Hotel Catalunya

Convenient location with beautiful views, particularly from the breakfast room on the 9th floor! The staff was professional. The only minor inconvenience was that the gym hours are restricted (9AM to 9PM) and that you must go to the front desk to obtain a key for each visit. But this did not detract from our overall enjoyment of our stay.

The hotel is dated, but the rooms are big and clean. The bathroom has a very small shower. They do not have parking, so you have to find a spot on the street. If you park where there are white lines, it free. If you park where there are blue lines, it's pretty expensive. About $10 for the day shift and $10 for the evening shift. The buffet breakfast was very good with a good amount of variety. The view of the old town and marina was spectacular. The staff was not very friendly or nice. It's also in a very good location to the historical area and 2 beaches.

This hotel is located near the old part of town, about a five minute walk from the walls. I strongly suggest booking a sea view room because the view is worth every penny. The rooms are adequate, stocked with small essentials, a kettle for hot water (you can make either tea or instant coffee), and a mini fridge. If you are going to put food in the fridge, the temperature is too warm to keep it safe. But, it is good for drinks. The temperature of the room in the summer is a bit warm for my taste. To conserve energy, the thermostat cannot go lower than 22, but we were never able to get it lower than 24 C., which is over 75 F. If you open the windows trying to get some fresh air, the sensors in the windows shut down the air conditioning automatically. We asked if we could have the room a bit colder, and were told that these parameters cannot be changed. We didn't ask for a fan, so I don't know if one is available. So, keep in mind that during summer, if you run hot, you will be miserable. The breakfast buffet is included in the price, and it is wonderful. The staff was great, kind, and very polite. The view from the breakfast hall, located on the 9th floor, is breathtaking. If you plan to rent a car and your stay is in the summer, be prepared to look for parking for hours, sometimes finding it even 20 to 30 minutes walk from the hotel. It was the only true downside of our stay. I wish the hotel had a dedicated parking.

I had a good size room with good lighting and free to use safe. There was tea and coffee in the room but you will need to provide your own milk/creamer. Not a large choice for breakfast. Good location near the mariner and a short walk to the centre.

We enjoyed a three day stay at this hotel. The room, though small, was clean and well presented. My only comment was that newly equipped hotel bathrooms don’t have the shower in the bath.|The staff at breakfast were just lovely - helpful and cheerful. Eating breakfast with those lovely views and in the evening for sunset was really enjoyable.

Great hotel. Stayed with family, nice spacious rooms, clean and well kept. Staff is nice and friendly. Breakfast at the top floor with panoramic views is lovely. Nice big choice of breakfast with lovely coffee served. Location is just minute away from port, and few minutes away to historic city. If you rent a car would recommend to book parking with them in advance as parking on street is nightmare.

The location of this hotel is perfect to enjoy what this beautiful city has to offer.||Our room was comfortable and we paid extra for a sea view.||We were part of a touring party and generally the hotels are prepared and organised for when Groups arrive. This one certainly wasn’t however the male receptionist was doing his best to distribute 20 sets of keys. Then the problem started as the female receptionist called Matilda cut across her colleague and was very rude to my wife. The other members of the Group could not believe and she had my wife in tears.|To be fair she was rude to other members of the Group during our two day stay so it was not an isolated incident.||I emailed her manager but he brushed it off by saying you have to be “decisive and firm “ dealing with a large “tired” group but bearing in mind it was 4pm I don’t know where this idea came from. No apology was forthcoming and the same receptionist was again rude to other members of the Group the next day. Again to be fair most of the hotel staff struggled to either smile or be polite during our stay.||The Sky Bar was closed both nights due to a Rotary Club dinner and a Wedding so we couldn’t enjoy the sunset or experience of this bar.||Breakfast was in a small room on the first floor and the quality was poor so suggest you try some of the excellent places in the old town.||We have stayed in a lot of hotels but never experienced a member of the team and a welcome like this !

Everything was perfect! It’s located in the center, and the view from the breakfast floor is sooo nice! Food also very good, the room is nice, well equipped, you even don’t need to bring your personal staff like hair dryer, toothbrush, tooth paste, etc. I highly recommend it! I would come back anytime here! 💙
