“Short of 4 star but very keenly priced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel was a little short of what I would expect from a 4* hotel in terms of comfort. The wifi is very erratic, the rooms a little on the spartan side. there was mould on my shower screen. the movies on the payperview were all quite old.

On the plus side, the service was generally good and the price both for the accomodation and the food was very good. E8 for breakfast and E17 for a very nice three course dinner.

“Comfortable hotel and friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We stayed here for 3 nights during an organised tour. Had a very comfortable stay; despite our room fronting the main traffic island in the city, the glazing was such that we did not have our sleep interrupted by traffic noise at all. Handy little supermarket over the other side of the island. Free internet in reception. Excellent bar and cafe with delicious pastries. Good and varied breakfast buffet. We dined in the hotel for one night; fixed-price three-course seasonal menu available at E13 including a bottle of wine and mineral water between two - need we say more?

“Lovely staff and very comfortable well placed hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

Within walking distance of the main sites of Tarragona and next to the Bus Station allowing inexpensive exploration of the area. Nice cafe on ground floor with free internet access via wifi.

Would definitely recommend this hotel

“'Great hotel, would go back'”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

Centrally located, quiet, excellent reception staff - son lost his ipod - but was found and kept for us by reception staff. Very clean - even the underground garage - two cleaners were busy moping and cleaning it when we drove in! There was no quadruple rooms so got upgrade to suite - lovely - though sofabeds were not great. Breakfast - good.. Yes the pool on the roof is small, but sofas provided and a lovely atmosphere after a hard days holiday. Would definitely use this hotel again.

“We really liked this hotel and the front desk service was exemplary”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for four nights and rated it highly.

Of particular note was the exceptional help given by two of the front desk staff Rafa and Elizabet, who nothing was too much trouble for throughout our stay and who were a credit to the hotel.

We stayed in one the suites (room 505) and found the room to be spacious and of high quality.

On the top floor there is a nice sundeck, a jacuzzi, a pool and a gym (the pool and gym being extremely small but nevertheless this is a town centre and not a resort hotel and given that we visited PortAventura on three days, this wasn't an issue for us)

We enjoyed Tarragona and if you're visiting Portaventura but not staying in Hotel Portaventura (which we have done previously and really enjoyed but it was fully booked for the dates we wanted), we found it to be a much nicer place to stay than neighobouring towns such as Salou and this hotel worked for us, with us visiting the theme park via the Renfe train line.

We didn't eat at the hotel but ate breakfast at a Fleka restaurant only 200 metres from the hotel, which was fine. We had found some with some lovely tapas bars and restaurants and a nice ramblas to stroll along. We loved having tapas at Txantxangorri in the Placa de la Font square, which really is a beautiful place to spend an evening and also La Cuineta.

The hotel is also only 15 minutes away from Reus airport in a taxi (20-25 euros) or a 3 euro bus journey, which drops off literally 20 metres from the hotel.

Regarding PortAventura, it is still one of the best theme parks in Europe although if you don't purchase an express pass to avoid the queues, make sure you go early (be one of the first to be admitted at 10am) or alternatively be there 7-30 until midnight, to make sure you miss the worst of the queues, which are horrendous for the all the big rides for most of the day.
