Very helpful staff,clean,location right next to train station,nice tv/reading room.where we spent some time after checkout. Very good value for money,recommended.

Mihai Romania

Friendly and helpful staff, clean, closeness to railroad station and beach.

George United States of America

The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The room was basic and clean.

Jean Spain

Breakfast was much better than I expected, and was available from 7 - 11am. There was a choice of 3 different, good quality, fruit juices. Fresh fruit, cereal, breads, toast, cold meats, spanish tortilla, cheeses, yogurts, croissants and other sweet rolls/bagels/donuts. The coffee was made by a very easy to use coffee machine and you could have as many as you wanted. The staff member in charge of topping up the breakfast as it became depleted was friendly and helpful and even with only 15 minutes left for breakfasting he still topped up items which were diminishing. The staff were very helpful and our room was cleaned with new towels every day, and bedlinen changed after just 2 days. The hotel was less than 100 metres from the train station and reception was more than happy to allow us to leave our luggage there for the day after we checked out.

David United Kingdom

The breakfast was great. The staff was very nice and the room was very clean.

Michiel Netherlands

Everything else, really clean room and very helpful staff. My recommendation to everyone who needs quick access to the beach and trainstation.

Djordje Kosovo

The staff was wonderful and the room was great. The location was perfect.

Patrick United States of America

Very helpful woman at check in. Gave us a map and oriented us. Spotless, brand new.

David United States of America

Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast included, room very comfortable.

Neil United Kingdom

very close to the train station and on a walking distance to the touristic area (about 5 minutes walking and a lot of stairs to climb to Balcón del Mediterráneo, or 5-10 minutes to the beach). Comfortable bed and pillows. Very good breakfast with a lot of choice for food and drinks.

One of our top picks in Tarragona. A short walk from the beach, this chic and simple hotel serves a great breakfast and you can stay up-to-date on the free wireless internet connection – relax in the lounge.

Take the short walk from the Catalunya Express to the coast of Tarragona, where enjoy views of the Mediterranean and even enjoy a swim in the mild water. You can also enjoy various sporting activities such as windsurfing or sailing.

Start the day with a great continental breakfast buffet and some authentic Spanish morning coffee. After a busy day exploring the sights, relax with friends or other guests in the inviting TV lounge.

The Catalunya Express’s location is excellent because it is near the train station, giving you fantastic opportunities to explore Catalunya’s towns and countryside.

This is our guests' favorite part of Tarragona, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.0 for a two-person trip.
