We realised quickly that we'd ordered too much and it was getting late so we asked them to stop cooking. I think they were relieved. If we had arrived earlier we could have sat at the outdoor terrace which had a lovely view. The rooms are very comfortable and unique. The amenities were very nice. There's cool art all around. The WiFi kind of, sometimes worked and the owner didn't seem keen on us staying at the bar too long after dinner. One of our rooms had a sitting area so we moved there for a nightcap. There's street parking and the roads are extremely NARROW so drive and park with caution.

We visited the Poblet Monastery on our way home back to France from Reus. As a UNESCO World…read moreHeritage site, it is worth visiting for both history and architectural fans. The Poblet Monastery is a Cistercian abbey in Catalonia and one of the largest in Spain. You can visit the grounds and the chapel without a ticket, which is what we did because we had our dogs with us and it was too cold and windy to wait outside while we took turns viewing the interior. The grounds and surrounding walls are very impressive. The price of admission is 11 euros per person. We initially thought that was high but then noticed that aside from it still being a working monastery, it also provides hospitality programs for youth which are onsite.

An easy day trip from Barcelona, it is not to be missed, it is incredible. Also, it has one of the best gift shops of any tourist site I've been to.

Pricing for hotels in this area is a much better deal and offers access to great restaurants, beautiful beaches of the Spanish Riviera, plenty of shopping, and historical venues. The hotel offers parking for an additional fee although spaces are much tighter than what you would find in the US so don't plan to get an oversized vehicle in this parking garage! The folks at the front desk here are exceptionally helpful, offering maps, directions, and any special assistance which we fully utilized when one of our locks got stuck on a suitcase! Rooms are sparse and moderately sized, but are clean have all the basic amenities, including safes and air-conditioning.
