I loved this hotel!…read more The room had literally everything I needed (even one of those magnifying mirrors that are so good for contact lens wearers). It was clean and comfy and looked brand new. The interior of the hotel itself is also very good and stylish. Breakfast was delish! Very good coffee, too! The Spa area is very quiet and chilled, you can hang out there with a book undisturbed between your swimming and your jacuzzi. The beach is great, soft sand and clean water! The location is also good with some nice restaurants and beach bars and a little market just within walking distance.

I struggled with settling on a number for this review…read more Hotel Carlemany has a lot going for it - great location, impressive modern facade, large spacious and comfortable rooms with good air conditioning and Wi-Fi. However, for a 4* hotel, it fell a little short of my expectations. The front door of the bright impressive modern facade (5) led to a somewhat disappointing dark and rather dated looking interior (3). There was no pomp or ceremony about our arrival. The usual welcome chat and map of the city etc. were conspicuous by their absence (3 again), although perhaps this is more of a business hotel (maybe a 4). The room was spacious and overlooked the pretty square to the front. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi were excellent. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was big and clean (maybe a 4). The staff at reception were very helpful with any requests (yes definitely a good 4). Breakfast was the deciding factor. The breakfast room was prepared with care. Tables dressed in clean white linens and polished silverware. There was a reasonable selection of juices, breads, pastries, cold meats, cereals and yoghurts. However, the "hot" food offerings really let the breakfast down. There was a selection of beans, scrambled eggs, sausages and Spanish Omelette under a hood, but they were all cold and very unappetising. On the first day of our stay, I thought maybe we had caught them on a bad day and that the following day would be better. Unfortunately, there was no change on the following day. The same "hot" food left to go cold. There was no sense of it being consumed or replenished regularly as you might expect at a busy hotel breakfast. (Maybe a 3 again) Overall, I settled on a 3.5. A 4*or 5* rating has a tendency to focus the mind on the negatives of a hotel while a lower rating encourages focusing on the positives. I enjoyed our stay and had it not been a 4* hotel, I'm sure I would have reviewed it more favourably. With a little extra effort, Carlemany could be a great hotel.

We stayed here for three nights as I was in Girona for business. Loved it. Hotel very up to date…read morewith bar/bistro with outside dining, cafe and lovely atrium for breakfast. Helpful staff. Parking garage below with elevator access. In the middle of town but quiet at night. Good shopping around the area. But you can't beat the location, you can walk to anything in the city. Historic district, restaurants , train station three blocks away (picked up rental car there). It was a really good home for three days. My wife was able to sightsee and shop to her heart's content. We really enjoyed our stay.
