Hotel Palafox

“A nice, classic city hotel that meets expectations”

My wife and I stayed here 2 nights this June. The hotel has a pleasing design and style. The reception and check-in - very smooth and friendly. All staff seems well used to also communicate in English, this makes everything easier for non Spanish speaking visitors. Our room on the 7th. floor was nicely laid out and served us well. The pool area on the roof was also quite nice. A small point here where improvement is possible: Pool towels, currently, when asking you are directed down to the reception. This seems very odd indeed. Why not just stack towels somewhere near the pool? (Or supply them with the room?) A better solution is certainly needed. The WIFI works OK, but a future upgrade to deliver a bit more performance will be appreciated by many guests. The breakfast is a fairly standard buffet style, but absolutely quite OK. The dining restaurant is very nice, suitable for a bit formal dining. We tried it twice, very good service and very good food! Somehow, they need more guests - the quality and the moderate price deserve it.

“Old fashioned comfort”

Beautiful old fashioned hotel, I received a huge room. Very kind staff, excellent restaurant in the basement. Maybe the room could need a modern renovation, the hotel seems to have remained in the 80’. Nevertheless clean, my room was on the backside, therefore very calm.

“Central location, poor Wi-Fi, good breakfast”

Checkin was incredibly slow, room was good size, Wi-Fi in room in the evening unusable, better very late at night and early morning. TV only a few Spanish channels connected, showed loads others but no connection, we asked reception for help with these matters, girl tried her best but to no avail a… more

Checkin was incredibly slow, room was good size, Wi-Fi in room in the evening unusable, better very late at night and early morning. TV only a few Spanish channels connected, showed loads others but no connection, we asked reception for help with these matters, girl tried her best but to no avail and admitted engineer not on duty till much later. Breakfast has a good selection on the buffet and dishes cooked to order, But the waiter forgot ours and our neighbouring table - twice! Hotel advertises car park as 3 euroes more -they pay and charge you - it’s easy to do yourself! This a is good 3 star hotel, which has seen better days, in need of decor renovation, and general upgrade throughout, even the floor buttons in the lift were worn and difficult to read!

“5* you have to be joking”

5*?? Whose opinion is that? My disabled friend was stared at constantly when he had a meal in the bar area ( restaurant was closed). No tea or coffee making facilities in room, no slippers or dressing gown provided & air con is not efficient. I have stayed in a 4* hotel in Barcelona with a much b… more

5*?? Whose opinion is that? My disabled friend was stared at constantly when he had a meal in the bar area ( restaurant was closed). No tea or coffee making facilities in room, no slippers or dressing gown provided & air con is not efficient. I have stayed in a 4* hotel in Barcelona with a much better atmosphere, more respectful staff & much better facilities in the room. Breakfast was good, but that is the only good thing I can say about this large impersonal hotel.
