Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

Nice place, nothing to complain

My husband and I spent our wedding anniversary here. We chose it for the intriguing promise of history and luxury in the Pyrenees and we were not disappointed. We drove from San Sebastián and the weather was mist and rainy, very atmospheric. We had checked in online and our reception was smooth and efficient, and was made even better with a delicious glass of cava. Our room was extraordinary, luxurious and comfortable. The attention to detail is impeccable. We had a little trouble with the air conditioning but maintenance sorted it out efficiently within minutes. The bed was dreamy, the pillows and linen high quality. The bathroom and amenities were above and beyond what is normally offered. We had a lovely cocktail in The Library bar with a very charming and attentive bar man. Dinner at The International restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were delightful. We slept soundly on our cloud-like bed and awoke to a glorious sunny day. The view from our room was gorgeous. I opened the window and listened to the mountain silence and then the birds. It was heaven. Breakfast is outstandingly good. There is a cold buffet and you can choose a cooked breakfast from an extremely interesting menu. I had a delicious Aragon fried egg and Spanish chorizo and breadcrumb dish. Yum! There is a lot to see here from a historical perspective and it really added to the whole experience. It’s beautiful here, wherever you look. Thank you to everyone here for our extraordinary stay.

Amazing building in a beautiful picturesque setting. Professional staff who genuinely care and appreciate the customer. Sleep experience very comfortable, luxury bed sheets and towels. An excellent 5* hotel stay.

The front desk staff and house keeping were excellent. Met with a drink on arrival. Always an added bonus The experience was let down by the restaurant and bar staff who made us feel as if we were an imposition being there. No eye contact. Orders not taken correctly and missing food. The building and location are amazing

A gem of the hotel that feels like it’s just finding its feet… there’s some obvious things that need to be done, but I think it will get better and better.

The hotel has great aspects but also unfortunately strong blockers (lack of luminosity and the pool is not accessible by default even if you've paid your room 500€). Yet, I'd say that this is a solid 3-star hotel that should cost 300€.
