"Staff agréable, très bel emplacement à deux pas de la plage. À quelques minutes en voiture de l'aéroport. Le seul défaut, c'est que l'eau de la douche n'est pas très chaude. Sinon, le séjour était merveilleux. Je recommande cet hôtel."
"The room/location was perfect. This boutique hotel is directly on the beach/water, making it a prime location for swimming and Long Beach days. Walking distance to the small town of Calafell just about 5-10min away. Really nice restaurant in the lobby area as well. Very comfy bed and pillows! Similar to memory foam/temperpedic product which was a very nice surprise. Loved the large walk-in shower also!
Things to know:
- Taxi’s are very hard to find here. If you plan to use this as a home base, and travel in surrounding areas… I would highly recommend getting a car. TAXIs are way overpriced because they can be, and trains are hard to rely on and are never on time. Train station is only a 7min walk from the hotel which is nice though!
- no streaming/smart TVs available"
"It’s a great place. Great location. The balcony feels like being on the beach. The only downside was the paint is peeling off in the bathroom. But hopefully it’ll be fixed before the summer"
"What a gem - loved the central courtyard/pool area and just walking out front door onto shopping street in the old quarter. Rooms super comfy and clean. Very quiet.
Just note you cannot drive to the hotel. You must park in the nearby parking garage and get a discount voucher from the hotel to redeem. Then it's a short, flat, 3-minute walk to the hotel.
Really appreciated the staff contacting me after I left to advise I'd left my prescription sunglasses behind and offering alternatives to return them to me!"
"Short stay with my adult son. The hotel was excellent all round. Good sized rooms with a sea view. Helpful staff and really nice food. The shop was a bonus. The only slightly tricky aspect was parking. The spaces in the underground car park were too tight for our mid- size rental SUV and on the first night the outdoor spaces were taken. But this is a minor point as overall we had a peaceful and enjoyable stay."
