Hotels Near JD Sports in Tarragona

We have been visiting Tarragona frequently, sometimes twice a year, since 2005. We have stayed at the Hotel Lauria every time from 2006, because it has always been so comfortable and friendly. The Lauria could not be in a better location, with easy access to the shops, and to many Roman sites such as the amphitheatre and the Forum. The new theatre is directly opposite on the other side of the Rambla Nova. The program of refurbishment has been proceeding for a few years now, and must be close to completion. The upgrades to the rooms and public areas are excellent. We were unable to have our usual room this time, but, thanks to our long-serving friend, José, in Reception, we had a super room with a sea view, overlooking the recently refurbished pool. The buffet breakfast is, as usual, well-stocked and frequently overseen by another long-serving friend, Juan. The new coffee machine is great, once you work out how to get the best out of it. Manager Eloy is friendly & helpful as ever, as are all the other Reception and cleaning staff. This was the first time we had managed to get to Tarragona for the spectacular Easter parade. This is a ”must see” event that we strongly recommend.

I’m not familiar with Tarragona city for the first time. I booked this hotel on Ctrip. It is about 3~4 kilometers away from the city and 500 meters away from the hotel. There are buses, either No. 6 or No. 54. You can get to the city from 5 to 8 stations, and the distance to the attractions is also very convenient. The hotel’s breakfast is delicious, the rooms are large, and the environment is really good. If you go in summer, the hotel also has a swimming pool. The price is very high. , Shopping is very convenient, the price is affordable, and I will stay here next time. The city of Tarragona is beautiful and it is worth visiting. It is a very historic city!

We stayed midweek for 4 nights in a city view room. Room was clean and comfortable and we weren’t bothered by any road noise. Air conditioning worked well. Reception were helpful when needed. Breakfast was fine, better than we’ve had in some other city hotels. The pool was lovely and we had it to ourselves most mornings before heading off sightseeing. The caravan cafe didn’t open whilst we were there due to demand. The nearest beach was gorgeous with soft golden sand and the chiringitos opened whilst late at night. The only thing to be aware of is that taxis were expensive, ten euro to do the mile into town. We ended up walking in via the beach in the day and using buses to go out at night, but these stopped running quite early. We taxied back once and walked back after midnight twice, it felt safe. I had seen on here it was a 20 minute walk, that seemed optimistic and was more like 30, at least it was downhill on way back from town which means it’s uphill into town. All in all a good stay if you like walking.

The hotel is located in the old town of the small town, and you can experience the life of the locals at close range. Close to the cathedral. There are free parking spaces around. Although the hotel is in the old city, the design is avant-garde and beautiful. Very warm and characteristic hotel. The small town is located between Tarragona and Salou, a 5-minute drive to Ferrari theme parks and PortAventura theme parks.

We were a bit aprehensive about holidaying here after reading all the mixed reviews. It was a last minute deal at this 3* Hotel. It's 20 minutes from the airport and that was on a coach transfer. The welcome from the Reception Staff was very warm and efficient. The lifts were both working whilst we were there but they were both a bit slow in arriving. We were only on the 3rd floor so we did walk up and down most days. The room had 2 double beds and was very clean. The room was cleaned everyday and we were given fresh towels. The meals were of a good standard and there was always a large variety to choose from. We did hear people complain about the food,but really couldn't understand why as we never found anything wrong. At breakfast the chef was on hand to make omlettes and cook fresh eggs. There were cereals,fruit juice,full cooked breakfast, cheeses, meats,breads,croissants etc. At lunchtime they would cook burgers,steak or sausage and of an evening they would cook steak and chicken. There was always a pasta dish, chips, salad, fresh cooked baguettes and a selection of cooked meats. (See photos) The pool was absolutely freezing but perhaps that was just due to it being October. The entertainment staff were coming to the end of their season but still did a great job. Simon was really friendly and took time out during the day to sit and chat with people. The Jet 2 Rep Phillip was brilliant and very knowledgeable on the area. He gave us plenty of tips even though we didn't book any trips with him. The bar staff were brilliant. Juan was so friendly and went out of his way to help people who wanted to improve their Spanish. He made such an effort with his Fancy Dress costumes all week as they were celebrating Halloween. If you like wine the ones they serve are of a good quality . The rooftop bar was closed due to it being so.late in the eason,but both the jacuzzis were on and the sunbeds,chairs and tables were out for use. The views from the rooftop terrace are beautiful. The terrace itself looked like it had recently been updated . I liked the fact that the pool area didn't open until 10am as that stopped people putting towels on the sunbeds then going out for the day. There were plenty of sunbeds out and several more stacked at the side if needed. We never struggled to get a sunbed in the sun. The temperatures were up to 27° some days and that was mid October. There are a couple of beaches within walking distance and the main town is a 10 minute walk which you can do along the shore line walkway. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would describe the hotel as being top end of its 3 stars.

We stayed a week in a 4th floor two bed apartment which was very clean, well equipped , with pool view large balcony and had its own boiler supplied hot water . The apartments are a bit dated inside and out and the exterior could do with smartening up but the pool and sunbathing area are very well kept and clean . When we stayed there were plenty of available sunbeds . We did see the pool attendant reluctantly removing towels from reserved sunbeds first thing in the morning after waiting for a while . This seems reasonable .. he is only doing what he’s been asked to do by owners . One slightly inconvenient thing is that there are no toilets around the pool area , so you have to go back to the apartment . The apartments are in the “town” area rather than the busy “tourist area” at the other end of the beach . Although there are plenty of local cafes , supermarkets and bars in the area . The apartments are about a fifteen min walk from the beach . Be aware that two sunbeds and a parasol is €25 a day . I had read negative comments about staff in reception , but I found them helpful and friendly . Just because someone doesn’t have a great command of English doesn’t make them “rude and unfriendly “. The staff were helpful in getting a parasol for the hot balcony and were accommodating when we wanted a late check out on our apartment ( albeit with a small charge )

It’s a wonderful place for a family holiday. Friendly staff, top-notch service. The food is very varied for all tastes. The beach is very close, 4 minutes from the hotel. All the necessary grocery stores and supermarkets are within walking distance.

The hotel is located in Cambril in the Vilafortuny district. The rooms are made every day and clean, and the voices in the corridors are not badly heard and if you are just up to the party room you can hear noise in the evenings. When you're k.o it goes through or you'll get a box ball. The breakfast is really a 10/10! I've tested the sports room , small but great with the basic machines and even the alters. And to finish the host was more or less good. Finally at Check-in the host was a little cold and not very polite. But other hosts and hosts are good. You can rent bikes at the hotel for €9 per day (tested but not approved so a hostess made us a commercial gesture).
