out at 3.30 in the morning, so now have to change back. We weren't told you could pay in sterling, wish we had known, as it would have been a lot easier.

Having been to Andorra before, I knew about the drop off in the middle of town, and at least they took our luggage up this time, last time I had to carry it which was not so much fun. The transfer isn't very nice but there is nothing you can really do about that, thankfully ours were at night so we just slept most of the way.

On the plus side, having read some of the reports on here, I was a bit concerned about staying at the Sandi IV, but it was fine, it wasn't particularly glamorous, and our room was quite noisy, but it certainly had everything we needed, it did help that we didn't pay very much for our holiday, there was only 2 of us in our room and the snow was good.

I think they must have redecorated since some of the reports were written as the bathroom was actually quite nice, we had a kettle, toaster and microwave in the room, only thing missing was a corkscrew. I think technically our room would sleep 4 and that probably would have been a bit of a squeeze, but with 2 of us it was plenty big enough, and although we had our own snowboards, the chap in the ski shop was very helpful, and mended our boards for free. The lady on reception was brilliant, the guys were okay, not overly friendly, but helped us as and when needed.

Overall I have stayed in a lot worse budget accommodation, the staff were mainly friendly and helpful, and the room and location were fine. If you are a couple or a family looking for accommodation, I would probably consider going elsewhere, but if you are a group of friends who want somewhere cheap to stay you could do a lot worse.
