Almeria Hotels with Gym

Check-in was fine. Requested a quiet room away from the lift,but actually, the lift was in the corridor adjacent to our bedroom. We were given a large room,with a lounge area, and bedroom. There is no window in the lounge, and there is no TV, so it's a pretty useless space. Bedroom had one small window that looked out onto a wall!! As a non-smoker, I picked up the smell of stale tobacco. I'm unsure as to whether it was in the furniture or the air-conditioning, but it was certainly there. For about an hour, I could hear loud clunky mechanical bangs, and it transpired it was the lift as it passed the 2nd floor. I called reception, and someone was sent to listen outside our door, not by the lift as I'd suggested. Then zilch. Nothing happened yet, but the noises obviously continued. Eventually, after 3 hours, I spoke with reception, and we were eventually moved. Each time we used the lift, this noise was more than apparent. When we checked out, we weren't asked if we had had a good stay. We were given the invoice. I'm not sure I'd stay again. As a side note, Marriott hotels (on Twitter ) were absolutely useless and didn't answer my final tweet.

We stayed at Hotel Nuevo Torreluz for 5 nights in September and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We stayed in a standard double room with breakfast included. Firstly, the location is fantastic if you are planning to explore the city on foot. It is located a 2-3 minute walk from one of the main street. There is a Carrefour Marketplace approx. 5 minute walk away. Key sites such as the cathedral, plaza de la constitution, civil war shelters and the casa del poeta are reachable within 5-10 minutes of walking. The tourist information centre is also nearby and is a helpful place to stop by at beginning of your visit to pick up a map. On arrival we were welcomed by the concierge who was friendly and helpful. The main room was basic but functional, there is a large wardrobe, table & chair, desk as well as a mini fridge and safe. There was no extra charge to use the safe which was a bonus. The bathroom was modern and clean. Overall, the room meet our needs well. Breakfast was continental, with guests serving themselves. There was a variety of options available from cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cakes to cold meats, bread and bacon, sausage & eggs. Hot drinks were available as well as fresh orange juice and water. We did not eat at the on-site restaurant (Taberna Nuevo Torreluz), instead we chose to eat out at various restaurants in the city. If you are looking for a good ice cream I'd recommend going to Alpino's, they had a great variety of flavours available and the scoop sizes were great. The beach was a 30 to 35 minute walk away, however, there is also a bus that leaves from the main street regularly. The beach is a mix of pebbles and sand. If travelling from the airport you can either get a bus and walk approx 10-15 minutes to hotel or get a 15 minute taxi. Overall, if you're looking for a good quality, clean and welcoming hotel in the centre of Almeria I would recommend staying here.

The hotel itself is amazing but: - Shower door did not close properly and therefore we got ”floods” everyday in the toilet. - Mosquitos: I do understand that we are in a ”wild” enviroment but it was amazing every time we open the curtain of the terrace how were falling many mosquitos. During the night, going to the toilet was an expirience as well. Too many mosquitos...they should try to do something with this. - Meals: they do not include beverage, its normal until you are charged 3'5€ for an opened bottle of water when they should serve or at least give the option to have it for free since the law says that. - Checkin: the girl of the counter just told us, ”hey scan this QR code and everything is explained”, why shall I download an app of the hotel? is it so hard to explain just in few second all the activities of the hotel? - Breakfast: Bakery quality worse than any other hotel I tried... Speaking about amenities hotel is perfect, big pools, nice decoration, buffet was ok and it has direct access to the beach. Its a pity that the service is not at Barcelo level standards.

Stayed here for 2 nights (should have been 4 but after the first night decided to return home early yesterday). Food was very disappointed in the both the buffet restaurant and the pool bar/tapas bar. A lot of the food in the buffet restaurant was cold, both in the evening and at breakfast. Very little choice for children. Very expensive (190 euros for 3 adults and 1 child). We ate in the Tapas bar in the second evening. Service okay and we got by with our limited Spanish! We were still waiting for our son’s food after we had finished eating. When it finally arrived ,he ordered a rack of ribs which consisted of 4 ribs and some chips. Not a vegetable or salad in sight (although think I was more bothered by that than him!) Live entertainment outside both evenings but for those with young children, it goes on until 11.30 so may not be ideal. It is in a very Spanish area with very little to do or visit outside of the hotel. Some cafes which are very well served by the Spanish locals. Beach location is great and you can walk along the beachfront for quite a way. Rooms are lovely and spacious although air conditioning didn’t work in the children’s room. My daughter left her shorts around the pool area although when we asked on departure they hadn’t been handed in. However, whilst we were waiting to depart at the airport we had a phone call from the hotel to say they had found them and would bring them to the airport. We were grateful to them for this.

A great spacious apartment. We only stayed for the 1 night and ate out mostly so didn't use all the kitchen facilities but there were plenty there. We used the fridge and kettle to make drinks. The location is City Centre along the main street which in the day was quite quiet but came alive at night, we had a room facing the back so didn't get much street noise but there was an apartment opposite to which there were rather x rated noises coming from for a few hours in the evening. The staff were super helpful when we checked-in and with request extending stays and keeping luggage safe for our late flight times.

Location is amazing and the parking is also really safe and private. Apartments are trendy with modern contemporary feel. Ceilings are 2 meters (14 feet) tall and very Airey feel. Great to be able to use a washer dryer half way thru a road trip as it cuts down on baggage. Bar on the roof is trendy and chic. However - don’t agree with them sending the public guests through the hotel to exit - defeats the security aspect completely and it’s annoying to hear a bunch of drunks rolling through the hotel at closing time. Aside from that it’s highly recommended.

After a pretty hectic couple of months, I decided to book a solo trip to Spain and after some searching, this hotel was the best price. However, I now understand why the hotel was such a low cost and TUI listing the hotel as 4* is laughable. Some aspects of the hotel are lovely (my room was nice and modern and the pool area is really nice) but everything else is bang average. The staff’s downright unpleasantness and hostility to English people is also something that I need to mention. During this week stay I have lost count of the amount of times that I have been completely blanked by members of staff when trying to order food and drink to a point where I’ve had to get up from my table and walk over to the bar area so they physically cannot ignore me. Spanish people, however, are served at their tables and quite clearly treated a lot better. I have worked in customer service roles my whole working life, and know for a fact that it is not difficult to be nice to people - Particularly people like me who are clearly travelling on their own. Another absolutely mental thing that just happened was that a short time before me typing this, I returned to my sun bed after popping to the toilet (I was gone for a max of ten mins.) on my sun bed was a note warning me not to leave my belongings or else the staff have a right to remove them if they are getting in the way of other guests??? Literally all of the beds around me bar one are completely empty!! I have been on a sun bed in the same area all week so the staff know that I get here early and stay here all day, so to receive this note is frankly quite nasty and underhanded. What would you like me to do, wee in the pool??? I have attached photos to this review showing the note as well as the empty beds around me. Overall, weather has been fab and it’s been lovely to have a relaxing break away. I wish, however, that I’d booked the Barcelo next door instead. Do better Cabogata Jardin.
