Hotelet elRetiro

We enjoyed the fact that the hotel was very easy to get to from the highway as we were passing through and only staying one night so in the morning it was easy to continue on our journey. We were professionally and nicely greeted by the lady at the reception. We decided to eat at the restaurant as the next day we wanted to get back on the road very early and enjoyed a very good meal of the day (menu del dia) for 16.00€ per person and it was delicious! The swimming pool area was spotless and being enjoyed by several families with their children. There is a large terrace in front to sit and have a drink or a snack (there is a large selection of small meals to chose from like burgers, chicken fingers, pizza). The hotel room we stayed in although facing the highway was extremely quiet. For an additional 10€ you can park in a secured gated area behind the hotel although there is also abundant free parking as well (we chose to use the secure parking). Pet friendly. We did not have a full breakfast but rather chose muffins and coffee.

I can think of nothing!

Excellent place for a stop over en route to southern Spain. Easy to find, direct access to A7 motorway. FAB restaurant which is open 24/7 - try the Menu del Dia for 12.90, served at lunchtime and after 20h, it is EXCELLENT. As for the rooms, they are large and airy with high ceilings, comfy beds with nice sheets, good sized bathroom with hairdryer - could not fault the place. This is my second stay here whilst travelling alone and I can thoroughly recommend it. The staff are friendly and helpful, the price is very reasonable, parking is free and the atmosphere is lovely and typically Spanish. I got the impression that a lot of the diners were locals, which is always a good sign.

Absolutely nothing!

.Warm welcome from receptionist. Basic double room, clean, comfortable bed. The place is really more of truck stop but very handy location whilst in transit from north to southern Spain. The room rate at €56 is okay and includes a basic continental breakfast. On site cafe bar is good. The burgers are enormous and value for money. Would stay again but wouldn't want to pay anymore.

Shower in the room is very dated, one of those tiny baths suitable for a child. Shower curtain that sticks to you. Stepping over the side is a bit dodgy, you need to be careful when getting in or out particularly when it's wet.

A little gem, perfectly placed for stopover on the way to southern Spain and easy access from and to the motorways. The 24 hour restaurant is an added bonus and the food is good and reasonably priced. The lady at the reception is very friendly and efficient. Yes, the rooms are a little dated, but the décor is not offensive and they are spacious, spotlessly clean and have nice sheets. The bathroom is a good size, with the added bonus of a hairdryer and even a clothesline. There is even a swimming pool and gymnasium. As a lone female, I felt very safe as the local police were regular restaurant customers throughout the evening. Excellent value for the price paid - I will be back.

The only problem for me is the soundproofing of the rooms, I could hear people coming and going and having conversations in the hallway, that said, it was not noisy late in the night and I slept very well..

perfect location right on the highway. very nice pool and great bar always open. Took chicken wings and an hamburger and portion were really great.

unfortunately one of the 2 rooms I took had a strong smell of smoke. the other room was facing the backyard and at night there was noise coming from trucks parking and also truck drivers speaking outside.

Located next to the A7 Cambrils this is a great stopover. It's basically a truck stop with hotel attached. The bar restaurant is handy and there is free parking. The hotel and restaurant are dog friendly. It's great value for money

Under the bed was thick with dust. The shower head had no directional bracket

Private car parking directly outside our bedroom door at rear

Difficult to find if using the post code and sat nav hotel should give instructions to stay on dual carriageway gor a little longer. The restaurant was busy with Spanish locals which.is normally a good sign but food was mainly burgers (which looked good) and pizzas which are not what we were hoping for.

good size room, massive bed, easy to find, plenty of parking, good breakfast, friendly staff

shower curtain keeps sticking to you making it very uncomfortable and difficult to wash properly. keep reception open later! maybe until 6:00ish to make checking in easier for those who have limited Spanish. But I appreciate we could do more to learn more Spanish

we were travelling with our dogs, and they were welcome in the bar and restaurant which was great. The location was good as it was just off the motorway. Best of all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

The shower, had a mind of its own, and struggled not too flood the bathroom. Only a slight problem and easily sorted by the hotel.

Location was great, as hotel just off the motorway and we were onward travelling.

The only criticism we had is that the walls between the bedrooms are very thin and we were unlucky to have very noisy neighbours right into the night…very annoying when you have a long journey ahead of you next day!
