The hotel itself was nice, especially the reception area. Staff is helpful. The rooms are a little old-fashioned, but clean and tidy. When I booked the hotel it said on the Expedia website that it takes 20 minutes to reach it by car from Barcelona, but in fact its 40 minutes in normal traffic. This was hugely inconvenient for us. There is no public transport (at all!!) that goes to this hotel, as its in the middle of nowhere(which I found out wen I'd already booked it), so the only option for us was to hire a car, which we reluctantly did. There are no shops around, so to get a bottle of water, you have to use a car to make a special journey. Our stay in Barcelona (well, we thought it was Barcelona) was for this reason quite disappointing as car parking charges are very expensive and there is hardly ever space, we had to circle around for almost 30 min at one time to get a space at the beach and on one occasion our car was towed away, as we could not read Spanish on the car park and parked in the wrong spot! Not many people speak English by the way. That was stressful to say at least, plus we had to pay £200 to get the car back (at some office where no one spoke English) and missed our pre-booked and pre-paid visit to Sagrada Familia that day!! P.S. Food wasn’t nice in the hotel restaurant. And I must say – its even worse in Barcelona, everything we eat was purely disgusting, I could not believe how bad it was! Barcelona is a no-no for me.
