Find the Cheap Alt Camp Hotels

Located a brisk 15-min walk from the centre and station, this modern, clean and friendly hotel was a delight. Typical rooms for this type of hotel with very large beds, all maintained to a high standard. Yes it neighbours a dual carriageway beyond which is an industrial estate, which features a large Kellogg's factory so hardly heavy industry and during our stay it was not an issue. Rooms have air con, so no need to open the window. Friendly staff, welcoming bar and a restaurant which delivered a good breakfast and an evening meal much better than those in the equivalent UK hotel

The beautiful old buildings that make up the hotel are in the most picture perfect village of Altafulla and our expectations were v high for our little Spa Break. First Impressions : our suite was basic, lacking in any personality or chic soft furnishing touches. It felt very cold, clinical and like an unloved basic air b n b not a supposed 4 star historic hotel. The living area was also super dark, no real amenities in the bathroom besides nailed to the wall shower gel / shampoo. No luxe touches at all, no mini bar, coffee maker… nothing that I’ve come to expect from a European 4 star hotel. The lovely Italian male receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful tho he moved us almost immediately and continued to help us throughout our stay despite our issues so 5 stars for him. The housekeeping staff was also lovely and our waitress in the super fancy resto. Here are the list of issues that the hotel need to address: - Sinks are still shallow the water just splashes back at you. V much style over practicality - only 1 bathmat in a room for 2 people - grill in shower came off and moved around - no rug , no paintings/ photos/ no coffee machine or kettle / no mini bar - no room service - no tissues / cotton buds / body lotion / conditioner - safe was not working I had reserved spa slots and massages n advance but when we arrived the Spa is NOT a spa it’s a tiny facility with a v small jacuzzi type pool big enough for 4 people and another tiny plunge pool all in a very confined space which feels claustrophobic with more than 2 or 3 people in. The sauna is tiny as is the steam room which was not even working. Never mind we thought we will brave the cold and go for a lovely outdoor swim … another reason we choose this hotel as according to the website the pool would be open, it was not ! It was being dosed with chlorine and we were not allowed in. The spa had double booked our massages and in fact they could only accommodate one of us the following day and the therapist was one hour late as her car had broken down and when she did arrive made no apology, made my friend wait until she’d had a coffee and then administered a very poor massage with next to no pressure despite being asked several times to go harder. She didn’t ask any health questions about allergies or injuries …. Shockingly poor ! The dinner at the restaurant was v good if a little fancier that what we fancied but the pizza resto wasn’t open. The lighting in the restaurant v bright and lacking ambience as a result. The winery trip was interesting and the village is fabulous with a couple of great bars and restos and an amazing deli. It’s a shame about the hotel as it could be spectacular if the management spent some money on some tweaks that would make a world of difference to the guest experience. A good interior designer could help to warm up and personalise the gorgeous old buildings

Stayed one night for flight next day from Reus airport. Staff fantastic shout out to the female receptionist on shift Saturday pm( 29th july) she came into restaurant and explained the whole menu to us in English a very time consuming job but was brilliant and added humour ! The gentleman on reception was also very nice too they both got the boarding passes printed for us. I have to also say the lady waiting our table was so lovely bless her we all struggled with the language barrier and got by on Google translate. The food was amazing 18 euros for 3 courses and a drink of whatever we wanted! We did get a discount voucher on reception for a cocktail but we were exhausted and had an early morning flight. Breakfast plenty of choices including meats cheeses scrambled eggs, streaky bacon, fruits, toast croissants and pastries! The pool was lovely despite being busy at first we waited a couple of hours till 2 pm and all 6 of us got a sunbed each which we had for just over an hour and a half then more came so we left to give others sunbeds. The location is lovely but the hills my dad did struggle with as it was very hot too. The cafe at the bottom or the road ( not in the hotel) woman was awful we asked for lunch as it advertised sandwiches drinks and cakes but when we asked she said we close at 2pm and it was 12.50? A but annoying since the only cafe we could find! My daughter didn’t fancy the lunchtime menu at the hotel and we only wanted a sandwich. We landed up using a spar across the road which was huge and we got bread, ham, salads drinks etc there then had a picnic surrounded by beautiful scenery! Overall good stay to be had. I would suggest a kettle in the room would make all the difference but we did get a couple of coffees from the cafe area. Recommend for airport run also as it’s not too far cost about 30 euros for a large people carrier and 5 cases 6 people.
