Hesperia Andorra

Good location and room. Amazing view from rooftop

On the Eastern end of the city centre this hotel provided a great base for a short stay in the city and I’d certainly consider again. It looks more like a modern office from the outside but the spacious lobby and bar as soon as you enter always gives a good welcome when you arrive back. There only ever seemed to be one member of staff working the reception desk, so on occasions the queues to check in built up, but otherwise arriving was seamless enough. My room was on the third floor and directly opposite the lifts, which fortunately didn’t cause any disturbance during the night as I originally feared. The room was a good size and although a little basic and dated provided a comfortable stay, along with a nice view towards the centre of the city. The bed was large with a good number of electric sockets at both sides, there was a large desk and although the mini bar was empty there were complimentary bottles of water provided. The bathroom was also a bit dated but perfectly clean and the shower head above the bath was decent. No gowns but the towels were nice enough along with the toiletries and the room gave a decent few night’s sleep. One of the reasons I booked this hotel was the roof top bar, so it was a shame this remained closed throughout my stay despite the weather being glorious. Although there’s some nice seating, reading material and the fireplace, the bar on the ground floor isn’t quite as impressive and it’s also a shame it closes promptly by 11pm, despite a member of staff still being there to staff reception. It’s a decent hotel in a good location, surrounded by good restaurant options and walkable to the main spots. With the value it offered I’d recommend and would certainly consider staying again.

We expected a 4-star customer service, we received an arrogant customer service. - upon arrival, we parked at the garage of the hotel not knowing they were all occupied. Instead of a warm welcome at the front desk, the first words mentioned were: “first move the car out of the garage, then we’ll proceed with the check in process”. After checkin, they explained us where to park the car. However, with missing details. On our own, we downloaded an App from the parking lot next to the hotel and even received 40% discount. Such information I would expect from a 4-star hotel. - Sauna/Swimming pool area: the hotel has 120 rooms. They have 20 spots per day to use this area, meaning 20 rooms per day can actually use the sauna and swimming pool during a single day. During our 3-day stay, the first two days were fully booked. For the last day, some of the slots available were at 1am and 2pm. We talked to the manager to see what she could do for us, we booked the hotel because of the sauna and swimming pool area. She did not provide options and again arrogantly said that on the web page it says “upon availability”. Legally OK, on the customer service side terrible.
