塔拉戈納Forum Provincial Tarraco附近住宿

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,

Good first impressions - well put together hotel with great amenities and nice staff. First evening I ordered room service - It took over 1hour 15 minutes to arrive, and that's after I went to ask at the reception. Also the room door wouldn't shut properly - it was still open when it seemingly had clunked shut - but this was dealt with swiftly, thank you. First shower I had - oh dear - it has a head with one narrow spray (not like a regular/ normal round or rectangular one) that fires at you almost horizontally and in a narrow clump (irritating and impractical) - so even when you try and slow the pressure, it still goes to the back of the bath, over the bath end, and swamps the bathroom - firstly you simply cannot shower with such a dumb 'design student' reject style shower head, and secondly you'll spend several minutes after finishing having a shower, using up all the towels to mop the bathroom floor, and leave them in a giant wet mess, only to start smelling during the night - terrific (not) ! The last time I experienced a shower head that went only horizontal over the back of the bath, was a (very good, apart from this,) two star hotel in Morocco - but even that one had a regular round head (so you could actually wash properly/ normally under it), not a single tiny narrow head like at this hotel. The room I had was the cheapest, and apart from not having an opening window (I know this is kind of standard these days, so I'm not bothered), it was a well appointed comfortable room and even had a side view of the Med, which was great. People will always come to this hotel because of its awesome location, including a roof terrace ..commanding some of the best full vantage points in Tarragona (and many other reasons), but I hope the complacency of them knowing this, doesn't hold them back from considering customers' improvements / suggestions. I had pasta carbonara for dinner the 2nd night - a few tubes of pasta in a thin limp sauce, with some almost microscopic strands of ham (seemed like a microwave job) - no bread with it, no salad, very very unsatisfactory it was ..I was still hungry, so I ordered a small pizza, which was ok, but seemed like a basic supermarket one (it wasn't good), and it took a long time to arrive. The rooftop pool, they call a 'plunge pool', but this is underselling it - I did lots of lengths in it, it's maybe 4ft deep .. it's great. The lower pool is also nice and is much bigger and deeper. The day I left, the fire alarm went off at about 7am - A bit annoying. Some people started to leave the building and some probably didn't. This is overall a very good hotel, and I was really impressed. I liked the staff on reception, the breakfast staff and the rooftop bar/ restaurant staff - they were all very friendly and very efficient - This is especially nice when you're by yourself. Tarragona is great and swimming in the sea was wonderful too.

Minim Asst in style but not in provision. Breakfast is superb, and can be eaten in or out. Outdoor area is not extensive but the pool is big, and the surroundings give plenty of shade. Culture of guests means that sunbeds become quickly available. Bedroom vey comfortable, with good air conditioning, plenty of hot water. Beds invite sleep. Bar and restaurant staff outstanding. Reception staff need drawing out to help! Ten minutes ( smelly) walk into town, which can be hot, but much better than staying in the town itself. Only criticism was that if you have a late train/ flight there is zero provision ( eg shower) to change other than a toilet. We were told we couldn’t keep the room but a sneaky check showed that the room hadn’t been made up at the time we left two hours later! But that didn’t mar the whole experience.

一年後,我回來了大約十天,一年前我在評論中寫的一切都是真的。我非常喜歡塔拉戈納,但我的大部分感情都是因爲勞里亞。過去幾年來,我在酒店區住了兩次,公寓區住了四五次,仍然對位置、價值、住宿質量和大部分工作人員的結合感到驚訝:從管理到接待,到家政,再到“早餐主管”,這些人都做得很好,禮貌,專業。(我對兩位評論員感到困惑,他們覺得不一樣,並鼓勵TA讀者看看評論的模式,而不是比那些超羣的人。再次愛上它,仍然。

I had never stayed in a B&B hotel, but I chose it because of the great review & the location. You are in front of the covered market, on a square with many bars. However, it is very quiet at night and the other guests very respectful. A sweet attention is breakfast left on the door every day (little pastries). You can have coffee/tea/fruit juices downstairs. Big room with a huge shower, big windows & blackout curtain.

我們住的是普通套房。房間很大很寬敞,但很基本很無聊。房間裏有2張加牀(雙層牀),以防你帶孩子。位置很完美。它靠近市中心,酒店旁邊是一個汽車站。房間一進去就有一股“食物”的味道,打開窗戶味道也沒有散去,淋浴頭壞了,牀底下很多灰塵,電話不通,所以無法打電話給前台接待員空調吹下來沒用,我們打電話告知這個問題,他們告知是會來看什麼問題,他們沒來,我們睡得真的很差,結賬的時候又告訴他們了他們唯一說的是他們很抱歉。對於一晚的價格,我期望更多。我們很高興我們只住了一晚。我不會向任何人推薦這家酒店。

The rooms are tiny. Paper thin walls. No bathroom door. Just a swinging glass door. Anything that happens in the bathroom is heard throughout the room. No in room coffee. If you are used to AC Marriott levels of service you will be disappointed here. We booked a family room for our family of three. We requested a higher level floor corner with a view. We received confirmation that the hotel would do everything they could to accommodate our request. The room they gave us was interior with a view of a brick wall and it was so small the three of us could barely stand at the same time, and no place to sit just on the bed. When I asked about them accommodating our request they told me that the people that respond to specific requests have no idea what types of rooms are available in the hotel. The reception staff was friendly yet very novice and did not understand the concept of taking care of the guest. I requested ice to take to our room and 15 minutes later, while waiting in the lobby, I received a little bucket with eight cubes of ice and was told the charge would be one euro for the ice. There was no manager on duty. Reception staff told me that this Hotel is for individual business travelers, not families. This is true. We had to purchase an additional room at full price to accommodate our son. The family room is not large enough to accommodate three people comfortably. We will not be staying here again and will be very hesitant about booking accommodations with AC Marriott again…

我們家人走在波特冒險附近(12分鐘車程)以這種方式,三間房很寬,而且可以去那,只是睡覺。牆非常老,的,髒(但不是因爲清的色)是因爲的,老的,雖然的都很好。大樓上的子(在牆上)冰箱破碎,小,但保存東西卻有用(我們換了另一件東西 ) 不舒服的牀,的子,聽見了一切。外部微波來加熱,但它並非完全正常(儘管他們已經確認了,並且說如果是)但我們也同意了一些客戶的意見,我建議他們改變。內爾的服務員非常好,非常細,所以我要兩星,而阿里的主人也很好,服務員也很好,這所房子最壞的就是接待所的所有人之一,不快,不禮,邊緣。他不顧客(或他的員工),他會掉星星,但我會留着星星,去的地方,不回去,只是作爲你去公園睡的經驗。

While this hotel has a good rate and some ok aspects to it (relatively clean room, convenient parking garage across the street), there are many issues with it otherwise. The receptionist wasn’t very friendly or helpful at the start… that didn’t bode well. I had to do a couple hours of work as soon as I got to my room and quickly realized that the WiFi signal didn’t reach my room - bear in mind I was only on the second floor of about six floors! So I couldn’t use the internet which, obviously, is pretty important for most work these days. I even tried to do some work with my computer just outside my room but the signal was poor even in the halls ways. And to make matters worse, the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this is a non-smoking hotel! So I decide to do my work in the lobby. I end up having dinner there and order a pasta dish. No joke, the top half of the pasta was warm and the bottom part was cold. Did they just throw it into a microwave? It was pretty disappointing. In terms of the room itself, it was spacious and the bed was comfortable enough but when I went to take a shower, not only would the water not drain properly - creating an ever-growing pool of water on the shower floor - but the temperature was all wonky. It went from slightly warm to searing hot… again, not ideal. I’m a pretty easy-going traveler and for this price, I shouldn’t really complain BUT this city did seem to have plenty of options in the price range so maybe it’s best to try another spot unless you have a good reason to want to stay in this particular location.
