A Parador in a Castle

Reviewed By sarah_3YJ123

This parador is special as it is in a castle. We were given a room on the top floor and enjoyed unblocked view of the town and beyond. Room is very well-maintained and spacious. This parador is one of the busiest of our six paradors stay as there are always guided castle tours happening and casual visitors in the castle. I would recommend for a stay here to have the experience of staying in a castle.

View of the Monastery

Reviewed By nicholasfI7659MO

The experience which sticks most in our memories is nearly losing our passports; they fell out of a pocket, while we were leaving. Luckily the lady who checked us out spotted this and brought these to our car. That stands for all our contacts with Hotel Mon's staff; alert, helpful, efficient and friendly. Also fluent English speakers. The gin and tonics we enjoyed in the superbly designed lounge overlooking the monastery are the next most memorable items: never have we seen such large/heavy goblets, containing about twice the normal contents. Only one of those necessary before dinner. Both dinner and breakfast were very good: for breakfast, full marks for frying eggs to order, and providing freshly squeezed orange juice and Cava. The standards are very high in this hotel, as shown by the care and attention, and training of the staff. Just a couple of niggles; the restaurant was not open at lunchtime, and we couldn't get a twin room with an easy to access shower; we were offered such a room, but it was fully equipped for mobility impaired guests, which we didn't need/want. The shower in the bath was what we got instead. In praise of the room, it was modern, spacious and comfortable: plenty of wardrobe space.

Urbi Manresa Apartments

Avoid! Dirty, mid-sold and car broken into!

Reviewed By jaynim

We were mis-sold the apartment. We booked and paid for a room with a washing machine and a toaster. Unfortunately these had been removed from the room. I mentioned it to the reception staff but they were unable to help and said that they could do something the following day, but we were checking out at 8am and needed to wash our clothes the night before. This was a real inconvenience as we had booked the apartment especially for this reason. We were also told that there was unreserved parking, however, on arrival all of the car parks were full ‘complet’! The only place that we could find a space was a five minute walk away. We parked the car at midnight and when we returned just after 9am to get it our car had been towed away by the police 1) because someone had broken into the car, although fortunately nothing stolen, just riffled through and 2) because it was restricted parking (we do not speak Spanish, so did not know about any restrictions) and thought that the car would be safe overnight, especially as there were other cars in the street parked all the way along - these didn’t get towed away or fined tho!...we did wonder whether we had been targeted because we had a car hire sticker on the back of the car, and therefore deemed as a target?!). I asked reception if this happened often and explained that we should have been warned and we were told that even the cars that park outside the apartments get fined sometimes! We clearly said on our form that we were travelling by car, so there should have been a warning about this! If the car Park was not full then we would not have had this problem (we did not Pre-Book as the booking form said that reservation was not needed!!). We were really disappointed with the room. There were bare wires, the shower had mould/mildew on it, the windows were dirty and the floor clearly hadn’t been cleaned - our feet were covered in dust and dirt from walking around the room (we always take our shoes off at the door), the taps were dirty and covered in grime, the shower did not drain (must have been clogged from hair?), there were knives missing, plates/bowls and glasses were chipped, the walls and windows were dirty, the shower fitting was hanging off, the sofa bed had stains on it, and there were no fire regulations in the apartment in the event of a fire. The fittings were cheap and the curtains were so thin that they let light in. I have taken photos of all of the above as proof. I tried to resolve my complaint with the management once I returned from our four week trip travelling around Andorra, Spain and France, however, they have not been helpful and it has fallen on deaf ears. It is against the law to charge someone for a facility that you do not get! My advice - avoid!! I would hate for anyone to have the unfortunate experience that we had! I couldn’t wait to check-out of the place and feel clean again!

L'Hotelet Manresa - Casa Padro

The first boutique hotel in the center of Manresa. The central and modernist Casa Padró-Riera (1914), located just in the corner between Passeig Pere III, number 38 and Àngel Guimerà street, lodges the first hotel boutique in the capital of El Bages. The house has been restored, preserving its own architectural elements, such as adorned ceilings and terraces with hydraulic tiles, in order to house a cozy hotel in front of the emblematic Kursaal Theater and the Casino de Manresa. The HOTELET has 7 rooms; all of them with a King size bed (2x2), intelligent television, full bathroom, balcony and / or terrace, full fridge, free Wi-Fi and natural light. In order that all guests feel like at home in this new hotel establishment, we priorize our high quality and costumer service and we adapt ourselves to all needs.

Excellent, can't wait to go back!

Reviewed By Ilse S

Everything they say in their specs is correct, this is a top class boutique hotel. Rated 2 stars officially, I would rate it 4 stars. Friendly efficient check in, with a cup of coffee or cava offered. Beautiful common room with free tea or coffee (Nespresso) and lovely big room. I was in room 1. Great shampoo and stuff Rituals brand, great rainshower. Comfortable big bed. Everything top. Cheap rate parking close by, just around the corner, I paid 12 euro. Lots of nice restaurants close by. Very good breakfast, eggs made to your liking on simple demand. I cannot wait to go again when I am next in the area, or before I catch a flight back out of Barcelona airport, one hour drive away.

Hôtel très correct, idéalement situé pour profiter du lieu tranquillement. Possibilité de faire plein de randonnées autour. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec beaucoup de rangements. La vue sur le monastère et le paysage autour est agréable. Possibilité de garer la voiture sur le parking du monastère 6.50€ les 24h. Si on a beaucoup de bagages on peut amener la voiture jusque devant l'hôtel (la personne qui filtre les entrées est gentille et compréhensive) . L'enregistrement se fait à l'hôtel sous le monastère et le petit déjeuner se prend a la cafétéria. L'hôtel dispose d'une cuisine avec four MO et salle à manger a disposition si on le souhaite

Airy rooms, friendly people, good food

Reviewed By Anionfan

Had a couple of nights here on business; room was spacious, as long as you like it open plan - no walls between the spa bath and the bed. Entrance porch is cold, though goes into a warm room, all open plan and tiled floors. Doors on to a small patio area, which one hopes the brickwork will be finished, and the pigeon poop washed away before spring. The curtains aren't up to much, they don't meet in the middle, or the edges, and there's a big security light outside, so if you like the dark, you'll need eyeshades. And pulling them away form the walls is going to expose some rather nasty damp patches. Big car park, just off the dual carriageway, didnt see the pool.

Nice spot - a little dated

Reviewed By Dodger52

The hotel is located in in the old section of Cardona. It seems a little run down. There was no kettle or coffee making facilities. The lighting in the room was very poor. The air conditioning is centrally controlled, not able to change per room requirements. The room key was very large, not easy to lose. However the room was very large with a good shower. The free WiFi was good. Breakfast was wonderful. The staff were very friendly.

Top notch motel, modern, quiet, clean

Reviewed By jfnelson61

I like this hotel and restaurant. It's clean, tidy, modern, well kept and reasonably priced. It's not a vacation hotel/resort, more like a motel. Easy to get to, and it has its own parking. The restaurant serves excellent dinners, the menu has some nice Catalonian specialties, good house wine. I stayed here last year for Rider1000 (a motorcycle event) and again this year, it was great to park the bike, sit back and have a beer on the terrace before dinner. It's set well back from the road so it's peaceful and quiet.

Only worth the view, overpriced, bad service and lousy food

Reviewed By Martine K

The reviews for this were amazing so we booked it for a wedding. The place itself is amazing, the views are breathtaking, but the service and the food selection is terrible... The place is a rustic retreat in the mountains so a lot of uncomfortable stairs, uneven floors, gravel everywhere. We arrived for a family weekend and had booked the full hotel. I had to drag my suitcase in these stairs myself, the hotel does not provide this... The hotel provides room cleaning between 9 and 12, if you're in the room during that time, too bad . .no service is provided although you pay 236 euro per night... But the worst is the food selection... we booked a brunch for 60 people, they provided tomato salad, cut avocados, omelette, 1 selection of salami and1 white cold sausage, some cereals and jam....that was the whole brunch... The girl at reception wass arrogant, lazy and couldn't care less. . A bad experience, so glad we booked an outdoor catering witch was actually amazing and in stark contrast with the lousy selection of the hotel. Conclusion, if you are a hopeless lover of mountain views, you will love the views, just don't expect anything else
