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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?

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.

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
Ubicación excelente, personal de recepción atento y agradable, personal en áreas de consumo como restaurantes, bares y servicio Level pésimo, consistente mal servicio, calidad de los alimentos mediocre a mala y presentación de los alimentos pecios. En un momento no había huevos durante el desayuno.
Esta super bien ubicado, me encanto todas las facilidades que tiene el hotel incluyendo los espectaculos de las noches en el Qlounge. Deme mejorar la calidad de las toallas en la habitacion. Estaban muy usadas.

Fint hotel som ligger perfekt och centralt. Lite slitet men riktigt bra personal, frukost och service. Fint spa.
Veldig bra, alt er supert med god service osv. En liten sak, sengen var hard og det var ikke dyne, kun teppe.

Vi upplevde hotellet ok, men hela hotellet var galet varmt och då man går i skidkläder så blev det ännu varmare.Hade kanske väntat mig en högre standard.
Långsam incheckning men trevlig personal. Vet inte varför det tog sådan tid

Positives: clean, fantastic shower, the spa and sauna was nice after a long day skiing, if you book a room at The Level, then you get good service and facilites. The Level Lounge offers free drinks and snacks all day and a nice quiet breakfast facility. The Level room was very nice. Staff went the extra mile to make sure that you're needs were met.
Negatives: when we arrived we had not booked a room on The Level, we'd paid £692 for 2 nights, half board. For that we were offered a nice room but it was a small double with dated fixtures and fittings. There was no milk for tea in the room and when I came to ask for it at reception the receptionist was not interested in helping me at all, she just said oh well you'll need to call room service and ask for it, then when I asked for a bottle opener she said, go to the bar. The spa was not included in the price so would have cost £35 per person, per usage, which would be a pre booked 1.5 hr time slot. We decided to pay an extra £298 to upgrade the The Level, which includes the spa access and free drinks and snacks all day at the lounge, including alcohol. The second we upgraded the service changed from treating us as a minor inconvenience to 5 star vip service. Most of the staff were friendly and genuine but the woman who went from cold and rude to fawning and all smiles let the whole team down. The beds we like camp beds on wheels and kept rolling away from the wall as I sat up. Ice was £3.20 extra. Not good value for money.

Mixed review
Public areas of gotel were very modern and smart, in keeping with what you would expect from Melia brand. However, bedroom was tired looking and certainly no more than 3 star.
Breakfast was excellent.
Be warned, this hotel sells itself on the spa facilities, and pictures of spa feature heavily.
Very disappointed to discover you could not use any of the facilities, even the pool, without a €30 charge per person.
Thos should be clearer in descriptions.
Ett dygn med skidåkning och mys där hotellet var en perfekt bas för vår utflykt.
Vi checka in kl 10 hade två fantastiska skiddagar där hotellet gjorde allt för att underlätta för vår vistelse.
Andra gången vi besöker detta hotell och mycket nöjda. Nära till allt då det ligger vid torget. Har vallet service vilket vi utnyttjade denna gång. Inget eget garage utan använder det publika som är väldigt trångt så skönt att de tog hand om detta. Hade halvpension och både frukost och middag bestod att av stora varierande och fina bufféer. Mysfaktorn i restaurangen är dock inte så stor och ljudnivån är väldigt hög men maten av mycket hög kvalitet. Skidförvaring i källaren med eget skåp till varje rum och direktutgång till torget. Stora rum som dock börjar bli lite slitna. Alla personal är väldigt serviceinriktade och uppmärksamma. Det enda vi inte tyckte fungerade så bra var wifi som var ganska segt.

Bien ubicado aunque le falta remodelación en algunas habitaciones.
La calefacción al ser centralizada es muy molesta por no poder controlar la temperatura
Hotellet ligger bra till och är fräscht men inget extra ordinarie.
Spa avdelningen är inte prisvärd. Kostar 35 euro per person och Det är för låg temperatur i vattnet.
Frukosten är mkt bra.
