Hotel Carlos I

Lovely hotel, rooms nice and staff very friendly and helpful. We came as a group of females and really enjoyed our weekend and we treated the hotel well and with respect...only downfall was the other visitors were all Spanish and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome even tho we were friendly, respectful and quiet, also quality of food could have been better. All in all tho a brilliant weekend with lovely hotel staff.

This could be good ..but sadly pool was dirty … the breakfast was poor the staff In dinning all need to smile ..No coffee making facilities in bedroom so was over priced for what we paid and got ..the staff on reception was very good .. And this time off year it is catered for Spanish not English !!

First of all I wanna say the hotel is a good hotel its clean rooms are a good size but the beds are not the most comfortable and by the end of the week my back new I had slept on a hard surface for a week. Also it’s 2 single beds pushed together that literally part with very little persuasion. The food (we only had breakfast) is ok plenty of choice from fresh fruit yoghurts freshly cooked eggs. Prices at the bar are very reasonable compared to some hotels and the bar staff are very good. Downside to this hotel are it’s a very Spanish oriented clientele which is fine if you like older people sat on the same table as each other shouting at one another or having there phone playing music full blast while shouting to there friend across the table. Whether this is a Spanish thing I don’t know but when we fancied a quiet beer by the bar on the terrace you literally can’t hear yourself think. If you want a quiet relaxing hotel I probably wouldn’t recommend this place to you. As for the beach yea it’s a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach front old town probably 20 mins walk up and down hill. New town probably 25-30 mins walk. Taxi are really cheap and reception will book one for you. Check in was very quick and no problems what so ever. Rooms are fine like I said above we have a fridge that works. The air con sometimes gets a bit smelly so we turn that off. Showers are great bathrooms very spacious. Would I stay here again probably not it’s not really the hotels fault it’s just more geared to elderly Spanish people who are hard of hearing!! We are very laid back type of people and takes a bit to annoy us but the shouting and chair dragging gets a bit tired some after a while! Rooftop pool is more like a jacuzzi very shallow pool on ground floor is good size few beds only 1 working parasol tho in the hotel. Overall good hotel but bit far from where we wanna be and more like a Spanish nursing home on occasions.
