We loved our hotel owners, Xabi and his gracious wife who were both very accommodating, knowledgeable and great hosts. Both the young gentlemen who manned the desks were equally helpful and kind. The staff were very good and always greeted us with lovely smiles and were eager to help where they could. The venue was in a great position. Close to the centre, close to the beach, the train station and an 8- min walk to the bus terminal. What more can one ask for? As for this small personable hotel - It has an eclectic mixture of antique furniture and shabby chic pieces with a huge Roman centurion standing in the dining room with a huge welcoming smile. The facilities are really exceptional. Residents are encouraged to bring their meals to the dining room tables where the hotel offers all crockery, cutlery, microwave, toaster, kettle, tea on tap, a great coffee vending machine (yep, only €1 for a capuccino!) and a soft drinks and beer vending machine as well. Residents can use a space in the large refridgerator to keep their food and use stickers for them to mark their food parcels. No, no need to wash your plates either...just leave them in a tray for a hotel staff to wash. Happiness is... We loved our 11-night stay at this cute, eccentric hotel in the hart of Tarragona and we found it to be very reasonable and believe me...it had a hart! We recomend this without reservtion and will happily go back to stay again!

nothing to say here...

Clean and comfortable accommodation with very useful dining room to make drinks and snacks. Great market a few minutes away for supplies. The owner, Xavier is just lovely, and I liked the vintage, ‘shabby chic’ decor and decorative items. 😊 Tarragona is a great place to stay, lots to do and see.

Nothing

- Xavier at reception was lovely and gave me a lot of information on Tarragona! - Good position, a short walk from everything you want to see - There is a dining area with everything you need to eat in case you get takeaway or get some food at the store

- I didn't love that the sink and shower didn't have a water pressure setting, it felt a little bit like a waste of water (especially the sink as you can't stop it early), plus the shower took some time to understand how to use - Could hear everything from outside (I thought it would have been a quiet area but I could hear people screaming and chatting outside at 3/4 am as if they were in the room with me), same thing with the guests upstairs, I could hear everything. Not really the hotel's fault but it would be worth making at least the windows more "sound proof" - Thankfully I was alone but if I was with someone it definitely would have been awkward to use the toilet as there was no door, only a curtain

Everything, location was perfect, staff were wonderful, Mol bé. Would highly recommend it. A lovely quiet place to sleep, in easy walking distance of all the best places to visit.

There was nothing that we didn't like.

great location halfway between bus and train stations - short walk to either. quiet location in the middle of a sedate street with little traffic. comfortable bed. good wifi. large kitchen area. friendly staff.

the shower is operated via a push button but the water only comes out for about 2 seconds per push. no, that's not a typo, it's literally only two seconds. i timed it. so you have to keep one hand on the button the entire time you shower to keep the water flowing. the sink is also push button operated but lasts a much more reasonable 15-20 seconds. normally push button showers run for 90-120 seconds, so this was pretty strange and frustrating. there are lots of signs telling you what you aren't allowed to do but all the rules are reasonable so it's not a problem - i guess they have had some bad guests in the past? everything else was fine.

This small hotel exceeded my expectations. At the price, I was not expecting luxury but the hotel was comfortable, clean and had better facilities than some of the much more expensive hotels that I've stayed at. There was a residents' lounge downstairs where there was plenty of tables and chairs, cutlery and crockery, a microwave, kettle, toasters and a fridge. The receptionist was extremely helpful and gave us a map and pointed out some locations we could visit. The hotel is about 5 mins walk from the station and just around the corner from the Fira de Congress were we had tickets for the ballet. There is a small Spar supermarket just round the corner where you can buy food and heat it up in the microwave which we did.

The area is a bit seedy but we still felt safe walking about at night.

This is an excellent budget hotel that offers much more than you’d expect. A simple, clean and cool room with comfortable bed and small balcony in our room. Use of food preparation area with everything needed to prepare and eat simple food. Coffee machine, and tea, fridge, toaster, microwave provided. A large table to sit and enjoy your meal. The check in was easy, we were greeted by the hosts who are super friendly, and they cannot do enough to make your stay a good one. Very informative with local knowledge, and we were given a map with local places of interest to visit. We were very happy with our stay and we thoroughly recommend to all.

Pigal hotel was in a great location, only 7 minutes from the train station and very easy to find, and in walking distance to some historical locations. We were checked in by Artim who was amazing. Really friendly, helpful, showed us around the hotel and gave us a map with all the tourist locations and anything further away told us best bus routes to take. His English was amazing and also gave us his personal recommendations for resturants and beaches to visit. Artim made the stay that more enjoyable, really want to give him a shout-out!

Although it did state that there was no air con, the fan in the bedroom after a while didn't have a cooling effect.

This lodging provides a great price to value ratio. I admit to having been a bit concerned given the bargain price but the high rating by previous guests led me to take a chance and book. What we got was really a very comfortable bargain. This is a family owned and operated business with the owners on-sight during business hours and often beyond those times to accommodate late arriving guests. The room was spartan, though I expected that given the low price. The location was excellent, a short walk from the market place where one could get breakfast or bring it back to the hotel. The owner who speaks excellent English was happy to arrange a taxi that would stop off at the Roman aqua-duct on the way to a remote train station where we could catch the fast train back to Barcelona. I would happily stay here again.

I had a bit of trouble with the coffee and bottled water machines, which were coin operated. The coffee and tea service didn't really meet my needs. But market place was a couple of blocks away and there were a number of coffee places within easy walking distance.

I have stayed here several times and find it a pleasant and convenient place to stay in Tarragona. It is friendly and informal and more like a Travellers Hostel than Hotel. There is a common area for eating or working. Room is comfortable with all that is needed. Location in the backstreets is convenient for the city centre and close to the Railway Station. Was able to leave bags at Reception after Check out until departure for Airport.

Area around the Hotel is not the smartest but within a couple of blocks it gets nicer.
