We arrived to the hotel late in the evening, after a long journey from our home country of Czech Republic.

The hotel itself is situated by one of the main streets, and is rather close to the main city's train station, which is only about 10-15 minutes of walk away.

Entering the hotel, the first thing that greeted us was the luxurious interior that, at first sight, was something to behold. The incredibly high ceiling in the main hall took my breath away! It was all nicely decorated, giving the place an overall nice look.

Then, the sir that ran the reception during the night, was simply incredible! Over the few days (3 nights) we've spent there, he has always been super helpful, even beyond common expectations. Always smiling, joking, trying to give us tips and asking how our day has been. If I were the hotel's manager, I'd give the guy a raise! He provided us with a map of Vila Seca, brochures of the Porta Aventura theme park and even showed us around the main room, all while speaking fluent english, as well as spanish.

Aside from the night time receptionist, the lady in the morning was also cheerful, and gladly helped us get a cab to the near amusement park (As the operators at the line did not speek English, which to me, is a bit weird, but whatever)

The hotel itself features roughly ten stories of rooms. Our was situated on the first floor which was a little disappointing, but nevertheless, at least we did not have to use the elevator every time.

Coming to the room, we were greeted with the single little thing that I didn't like at this hotel - For some reason, the whole room smelled of fish. Later, I discovered that that was probably thanks to the previous people who seemed to have stored fish produce in the provided mini-fridge that simply reeked of the stuff.

The room itself was more than enough spacious, with a single queen-sized double-bed, three pillows and a thin sheet that served as a blanket during the hot seasons.

Next, the room contained a wide table, a single average-sized Samsung TV with a broad selection of programs in different languages (Some of which were Spanish, English, Russian, Italian, French, German), and a kettle, as well as a little assortment of coffee and tea.

The only other major thing in the main bedroom was the wardrobe, that contained a digital safe to secure one's priceful posessions.

And a last nice little benefit were the light switches right above the night tables, that let one easily switch off the main room light from the comfort of bed.

Then, the other room was, of course, the bathroom.

In our case, it contained a sink with some basic amenities (Shower gel, shampoo and a block of soap), and a bathtub with a small glass panel to shield the spraying water in case you wanted to only take a shower.

That being the room, the only other thing I can talk about were the breakfasts. I bought one only on the last day, when we were leaving, and oh my, they did surprise me! One could choose from a wide assortments of fruit, bread, butter, jam, chocolate, sweet pastries as well as warm dishes (the names of which I do not know), and finish it with a glass of nice, cold fruit juice (Orange, multi-vitamin or pineapple) or a coffee.

Overall, I'd give this hotel a well deserved 10/10, coming off-season meant the price was great, and I think we got more than the expected value for our money back!
