Good hotel in a very good location - close to shops, restaurants, beach. The swimming pool was good and room was clean. We had room with balcony. The food was good and different every day. We liked our stay there and hope to return!

Excellent
Het is heel dicht aan de “strip” van Blanes en ook dicht bij het strand! Schone nette kamer en ontbijt was prima.
Very good
La ubicación del hotel estaba bien. Había que andar un poco para ir al centro pero muy cerca de la playa. La habitación estaba bien, el balcón era chulo además. La mayoría de los empleados eran muy agradables. Se agradece que tengan un maletero.
El desayuno era muy malo. Nunca había probado uno peor. Lo teníamos incluido dos días pero el segundo nos fuimos a una cafetería externa.

La playa estaba cerca
Very old hotel, very small pool, we couldn't find any sunbeds, the power went out not the hotel's fault and the elevator wasn't working, we had dinner as if in a sauna and not even a small apology, not even a bottle of water as a gesture, I won't be coming back!!

Average
Lo único bueno del "hostal" ha sido el aire acondicionado y la ducha que salía bien el caudal del agua.
El personal del comedor se le veia trabajador pero agobiaban porque siempre había gente esperando colas para entrar a comer.
El hostal está cerca de la playa.
Blanes tiene un paseo marítimo grande y bonito.
Located on the 5th floor out of 6 with only a slow and tiny elevator.
The food was terrible, no quality, hard, tasteless, and cold.
The TV in the room looked terrible.
Cleaning was rushed and practically nonexistent.
Queues outside the dining room to get in for a meal.
The individual paper and half-felt tablecloths are not changed from the tables when the diners leave, they are just wiped over with a cloth and used by the next person, day after day.
The pool was small and the toy jacuzzi indicated a maximum of 4 people could enter and only adults, but it was actually for two, and children would get in alone and parents didn't care.
Tiny glasses to pour water from a machine in the morning and wait in more queues.
Powdered juices and water in the same machine that surprised me that people would drink.
Unfriendly reception staff.
They should put a small fridge in the rooms.
Impossible to park in the area.
We managed to park a 25-minute walk from the hotel.
To top it off, we received a fine of 100€. Every Tuesday for 1 hour of cleaning the street with blowing machines, besides covering your car with dirt, they give this fine to all tourists, this past Tuesday to more than 65 vehicles.
There is a sign in Catalan that was hardly visible stating that the street is cleaned on Tuesdays from 10 to 11. Thanks to a neighbor who explained the reason to us and said that people fall like flies.
A regrettable holiday and stay because it is more of a hostel than a hotel, the 3 stars are too many.
I would never come back.
Ubicados en una 5 planta de 6 con solo un ascensor lento y diminuto.
La comida nefasta, sin calidad, dura,basta y fría.
La televisión de la habitación se veía fatal.
La limpieza deprisa y prácticamente nula.
Colas fuera del comedor para pasar a comer.
Los manteles individuales de papel y mezcla de medio fieltro no los cambian de las mesas cuando se van los comensales, los limpian por encima con un trapo y que los utilice el siguiente ,así día tras dia.
La piscina pequeña y el jacuzzi de juguete, ponían que se podían meter max 4 personas y solo adultos, realmente era para dos.y se metían niños solos y a los padres les daba igual.
Vasos diminutos para echarte agua por la mañana de una máquina y a esperar más colas.
Zumos de polvo y agua en la misma máquina que me sorprende que la gente se tomara.
El personal de recepción antipática.
Deberían poner una pequeña nevera en las habitaciones.
Imposible aparcar en la zona.
Conseguimos aparcar a 25 minutos andando del hotel.
Para colmo nos encontramos una multa recaudatoria de 100€. Cada martes por limpieza de 1 h en la calzada con máquinas sopladoras, aparte de llenarte el coche de mierda, a todos los turistas le meten esta multa, este último martes a más de 65 vehículos.
Hay un cartel en catalán que ni se veía donde pone que de 10 a 11 se limpia los martes esa calle. Gracias a un vecino que nos explicó el motivo y nos dijo que cae la gente como moscas.
Un viaje y estancia lamentable porque es un hostal más que un hotel, las 3 estrellas le sobran.
No volvería nunca.
