As part of our car journey home to the UK having stayed in the South of Spain for two weeks we wanted to drive through the Pyrenees instead of the standard motorway journey.
What a fabulous route, was so easy to drive once we had turned off the main motorway from Barcelona to Lleida A2 we found that they have nearly finished building a motorway to continue from Lleida up to Barbastro from here we turn and follow the river to the ancient town of Ainsa which is so pretty, we had wished we had booked to stay here but that can be another time. Driving this route through the Pyrenees is breathtaking and plenty of places to stop and take pictures and an excellent route between Spain & France.

The Hotel was lovely, its a large grey building just set back from the main road with a huge free car park. Its a typical mountain Spanish hotel in structure run by a family I believe? A warm welcome, English a little poor but we all managed. We had a large spacious room on the 1st floor over looking the car park but with amazing views of the mountains. We had a little balcony that we could step out on to and breath in the mountain air and hear running water in the distance. The bed was two large singles pushed together which was fine, a big wardrobe and dressing table in dark wood to match the shutters on the window. The bathroom was huge and extremely modern more in keeping with a posh 5 star boutique hotel in London. The TV did not really work but then you are in the middle of nowhere, but we had free wifi which we used on the laptop and Iphones. No tea making facilities but they did provide us with a pot of hot water as we had are own tea bags and cups.

It cost us just under £100 for a 3 course meal including a bottle of wine, bed & breakfast which we thought was excellent value.

Dinner was in a big dining room, a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts and a bottle of wine per couple, very nice and saved having to try and find somewhere up a mountain! The bed room was very comfortable, if not a little warm from the heating, with no noise from either outside or our neighbours. Breakfast was a selection of cereals, cold meats & cheese but somelovely pastries which set us up for our journey ahead of us.

It was well worth the visit and the hotel suited our requirements, we would recommend it to friends & family, especially for a stop over through the Pyrenees.

We booked a renovated 1st fllor room, which was fantatstic value, there's plenty of parking, great views and friendly staff, no complaints whatsoever, the room, breakfast and dinner (which was superb) inc wine came to just under 100 euros. The village is also worth a wnader into for a few beers and pretty street etc

We have been staying at the Hotel Bielsa twice a year for at least 10 years. This location is just a few miles from the Spanish/ French border and is a quiet and spectacular way to enter Spain.
The hotel is situated approximately 200 metres from the centre of the small town of Bielsa which is often crowded with french tourists there on a day trip.It is only 14 kilometres from the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park.
All the rooms that we have stayed in have large twin beds with private bathroom consisting bath/shower, wash hand basin, WC and bidette. Rooms have small balcony with impressive views whichever side of the hotel you are in. There is a lift. All rooms have a TV, telephone and air conditioning. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The management are in the process of upgrading rooms and at the moment you have a choice of the more modern Superior room or the Standard room for a few euros less - both are good value for money
There is a public room and a bar which remains open until 23.00
There is a large restaurant which has a change of menu every day. Usually the evening meal includes a bottle of wine. The menu is varied and caters for most likes and is good value for money. Breakfast is of the buffet type and is taken in the restaurant. There is adequate free parking in the hotel grounds.
Possibly the only criticism is due guests who seem to be unable to shut doors quietly which tends to echo down the corridors but this is no fault of the owners. The staff are all very friendly and obliging. The restaurant gets crowded and noisy when a coach party is staying
