Basic but you get what you pay for. The pool was great, drinks great, food great and the staff were friendly. Big room with a lovely balcony! A little noisy at night but that cant be helped!

The room is too small, and the safe is an additional purchase it has some old fashion locks. The dining room is too small and you had to wait to get it.

This hotel is very nice. Beautiful lobby area. Staff professional and friendly. Swimming pool too small and I didn’t get a chance to try it because it was too crowded. Also They give very limited time for breakfast. It is from 8am till 9:30am and all guests come together to get their breakfast and it’s too many people. For such a big hotel ( I think it’s around 200 rooms families ) it should be at least 3 hours breakfast time. Otherwise all was good. Wi-Fi worked very good.

Pleasant stay.
I asked for quiet room, high up, front - facing the sea. Got all that, 5th floor. Room and hotel generally clean. Room service was good. Reception and restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful. Food was satisfactory - you get what you pay for. You pay for tea / coffee with dinner. Breakfast and dinner buffet style. No tea/coffee - making facilities in my room. However I brought my own kettle and of course 'Barrys Tea' from Cork! Not even one English language TV station available. No fridge in my room. Two electric sockets in my room, located half-way up the wall. Ingenuity needed to plug in my kettle for the tea! Another in the bathroom ( maybe illegal under EU rules, I'm not sure!) Hotel is 15 minutes from beach. A glimpse of the sea over rooftops of hotels in front. Mini supermarket in front open until 10.30pm. I didn't find any of the local bars or restaturants very exotic - nothing to write about. Nothing very distinctive about Calella. A lot of shops in the Old Town. One of many resorts north of Barcelona. If one goes to Spain for sun, sea, sand - one can ave those in Calella and Hotel Esplai was very good value. I took boat to Tossa de Mar one day - €32.00, train to Blanes another day only €4.90. Train from Barcelona Airport to Calella, a lovely journey along the coast - sit on the right - was only €4.90 too. Clean comfortable trains. One hour to Barcelona on train.

Restaurant
On our first evening the restaurant was busy .There was no one to advise you of the setup. The staff did not seem to realise that by clearing tables where guests had finished their meals people waiting could be seated. No red wine Monday evening, Tuesday lunch and evening. Sometimes no cold meat at the salad section

Hotel was better than expected for a 3 star
Overall the hotel was very good.Staff were very friendly,food not too bad but was never hot.The only grievances we had were that the mealtimes were too short and the food was being removed half an hour before the end of each sitting,and we had to ask for clean bed linen 9 days into our two week stay.

There is a good value hotel, good swimming pool, good breakfast and dinner.Could be more diversified.Butm it's good for a Calella *** stars hotel. It is placed near the centre of the town, 300 m from the beach.I recommend it.

Expérience horrible. Je vous déconseille vivement cet hôtel. Punaises de lit dans l’un des lits, personnel extrêmement désagréable et peu arrangeant (refus d’avoir un oreiller supplémentaire pour un minimum de confort), BRUIT toute la nuit dans les couloirs, piscine trouble et faïence pleine de mousse, jacuzzi inutilisable car plein de vase avec eau jaunie, chambres sales et vétustes… Nous avions réservé deux nuits pour la fin de nos vacances, nous les regrettons amèrement. Un tel établissement est une honte.

Bueno,hace nada que fui con mi pareja y la primera habitación bastante mal,gracias a este hotel voy a pensar en que jamás pille cama de matrimonio xk te meten en un hueco enano que la habitación es de una persona y ya esta, habitación 333 demasiado pequeña para dos y me imagino que habrán más como esas,la primera noche tuvimos problemas con el aire acondicionado de la habitación de la lado que sonaba un ruido como si taladran y al día siguiente nos cambiaron de habitación que fue mucho mejor porque era más grande todo en general,también en las fechas que estamos había mucha gente de vacaciones,pero el tema de la comida muy bien xk había mucha.

Para acceder al hotel hay unas escaleras, no está adaptado. No hay secador en la habitación. Falta actualizar, en nuestra habitación había una balda del armario con un agujero y la puerta del lavabo abollada. El agua de la ducha iba variando de caliente a helada y sin mucha presión. Sobre la comida era repetitiva (y eso que solo estuvimos 3 días y era muy similar). La piscina llena de moho... Deberían hacer mejoras.

Preis _ Leistung Top.
Lage mitten im Zentrum.... Na ja Keine eigenen Parkplätze.... Na ja Kostenloser Sammelparkplatz ca 800m entfernt.... Na ja Keine Möglichkeit mit Kinderwagen, da es zum Eingang nur Treppen gibt und Kinder getragen werden müssen oder Maxi Cosi... Na ja Abendessen gut und reichlich Auswahl, auch Nachtisch, Getränke nur Wasser umsonst, andere Getränke kosten Geld ...Na ja Frühstück ebenfalls Top, riesen Auswahl an kalt und warm, sowie Cornflakes und Marmelade und süßen Sachen...YES Wir fanden es sehr sauber und Rezeption freundlich; spricht Spanisch, französisch, englisch und deutsch.... Eventuell auch mehr... TOP

Avendo 2 bambini, non è stato molto positivo. Per il resto tutto ok, buona posizione, cibo vario. Parcheggio troppo piccolo...abbiamo dovuto mettere l auto nelle vicinanze

Fy fan vilket sunkigt hotell. Smutsigt, äckligt o jäkligt små rum. Man kan tycka att personalen i receptionen ska kunna lite engelska om man jobbar på ett hotell med framför allt engelsktalande gäster, men icke...Jössese, åk inte hit.
