Blanes hotellia

Plussat: Staff courtesy. Location, cleaness of the room. Good quality price / service.

Plussat: Perfect

Miinukset: We liked everything

Plussat: Location, staff, breakfast, location, shower had been re-done

Miinukset: Noisy, could hear the other rooms. That is common in Europe. Air conditioner works but very loud!

Plussat: We stayed 10 days in the Junior Suite. It was spacious, always kept clean, had a great view, the bed was extra wide and firm, and there was even a chest of drawers for our clothes. The bathroom was huge with a lovely shower. The breakfast room overlooked the sea front. We were spoiled for choice with everything for breakfast from smoked salmon to a variety of fresh breads, cheeses, fruits, pastries. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Miinukset: The gym was tiny. The lift, which was computerised, had a mind of its own, especially when going to the 6th floor.

Plussat: Helpful and polite staff

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Very comfortable room overlooking the ocean, with balcony. Everything was clean and worked well. I was surprised at how abundant and varied the breakfast was. What really surpassed my expectations were the staff: they were all welcoming, friendly, helpful, and definitely went above and beyond. I look forward to when I get a chance to return to Blanes and stay at Hotel Horitzó again!

Plussat: I have stayed a few times before and will stay when i return to Blanes it is an excellent hotel. The staff are very good very clean hotel good location very good breakfast just a great hotel.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: Slight noise from music in the restaurant, morning and evening.

Plussat: Breakfast was lovely. i do not know the name of the waiter at breakfast but he was such a lovely person, very attentive and great with omelettes! - overlooking the beach every morning, fantastic!

Plussat: Everything was great and the attention from the staff was amazing

Plussat: The staff was wonderful and the hostel is 3 minutes from the beach.

Miinukset: I would like air conditioning in the room.

Plussat: Wonderful experience! Helpful and kind staff

Miinukset: It was all great. I am very happy

Plussat: Service was friendly

Plussat: Staff very friendly and open. For the price I paid I got more than expected. The patio is a little heaven on earth.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Simple rooms, lovely hosts and very good location.

Plussat: The room was of a good size and clean. The mattress was comfortable for us, on the hard side. Location was excellent, just a few minutes from the beach and the city centre. Staff was friendly.

Miinukset: Since the room was just above the main entrance we were woken up at 7am by second hand smoke coming through the window. No a/c means you need to keep the window open. You can hear noise from the street at night. However, the hotel itself was quiet.

Plussat: Everything was good especially the staff were very helpfull.

Miinukset: Very nice little place ideal for few days.all was good.

Plussat: Excellent location, extremely helpful staff, fantastic breakfast and amazing value for money ! Thank you !

Plussat: Proximity to the beach and local bars. There was a fan provided as I’d read about no air con in rooms

Miinukset: Quite a trek from the bus station possibly a bit more information is required by the hostel/hotel as there is a stop closer. A few more power points in the room possibly as one in room is awkward as it has a light switch next to it and other in bathroom.

Plussat: Plenty to choose from .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent standard of rooms - fab location

Miinukset: Lifts were v hot - going to floor 7 could do wi a fan or air conditioning in them!

Plussat: The hotel is quite clean and not far from the beach.

Miinukset: Almost the same dishes every day, no diversity. A lot of fried food, a lot of mayonnaise in the salads, a very poor choice of healthy products, especially at the breakfast, no special food for diabetics, gluten free or baby food. Fruits and vegetables often had a strange salty taste, the salad had a lot of water on it that gave it an unpleasant taste. The soups were usually inedible. There was, literary, no any entertainment for children, except a small playground. The children's pool was very dirty, there were often swimming a lot of insects and leaves. When we booked a visit at the Spa Center of the hotel, we were not informed that we cannot go there together with our daughter after 15:00, even if we've specified that she'll go with us. So, that when the time of our booking arrived, we were not let in. A very unpleasant experience. After a couple of years of gorgeous vacations in Turkey, at approx. the same price, we remained extremely disappointed of the hotel service in Spain.

Plussat: Very nice place. Clean and quiet. Food is very good. Would be nice to have a bit wider choice of vegetables: we’ve got only cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce...

Plussat: The reception staff were so helpful and so patient with us, everything we asked for they sorted. They are a credit to the hotel

Miinukset: The restaurant wasn’t great, the food was ok but one of the staff was quite rude when we accidentally sat at the wrong table. Even though they all looked the same

Plussat: Beds at pool always available

Miinukset: Alot of running around at breakfast. Glasses not beside juice. Cutlery all over the place

Plussat: Location is the hotel was excellent. Staff were very friendly.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Food was good in terms of variety and taste.

Miinukset: Food could have been hotter and felt dining room was exceptionally busy

Plussat: Fabulous beds and pillows.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: This is a superb seafront location and well worth upgrading to a room overlooking the sea, 15euros per night. Great food variety in the small and sometimes busy restaurant and all staff were found to be friendly and accommodating. Good sized bar with local entertainment thrown in a few night a week. We met many couples who return year after year. Great for elderly couples.

Miinukset: The rooms are very clean but are not spacious. The restaurant is quite small and there were sometimes queues at meal times. If you do not like the noise of evening entertainment a higher floor would probably suit you.

Plussat: We arrived too late for the evening meal and were immediately offered lunch the next day. The secure parking was excellent although a tad expensive and it tested the turning circle of our 4x4 . The food was of a good quality, although a croissant or two appeared to be not as fresh as could be, but the quality and choice at all meals was excellent. The restaurant manager ensured the smooth running of quite a small dining space. The room was a reasonable size & clean.

Miinukset: Queuing outside the restaurant for more than 10 mins while waiting for a table, the queue got even longer while we waited. The tv in the room was not well placed for both of us to see from our bed.

Miinukset: Size of room

Plussat: The breakfast and evening meal were excellent, a wide choice of all meals. The staff were very helpful and always on hand to deal with any problems. The rooms were spacious and clean. The entertainment was good. The only thing was it went on until one a clock in the morning, which is not so good when you are older. Would definitely stay again.

Plussat: Family room was big, food was good, beach across street, small gym, pool and hot tub, small balcony in room.

Miinukset: Fridge was not cold

Plussat: Staff excellent and hotel excellent and very nicely situated.

Miinukset: All was great

Plussat: The location is the best!!!

Plussat: We are returning visitors and the staff recognise us and make a fuss of us.the hotel is in a perfect location.

Plussat: I loved the hotel, great location. The beach is beautiful and it’s spacey in the family room. The hotel was so clean, and cleaned daily by kind women. The front desk is extremely helpful and spoke English perfectly. The beach is across the street and was so convenient. I loved everything about this location.

Miinukset: There is no microwave in the room if you are trying to save money for food options. However, the location has plenty of food around.

Plussat: Staff were rather rude and unhelpful

Miinukset: staff attitude

Plussat: Very close to the bus station and a big supermarket and not far from the beach, no discotheques in the vicinity. The room had everything I needed.

Miinukset: Water temperature in the shower kept changing - weird but bearable. I had to ask twice for the cleaning to be done a bit ahaed of schedule.

Plussat: Not in the city center and at the beachside, but close enough. A nice and quiet swimming pool.

Plussat: I stayed on half board, the food was very good and a wide selection, the location was good and quiet. Location good for bus travel, the train station is not within walking distance, but the bus service to and from it are good. I would use this hotel again.

Miinukset: Nil of note,

Plussat: Staff very helpful, provided me with a packed lunch as I was leaving very early. Second time I’ve stayed and will come again.

Miinukset: No boiling/hot water at the breakfast bar. Unless I missed it, but did look hard. There was no price list at the hotel bar, it was easier to just go across the road to a bar for a drink, as I didn’t know how much I would be charged. It’s not a compliant, it’s just a hint.

Plussat: Overall not bad. Location is good, not far from beach area.

Miinukset: The parking cost 15 eur.

Plussat: It was really great to stay 1 night, just had a problem with the blanket on the bed... I had a bad allergy because of dust.

Plussat: The hotel was excellent with very friendly staff we enjoy our stay and would definitely come and stay again and they was no rushing to get a sun bed on a morning some days we had the pool all to ourselves would recommend this hotel to anyone

Plussat: Family ran hotel. The room is clean and modern and the staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated very close to the beach.

Miinukset: Close to rowdy bars area

Plussat: Great location and the rooms were big, clean and comfortable.

Plussat: The best location you can find in Blanos at such a price. Sea view from the balcony. Sea in 50 meters from the door. A lot of space in the appartments (we have 3 rooms. 5 beds, a oilet and a kitchen + balcony. Big refrigirator. Food Store are quite near (1-1,5 km) Blanes is the first place on Costa Brava there railway is not run along the shore and you can enjoy the sea 50 m from your balcony. All appartments rooms were full with families with small and adult childrens. Good place for Families to stay.

Miinukset: There is no conditioner in the appartments. You need to open all the windows to avoid heat. High audibility. You listen everything from your neighbours rooms. and from the bus stop just bellow your window. But sea view compensates it all. Very very old furniture in the appartments, especially in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Oven in the kitchen was so old that we didn't manage to heat a pizza even. No way to prepare any food with oven. You have a pot+ frying pan to cook as well as to prepare a tea as there is no kettle either. Knifes are blunt. There 2 hooks but no rope (clothesline) to dry the clothes on the balcony, why not to install it permanently? Bed sheets change and cleaning are made by sundays once a week. Cleaning doesn't include floor washing. There is no sand on the shore but very small stones. The sea is deep just 2 meters beyond the shore. Not very suitable for the children. Quite hard to lay - take a carpet and own sun umbrella. Very bad food quality and cosmic prices (25 Euro minimum per person) in the restaurants. We recommend to everybody to go to Mercadonna up to the hill (1.5 km) or to Consum (more expensive) 1,0 km near Bus shop. There is also Condis mini food shop nearby (300 m) there you can by Drink Water in 5-8 l. bottels.

Plussat: Super location

Miinukset: Cleaners could come twice a week instead of once

Plussat: Location was fantastic, people watching at night and onto the beach at first light the apartment was in a super location. Steakhouse and and bar on ground floor were both very good too. I'd stay again

Miinukset: Lack of utensils and no kettle in kitchen. Not a sharp knife to cut bread or anything.

Plussat: Position of apartment brilliant.

Miinukset: Modest accommodation but could do with upgrading.

Plussat: Kiitos, hyvästä palvelusta! Huoneet ovat tosi siistit ja tilavat. Tosi hyvä sijaiti. Vastaa odotukset. Suositellen.

Plussat: Receptionist was lovely and the bar staff in the bar below were great to

Plussat: Receptionist was so helpful & friendly

Miinukset: Not enough plug sockets

Miinukset: The restaurant was noisy in the mornings when they set the furniture.

Plussat: The location was perfect. The apartments are basic but has everything you need.

Miinukset: Only suggestion would be to have a mirror in each of the bedrooms, and maybe an oven dish :)

Plussat: Location and view

Miinukset: Lack of information re using, oven, hob, coffee maker. No waste bin in toilet

Plussat: Bed was comfortable, shower was big and breakfast was good.

Miinukset: Hair in the room which did not come from our heads. Could not switch off the light on the balcony. Poor parking facilities.

Plussat: location and breakfast

Miinukset: having to pay for wifi and having to pay to use the safe deposit box.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, but not really oriented to British tastes, however the pastries more than made up for this. I found the staff were very accommodating to me with my travel problems and answered my queries very quickly via e-mail.

Miinukset: I found it noisy in my room and this was mainly due to chairs scraping on the tiled floor in other rooms and banging of doors closing in the corridor, a lot of echo sounds. Also I would have liked somewhere more comfier to sit and relax and tea making facilities in my room.

Plussat: Nice hotel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good choice of food during breakfast and dinner. Best value for money!

Miinukset: Car collecting garbage is rather noisy in the morning.

Miinukset: Dirty Unfriendly staff Arrogant Bad Breakfast, frozen bread, cold fried eggs

Plussat: everything was amazing, great location, awesome pool, very nice staff, great food

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful people on the reception Hotel is located just a few minutes walk away from the beach. Every room has a nice balcony, where is cosy to sit down on the evenings.

Plussat: Great location and staff

Miinukset: Very bad WiFi

Plussat: Very clean. Pleasent waiters at the restaurant.

Miinukset: The staff is not properly organized and aligned between each other.

Plussat: When we arrived the hotel realized they had forgotten to reserve space for our rental cars in their parking lot as agreed. This was compensated by free use of their own parking lot right in front of the hotel for free and an upgrade to apartments instead of hotel rooms. Friendly and very service minded receptionists. Pool was Not over crowded and apartments were fine, aircondition was Well dimensioned. Bath rooms clean and tidy. Beach is close to the hotel.

Plussat: Perfect location towards the beach and other Nice places worth visiting.

Miinukset: It is an old building.

Plussat: Aamiainen hyva ja monipuolinen.

Plussat: Great location and very good breakfast

Plussat: Helpful staff, daily cleaning, good food, rooftop pool, good location

Miinukset: the ... was not repaired, the size of the room

Plussat: Nice hotel, good location

Plussat: I was on my own on a cycling trip and I was allowed to take my bike into my room which I appreciated. Quiet and big rooms. Excellent breakfast, I could of stayed all day

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Vicinity to Centre, Value for Money

Miinukset: Road to walk to centre has narrow boardwalks, take parallel road

Plussat: Location of the hotel is very good, five minutes walk to the beach. In few minutes walk you can find different stores, shops and supermarkets. Also, easy accessible with a bus from Girona or Barcelona airport. Staff was very polite and always ready to help. Dinner was good. Rooftop terrace with a pool was also fine. Most of the rooms have a balcony.

Miinukset: It could have been cleaner. The 'clean' towels had some yellow stains. Sound isolation is almost non existent. You can hear people walking downstairs, opening doors, talking in the hallway or their rooms, while being in your room. So forget afternoon nap. Considering number of kids and their behavior, definitely not the hotel for adults and quiet atmosphere. There were no name tags on the food buffet, we needed to ask every time which meat or even what food was it. For the first time that we had to pay extra for the safe in the room, free safe is standard, especially for this type of prices. Overall overpriced, price should be between 20% to 30% cheaper, definitely not a value for money.

Plussat: The receptionist ( laura i believe it was) was very kind and understandable.

Plussat: Location was good! wifi was good!

Miinukset: The room we were given was not corresponding to the pictures of the hotel in booking description. The room was old, not renovated at all. Was really disappointing. I have booked a double bed and single bed in one room, but the manager of the hotel told me that i will receive a room upon availability and even if i reserved it does not mean i will get it. They gave the oldest room in the hotel with a weird smell! I had found insects in the bed which were biting me during the night. Breakfast was not good, the meat products (salami, jamon, fuet) were the cheapest and it´s a pity to eat bad jamon in Spain!

Plussat: Free parking, location near nice beach.

Miinukset: Small room and very small bathroom.

Plussat: The staff was really friendly. Our beds were very comfortable Excellent location. Great free parquing area

Plussat: By the seaside (couple of minutes walking) and best value for money! Thank you Susana for being so kind ! Very welcoming staff

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff, in fact a family-run place. Excellent breakfast! Got a sea-view room although the hotel is not located on the seafront. Close to the stop of the boat that tours Costa Brava. Cheapest thing in town in July-August. Close to minimarket.

Miinukset: Young couples are not in the target unless one considers the budget.

Plussat: Nice helpful people

Plussat: Great staff,clean room and bathroom.Amazing breakfast with reasonable price.

Plussat: Like staying with family, very friendly and helpful staff. Two minutes walk from the beach. Restaurants, supermarket all close by. Free parking. Definitely will go back.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly friendly. We wanted late check out the next day which was granted free of charge and made things so much easier for us. The location is excellent being right in the town. The rooms are simple but comfortable and the bar area is relaxed and friendly. No air conditioning so open French doors to the street below at night made for a very noisy night BUT this is a budget hotel and for the price, overall excellent. I would definitely recommend it if location, friendliness and budget are important .

Miinukset: No air conditioning meant we had to have the French doors open at night. The street below was very noisy BUT this is a budget hotel in a central location so to be expected.

Plussat: Location, cleanliness

Miinukset: Breakfast was not too appealing.

Miinukset: Free WiFi is available only in the hall. You should pay to get internet in your room.

Plussat: Good food and quite plentiful but a pity the greedy residents were allowed to steal lots which sometimes meant we went wirhout (why don't they just stop them taking in big bags ?). Good size room and quiet area.

Miinukset: People stealing food openly from the dining hall. Not having yoghurt for breakfast. A fair walk from centre but at least there was good walkways. Local bars and restaurants starting to close so may not go mid September again.

Plussat: Great location to the beach.

Miinukset: No WiFi at all.

Plussat: The location is perfect- it close to everywhere: sea, shops etc.

Miinukset: Well, I never ever saw such small room and bathroom. The room has the bed, the “wardrobe” which is just a hole in the wall. The “shower” is 50x50 square, and there is no possibility to wash or move - otherwise all the water spreaded everywhere. In case there are attractions show - the music is over survival.

Plussat: The location is very good, behind the hostal you can find a big free public parking place.

Miinukset: I had a "one bed room", and it was no air, the window opened to an inner shaft. But it was not a big problem.

Plussat: Good value for money

Miinukset: Poor sound insulation

Plussat: perfect breakfast

Miinukset: check in in the night

Plussat: Clean, amazing location, good breakfast, great staff. Rooms are cleaned every second day. The bar is very nice and it works until 1am. Great price for the offer. If I go in Miranda next time I would request a room with a balcony. I would highly recommend this hostel.

Miinukset: The only negative thing would be that the rooms miss an AC, but it's not unbearable.

Plussat: Everything was perfect!

Plussat: There is no outward window and outside views in our room, but instead, our room was not so noisy and sunlight was totally prevented after all. Staffs are all friendly.

Miinukset: Room was not so large. There is no air-conditioner in the room.

Plussat: Location, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Noisy at night.

Plussat: The room is uncomfortable, but quite cheap. The price / quality is excellent. Room only overnight. The staff is nice. Tomorrow is just great, everything is delicious. Besides pancakes :) they need to be cooked with a soul, guys!

Plussat: Location, staff, breakfast.

Miinukset: I think the bathroom area wasn't properly cleaned, had a funny smell around the toilet.

Plussat: The swimming pool and the location

Miinukset: The beds, curtains and the furnitures are a bit old. Need some changes. And the bathroom, we found a sticky bubble gum when we arrived.

Plussat: Great value for money.

Miinukset: Close to beach, great value for what u pay.

Plussat: Pool and location

Miinukset: Staff and no lifeguards

Plussat: I like in general whole apartment and staff. Very good about this apartment is the location it is only 5min away from thr beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Modern and spacious apartment. Very clean in apartment and all areas of complex. Friendly and helpful staff. Great size pool andsunbed whenever we used the pool area.. Enjoyed the chilled out bar area in the evenings. Partner and son enjoyed using the pool tables.

Miinukset: The noise at night.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and well respected. They did their best to keep you feel happy. The refrigerator was not 100% functioning and in 1 call they replaced it with a brand new one in 10 minutes. Nice atmosphere with nice music from 8pm till 12:00am 2 minutes walk from the beach side and most historic places.

Miinukset: No air conditions in the apartments. Everything inside is old. Beds are not comfortable and old. I stayed there for one whole week and couldn’t sleep one single night due to the noise from outside neighborhood (night clubs and drunk people especially during the weekends And police chasing them all night and every single night the same scenario) Swimming pool is not as clean as it should be (not enough chlorine) although they clean it regularly every single morning.

Plussat: The staff, the location, the apartment was great and clean. Is great to go with family.

Miinukset: There wasn't air conditioner, so we had to bring a fan with us.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The kitchen did not have enough cooking sauspans and lack of clean towels.

Plussat: The staff that worked there were nice. Location were fine.

Miinukset: Too much young people in nog groups and cause of that too much noise, especially in the nights. No aircondition and just inte fan and inne in the bedroom, too hot in the night!!! Not many things in the kitchen.

Plussat: Lovely pool

Miinukset: Dated, noise was really bad! More suited to teens than families. No clean towels for 5 days and when we asked we were told NO! No kettle oven Or toaster. Not well equipped at all! Teens making noise all night. Doors banging , being sick round the pool... etc. no good for families at all. Great location though.::

Plussat: Comfy beds, good place if all you’re needing is that for a cheap stay.

Miinukset: Very rude staff member on arrival - no greeting, just an abrupt request for ID. When we provided ID the woman then slammed the scanner down on my friend’s iphone and grunted at us when the machine didn’t work, unbelievable! Key got stuck in the door each time we opened/closed it, bed linen had cigarette holes on them. Unable to use the bath as there were horrible rust marks on it.

Plussat: parking, value for money, balcony

Miinukset: It matches the price and photos so happy with the stay.

Plussat: Excellent value for money. The room was quite spacious, so was the bathroom. Everything is very clean, though not very new. The cleaner came in every day though it was unnecessary. The clean towels were changed for the cleanER ones and the beds were made neatly every time, the floors were washed. All this - despite the fact that we went out quite late, i.e.when the cleaner had already finished our floor, but she would come back and clean our room. There's a nice little balcony with two chairs. It can face a quieter street and then you get the canaries singing just opposite, or a noisier road, but not too bad anyway. There's a big diner and bar downstairs where you would get your beer in a glass just taken out from the freezer. Haven't tried their food but looked and smelt nice. Several staff spoke sufficient English. Don't be afraid of the word "hostAl", it doesn't mean"hostEl", it just means a small inexpensive hotel! Several good supermarkets within easy walking distance. A 20-25 minute pleasant walk through the town takes you to the beach. The beach is long and wide so even in the very high season there was plenty of space. The beach and the sea are clean too. No need to mention numerous cafes all along the beach. To sum up - Blanes is a good quiet resort for a peaceful sea holiday and Bona Vista is a cost-effective place with excellent service!

Plussat: Could not try the food as the morning barman was very rude. I tried to explain what I wanted and he just said he had no time for me.

Miinukset: Late shift staff was very nice but the barman ruined everything about the stay.

Plussat: Near supermarket and beach

Miinukset: Noisy, can't sleep.

Plussat: Friendly staff, Alex was very helpful in translating menus, food was great, room was big and clean. Balcony with good views. Really enjoyed our stay

Plussat: Very helpful staff! Food good and cheap in the restaurant. Loved our stay

Plussat: Great value for 30€. The shower was warm and nice.

Miinukset: The bed was a bit soft and it was not possible to close the balcony door.

Plussat: Good value for money. Free parking.

Miinukset: Front door make very unpleasant noise which wake us up every morning.

Plussat: the staff being helpfull

Miinukset: the hotel had numerous junior football teams and youth groups that monopolized all public areas. The restaurant resembled a school canteen. Shouting over balconies until midnight. The pool area was large with 120 beds and only 12 sun umbrellas and no shade. It should have been important to high lite the fact that no alcohol was allowed anywhere in the hotel ,not even a glass of wine with the evening meal. we are 74 years old and were looking forward to a quiet relaxing holiday which we certainly did not get.

Plussat: It’s in a great location, a couple of minutes walk from the beach

Miinukset: The food isn’t good, but there is always something you ca eat

Plussat: Location was great, food at hotel was fantastic and staff great..

Miinukset: No night time, noisy all night long.

Plussat: The receptionist Anastasia was very helpful and tried her best under difficult circs..

Miinukset: The dining room was chaotic like a rugby scrum although the staff did their best to keep it under control. Hundreds of badly behaved children and teenagers, noisy and unruly... All in all, not a pleasant experience...

Plussat: The breaskfast was really nice and the strand is close by.

Miinukset: Lack of language skills. If you dont speak Spanish you cannot communicate with the personnel.

Plussat: The reception staff were friendly. Bar member Judith very sweet.

Miinukset: The food was absolutely disgusting, we paid for half board but ended up spending a huge chunk of our holiday spending money on eating out. The evening entertainment for adults was pretty much non existant and we ended up staying in our room after our daily activities. The first room we were given was very poor, it was dusty, had cracks in the walls and smelt funny. The second room was better and had a good pool view, but comfort wise, definitely no more than 3/10

Plussat: Near the beach

Miinukset: Good location for bus but for renfe train station its so far.
