We didn't stay in the hotel but grabbed lunch in the restaurant. There is a lot of spacious outdoor seating and it's a lovely clean setting. There are lots of options on the menu with a vegetarian burger. A great place to eat.

Great restaurant

We didn’t stay in the hotel but drank and ate here a number of times during our visit to Sallent.
The staff were excellent, as is the music and they have a good selection of bar food including Tapas.
The courtyard is a lovely place to sit and drink, eat, chill and listen to the music.

Great Courtyard Terrace and Bar

Upon arrival, we were a bit skeptical of what we were getting into.  The entry patio looked a little run down and the reception was dark and empty.  Oh boy.  We rang the bell and within minutes a lovely couple appeared to welcome us!  In half English, half Spanish, we were told to bring our motorbike into the patio area (too many trucks and cars on the road).  We paid cash for our room (no credit card??) and were shown to an AMAZING attic apartment.

To be fair, I am not sure if we had reserved the apartment (I think I just reserved a double??), but the owners were so proud to show us to our room and watch our reaction as we opened the door.  A huge attic apartment, small balcony, sleeping area, two couches, tv, kitchen (which had enough types of pots/pans for us to make delightful pasta dinner with vegetables), washing machine (very unexpected and very helpful!), microwave, electric orange juicer, toaster, refrigerator, nice sized bathroom with heated towel racks (handy for drying our laundry).  

No wifi in the apartment -- had to go to the main hotel area.

Sallent is a small mountain town with scenery.  We found a small (not very well stocked, but found enough for a great dinner) grocery store and enjoyed walking around.  I am sure it is much more lively during ski season.

Wonderful apartment

Arrived in Sallent de Gallego while walking in the Pyrenees in late Sept 2012.  Had no information on any hotels in the town but this one looked the most open (it was very low season) so we went in.  It was a great surprise.  Mariano (the owner, I think) was most helpful.  The rooms smallish but clean, old features throughout, comfortable atmospheric lounge, good wifi, the breakfast was good quality and plentiful.

All in all the hotel set the tone for my visit to the town which is a real find.  Enjoyed it so much that I am arranging to return to ski Formigal and stay in the Balaitus this winter!  Deserves more stars than it has.

Got lucky

We needed a fairly basic place for a one night stopover and, whilst it's been many years since I last stayed at a one-star place, I thought 'why not?'. From the ease of check-in, local knowledge, clean rooms and general welcome, it merited more than the one star would indicate and was streets ahead of hotels that have cost significantly more.

One star puts many other higher-rated to shame

Great place if you're looking to ski at nearby Formigal. There are no ski-in, ski-out hotels at Formigal (all the base-area hotels are 1km across the valley, requiring a shuttle), so we stayed at the nearby village of Sallent de Gallego, about 5km away. The village is quaint and has some decent restaurants (including one along the river - best foie gras ever!) and a few bars (though apres ski is better at Formigal - better to party there, then roll back to Sallent for dinner, sleep). Hotel is an old home, in need of some remodeling, but therein lies the charm. Rustic fireplaces, hearty breakfast with great, fresh croissants. Rooms were cozy (ie - read small), but if you're skiing all day, drinking all night, who needs a 5-star anyway? This place is fine and offers a good, fair price - enjoy!
