Never Again!!

Well where do i start! This is most definately the worst hotel i have ever had the misfortune to stay at. The reception staff are not at all helful and quite ignorant in fact. The room was basic as expected, but beds were hard as rock and we only had one very flat pillow each. Trying to get to sleep was difficult enough with an uncomfortable bed but the noise from the young lads in the next room made sleep almost impossible it went on till 6am approx! Then when a group of young German girls moved in to a room underneath ours it was made far worse. They shouted to each other all night and morning!! The restaurant staff were friendly enough but ive got to say the food was awful no selction and very bland. Breakfast consisted of one cereal and slices of salami and cheese with a roll. The orange and pineapple juices had been watered down and the coffee was very strong. The evening meal consisted of a soup that was always disgusting, a basic salad a pasta that was bland chips that were...... Read more

I booked this hotel as a second holiday for me and my husband as it was a cheap half board deal. We were not expecting the Ritz, but neither were we expecting Faulty Towers. The rooms were very basic and badly in need of a refurb. The balcony looked out on to a brick wall with patio doors that when you locked one side the other side opened. Breakfast: nothing remotely healthy everything was sweet unless you had a bread roll. we didn't bother after a few days. Evening meal:lovely salad All main courses tended to be a mish mash.The bar staff were very nice and friendly, but the reception staff quite ignorant,and they won't change english currency. Location ok with plenty of lovely resturants close by. All in all, it was ok to rest my head at this place, but if you like to spend time in your room, it's not for you.

We booked this holiday as a late last minute break. We knew it was a cheap holiday in a cheap hotel, so had realistic expectations.
First impressions were good - a bit old fashioned, but cosy. We were lucky that, when we arrived the young lady, who we later found was the only receptionist who spoke English, was on duty. She was very helpful. We found our room without problems. It wasn't big, but clean. It was cleaned properly every day of our stay, with clean towels. The balcony overlooked several "dumpsters" which were emptied everyday, soon after midnight. Avoid Saturday nights if you can, as the adjacent recycling bins, including glass and cans, are emptied then!
Downstairs, the bar was run by a friendly Spanish couple (on opposite shifts - don't know how they manage it)
Now the real downside - the food. On the occasions we ate there it would have been rejected in a 1950's school canteen (I am 60). Gristly beef stew, tinned ravioli & spaghetti, fish fingers - the list goes...... Read more

They hate the English

My friend and I have just got back from a week in Calella staying at this 1970's throwback hotel. We arrived in Calella at 11pm, & the airport transfer dropped us at the top of the road about five minutes walk from the hotel due to the minivan being unable to access the one way street where the hotel is situated. Usually this wouldn't have been a problem, but we were dropped off and told to just follow the road down until we saw the sign. It was really intimidating to say the least, being two young girls in an unusual place and having to find our own way through the backstreets of Calella, it wasn't exactly what we were expecting. When we arrived at the hotel, there was a large Spanish guy sitting on the front steps, my friend and I, struggled to get our cases up the steps to the hotel entrance and he just looked at us. (Oh I noticed that there was no disabled access around the hotel either.) We then went to check in, the same guy who was sat on the steps took his time to read our...... Read more

Not one for the family!!!

We have just returned from Hotel Continental and all I can say is "DO NOT BOOK THIS ONE!" if you are looking for a nice friendly, family holiday, this hotel should be avoided.
On arrival at the hotel we were given a key to our apartment and a card stating what time we were allowed to eat dinner. As the reception staff spoke no English we were not offered an explanation of where to find our room, she just thrust the key into our hands and ignored us.
This is a very residential area so the only views from the balcony were of dilapidated spanish homes. We quickly realised that the hotel was filled to the rafters with teenage lads (German , Dutch & Italian) generally between the ages of 16- 20, certainly not what we were expecting.
There is no air conditioning in the rooms as stated and whilst the rooms are relatively clean they smell very damp and was not cleaned once during our weeks stay.
The pool on the roof sounds lovely, but it is on the small side and there is no childrens...... Read more
