Our team recommends:

• Rice dishes with a view of the Mediterranean: book a meal along the promenade and try one of the rice dishes or seafood specialties typical of this part of the Catalan coast. Holidays and long after-dinner chats go hand in hand.

• Francesc Macià Park: If you’re travelling with children, set aside some time for this large park in Malgrat, known for its giant sculptures and playgrounds.

• A Getaway by Train: With the station so close by, take the opportunity to explore other parts of the Maresme region or plan a day holiday to Barcelona. It’s one of those hotels where leaving your car behind—or simply not bringing it at all—is especially easy.

Guests who’ve stayed here particularly highlight its proximity to the beach, the train station, and Malgrat’s amenities, as well as its highly rated value for money. On the downside, some reviews mention noise and inconsistent service. If your priority is being close to the sea and having public transportation practically right outside the door, its location is its strongest selling point.
