塔拉戈納省Cal Baró附近住宿

The beautiful old buildings that make up the hotel are in the most picture perfect village of Altafulla and our expectations were v high for our little Spa Break. First Impressions : our suite was basic, lacking in any personality or chic soft furnishing touches. It felt very cold, clinical and like an unloved basic air b n b not a supposed 4 star historic hotel. The living area was also super dark, no real amenities in the bathroom besides nailed to the wall shower gel / shampoo. No luxe touches at all, no mini bar, coffee maker… nothing that I’ve come to expect from a European 4 star hotel. The lovely Italian male receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful tho he moved us almost immediately and continued to help us throughout our stay despite our issues so 5 stars for him. The housekeeping staff was also lovely and our waitress in the super fancy resto. Here are the list of issues that the hotel need to address: - Sinks are still shallow the water just splashes back at you. V much style over practicality - only 1 bathmat in a room for 2 people - grill in shower came off and moved around - no rug , no paintings/ photos/ no coffee machine or kettle / no mini bar - no room service - no tissues / cotton buds / body lotion / conditioner - safe was not working I had reserved spa slots and massages n advance but when we arrived the Spa is NOT a spa it’s a tiny facility with a v small jacuzzi type pool big enough for 4 people and another tiny plunge pool all in a very confined space which feels claustrophobic with more than 2 or 3 people in. The sauna is tiny as is the steam room which was not even working. Never mind we thought we will brave the cold and go for a lovely outdoor swim … another reason we choose this hotel as according to the website the pool would be open, it was not ! It was being dosed with chlorine and we were not allowed in. The spa had double booked our massages and in fact they could only accommodate one of us the following day and the therapist was one hour late as her car had broken down and when she did arrive made no apology, made my friend wait until she’d had a coffee and then administered a very poor massage with next to no pressure despite being asked several times to go harder. She didn’t ask any health questions about allergies or injuries …. Shockingly poor ! The dinner at the restaurant was v good if a little fancier that what we fancied but the pizza resto wasn’t open. The lighting in the restaurant v bright and lacking ambience as a result. The winery trip was interesting and the village is fabulous with a couple of great bars and restos and an amazing deli. It’s a shame about the hotel as it could be spectacular if the management spent some money on some tweaks that would make a world of difference to the guest experience. A good interior designer could help to warm up and personalise the gorgeous old buildings

I stayed here for two weeks for a university program. As I was there for a while it's easiest to do a bulleted list of pros/cons: Pros: * Location: Directly on Plaça de la Font, so if you're someone who wants to be right next to restaurants, bars, clubs and shops this is for you; also close to the Cathedral, the old town and the Roman ruins (amphitheater, circus, forum); a short walk from Platja del Miracle, a clean, lifeguarded beach where I was always able to find good space no matter the day or time. * I had a double room at the back of the property, whose window faced onto another flat but with a small terrace between us. Thus it was quiet and got direct sunlight most of the day. The room had an AC unit that cooled the room quickly, and also had decent shelf and hanger space given the room size (small, but that's typical of European hotel rooms, especially in old buildings). * The room was cleaned every day—towels changed every day, sheets changed every few days. Post-COVID I've come to expect the opposite—that hotel rooms will only be cleaned once a week or upon request—so that was a pleasant surprise. The cleaning staff were also very friendly and helpful. Cons: * Automated check-in—by far the biggest con. The hostel didn't send our trip coordinator, who wasn't in-country, the access code to the front door, though it was supposed to have been sent 24h before. So I arrived, the first in my group to get there, not realizing this would be needed. Eventually after waiting outside for some time another guest happened to be going inside, and let me in. The machine was wonky at first but eventually worked, at least for me; other guests checking in at the same time as the later arrivals in my group, however, had worse luck, and I'm not sure if they were ever able to reach a Forum rep to access their rooms. * No on-site staff, poorly-manned hostel phone line—we had a situation in our group later that week where a group member forgot their key in their room on their way to dinner, and ended up having to sleep in the small lobby area overnight as nobody from the Forum number provided was picking up the phone. The pin number the automated machine was requesting in order to issue a new key had never been sent to our group coordinator either, hence why the group member was never able to get a new key issued from the machine. * Other people in my university group had single rooms in the center of the property. Thus they did not ever have direct sunlight; their rooms either faced a wall or a disused lift shaft at the center of the property. This is just something for people to be aware of when they're making the bookings; the room photos on the site are not representative of most of the rooms of the property. * Accessibility: there is no lift/elevator, and it is a four-story property with steep flights of stairs between floors. If anyone in your party is disabled or otherwise has mobility or fitness issues, or if you simply have a lot of luggage,

酒店地理位置優越,靠近海灘,火車站和許多咖啡館/商店/餐館。一切都可以步行。工作人員都非常友好和樂於助人 - 即使我們說西班牙語非常有限。每天早上提供糕點和瓶裝水,大堂有茶水和咖啡設施。酒店空調真的很給力,我們一夜沒覺得太熱,房間很乾淨,呈現得很好!

Great hotel, we were really impressed. I was waiting much less for this price. So location is very nice (if you’re traveling from Barcelona then I recommend you to consider to travel on a bus as the bus station in Salou is just 3 mins walk from a hotel, very convenient) We loved the breakfast with a view and kind administrator who helped us to call a taxi. Cleanliness is nice! The only minus was there was no water when we arrived at 11pm: either in a room or a possibility to buy that. But other then that — really recommend you that place!

Designed/appointed much like the Disney version of an American lodge (in Colorado), the decor was a little cheesy, but the rooms and common areas were very clean, well maintained and spacious. Hot water, good water pressure, decent wifi, comfy beds, good AC... a good experience all around. Staff were generally helpful and friendly. Pool was clean and well maintained. Lifeguards had some kind of weird rule about not wearing sunglasses in the pool, but hey - your pool your rules. Food was decent. The park is a short 10-ish minute walk away, so very easily accessible. Entrance is included in the room rate. The park itself was packed with very long lines, so be prepared for that - but that's really a comment on the park, not the hotel, right? In short, a lovely experience at a fun little ”American” style hotel in the heart of Tarragona.

Todo perfecto, la estancia, la amabilidad del personal, la limpieza. Tanto la cena como el desayuno excelente, mucha variedad y muy bueno. Es la segunda vez que venimos y repetiremos en el futuro.

我們晚上晚些時候到達的一個晚上,雨真的在傾盆大雨,我們不喜歡冒險出去,所以在入住後呆在樓上的酒吧裏吃東西。食物還可以,因爲是週六晚上,有一些娛樂。不幸的是,我們半夜醒來,天花板滴水,謝天謝地,他們第二天早上能夠爲我們換房間。不理想,因爲它浪費了我們的一些早晨,但他們非常樂於助人迅速更換房間。我們換的房間在浴室裏有一種奇怪的氣味,這不是最令人愉快的氣味,每次女僕訪問後都還好,但確實回來了。我們被提出再次搬房間,但由於我們的訪問很短,我們不想浪費更多的時間。如果你想讓酒店作爲基地,這是乾淨和理想的位置,這是一個偉大的選擇,但是如果你想花很多時間在酒店可能不適合你!

When we arrived the reception staff were miserable and there were no welcoming smiles, in fact the whole checking in process felt like a massive inconvenience to them. I had booked an all-inclusive package with a tour operator which started on the 14th September with no start time specified. However, the hotel staff receptionist told us that the rooms would not be available until 3pm and that we couldn’t access ‘all inclusive’ until 12 noon. This was obviously surprising and something I have never encountered before, and we obviously questioned it. When we had shown the receptionist the booking voucher (with no mention of a hotel check-in/out time) we asked were we could get breakfast and we were pointed towards the restaurant. We walked into the restaurant 3 minutes before it closed – all the hot food had been cleared away but we explained that we had been told we could come in for coffee and food. We grabbed a piece of fruit, a bread roll and coffee and sat down outside while they cleared away around us. Five minutes later a manager stormed over to us demanding we pay for our breakfast. We explained that we had just arrived, and had not been told that we would be charged, the manager could see that we had very little on our plates but demanded we pay 13 Euros each. She insisted that the receptionist had told us that there was a 13 Euro charge for breakfast (she hadn’t) and basically accused us of lying and stealing food. We offered to pay for exactly what we had eaten (ie coffee and one bread roll and a plum) but she told us that if we didn’t pay 26 Euros she would not give us our two rooms (which we had already paid for). Myself and my friend are intelligent, hard-working, middle-aged ladies and we were on a much needed holiday. To be sat in a restaurant, feeling travel weary and being screamed at by an aggressive hotel manager and accused of lying was devastating and the bad feeling it created ran through our entire holiday and I’m sorry to say, ruined it for both of us. We had no choice other than to pay the 26 Euros, what’s worse is there was no consequence to the hotel whether we paid for our meagre breakfast or not, there was far more food thrown away than we had on our plates (the food was rarely labelled and mostly cold). The restaurant manager made a point of telling us that if we wrote about this on TripAdvisor she would write a response denying it happened and saying we were lying. So that’s twice in the first morning threatened and accused of lying. Not quite the welcome we were expecting by a four star hotel (or any hotel)...

Prachtige locatie. Kamers en suites wat gedateerd. Bubblebad in de suite was kapot. Restaurant is gemiddeld maar 2x zo duur als in de stad. Vriendelijk personeel. Tortosa is leuk voor een dag. Veel verpaupering en leegstand.
