The hotel is good, it is worth choosing even just because of its location, everything is close to shops and the sea, a recreation area, a bus and railway station. The hotel is very simple without its own territory and pool, but believe me, given its location, this is not necessary. The rooms are also very simple but quite spacious, the air conditioning worked fine, although it was rarely turned on, you don’t need to leave a deposit for the remote control. The safe was not rented, nothing was missing from the room. Cleaned well every day changed towels, bed linen changed every three days. We lived on the second floor, every night it seemed that you were sleeping on the street, every day around 4-5 in the morning young people returned from discos, there were screams and songs and fights... a complete set, but this situation is everywhere, even in the central part much worse. The hotel staff is very polite and friendly. I advise you to rent a bike and ride along the sea, there are bike paths everywhere, it's a real pleasure. There is a tourist center nearby, where you can get a lot of useful information.
The main disadvantage of the hotel is the food. We took half board. There is practically nothing for breakfast, 3-4 types of buns, muesli toasts, jams, fruits, from hot or scrambled eggs or sausages every other day, you can still eat it for a week, but by the end of the second it was already climbing and ears. At dinner, each room has its own table, it will be fixed permanently. There is a menu in Russian, very funny, you won’t understand what they will actually bring to you, they ordered at random. The first dish is something liquid, the second and third 2 are fully hot with meat and fish. I can’t say that everything is very tasty, something more, something less, quite worthy, dessert and fruits are a buffet. Drinks at dinner are paid, wine prices are quite reasonable. The wine remaining after dinner is signed and closed, and the next day for dinner it will be waiting for you on the table. If, due to excursions, we did not get dinner, it could be changed for lunch on another day.
Although, we went on vacation with Natalie tour, we bought excursions in bas plana, the prices are 2 times lower, and the quality of the excursions is very good. When for some unknown reason the fountain in Barcelona did not turn on (they said it was the first time), bas plana gave tickets for another tour for free, although it was not their fault at all. If you plan to visit nearby cities or travel around Salou by bus, then it is advantageous to take a card for 10 trips, it can be used by two. The sea and the weather were perfect. What do you want. Enjoy your holiday and don't worry about the little things.
