Xavier runs the place with his mother and attends to the cycling crowd. There's the primary hotel section (4floors) and an adjacent apartment. The rooms are tastefully decorated with lots of heating and extra comforters for it can get pretty chilly inside a building like this. They are working to expand the dinning area to support larger buffets for the peak seasons but I find the coziness my to my liking. They serve typical Catalian hot breakfast that are miles (sorry, kilometers) better than hotels I've stayed with in Barcelona.

I can easily forgive that the hotel needs a fair bit of cosmetic maintenance (see pictures of a few…read moreitems) but the fact it felt physically unsafe wasn't acceptable. The hotel uses a motion detector system to turn on hallway lights. Unfortunately, it's not configured well. The dark picture below is my first two steps into the hallway (from either direction). The picture of the staircase was lightened automatically by my iPhone. And while it's likely the city rather than the hotel that created the problem, there is a curb that is invisible to those of us with depth perception struggled (see grey stone picture). The two parts are a step of three inches. Tape (yellow or reflective) would really help. The breakfast was "meh", they use only half the room (making it feel crowded), and the towels they insist on leaving take up the entire area by the sink. The person who was the Front Desk manager said that they were aware. (I'd asked to speak to the hotel manager but he refused to check.) I'd said I felt the problems deserved a one-star review. He told me I was wrong! No sense he cared at all (perhaps because I asked to speak in English and subtlety is English is tough.) He did have a safety light turned on in my hallway (which did help though it buzzed all the time). So three stars but I doubt I'd return.

Then we were headed to our room in the elevator which opened directly to our room. I feel like I've only ever seen this in movies. There's one room per floor and although a pretty old and historic building, it was upgraded to have a kitchen in each room, amazingly comfortable bed and an AC.

I think this hotel (and Europe in general) has so much charm for this very reason! We were only here for a single night, but the room was fantastic. New fixtures, comfy beds, and a great rain shower. The room also had automatic curtains, which aren't exactly a breakthrough feature but I'll admit I always feel like a king when I can command them from the comfort of my bed! In addition, the hotel is in a great location for exploring the town. They also had an amazing breakfast spread in the morning. Sadly, we were in a rush to get to the Barcelona airport, so I was only able to grab a couple doughnuts for my group and run out the door. I highly recommend checking this place out if you ever find yourself in Girona, it's a great find.

The hotel is on the edge of town perched on a hill. Girona is a great walking city and this location did not take advantage of that as the city center was a very long and steep walk away. However, taxis are inexpensive so getting around was not a problem, at all. Our room was very Euro, clean, spartan, and highly functional. The bathroom was stocked with the usual toiletries and a big bonus of a bidet. (we -wimps- did not use the bidet) As a Marriott Gold Member, the minibar contents were FREE, including beer! We did not use the restaurant, but the Catalan breakfast spread was very good. Lots of porky goodness in the form of local ham and a multitude of sausages. An extensive array of cheeses from soft to hard and stinky to mild. Lots of pastries and fruit, too. It was a two plate affair. My wife used the workout room and she said while it was small, it was clean and new. The front desk staff was friendly and attentive to our requests. They had to help translate for taxi driver for the early Monday morning pick up. Our bar waiter on Friday night was hard to track down for each round, but was friendly when he was serving. AC was very inexpensive. A very nice place to stay, but I will probably want to try another hotel in the city center next time. Paying a little bit more for a central location will be offset by not having to use taxis for every move.

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.

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.)
