Catalogne Hotel

"We loved this hotel and the staff were fabulous. Our room was lovely, comfortable and had everything we could need including robes and slippers. The gardens and pool area were absolutely beautiful and the little bar just perfect. Breakfast was great too with a wide range of food available. Of course the French pastries- croissant, pain au chocolat and brioche were to die for. We didn’t have a car but found the public transport to be cheap and efficient. I highly recommend this hotel."

"We had a very enjoyable stay and would happily return. The hotel is clean, well maintained and offers excellent value for money. Our family room was spacious, with a separate bunk room for the children, which worked brilliantly and gave everyone a little more space. The complimentary bottled water in the fridge was a welcome touch, and the room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool area was a highlight. It’s a good size, well looked after and surrounded by a terrace where you can relax with a drink or enjoy a meal overlooking the water. The food served around the pool was good, with the Caesar salad being a particular standout, and the cocktails (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) were excellent. Breakfast offered a reasonable selection and was perfectly adequate, with the usual continental options you’d expect in France. The only real disappointment was the seating. Indoor tables were very limited, meaning we had to sit outside. Not normally an issue, but unfortunately the shaded terrace was effectively unusable due to a swarm of wasps, leaving the only option as the unshaded seating in temperatures already well into the mid-20s. It didn’t spoil our stay, but it’s something the hotel could perhaps look at managing. Whilst it doesn’t try to be a five-star luxury hotel, it delivers exactly what it promises and does so very well. For the price, we felt it represented excellent value and we’d happily stay here again. Pros * Spacious family room with a separate bunk room for the children. * Good-sized swimming pool. * Lovely terrace overlooking the pool for drinks and meals. * Good poolside food. * Excellent cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). * Clean throughout. * Effective air conditioning. * Complimentary bottled water in the room fridge. * Excellent value for money. Cons * No in-room safe. * Limited indoor seating at breakfast. * Shaded breakfast terrace affected by a swarm of wasps. Overall: 8/10"

"Stayed here last year and I couldn't praise it enough . This year, the Hotel is still lovely, clean, secure car park, lovely swimming pool, but unfortunately the staff weren't as friendly or as helpful. The pool bar service was terrible, there was no one there half the time it had a sign saying go to the reception to ask for someone to serve. Numerous times we and other hotel guests went to reception and there was no one there either, terrible service and not what a pool bar is supposed to be like. A lady called Audry did her best to help . Yes I would still recommend this hotel for short breaks, unfortunately it's the lack of staff this year that let it down."
