“Nice Hotel in an excellent location”

Hotel Lauria

My wife and I stayed at The Lauria for 4 nights for a total cost of 200 Euros. The room was a good size with a pleasant balcony overlooking the small pool. The staff were very friendly, room was cleaned to a good standard and breakfast was continental style, as one would expect. The location is excellent for the old town and shopping. Being November the beach was not on our list of priorities.
The only down side is the lack of noise insulation. We were woken during the early hours by neighbours returning to their rooms, conversations from the room above could easily be overheard as could televisions etc. Maybe we were unlucky, but the Spanish do like to be out late, especially at a weekend.
One other problem is car parking. We had a hire car and the 4 days parking in the underground car park outside the hotel was over 100 Euro -which was more than our flights to Barcelona. Free street parking is impossible. This was the closest car park and the most expensive but I am told that there are cheaper ones if you are prepared to walk to your car each day.
The train station is close by, although it is a bit of a climb back to the hotel. However, at 2.80 Euros return to Salou it is cheaper then paying for a bus or petrol.

This hotel is in the very center of Tarragona, 5 minutes walk from the old town and 2 minutes walk to the view of the sea. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the nearest beach. Overall this hotel is very good value and ideal for people who want a central average hotel to spend time at the beach and in the city. It is a basic hotel but very clean. Beware the breakfast is not great but a few doors away there are plenty of cafes. There is also a small pool in the hotel but the beaches are much nicer!

“Cheap, clean, great location”

The hotel is quite dated, but the position of the hotel is great, the town is lovely, and the staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was extremely clean and air conditioned (not noisy). Free internet access, although be prepared to wait as it's quite popular. Pool area was lovely to sit in and enjoy the quiet. Beach down the road. Central Barcelona an hour away by train (get out one stop after central station).

Clean, comfortable, nice staff, loud AC, but drinks from the bar were available all night! Rooms had balconies - which we found was actually quite rare. Pool looked nice. Tarragona lovely. It was basic but spotlessly clean - so what more can you ask for?

Agree with most of the comments in previous reviews.

Hotel has a slightly 70s feel, but is not shabby! Pool and outside seating area gives it a real holiday feel.

Location is superb - short walk from railway station (beware of the steps) and 200m from the "balcony of the meditteranean" - superb views and great ice-cream from the many gelateria nearby.

Room was a good size, very clean, cool parquet flooring, lots of wood - and a balcony - from which there was a view of the med.!
Air con worked well. No real problems with noise.

Bathroom was spacious, had a full bath and shower and was also extremely clean.

We took breakfast one morning and it was fairly average, but quite acceptable.

Staff were helpful, courteous and mostly spoke reasonable English.

For the 80 euro a night we paid, this hotel makes for a very good base from which to explore this lovely Spanish city.
