  Good value accommodation

  15 Jun 2019

  For 35 euros including breakfast this is a real value for money hotel just up from the main road through Calella.Only criticism is that WiFi is not free with a minimum 4 euros per session Lovely swimming pool adds to it’s attraction

  Hotel of last resort

  15 Aug 2016

  We decided to break our long car trip with a one night stay in the area. This was the only hotel that had rooms. This should have been a warning.The resort town is nice, but a bit "Blackpool", and if you don't like that sort of thing there are better areas. Car parking on the Sunday in August was not a problem. There was absolutely no parking spaces in the town, or on the roads leading to the town ! We had to pay the 10€ charge - but this left us without a car to explore so the tourist train ( great value at 1€ each ) and walking were the remaining options.Basically when the car was parked, there was no access to it until we left the following day. The hotel lift did not go to the car park, and it was locked and the owners car was parked in the entrance - seems they could not find anywhere to park either .... and we did notice traffic wardens working until after 8pm. The car park is made up of many pillars and small parking spaces - each car parking bay had its own pillar. Difficult to maneuver, and the ramp was very steep to enter and exit.Check In was fine, had to pay the local taxes on top of the booking cost, and then breakfast, and car parking - so that was an extra 20€ - making the stay about 80€ for the night. We have stayed in 5* hotels in Barcelona for les.Lift very small, room for two and a small case. Hidden behind reception.Room was hot, no air con, and worried about the balconies we kept the windows shut, and suffered.No wifi - hotel apparently does not need it.No tea / coffee facilities - but the bar downstairs was fine and reasonable prices. No tv either - prob no room in room .....Bathroom again small, and needed a very good clean - hairs and used soap from previous guest(s) - towels reasonable but old. Told reception about state of bathroom but was just apologized, no room change or housekeeping offered. Beds had a plastic type mattress protector. Thought there would be a guest terrace on the top floor, but it was just a maze of laundry and staff rooms.Town is lovely, beach good, but crowded ( August so expected )Breakfast seemed ok, ( we saw it being delivered by the owners wife from Lidi shopping trip ) large selection of cold foods, and warm eggs and bacon. Was very busy from 8 till 9 - left table to get some more toast, cam back and it had been cleared. Saw staff taking possibly unused butter and jam and putting back into serving area, Ugg.Never got a receipt.When we wanted to leave in the morning , were given keys to garage to retrieve car. Service seemed to stop when money had been taken.Quite possibly the worst hotel experience we have had in a long time.

  Do Not Stay!!!!!

  13 Aug 2016

  On arrival check in was satisfactory, stayed on the 2nd floor facing with a pool view from the balcony. Rooms have no air con, bath very small, door difficult to shut, and the water was temperamental and leaking water from toilet. Unfortunately an incident happened on the 2nd night which makes me feel that this hotel is very very unsafe, I left the balcony door slightly open for some air and in the middle of the night in my deep sleep a burglary took place right inside my room and £200 in English pound was stolen. We was explained the next morning that they managed to enter the room by climbing on the pipes outside and pulling themselves from balcony to balcony. This happened to another 2 people and the police was called. Unfortunately there was no camera and these people were never caught. This hotel is unsafe and I do not recommend it. Even though it is very local to everything and it's a shame the stay at the hotel was ruined by this incident. I wouldn't recommend eating breakfast as the reviews do mention people falling ill from the food. My family stayed at the Hotel Bon Repos a minutes walk from this hotel and can recommend there.

  Terrible Hotel

  23 Jun 2016

  This is a terrible hotel. My child was part of a group of children on a school trip staying here. The room was dirty, smelly and cramped. The shower didn't work properly and one of the complementary soaps was already open. The food was awful and many of the children got sick on their return. The packed lunches provided consisted of stale bread and meats which ended up in the bin. The staff were rude and unfriendly. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
