L'Abarsetar

Beautiful room. Nice staff. Staff had some confusion with bill when I checked out but I had my receipt from expedia and the problem was fairly quickly rectified. Nice little cafe across the street was my morning breakfast haunt. Love the hiking in this city. Hopefully I can revisit here someday.

This hotel is so-so. It is dated and in need of renovation. The "spa" pool is really dated complete with mirrors from the late 70's/early 80's and a mural. The bathrooms in the pool area are unsightly. Our room had a great view and terrace, but the bed was uncomfortable, the linens were okay, but the decor was very dated. The massage staff, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, navigating the rest of the staff was very difficult unless you speak Catalan - which we do not (English, French, and a tiny bit of Spanish). Although the property advertises parking and valet, it was nonexistent. Same is true for "room service" which was a dicey proposition. The location was terrific and right in the heart of the shopping district and dining. The walk is about 2 blocks to Caldea.

The hotels is updated, very clean and the family room was huge!
