Nice clean apartment, on first arrival we noticed no kettle or Iron, but we went to reception and they sent both up quite promptly,we had an issue with the lock on the balcony door, but once again after we reported it, they sent maintenance up to repair straight away. Towels were changed every morning and bins emptied,also shower gel/shampoo sachets replenished daily, bed linen was changed halfway through our stay. Nice quiet place we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony in the evening, food was nice and staff friendly, very close to everything but not too close to the noise, we never used the pool due it being shaded every time we went down, but we did use the pool over the road at the sister hotel California Gardens, which was fab, if considering booking here I would ask to be located away from the lifts, they are noisy constantly going up and down, overall we had a great stay and would definitely book again… would of been even better if they had a bit of entertainment on in the evenings, I probably wouldn’t recommend if you have young children, I can imagine they would get a bit bored. Supermarket right across the road which was helpful

“Lovely for the price”

Basic but lovely hotel. Great location without being on top of it all. Food good, room clean and staff extremely friendly and very helpful. The only downside (for hubby not me) was the poor WiFi connection. Other than that very reasonable for the price. On a side note the pool area was in the shad… more

Basic but lovely hotel. Great location without being on top of it all. Food good, room clean and staff extremely friendly and very helpful. The only downside (for hubby not me) was the poor WiFi connection. Other than that very reasonable for the price. On a side note the pool area was in the shade however we had access to the sister hotel across the road which was a sun trap.

“Nice beach, good weather!!”

We've just spent 2 weeks in Salou, and this was our base. Checking on on arrival was quick and easy, and off we went to our 2nd floor apartment.

We've just spent 2 weeks in Salou, and this was our base. Checking on on arrival was quick and easy, and off we went to our 2nd floor apartment. On entry to the apartment, we found it spacious and clean, but there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke for the first few days, but this seemed to disappear, the cleaners were in daily to change the towels and make the beds, they did seem to get annoyed if you declined the service, a simple "do not disturb" sign to hang on the door would have been handy as they just rang the bell and entered before giving you time to answer the door and would just disturb you from sleeping if you'd had a late night. The breakfast menu was much the same daily, not a lot of variation at all. Sometimes the food was cold by the time you'd got it from queuing, the evening meal menu was a little more choice but the set up wasn't the best as queuing for the salad foods was in the way of the soup starter which was in the way of some of the hot foods meant people felt you were pushing in for certain foods, but on rhe whole there was always plenty to choose from and the kitchen staff worked constantly to ensure there was plenty to serve everyone. All staff in the hotel were very pleasant and professional. There was only one gent on reception who seemed getting up from his seat to get you your keys was always an effort. The pool area was clean and sun beds available, but due to where it was, you were lucky to get any sun over the pool or whilst on a bed, so we didn't use this. You could use the sister California Gardens Hotel across the road if you wanted, which had a lot more sun on the pool area but was very busy, so it was difficult to get a bed at any time. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay, but we're not sure if Salou is somewhere we'd return too personally!

Staying a week in September and have to say the overall impression is very good. However a few minor improvements could make it better. Check in was easy and efficient. We have one of the older rooms and I would highly recommend upgrading to a refurbished one. Room is adequate but lacks some things. As others have mentioned a kettle would be useful. We have used the saucepan. No bottle opener was a major problem to us but we now buy screw top or boxed wine for the room. No coffee table to put drinks on. We have moved the balcony table inside. Not ideal but ok. I accept the hotel is not SC now so perhaps they feel these things aren’t needed. Cleaning and fresh towels have been provided daily. Can’t fault that in any way. Food in the restaurant is more than ok. As good as any other we have had. Breakfast has plenty of choice and the evening meal also. Not 5* but we haven’t paid for that. Bar area is nice and relaxed and reasonably priced. As others have said, the pool is a big let down but we have used the one across the road. All in all we are very happy with what we got for the price we paid and will return again.
