Catalonia Giralda

Positive: - Room was nice, not too spacious, but with a comfortable king bed and a single bet for our daughter. Pillows were super nice. - Room had all the amenities, including coffee machine, small fridge and tea. - Bathroom was nice with great amenities, but the hair dryer was terrible (would work for 2 minutes ant heat up). - Our room had a small terrace, which was also nice. - Staff was nice, specially the downstairs bar staff. - Hotel has a small indoor pool, but yet a nice pool. - Breakfast was super good, with lot of options, fresh fruit and fresh orange juice. in the weekends, breakfast was served until 11am, which is also nice if you plan on sleeping in. - In our perspective location was good. Hotel is in the “edge” of the old city, but still easy to access by car (main reason why we found location good). All the main attractions were walkable (15 min). We had our 5 year old and a stroller, so all was good. Negative: - Parking was VERY tight, and was located behind the hotel. Was easy to access, but I cannot emphasize how tight it was. Cost was 20 euro/day. All and all was still worth it for us, but just giving a heads up. - Bathroom was nice, but 2 things bothered us A LOT: really bad hair dryer (would work for 2 minutes ant heat up and turn off) and the shower was super dark at night - super super dark. - location was good (see above), but the surroundings did not feel super safe at night. - Our stay was nice, but overall for the price we paid (300/night + parking), I believe there may be better options at this price range. If price was a bit lower around (200/night), I think it would be an option.

Excellent stay at Catalonia Giralda, short walk from the station and around 30 min walk to the main city centre. Welcoming staff, excellent facilities to use such as the gym, the bar and the pool. Room was a lovely size for us, and we had a balcony which we didn't ask for so was a surprise treat. Not much of a view but was nice to sit out there for a drink or two. The breakfast was great, a varied selection of cold and hot food. There's nothing to fault the hotel, if I was to be picky I could say the pool could be slightly bigger. But that's just me finding something to say. The complimentary drinks coupon was a nice touch. Thank you for a lovely stay.
