I stayed at the Catalina for 4 weeks in July with three of my friends.
Before we went we were terrified what to expect. All I can say is that most of the reviews are totally over exaggerated. For what you pay, the hotel is amazing! It's fairly clean and really comfortable!
Our air con didn't work, but who is in their room long enough for that to be a problem...especially in Ibiza!
We checked in just fine and as we had to wait a couple of hours were offered the use of storage for our cases and the use of showers and changing rooms...free of charge.
We were made up to see our room had a safe and just paid the 3euros a day for it,
We had no problems atall with hot water! The cleaner came to our room every day and changed towels/sheets as and when we requested!
If you don't lock your door people may just open it and walk in.... but for some reason we didnt mind that! We loved how you knew everyone in the hotel and how you would shout to them from your balcony!
We knew there was no pool but there is plenty of choice...no 1 cares when you go in to use theirs, just an opportunity to meet more people.
The location is incredible and I don't think any other hotel is situated in a better place! Roll on Ibiza 2009! We will be making a 2 week stay at the Catalina for sure.

Good price, good location. The apartments are really good value for money. Its fairly clean and really comfortable! The cleaner came to our room every day and changed towels/sheets as and when we requested! We knew there was no pool but there is plenty of choice... the hotel is situated only a few steps from cafe savannah so literally walk out the front door and your on the sea front. Strongly recommend Hotel Catalina!
Disgusting room, great view

Firstly I would like to say do not stay at this hotel unless you have booked and paid for in advance one of the 5 rooms at the front of the hotel with large balconies. It simply isn't worth it otherwise. We had one of these rooms and the balcony was huge (bigger than the room) but the room itself was absolutely disgusting. The first thing that hit us was a rotten gassy smell that seemed to be emanating from holes in the wall. Hotel staff were obviously aware of this as towels had been stuffed in the holes to try and block out the smell. The aircon didn't work and reception told us the engineers would be coming but they didn't in the whole time we were there (9 days). There were no cups or glasses to drink from so we had to buy plastic ones. There were a couple of knives but no forks and the plates in the cupboard were filthy and covered in food so we bought plastic ones of those too. The cover to the freezer in the fridge was missing so our ice cubes and ice creams melted. The maids came most days and will change your towels provided you leave them on the bathroom floor. They changed our sheets on our 2nd day but then strangely not again for the 9-day duration. The walls in the room had damp and the paint was peeling. We had 2 chairs but no table on the balcony and reception said they would find one for us but they didn't so we took the wooden table from inside and put it out there. We hired a safe to keep our belongings in which cost 3 euros per day plus a 10 euro deposit which they gave back to us at the end of our stay. We didn't have any problems with our shower or hot water.
When we arrived there was a couple in reception who told us that although they had booked for that night they were not able to check in until 12.00pm the next day. After reading reviews about the Catalina I had been concerned about this happening to us so I made sure the company I booked through (Flightline) told the hotel we would be arriving early in the morning and to make sure our room was ready and I would recommend others did the same.
Most of the people staying at the Catalina were totally uncivilized and rude. Expect lots of swearing, arguing, kicking of doors and general rudeness and lack of respect for anyone around them. We found the staff to be very polite and I suspect that if you are rude to them (which a lot of people were) they will be rude back; and rightly so. To sum it up, our room and the hotel was disgusting and it's only saving grace was the balcony and fab view. I wouldn't stay again and will stress again that it really isn't at all worth booking this hotel unless you have a large balcony at the front.
