Hotel Vila Mar

Comfortable room, staff helpful and location convenient for the town and the port.

My room was at the back of the hotel and quiet, the staff where helpful and courteus. It was an ideal city stopover on route down the coast and a short walk to the bustling harbour. The breakfast could have been more extensive but it was included in the price and very good value.

very clean, friendly staff, big room and bathroom.

There was a very serious problem with the sewage system. The room was smelling awfully, especially after the use of the bathroom.

The Hotel Vila Mar, though only boasting 2 stars, was better than a number of 3-star hotels I've stayed at. Presumably a lack of telephones in the rooms stops it having the third star. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was very adequate, better than you often get in such hotels in this part of the world. The hotel is set back about a 5-minute walk from the sea-front in a fairly quiet part of town, so there was little noise disturbance at night. This will not be a problem for those wishing to try out their Spanish (or Catalan), but there was very little English spoken by the staff. It is not a hotel particularly geared for foreign tourists. The hotel credit card machine didn't accept my Mastercard credit card for some strange reason, so that entailed some scrambling around the local cash points. So don't leave it to the last moment if you intend to pay by credit card!

very basic hotel, clean enought, budget (79eur for a triple room), close to pedestrian area situated in a residential area, you don't feel to be in a sea village
