“Very nice for 3 stars, average for 4 stars”

2/2 found this review helpful

I've stayed here three times in the past two years, a few days each time, the most recent being November 2006. I enjoy coming back again: the hotel is on par with many four star hotels in nearby Barcelona, although not with the nicest of those.

Location is central, but sub-optimal. Placa Imperial Tarraco is at the "wrong" end of Rambla Nova, the main artery of the city. It is still walking distance from the old city and the beach, but it can take some 20 minutes. The area is safe and there are plenty of bars and restaurants around. The main (intercity) bus station is in the same building, and a taxi stand is across the street.

Rooms are nice and reasonably spacious, with one queen or two twin beds (even single rooms), a small desk and a nice wardrobe. They are very clean and are made every day. Windows are soundproof so in spite of the central location, the rooms are not noisy. There's individually controlled heating and air conditioning. The bathron is spacious and amenities are nice. Huge towels and good water pressure.

Breakfast is a feast, with fresh fruit, cheese, meats, cereals, breads and pastries, eggs etc. Enough to keep me for the day.

Service is erratic: the reception people are usually very friendly, speak reasonable English but are sometimes uninformed. Wake up calls can be 10 minutes early or forgotten altogether.

All in all, a nice nondescript hotel, very consistent quality, no surprises.

“nice hotel / room.... shame about pool and A/C”

Ciutat de Tarragona Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Guildford, United Kingdom

1/1 found this review helpful

Good location for walking around the Roman remains....beach across the railway line !
We paid for extra room with late check out which is good if you have a late flight .
On our first night, we ate in the hotel restaurant and the food and service was great....highly recommended.

BUT the roof pool in this hotel is TINY.....about the size of a large Jacuzzi ! You wouldn't want to be in a huge party hoping for some pool fun / exercise ! Definately no room to swing the proverbial cat !!
Also, we were given an extra card key to leave in the room slot so the air conditioning would stay on while we were out........but, the air conditioning is firstly, ineffective (rooms were hot and uncomfortable at night ruining any sleep to recouperate from an exhausting sight seeing day) and secondly, while were out on the second day, the room maid kindly turned it off !!
Not sure why !!!!

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, paying about €80 per night B&B. It's a large modern hotel that's centrally located. Our room was very well equipped, spacious and spotless. Staff were friendly and helpful and spoke excellent english. The breakfast buffet was excellent. We would be very happy to stay again.

“city centre hotel”

Ciutat de Tarragona Hotel

Sep 3, 2005
6/6 found this review helpful

Good city centre location although car park hard to find (approx 12 euros per day). Rooms clean but compact. Breakfast good choice. On the minus side fairly noisy due to location (by roundabout). Very small roof top pool, more like jacuzzi. Very small gym. Bar expensive. The staff very helpful. Would use this hotel for an overnight stay only as lacking in facilities. Then again only cost me £35.00 per room.
