Super hotel in a castle, clean, quiet
Check-in is quick, the rooms are clean, parking is free, the views from the window are 5 out of 5. There is only one recommendation, make a fan in the bathroom with a switch, it is noisy at night
Location: The hotel is located near the train station, but getting there requires climbing a steep hill. It’s puzzling why the hotel doesn’t offer a shuttle bus to the station. On the bright side, the hotel faces the sea, offering stunning views. There’s also a sightseeing mini-train right downstairs, which costs €8 per person. It takes you around some of Tarragona’s main attractions, but it doesn’t stop along the way, nor is there any guided commentary.
Service: The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming. They not only recommended excellent sightseeing routes but also some very delicious restaurants. Since we arrived early for check-in and our room wasn’t ready, they kindly offered us the option to use the gym facilities to change clothes if needed.
Cleanness: Good.
Facility: The mattress was terrible. Why do mattresses in Spanish local-brand hotels seem to always sag so much? Do they actually prefer that sinking feeling?
Overall: Great value for money.
Generally very good, they allowed me late checkout and changed my room since it was not a double bed as it was stated in the trip.com description in which it also said that there was a bathtub but there was no...
The cleanliness was good, the bed was very comfortable, the location was good, perhaps the least of all was the breakfast, it lacked some selection for a 4-star hotel, everything was too simple, but the man who was in the freshly made eggs and crepes section was very friendly (Yusef), generally good.
I don't know where the spa is, nor do they mention it. Therefore calling it Hotel & Spa seems a bit unnecessary to me.
The room was unexpectedly clean and there was no bad taste. The whole hotel in winter may have a few rooms with guests, but it is very quiet and comfortable. The hotel restaurant can also try traditional dishes. The room didn't even have a kettle and no water. I had to go to the bar to buy it. The bar can have tea and a little wine, super beautiful at sunset
There are really no shops in the town in winter, and even a meal and a bread have to be eaten at lunch and dinner time. The only advantage is that you can take any photo and you can't see one.
La chambre avec balcon et vue sur la piscine et la mer est très agréable.
La SDB est top, douche avec commande digitale et WC japonais.
Le PDJ est très bon et varié par contre la demi pension est répétitive mais bonne.
Le personnel est professionnel et gentil.
We spent a weekend at Aiguablava Parador in Begur. We were a party of four people. The good points were the location, the rooms (comfortable beds, fabulous sea view, spacious rooms, nice amenities) the hotel is very spacious and tastefully decorated. The swimming pool, at the top end of the cliff, although not massive, is large enough and with fantastic views of the area. A very privileged position with views of Aiguablava cove and a private path down to the cove. Breakfast was varied and good quality in general and served in the breakfast room with gorgeous views. Freshly squeezed fruit juice and good quality coffee. The negatives were the check in experience, too long and with an inexperienced receptionist who lacked aptitude in the treatment of experienced travelers/customers and couldn’t get my name right. There was a general lack of coordination between departments (reception and restaurant) our evening meal reservation was not communicated to the restaurant either of the two days and my name was wrong in all departments from beginning to end even though the receptionist had access to my ID card and the online booking form. The evening meals were sub standard. Generally unpleasant food, tasteless fish and a dirty lukewarm brown sauce, packet custard-based deserts. Brick sized chunks of melon as fruit salad. Some dishes were inedible. A very limited wine list and very expensive wines. The service in the restaurant varied from pleasant to inappropriate with some comments from waiting staff demonstrating their inexperience and unsuitability to work in a hotel of this category, even though they were pleasant and kind at all times. On a final note, I requested by telephone if it would be possible to have some candles on a desert on our final evening as we were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. The receptionist said it would be no problem but it was not communicated to the restaurant and forgotten. As there had been so many hiccups with communication in general I didn’t bother to even try to remind them.
Hotel muy señorial, bonito, habitaciones y baño amplias. Piscina y Spa. Desayuno buffet muy completo y rico. Restaurante con menú, te dan la opción de que sí el día de salida, reservas un tratamiento o comida restaurante, te dejan la habitación hasta las 18,00. Una maravilla para poder aprovechar el día.
Beautiful Hotel. The room was super nice. You get a fresh hot Chocolate Chip Cookie upon arrival. The shower is really nice and everything was as expected. Room service is expensive but the food is good quality.
Excepcional hotel. Desde el envolvente aroma de las zonas comunes hasta las instalaciones, la limpieza y el personal.
El único aspecto a mejorar, en mi opinión, es el desayuno, que siendo de calidad y suficientemente variado, con los salados fríos creo que vendría bien un pequeño cambio y que se presentara del mismo modo que tienen con el resto del buffet. Nada, no obstante, para empañar la estancia.
Gran por la fantástica estancia.
Por cierto, recomiendo encarecidamente el menú degustación experiencia de mar en el restaurante del hotel.
Great

KKimmyg43I had high hopes for this ”4star hotel”
From the pictures and the previous reviews everything seemed like it was too good to be true...
Arrival was average, had to ask which way to go to get to my allocated room (normally you are directed by a member of reception atleast)
Arrived at my room (104) 1st floor.
Opened the door to a bright airy room..my first thoughts were this is lovely.
Dropped my bags and took a shower and that's where things started to go downhill...let me explain...
Now I am aware this is not 5 star but if im being totally honest I have stayed in cleaner 2 star hotels...
The attention to detail from the cleaners is just way below par for a 4 star establishment.
Shower door covered in limescale (easy to put right with a bit of Elbow grease)
Mold and nasties around the outer edge of the shower door (see pics)
Splash marks all over the tiles at the side of the sink (like old toothpaste marks)
Sink wouldn't drain properly (seemed to be blocked)
Skirting boards definitely hadn't been given a wipe for a good few weeks/months
All standard/basic stuff that you would expect from any hotel and certainly from a 4 star one or am I being picky?
Then there was the call to reception to ask for some milk so I could make a coffee (kettle is provided in room)
Receptionist said they don't have fresh milk only 'powdered sachets' of the most vile tasting milk I've ever had (think baby milk/gone off normal milk)
Apparently the restaurant was closed so they could not access it to get some fresh milk?
Receptionist advised me to go to the supermarket..which is a 25 minute walk from the hotel 🤦♀️
As it happens there is a coffee machine outside the reception entrance so I found myself nipping downstairs to buy one from there. (Not the most convenient but we move forward)
I had read that there was a rooftop restaurant in the flyer as advertised but when I asked about it apparently it is no longer there?
The restaurant is only open at breakfast times so no food is available not even snacks? However they advertise room service so unsure how that works?
Outdoor pools closed which is fine but you couldn't even sit on the loungers hence....nowhere to sit outside the hotel itself.
Such a shame that all these little things build and in turn let it down as a 4 star advertised hotel.
Now for the positives...
The view from the room of the sea is beautiful
It is literally across the road from miles of sandy beaches
There are a couple of lovely restaurants nearby that are open from 12 noon for brunch/dinner and reasonably priced.
The area itself is super quiet and feels safe enough as a solo traveller.
TTravel-HolicThis was the finest of experiences I have ever had at a hotel.
Even before our trip had begun, the holiday vibe had already started, 2 weeks prior to our flight.
A member of hotel reception staff at the B&B in Sant Cugat, a beautiful soul, a lady by the name of Maria Faatemah had won us over with her swift responses to our queries and concerns. The more we responded, the more our mind and hearts were at ease.
Always polite and courteous with so much manners and always ready to help us with whatever we presented her with.
2 weeks fast forward - We were welcomed with her sincere wholesome smile and she already knew who we were as soon as she saw is approaching the reception desk. This is someone who is connected with herself and showed is compassion from the get-go.
She served us as though she was the leader and she didn't let us feel uncomfortable even though we didn't speak much Spanish.
She showed us to our room and told us to feel free to ask her should we need anything.
We had a slight situation with our air-condition unit and within 10 minutes she had that resolved by giving us an extra room until the maintenance man fixes the A/C.
The second room was beautiful and I slept their for 2 days and it was a great experience.
Faatemah called taxi's for us, ordered food for us, she translated Spanish to English and she even guided us towards the best tourist spots. It really felt like she had gone above and beyond, at no extra cost.
Even the kids were saying they wanted to buy her something as a thank you present for her amazing service and beautiful mannerism.
Faatemah was incredibly professional, compassionate and offered such a lovely service that we all fell in love with Spain (Barcelona) and would love to go back, just for experiencing this service again.
Faatemah is much more than a lady behind the reception desk and I hope you all the best in the future and I hope you progress to become something bigger and better and that others are also receptive enough to appreciate you.
Thank you Maria Faatemah for being such a wonderful host and your hospitality is so very appreciated.
We all Look forward to visiting you real soon.
Have a beautiful life and I wish you nothing but the best in this life and the next.
Kind regards,
Amer Khan and family

GGuest UserVery good location, lots of restaurants near by and within comfortable walking distance to attractions including Gaudi’s well known church, the Basílica de la Sagrada Família.
Room is good size, with separated shower and toilet. Room attendant is very nice. We stayed 4 nights and may reserve it again if we’re going to Barcelona in the future.
The only downside is the elevator is a bit smaller.
AAiwandexiaopengyouThe hotel is a bit old-fashioned, but the room size was decent enough, with more than ample space to open two large suitcases. And they had *duvets*! This was the only hotel among the several we stayed at in Spain that actually provided them. The location seemed decent enough, although we primarily used taxis. We found that for a group, taking taxis in Barcelona offered better value than using the metro. A branch of Joncake is just a 3-minute walk from the hotel – highly recommended! It's delicious and there was no waiting in line.
YYunxingtianxiaThis hotel truly has it all! Located conveniently on a corner, it's perfectly situated for easy access to dining and shopping. I even got to enjoy Cheese99, a popular spot, every day. Plus, it's within walking distance of Gaudí's masterpieces: Sagrada Família (25-30 minutes), Casa Batlló (15-20 minutes), and Casa Milà (10-15 minutes).
The service deserves a special mention. They were able to book tickets for a football match, and I was incredibly lucky to catch Barcelona playing Copenhagen at home. This included round-trip transfers from Camp Nou to the hotel. Although I interacted with four different staff members for inquiries, confirmation, payment, and transfers (due to different shifts), they all maintained excellent communication throughout. It made for an unforgettable and wonderful evening. I truly experienced the magic of football – the players' agility, their teamwork, varied passing, and the unpredictable, thrilling score changes. The stadium was packed with fans, their cheers and enthusiasm palpable, singing and dancing with genuine passion for the sport! ⚽
CCatWild86A hotel review for Hotel SB BCN Events:
Hotel SB BCN Events: A Fantastically Fun and Surprisingly Serene Stay!
Forget what you think you know about ”business” hotels, because the Hotel SB BCN Events is a delightful surprise that's packed with fun, positive vibes, and a truly relaxing atmosphere!
From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The check-in was a breeze, and we were whisked away to our room, which was an absolute dream. The decor is modern and sleek, but the big, fluffy beds and the incredible natural light made it feel cozy and welcoming. I'm pretty sure I could have spent my entire trip just lounging on that bed and gazing out the window!
But then we discovered the rooftop pool... and the game was officially changed! Holy wow. The views are breathtaking, and it's the perfect spot to unwind, soak up the sun, and enjoy a cocktail. The atmosphere is so relaxed and happy; it's like a little slice of paradise right in the city. And the poolside bar staff? Absolute legends! They were so friendly and made the most delicious drinks.
Even the hotel's location, which might seem a little outside the city center, is a huge plus! It's so peaceful and quiet at night, and we loved the feeling of escaping the hustle and bustle after a day of sightseeing. Plus, the public transport connections are super easy, so getting to the main attractions was never a problem. We actually enjoyed the short ride, as it gave us a chance to see more of the city!
The food at the hotel was also fantastic. We had a lovely dinner at the restaurant, and the breakfast buffet in the morning was a feast! So many options, all so fresh and delicious. It was the perfect way to fuel up for a day of exploring.
Overall, our stay at Hotel SB BCN Events was an absolute joy. It’s a place that manages to be stylish and sophisticated, yet still feel incredibly friendly and fun. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning our next trip back. If you're looking for a hotel that goes above and beyond to make you feel special, this is the place for you. Five stars and two enthusiastic thumbs up! 👍👍
MMARXO_JIASHUFantastic hotel room with good scenery, although the pool will be closed due to the heavy rain, but it will open while the sun shows. Also it take 5mins to the Tram station, 10mins to Metro(L4). 15mins to the beach. Hope these pictures can help anyone who is interested in this hotel to refer😊
GGuest UserThe room was spacious and right by the train station. There's a McDonald's downstairs and a Carrefour nearby. We chose this place because we had an early morning train to Granada. It's a bit far from the main attractions, but the subway is convenient, and there's a machine at the station to buy public transport cards, which was really helpful.
AAaron II enjoyed my stay here, and I will stay here again.
Great little studio apartments, nestled in a striking historical building right next to a small, well-used park. Plenty of restaurants and bars around and 5 minutes walk to the train station.
I loved the balcony with a view over thevport out to the Mediterranean Sea.
My only downer is that it would be great if it had a washing machine and an electric kettle.
AAyaazThe hotel was nice and clean. Car park was good. Breakfast could be better but should state a clear message that children breakfast are not free because I asked for breakfast included and we were charged for two children both age under 11 . Need more staff at check-in desk. But wonderful experience.
