Hotel Estelou

We had booked a garden room expecting the room to be sizeable given that it was more expensive than the other rooms. We were very disappointed with how small and dark the room was with nowhere to unpack anything apart from five coathangers on a rail with a shelf below.

After that, I had to hold it in one hand while I washed myself with the other, as that was the only way to actually get the water onto my body! The breakfast was a rip-off at €18, for which you got a glass of juice, croissant, yoghurt, cheese, piece of watermelon and a choice of two cereals. We were the only ones having breakfast on the day we decided to eat in and found it much more preferable and better value to walk into town and buy a freshly squeezed out glass of orange juice, croissant and coffee there. My sister was staying in an upstairs twin room with an ensuite bathroom which had a bath with a better height shower and was much lighter and sunnier so would recommend that instead of the downstairs ground floor one we were in . The location was very good as it was right on the cycle track laid over the disused railway line and was a five minute walk along the road to the town centre.

The location is lovely. Unfortunately the rooms are tiny. For an additional Euro 14, we got a poor breakfast: no decent coffee, no eggs (except for an additional Euro 2.60 per egg), poor quality products. Dogs cost an additional Euro 13, an extra bed was charged with another Euro 21 - a disappointent
