Advantages: Great location, comfortable rooms Disadvantages: Not many facilities
The director of the hotel himself describes the Husa Meson Castilla as 'a simple two star hotel, but for those who are watching their budget, it is not only moderately priced, but also well located and offers an old-world ambience'. I would agree whole heartedly with this statement, but don't be put off by the lack of more stars. As you may know, stars are awarded for facilities in a hotel and not the standard of the rooms, etc. Whilst this hotel doesn't have masses of facilities, it does offer better-than-average comfort at very affordable prices.

The location is perfect. Just down a well-lit and fairly buzzing side street off the Ramblas, it's a mere five minute walk to the centre of the action. The nearest underground train station is at the top of the Ramblas (probably an extra two minutes walk) and is called ...
Advantages: cheap, good value, plenty of pubs & restaurants, mixed crowd Disadvantages: long journey, very little public transport
Pal Arinsal is the perfect ski resort for beginners or intermediates. It is well structured as beginners use different slopes than intermediates.
The skiing instructors are very nice and helpful.
In case you don't catch on they keep repeating the instructions over and over again.
Arinsal is a good spot to have fun because there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and even 2 or 3 nightclubs.
Apart from that there is the true beauty of that area.
The mountains, the wilderness, the blue sky...
And the best thing is -of course- the snow!
The best time to go is February/March as there is nearly always snow.
I was there in the middle of March and it was so hot in the mountains. I skiied in tanktop and got a nice tan.
2 days later the weather changed and we got plenty of fresh snow and teperatures dropped suddenly and I was happy I ...

Advantages: Ski School,Value for money Disadvantages: small ski area, mountain restaurants
After a very long transfer from Tolouse which goes past Pas de la Casa and Soldue you arrive an quite a nice little resort of Arinsal. Accomodation is varied from cheap apartments to De luxe Hotels. A high number of bars/restaurants reflect a lively nightlife.
Getting up to the skiing is by a cable car from the centre of Arinsal which tends to get very busy at peak times at top and bottom, for those staying at the top end of the village there is the advantage of a two man chair right up to the base station and snow conditions permiting a choice of a blue or black run right back down to the Hotel Crest and Patagonia Apartments which never seems to get busy.So the skiing, well arinsal's stretches right up the mountain with a series of easy blues and reds coming back down to the cota area,so no chance of getting lost, ideal ...
