Excellent location! Steps from the lifts⛷️ Beautiful hotel w very good dining options! I especially enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The staff were all amazing as well, especially Lydia (my Pilates instructor at Melia SolyNieve) I can’t wait to come back next year :) Thanks Melia
We stayed in the upper tier called the "Level". The ease of having a refreshment and snacks (very nice tapas) plus the open access to the spa on return from the slopes makes this hotel very special. I will always try to stay at this hotel "If it is available". Book in advance.
Good hotel and facilities…clean.
Couldn’t control heater though…

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay. Lady on reception who checked me in and out was really nice, as was the guy who helped me in the Ski Room. The hotel is really nice, especially the spa. The lady who helped me in the spa was also super accommodating as I didn’t realize I had to pre-book a slot. I stayed in room 3111, I paid for an upgrade and ‘The Level’ package. My room was pretty nice, there were a few small things that would have made my stay better. There was a lightbulb flickering in the lounge. The room had twin beds, but one of the beds was lower and also shorter and length than the other. Which wouldn’t be ideal if you were traveling as a couple. The TV in the bedroom should be put on a bracket so you can angle it towards the bed. Also the suite had a kitchenette, but there was no cutlery in the cupboards. With these small fixes my stay would have been perfect. The breakfast was great too, as were all the staff I encountered in the breakfast room. Will stay again for sure!
I didn’t get the room we booked so we had to bed the sofa and it was dirty. Not a nice experience. Not worth 810€ and the spa is not included it cost 30€. We did love the saxophone entertainment but the qlounge staff is stressed and rude and it’s leaking water from the roof.

Overpriced for what it is
The hotel was fairly nice, clean, well presented, polite staff.
The negatives for us was,
(1). Breakfast was included in our stay. Buffet style. Although it looked it wasn’t. The hot food wasn’t hot, luke warm at best.
The quality of the food in my opinion was poor for a high standard hotel. There was tiny insects in the pineapple and melon, only a few, but you could see them. Not good at all. In fact after the first two mornings, we ate outside the hotel.
(2). There is a nice spa/pool area in the hotel. The cost to use it is €30 per person for 90-minutes, then you are required to leave. For what it is, it’s extortion. Maybe worth €8 per person.
The hot tubs are far from hot, Luke warm at best.
To be honest, the hotel was fine, but not for the money charged.

Ok, but a bit old and needs renovation. The design is glass and chrome 80 s style. But ok (to expensive so low value for money).
The check in lady, could do with a little advice regarding smiling & attitude, Our check out lady "Carmen" was fantastic, friendly helpful everything we would expect, rather than the lady who checked us in.
Hotel was OK, but a little further from the ski lifts than I had hoped. Was very disappointed to find the the hotel charged me 4 euros for a Coke that I never had from the mini bar.
Meila Sol Y Nieve is a very nice hotel close to all the shops, bars and restaurants. It is very close to the lifts for the snow sports with a convenient locker room for the skis/boards etc. We had issues with the plastic/electronic door keys that constantly deactivated requiring us to to to reception every day and on one day every-time we left the room. Ask for valet parking as the underground parking lot is one of the most difficult parks I have every driven a car. But overall a fabulous hotel.

Not woth the money..
A nice hotel with nice location, but at this price you expect a real restaurant with real food ! This restaurant was busier, more noicy and chaotic than a McDonalds.. The restaurant staff did a brilliant job, but where there are not enough seats and not enough food; whant can they do ?

Disappointed
Room Average, bathroom horrible. Spa not included (but is with sister hotel across the road). Would have been OK for half the price.
I Think that just to pricing of the room pr. Night is not worth the Price. If You wanna go to the spa.... extra money again... then You have to buy special shoes and cap to go to the spa.... extra pricing....
The place is getting old. Needs renovation....

The noise is a nightmare. The room walls are paper thin. The family in the room next to us was crazy loud, but the front desk wouldn’t move us to a quiet room. Said that the only room they could move us to would have “family” rooms on both sides and probably be just as loud. Paying $400 a night to not even be able to sleep is insane. Definitely not recommended.

Room was in poor condition with loose floor tiles in the en suite and a window which would not close properly forcing us to endure the loud street noise until the early hours of the morning. It's a shame that such an expensive hotel does not offer complimentary use of the the spa facilities without upgrading the room.
Hotel was unnecessary wastefull with its energy policy. Had to turn all heatings off and sleep with windows wide open so it was too noisy outsides till pass 2:00 am. Even then it was too hot. Feels like fainting in hallway and lifts. Madness use of energy. It was very uncomfortable walking around the hotel. Outside was snow!!

What are the hotel room walls built from?
Great location, excellent breakfast buffet (make sure to be there at 8 when they open, a looong line at 8.30), nice bar. The spa was not worth the money, in my opinion. At this price level, surprised it was not included in the price. However, by far the worst experience in this hotel was the horrible sound proofing of the walls (we stayed on the first floor). We could hear a lot of noise from the floor below as well as every word spoken in the hotel room next door. Impossible to fall asleep until all other guests had gone to bed. Will not stay there again, which is too bad given all the other positives of this hotel
An absolute waste of energy. Slept with window open all night and all heating turned off. Snow gun blowing at 2:00 am for several hours. It was so noisy so we closed the window, but the heat in the kids bunk bed was unbearable although our room heating was off. The lift in the centre of the hotel was so hot that the kids were out of breath and unbearable. Called reception for room service, but was told to come down to reception to order as they do not take order on phone!!!
Den bästa hotellfrukosten jag upplevt. Hjälpsam personal. Dock ingick inte spa och var ganska dyrt. Men läget och bekvämligheten med egen skiduthyrning i samma byggnad vägde upp :)
