Checkin Catalonia

"Horrible stay, the hotel was supposed to have quiet hour starting at 10 they admitted that, but at 11:30 PM, 50 children from Germany were running wild through the place, we were with an EF group of high school students, and they were all tucked nicely away in bed for a 615 departure however most of them were staying on the floor directly below the lobby which means that all of the chairs scraping, children running, and all the noise was directly on top of them it made for a very terrible sleeping arrangement. It got to the point where our Tour Director actually threatened to call the police on the hotel because they did not say anything to the other group that was here."

"Miserable staff. Cold food. No entertainment. Had money stolen from room, manager wasn’t interested. Never even said thank you or goodbye when we left. Take towels as they guard theirs with their life. Not enough glasses you have to take glasses back to bar. Pool on top floor so if you want a drink you have to go down 9 floors to get a drink. They did have vending machine top floor but had to pay but we were all inclusive. Felt they didn’t want to give you anything or make your stay pleasant. All inclusive drinks stop at 10pm. Made to wait nearly two hours on arrival for our room and not even offered a drink as they said we had to wait for wrist bands when they let us in our room. Two small pools one in shade all day. Hotel was clean that was the only good thing. "

"I was here for Ironman so the whole town was geared up for it. They did a 5 am breakfast on race day which was great and this was an official Nirvana Ironman travel hotel although booked independently cost about €700 less. It was great value for the trip costing about £260 for the 5 days B&B. Plenty of places to eat nearby and all reasonable. Rooftop pool was amazing and very cold which was good as the weather was so hot. Lots of choice for breakfast and dinner was also really good. coffee in the bar was only €1.40 and it was free to park outside as long as you find a space, but there tended to be spaces later in the evening. Bikes were allowed in the room and in the lift. Room was basic but comfortable and had a fridge which was useful and a balcony and was air conditioned. it was only a few hundred yards from Ironman registration and the finish line so position A for everything I wanted. Staff were friendly and helpful but I couldn’t help but feel sorry for anyone booking it through Nirvana"
