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

George

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.

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.

“Good for short staying”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
Doors without sealing, you can hear every conversation and every noise from the corridor. Very loud staff talked loudly all the time. Only two wifi passwords for two - each of us had a computer and a cell phone, which meant that we had to switch the source every now and then. Tiny room, shower also.
Near the station, a window to ventilate the room. You can leave your luggage after check-out. It was possible to check-in earlier without additional payment.

There isn't a lift, so you do have to drag your cases up and down the stairs! It would be nice to have tea and coffee facilities in the room.
We booked this hotel the day we were arriving because our original hotel was snowed in! We didnt expect much because it was quite cheap, but it was a cute little place in a great area with lovely staff-the young lady at the front desk should be commended for her excellent English and good service! The breakfast was also really good! The room was basic but comfortable and clean. The hotel is just a short walk from the beautiful old town and many wonderful historic sites, which was just stunning. Parking is at a car park a couple of streets away, which is actually fine once its explained. We had read a lot about pick pockets and bag snatchers in Spain but we had no issues at all.

“Good quality accommodation right by the station. Plenty of bars and restaurants a short walk away.”

Fixed high level shower head. No hand held shower for all over washing. This shower solution is no good for short people and those who like to shower from the shoulders down. Needs a riser rail.
This hotel is a minute from the station and a short walk into all the town centre amenities. A great stopover while trains were not running normally. ( We continued our journey by a rail replacement bus the next day)

Breakfast was excellent and staff who served it very good. The receptionist Gabriella was very helpful and nice. It is very steep going up to the main bit of the town but there are escalators so no problem.Restaurants alongside the harbour are worth going to.

“Nice place and staff,parking is a fraud.”

We have booked this place because they claimed that they offer a parking included in the price.Arriving at the hotel although they had private parking spots in front of the hotel, the lady told us that we can't park there and that there is a public parking nearby for 13 euros/24 hours.I told her about the claimed parking and she refused that. We went to the parking she recommended and the next day we had to pay 18euros for 14 hours. This is a fraud.I put this particular filter on booking ,a place with a parking included,when i was searching for the room.
Good location, friendly staff.
