"We booked this hotel because it had good reviews and was a good offer price through Trip.com in the off season ( March ) . The hotel is in an excellent location of the Marina and very close to the train station for access into Barcelona. The Hotel is very nice, clean and staffed really well. We were a little disappointed to find that there were additional charges ( 14E per night) for underground parking for 3 nights
and the spa facilities were including access to the indoor pool were 12E per day each person. Both these additional costs were not clear when booking and added considerably to the overall cost.
The rooms are very well fitted , modern, light, airy and very clean with coffee maker and mini bar fridge. Excellent toilet and shower facilities and we had a sea view ( although it was over the small shipyard with some background electric tools noise during the morning and daytime but only noticeable when the balcony door was open.
The biggest issue we had was the hard surface noises from adjoining rooms which were loud and affected sleep. Because the floors and rooms have lots of hard surfaces and foot movement in shoes or placing of things on hard surfaces or items dropped or placed on hard surfaces and doors slamming shut resulted in the noise carrying through. Unfortunately we had people in the next room who weren't very considerate late at night and into the early hours.
We cant comment of the food in the hotel as we prefer to miss breakfasts and ate out in Mataro and Barcelona in the evenings but the food and restaurant looked very nice
I write this review to give people an informed choice and heads up.
Would we use the hotel again ? Probably YES , as we would be aware of the extra charges and would hopefully get a room with more considerate people in adjacent rooms.
We have given 5/5 for the hotel in most aspects but only 3/5 for facilities because we felt that access to the indoor pool and sauna etc should have been included in the price of the hotel as it made no difference to them at the off peak period. The indoor pool had hardly anyone using it and the underground garage had half a dozen vehicles parked in it as many people staying at the hotel arrived without cars."
