Hotel A Nieu: Good value

Hotel A Nieu: Good value, Jaca

 Belsaita Says:  "A nieu" means "the snow" in fabla, the local language. Other places we knew in town were full, so we stayed here by chance and... what a great finding! It's a very basic hotel, but centrally located, new, clean, comfortable beds, in suite bathroom... all for 48 € per nigh...

 dazzlz Says:  We’d spent a week in Spain. Zaragoza was a beautiful city, the Pyrenees were breath-taking, the hotels were lovely. Everything was as promised – everything except the food. Every bar we’d been to for tapas – sent willingly by the guide books – had a half-full bar, topped...
