Our stay at the Hotel Mediterrani was a fantastic experience. The hotel is beautifully designed,…read moreour room was very clean with a view over looking the ocean, perhaps the best view in all of Calella. We loved sitting out on the balcony at night taking in the scene. The hotel staff went out their way to make sure we had a positive experience. We mostly interacted with Evelyn, one of the hotel managers. She was awesome! The complimentary breakfast better than expected, lots of unexpected extras.

There is a parking lot that you must pay to park in but is inexpensive. Free street parking is also available. The hotel was a bit hard to find in a car. I recommend searching for the hotel by name in Google maps to navigate as opposed to using the street address listed for the hotel. That street is very busy with pedestrians and difficult to drive down. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the free breakfast was amazing.

As of 10/25, the renovation of this hotel is still underway. The rooms are fine, Like a Holiday…read moreInn at home. The location is 7 minutes walk to old town, which is the main event here. It has parking but is a 15 minute walk to train station. A highlight is the roof deck bar/cafe which is a hit with locals as well as guests. Great launch point for biking groups which was out MO

A bit overpriced but the rooftop bar is great, it's a fantastic location, and service was beautiful.read more

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.

21 room boutique hotel, built 1902 as a private 4 story home, turned into a hotel in 1958. Our room…read morewas one of the few that had a balcony and it was located on floor one which to us we would call floor two. It's located right on the beach. Very clean, good bed. The commode and sink were in one room and the shower in another. The shower was quite roomy and tall enough, which sometimes can be a problem for me in old buildings. The common areas and stairway were very, very ornate and too cool. We just loved this place. It had a nice courtyard for the breakfast, which was a very nice breakfast. The front of the hotel facing the beach was also a restaurant and was where the breakfast was served. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was parking available at €26 per day at their sister hotel, the dolphin. It was very tight getting my Volvo SUV in there that I'd rented. This was just a very cool place to stay!

We picked this as a bit of a 'splurge' hotel to relax after several nights of hostelling in…read moreBarcelona and an airbnb in Girona. As for staying in Llafranc - we're glad we did. It was such a lovely place. The beach was packed but gorgeous, there was plenty of walks you could do, etc. Really just a beautiful place to see. Food, however (whether at the one grocery store or at a restaurant) was pretty pricey in this town. I mention the town itself because why would you consider staying here if you aren't considering Llafranc? And if you really want to go to Llafranc, you'll probably stay here since it really was the cheapest place (at least when we went). As for this hotel... it was alright. The major positive was that is was RIGHT on the beach. Literally out the front door. Though, it was small and cramped as European hotel rooms seem to be. It was nice after spending several nights in a hostel, but only really nice because of that. They had a patio space with lounge chairs, but it wasn't really pretty or anything and didn't have a great view unless you stood up over the railing (though it was still a nice place to decompress with some wine). They wouldn't allow any towels to be taken to the beach. The desk wasn't helpful at all when we tried to ask where things were in town. There was no free breakfast.

The check in experience that I had at the Hotel Gran Ultonia was the best I have ever experienced…read more The front desk staff promptly answered all questions that I had prior to confirming my reservation. In advance of our arrival, the hotel sent us a link for us to add our address and passport information. They also emailed me very clear instructions how to check into the hotel: park in the temporary space in front of the hotel, receive your room keys, and then go to the assigned space in the parking garage underneath the hotel. Our room was spacious and tidy. The two double beds placed together were large (although I wish that it was slightly more comfortable). There was plenty of room for our suitcase. The hotel staff thoughtfully provided us with a bowl for our dogs (the hotel is pet friendly). I wished they had provided robes for the upgraded room. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is within walking distance of a lovely square with multiple restaurants and it is a 5 minute walking to the historic section of the city center, including the former Jewish quarter (one of the best preserved in Europe). The hotel breakfast had a lovely buffet, although there was not an option to order eggs prepared to order (a must have for my husband) and although the hotel is pet friendly, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. Check out was quick and easy. The gentleman at the front desk who checked us in was the staffer who also checked us out. He spoke 4 languages: Spanish, Catalan, English and French. He was always there even though I went in and out of the hotel at various hours. I am not sure he ever sleeps but he is a great ambassador for the hotel (apologize for not recalling his name.)
