Hotel Valmar

Glaner Hotel Café is a two-star hotel at Avinguda Meritxell 97 in the centre of Andorra la Vella, about 50 metres from the Illa Carlemany shopping centre. Its address puts shops and services close at hand, with Escaldes-Engordany and Caldea also within a walk or short ride. All 33 rooms are interior-facing, a useful detail for travellers comparing it with properties that have valley views. This is a compact urban hotel built around convenience rather than resort-scale facilities.

The room range includes single, double, economy double, king-size and twin options. Rooms have private showers, Wi-Fi, a safe, desk, heating and toiletries; some categories also include television, cleaning service, towels and bed linen. Cots can be requested, subject to availability and conditions. Compare the exact category and bed arrangement in your chosen offer. All rooms are interior-facing, so do not assume the same view, daylight or floor area as a street-facing or valley-view room elsewhere in town.

The hotel’s cafeteria is a central part of the offer. Breakfast is prepared every morning and starts at €6, though a precise service window is not published. The cafeteria also serves aperitifs and local recipes, and a terrace is available. Ask about the breakfast period, menu, current price and terrace availability for your dates. Since the exact cafeteria schedule is not posted, do not assume that a nearby food venue’s hours apply to the hotel.

Reception hours need particular attention. The hotel receives arriving guests from 15:00 to 21:00; late arrivals may require separate instructions. Use 15:00–21:00 as the safe arrival window and contact the hotel in advance if you will arrive outside it. Confirm how to collect keys, whether late arrival is possible and what number to call if transport is delayed.

Check-in is from 15:00 and checkout is by 11:00; verify the times against your booking confirmation. Luggage storage is available, and ski equipment can be kept at reception. Staff can provide information about tickets to local attractions during reception hours. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and the hotel has a multifunction room for meetings or events.

Pets are not accepted. The hotel has adapted access, although travellers needing a step-free route or accessible bathroom should request details about the exact room, entrance and internal layout before booking. Other practical services include a bar-café and baggage storage. There is no spa or fitness centre; Caldea and other paid wellness facilities are independent businesses nearby.

The central address is helpful for an itinerary built around shopping, meals and urban sights. Illa Carlemany is only about 50 metres away, and Avinguda Meritxell forms one of the main retail corridors. The old town, Plaça del Poble and Andorra la Vella’s cultural sites can be reached on foot, while the adjacent Escaldes commercial area offers further shops and restaurants. If you plan to visit Caldea, check its admission calendar and timed-entry options separately; the hotel’s location does not imply spa access is included.

Guests arriving by car should clarify parking before travel. The address is on a pedestrian street, so ask where to unload luggage, which nearby garage is appropriate and whether any parking arrangement is available. If travelling by bus, check the route to the hotel and the pedestrian approach with luggage, particularly in winter or for anyone with reduced mobility.

The hotel is currently presented as Glaner Hotel Café, although Hotel Valmar may still appear in directions to Avinguda Meritxell 97. Confirm the business name on your booking voucher and look for the Glaner sign at the entrance. This is particularly useful when arranging a taxi, as several hotels are located along Meritxell Avenue.

Before reserving, check the room type, breakfast charge and schedule, reception arrival window, late-arrival instructions, luggage storage, pet policy and parking plan. For travellers who want a modest room close to shopping and city services, Glaner Hotel Café provides a direct central base. Its smaller scale and limited published reception hours make advance communication more important than at a large 24-hour hotel, particularly when arriving late or with a special accessibility requirement.

The address lies on a pedestrian section of Meritxell Avenue, so a taxi may not be able to stop at the door. Ask where to unload bags and which nearby garage works best before travelling by car. If you arrive by bus, check the walking route from the stop and allow extra time for luggage. The hotel’s central position is most convenient once you are on foot: Illa Carlemany, shops and cafés are close, and the neighbouring streets link directly with Escaldes’ commercial district. A room facing inward may also feel more sheltered from street activity, though room assignment depends on availability.

For short visits, the central location allows you to return to your room between shopping, meals and city walks rather than planning a long trip back. Ask for directions to the nearest crossing or covered shopping entrance if the weather is poor or you are travelling with children.
