Hotel Taüll

We were supposed to stay four nights, but after two we were already looking elsewhere. Six of us were squeezed into a tiny space, constantly bumping into each other. There was no storage, so our things had to go back in the car or under the bed. The stairwells had no lights, which felt dangerous. There was no heating. The gas heater didn’t work, and the electric one, which took up so much room, didn’t work either. After one freezing night an engineer came, said he’d replace it, and never came back. This is a ski hotel, and we had no heat for a second night. The place was relatively clean, but looked like it hadn’t been refurbished in 15 years. The poor receptionist was alone with hundreds of people waiting to check in, and the wait was 40 minutes to an hour. After showers, with the windows shut because the room was so small, it smelled putrid. The food was okay but nothing special. The location was okay, though you have to drive to a ski resort. People call it cheap, but for what you get it’s a rip-off. You’d be more comfortable in a prison cell.
