Checkin Blanes

Very nice hotel with spectacular roomview on the sea. The people at the hotel are very friendly and helpful we made friends with some of them in the restaurant and reception. The hotel is in walking distance to the beach. We had a very enjoyable experience and certainly think to go back in the future

The location for family trip with a quick slide to the beach is great . Good dinning option, the hotel included, and quiet area

I have just returned from spending 10 days at this holiday. It was a budget price and was actually better than I expected . I had read the previous reviews and literally kept my beady eyes open for these mentioned refugees and honestly I don’t know where they were !!. It is outdated but it was expected for the amount paid . PROS The food my husband and I really enjoyed , we were expecting to have to eat out but did not need to once. There was plenty of choice at every meal time . The tables were always made up , and there were not big queues . It’s true food was labelled only with chicken / beef etc and if you have food allergies it would be hard to eat here . It’s true the food could be hotter but not always . On the whole I recommend eating here . Location great as has been said previously. Standard of cleaning I felt was great. Our room was cleaned daily. Free air con and free Wi-Fi Road train a minute walk from hotel was great to get into Blanes ( don’t forget the market on Monday morning) and to visit the gardens. Reception and all staff we found to be helpful. Bed was OK. Cons The beach is gritty , the sea on some days was tricky to get in and out of due to the strong waves . Not the best sea if you have kids I would imagine. Walls are thin. There is only one plug socket ( take an extension lead). We didn’t really want nightlife but if you do you would be disappointed.

Went there 2nd September 2022 and stayed a week. It was good a nice hotel me and my boyfriend stayed the location is hood next to beach and near town and loads of shops every corner. Food was okay we got breakfast and dinner and it was okay but was horrible but was simple. Overall it was a good stay and enjoye the time staff was very helpful and also it is about 20 minute walk to train I think cannot remember. But it was a good stay. Also just to note when we were there they did have Ukrainian refugees which was nice to know as I am Ukrainian and you will find kids sitting in the lounge but are behaved

Old hotel. Service level is also old. Not coming back.

I wouldn't recommend any person to stay at this hotel as a paying guest your treated like second class guest The top guests are refugees that are staying there paid for by the Red cross all week we had to put up with the death stare from groups of them and the children just let loose by themselves in the restaurant and all over the hotel none of them showed any respect to paying guests we felt more like intruders in their hotel and of course they have all the best rooms!This is a honest review we came to this hotel back in 2019 when it was the boximar and owned by a lovely family since then it now belongs to the check in group and it's lost everything that made this hotel worth our second visit but Never Again it's one to AVOID!!Blanes it's self is a lovely place just pick another hotel and make sure it's not full of disrespectful refugees

Hotel is a little tired in places but staff friendly breakfast is good and short walk to beach .But there are Refugees in the hotel that have no respect been in hotel for months and think they own the place . The children are like wild animals intimidating and disrespectful had to report them to reception several time for jumping on you when in pool ,kicking football in pool area and a shoe hitting me in head at pool side no parents around .In the end hotel got Red Cross representative in to try to calm them down.Won't hold my breath !!

I was part of a party of 40 arriving to stay for 7 nights at this hotel, however when we arrived I was informed that our entire party were going to have to stay at another hotel for two nights and then move back. Disappointing start and an inconvenience as the party were not there on holiday. Even more frustrating as the booking was confirmed and checked in advance. I was fortunate in that I didn't have to move as they had one room available. The rest of the party moved for two nights but then moved back. The Hotel Director was very accommodating but probably as the mix up was their fault. The hotel is well situated near to the beach and a short walk to a variety of restaurants. The Reception area is modern and I cannot fault the reception staff as they were friendly helpful and obliging. The bedrooms and main hotel area are really clean and there are safes inside the room however there in ends my positive comments For a hotel of this size with 10 floors the two antiquated and slow lifts are not ideal. Similarly the car park is very compact and can only support 5 or 6 cars tightly. The bedrooms are in desperate need of an update. There is only one plug socket which in the current technological era is insufficient for one person let alone 2. There are no fridges or kettles. I had to have cold showers for the first two mornings, then established I had to wait for the water to warm up but then the flow of water is poor if you're on the 10th floor and is more of a trickle. The air-conditioning is an old unit which you have to plug in but is too noisy to leave on overnight so has to be unplugged. The electricity in the room is powered by putting the key fob in a slot on the wall which is not a problem unless in the hours of darkness when you lose power to lock / unlock the door. The restaurant is in need of repair as a number of the chairs are dirty and broken with the padded seating sunken. You also need to clear your own plates away. Then there is the food......... the breakfast is a buffet style, is not too bad and you can usually find something to suit yourself. Our group were booked for bed and breakfast for the duration of the stay together with a number of other large groups. The food for the evening meal was again buffet style but despite their appearing to be a variety of options available which would usually suit most tastes the food which should be hot was cold and inedible. This resulted in a number of us having to go and eat out after a few evenings of trying to find something to eat. Disappointingly we had prearranged for breakfast to be served from 0700hours as the usual 0800 was too late for our competition timetable, however the restaurant was managed by a mature lady who has to be the rudest, most unhelpful and unprofessional person I have ever met. She clearly wasn't happy about having to open earlier to accommodate us which resulted in her being more rude than usual. For a couple of morning I had to order picnic bags to take wit
