Hotel Coray by Pierre & Vacances

Andorra is a great ski location, with Grand Vilara the largest / main area.
We traveled from Amsterdam Schiphol airport to Barcelona Spain in just one hour 40 minutes.

Andorra has a very good line bus connection from Barcelona Airport, the bus stop is 50 meters to the right just outside terminal B. This ANDBus bus drives non stop from Barcelona Airport to the bus interconnection stop in Andorra in 3 hours. From the Andorra interconnection hub it's a short bus to any hotel in Andorra. 36 € for 3 persons.

Evenia Coray hotel in Encamp.
This hotel has a great view over the Andorra Valley and is located at walking distance from the Encamp Funicamp main cable cabin.
The rooms are not too big but practical. We traveled with our kid and were offered a free upgrade with double bedroom.
The hotel crew is nice and friendly as all people seem to be in Andorra. English is not a second language in Andorra. Catelan, Spanish and French.
Wifi is unstable but… who needs wifi on a ski holiday?
Breakfast and diner are ok, with a selection of vegan, a saladebar, vis and meat.
Drinks are cheap 5 € for a bottle of wine, 2/3 € for a beer.
Free ski locker (10 € deposit) and underground garage to park your car.

Encamp
is a nice old mountain village with beautiful ancient small streets that run through the village. There are plenty of well equipped ski shops, supermarkets, local cuisine restaurants. Encamp has a free ski bus, the Funibus, connecting all hotels in Encamp to the Funicamp cable station.

Funicamp
This cable station brings you up the mountains at the maximal height of 2700 meters above sea level in a large 28 person cabin in about 17 minutes.
The ski area is large with over 300 km of pistes.
Most pistes are wide and have a open view, unlike pistes in Austria.
Most pistes have button lifts and chair lifts.
It’s not too busy at the lifts. Most lifts have near zero wait time. Sometimes 15 minutes for the lower lifts. About 500 professional international ski teachers are working for Grand Vilara ski resort. Grand Vilara also has the longest green beginners slobe with 8KM lenght.

Andorra de Vella.
L2 and L4 bus connects the smaller villages to the main capital. From Encamp this is about 20 min. The 'capital' of Andorra with about 25000 residents is a village size city. A tax free shoppers paradise. Perhaps being Dutch where we have another kind of shopping street 'formula'. The order of shops in the main shopping street goes a bit like this: Cheap clothingshop, pharmacy, cosmetic / perfume store, Watch store (Rolex, Patek, Tag Heuer, Bell Ross), jewelery, big shopping mall, it / tech store Apple etc, a flagship store and continue this order for about 1.6km.
Lamborghini, MCIntosh high end.

Ski gear has 4,5% tax or 16% discount compared to Holland.
Grand stores, Patek Philippe, Rolex, rings, diamonds and dozens of ski and snowboard shops. All packed in 1 long shopping street and some crossings. Tobacco and alcohol are cheap, 2 € for a pack of cigarettes, 6 € for Jalisco Tequilla (Dutch retail price is 28 €) petrol is 1.13 € per liter.

The shopping mall ILLA
hosts a row of flagship stores such as Oakley, North Face, Swarovski, Buffs, Salomon, O Bag, Boss, Hagloffs. Top floor a nice candy store with a nursing theme. The supermarket in the mall has a great collection of local goods.

Mont Magic Fun Park Canillo.
Family / beginners and fun park Magic.
Easy to reach with bus line L4.
Take the cable cabin from the center of Canillo. A beatiful sunside beginners slobe with a zipline (17 €) and Wiegand All Year Slide Bobsled 3 rides for 15 € pp) great for a day off. The moutain view is great and they ski schools are international oriented. With a chairlift you are connected to Grand Vilara. They have a mascot called Puk. The familiy restaurant can be busy between 1200 and 2400. Using your Grand Vilara skipas there are a few automatic photo moments, the zipline and the bobsled, show your skipass to the machine then later collect your 5 € photo souvenir between the zipline and bobsled magic slide.
Small minus, the L4 bus does not stop at the cabin lift, the bus that connects the valley L2 and L4 are not included in the Grand Vilara ski pass.

Bastante OK

We would like to express our delight and gratitude to the hotel cooks! Breakfasts and dinners are on top, every day they offered something new. Both a vegetarian, a meat-eater and a fish lover can choose something tasty. Moreover, there are some options of dishes in each of these categories. Of course, walking distance to the Funicamp is also a significant advantage of this hotel. Highly recommended!

Vistas y situacion al lado mismo del funicam,agradable el trato y desayuno muy completo

A week’s stay as part of a Ramblers walking holiday. They’ve been using this hotel for years and I can see why. Quite plain but spacious room with good view over the town and mountains from the balcony. Buffet food at breakfast and dinner, pretty good range of options and much of it tasty and interesting, chef knows his stuff. Cheerful helpful and friendly staff.

Hôtel facile à trouver, difficulté pour se garer car le parking était plein tout comme les parkings de la ville d'ENCAMP
l'accueil à la réception à notre arrivée : très sympathique et professionnel par un Français.
Nous avons passé une nuit au calme
Tout le personnel était charmant et poli.
Le petit déjeuner était excellent

Comfortable room with balcony (a big bonus here), wide range of decent food at buffet breakfast and dinner. Excellent staff. Prices reasonable for drinks and free wifi. Short (uphill) walk to Funicamp cable car. Would stay again.

Nice hotel at at very good price (early July). Rooms were quite warm and no AC, but apart from that everything was fine.

This hotel is situated in the pretty Andorran town of Encamp. We stayed for a total of 4 nights (half board) The rooms are a little dated with the bathrooms needing updating urgently. The staff were very professional and impressive. My wife is a vegetarian and the hotel had been notified prior to our arrival and the head chef made a personal appearance to meet my wife and to show her all the vegetarian options - this he did on each of the 4 evenings we ate there. The rest of the staff were equally attentive. Once the rooms are updated this will be a much sought after hotel and location.

Stayed here for a week as part of a Ramblers holiday. Hotel was conveniently situated, pleasant and clean and the staff particularly cheerful and helpful especially in the Restaurant and Housekeeping. Bedroom with balcony and ensuite - beds comfortable and a bath as well as shower. TV small and high but we didn't want to watch it. Breakfast, packed lunches and dinner all of good quality with lots of choice and a good range of fresh salads and fruit.

We spent a week. Service was really helpfull and nice. Everything very clean. Food very tasty. Bus stop almost in front of the entrance. Lifts close 250 m but up a steep hill. They are one bus stop away and we preferred to take a bus. Good to keep your skis in a locker at the lift station (9 eur per night for two pairs or 14 eur up to 5 pairs). Bus stop to Andora La Vella also close at the nearest roundabout above the hotel. Not five stars only because of old stile. Although in a very good condition.

Hotell Evenia Coray har supertrevlig personal!

Hotellet skyltar med fyra stjärnor vilket definitivt inte är i paritet med hotellets standard och i synnerhet rummen. Enkla saker som ett uttag vid respektive sängbord saknas, kostnad för att använda safetybox, avsaknad av mini kyl.

Rummen är spartanska och ganska slitna. Vidare är det är extremt lyhört, du hör minsta ljud från grannar och ibland är det svårt att avgöra om det knackar på din dörr eller om knackar på grannens.

Buffen/maten är spartansk och variationen begränsad. Hotellet är inte ett 4-stjärnigt utan bör betraktas som ett 2-3 stjärnigt hotell som högst.

Personalen är som sagt väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam men det gör inte hotellet till ett 4 stjärnigt i min mening.

Hotel Evenia Coray ligger i Emcamp ca. 8-10 gang fra funicamp liften, hvilket måske på en god dag kan løfte hotellet til den 4 stjerne. Venligt personale, slidt hotel, ikke meget at se på i omegnen hvis man ikke har en bil.

Hotel is really old and cheap looking. Rooms are small. Staff is not pleasant, reception guy Gaby was very rude with us. They served breakfast and diner but they will charge you even for water. Try to find other hotel in Andorra.

Hotel totalmente trasnochado, habitaciones muy mal aisladas escuchando voces y risas hasta altas horas de la madrugada, calefacción ruidosa como un camión de recogida de basuras, colchas de los años 70 y personal nada pro activo y poco reactivo a las solicitudes de los clientes para cambiar a una habitación que tuviera 2 camas individuales y cambiar una plaza de garaje en la que no cabía el coche, teniendo plazas libres mucho más grandes. Un auténtico FIASCO.

Good Stay for the location plus garage for the car. Breakfast really good. Minus point was the lack of heating in the room due to a malfunctioning.

Bien situado y personal muy amable . Las instalaciones son correctas , el
Desayuno completo y muy bueno

Good place to stay with family if you want to go ski. It’s located near the funicamp. The staff are friendly and polite. The food consists of meat and fish dishes, salads, pasta and deserts. Drinks free only in the morning. The rooms are comfortable clean and quite basic.

we came here to get away from the heat wave. we enjoyed looking at the mountains from our room. we stayed to rest up before a long drive to the Costa Brava

El hotel y el sevicio exquisito, le recomendaria ir renovando poco a poco las habitaciones, yo estuve en una de 4 camas
