Family-friendly Hotels in Tarragona

Hotel was in a great location, close to the beach, train station and lots of cafes/shops / restaurants. Everything was walkable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful - eventhough we speak very limited spanish. Pastries and bottled water were provided each morning and there were tea and coffee facilities in the lobby. The hotel air conditioning was really strong, we never felt too hot overnight and the room was very clean and well presented!

The rooms are tiny. Paper thin walls. No bathroom door. Just a swinging glass door. Anything that happens in the bathroom is heard throughout the room. No in room coffee. If you are used to AC Marriott levels of service you will be disappointed here. We booked a family room for our family of three. We requested a higher level floor corner with a view. We received confirmation that the hotel would do everything they could to accommodate our request. The room they gave us was interior with a view of a brick wall and it was so small the three of us could barely stand at the same time, and no place to sit just on the bed. When I asked about them accommodating our request they told me that the people that respond to specific requests have no idea what types of rooms are available in the hotel. The reception staff was friendly yet very novice and did not understand the concept of taking care of the guest. I requested ice to take to our room and 15 minutes later, while waiting in the lobby, I received a little bucket with eight cubes of ice and was told the charge would be one euro for the ice. There was no manager on duty. Reception staff told me that this Hotel is for individual business travelers, not families. This is true. We had to purchase an additional room at full price to accommodate our son. The family room is not large enough to accommodate three people comfortably. We will not be staying here again and will be very hesitant about booking accommodations with AC Marriott again…

We had the normal suite. The room was very big and spacious but very basic and boring. In the room there is 2 extra beds (bunk bed) in case you are with children. The location was perfect. It was close to the centre and next to the hotel was a bus station. The room had a “food” smell the moment we enter. The smell didn’t went away even when we opened the windows. The shower head was broken, a lot of dust under the bed, the phone didn’t work so we couldn’t call the receptionist. To top it off the air conditioner didn’t work. We called to inform about this issue and they told is they will come to see what is the problem. They never came. We slept really bad. When we did the checkout we told them again. The only thing they say was that they were sorry. For the price for one night i expected much more. We are happy we stayed just for one night. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

A year later, and I'm back for about ten days, and everything I wrote in my review a year ago remains true. I'm very fond of Tarragona, but much of my affection is because of the Lauria. I have stayed in the hotel section twice and the apartments section four or five times in the past several years, and still I marvel at the combination of location, value, quality of accommodations, and most of the all the staff: from management to reception to housekeeping to ”breakfast supervisors,” these folks do a really great job, courteously, professionally. (I am baffled by the couple of reviewers who felt otherwise, and encourage TA readers to look at the pattern of reviews rather than the outliers. Love it, again, still.

While this hotel has a good rate and some ok aspects to it (relatively clean room, convenient parking garage across the street), there are many issues with it otherwise. The receptionist wasn’t very friendly or helpful at the start… that didn’t bode well. I had to do a couple hours of work as soon as I got to my room and quickly realized that the WiFi signal didn’t reach my room - bear in mind I was only on the second floor of about six floors! So I couldn’t use the internet which, obviously, is pretty important for most work these days. I even tried to do some work with my computer just outside my room but the signal was poor even in the halls ways. And to make matters worse, the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this is a non-smoking hotel! So I decide to do my work in the lobby. I end up having dinner there and order a pasta dish. No joke, the top half of the pasta was warm and the bottom part was cold. Did they just throw it into a microwave? It was pretty disappointing. In terms of the room itself, it was spacious and the bed was comfortable enough but when I went to take a shower, not only would the water not drain properly - creating an ever-growing pool of water on the shower floor - but the temperature was all wonky. It went from slightly warm to searing hot… again, not ideal. I’m a pretty easy-going traveler and for this price, I shouldn’t really complain BUT this city did seem to have plenty of options in the price range so maybe it’s best to try another spot unless you have a good reason to want to stay in this particular location.

This hotel deserves every accolade it is given. Small and fairly basic in fairness but run with passion by a couple that really care about what they do. This hotel surpasses many that charge twice the price. We were in room 17 on the 1st floor. It was quiet, immaculately clean and felt very safe. Xavi the owner, gave us as much info as we could ever need and even took the time to actually show us the way to the cheaper car park. Little things mean such a lot and definitely differentiates a hotel from its competition The hotel is centrally located and handy for everything.

We stayed here for 1 night in June of 2022. The people working the front desk were very friendly and nice. Our rooms were okay - nothing great, nothing bad, just a nice place to sleep for a night. The good - there was an elevator. The bad - the A/C was working but not as cool as we are used to. I would have liked it to be a bit cooler. There was parking but it was first come first serve (about 10 spots). We checked in right away at about 4:00 and then kept our car there in the parking lot as we didn't want to lose the spot. We walked around the hotel a bit & it looked like on street parking was very full. So we were very glad to have our car parked and it was an added bonus that the hotel & parking was behind a gate you had to be let in to access. Made us feel very secure. There was a nice small grocery store within a block so we walked down & got some supplies we needed. That night we ate supper at the attached restaurant and were very happy with it. Again, the people working there were super nice and helpful. Their menu was in pictures and in English so that helped. Our son had cuddlefish and loved it. I had beef and although it was different than steak in the States, it was very good. We also had breakfast in the morning at the attached restaurant and it was also very nice. A very typical Spanish hotel breakfast - fruit, lunch meats, cheese and breads. All in all a great 1 night stay while we visited Tarragona.

ATENCION NEFASTA POR PARTE DE LA SRTA. PRISCILA DE RECEPCION. Estancia de 1 noche con niña de 11 años. Llegamos el dia 11 de Julio desde Portaventura, y estábamos tan cansados que simplemente fuimos a cenar en el mismo hotel, y luego directamente a dormir. Al día siguiente cuando nos despertamos ya para marchar , mire debajo de la cama por si la niña se le había caído alguna cosa, y encontramos ropa de otro cliente, confetis, 3 globos , y mucha suciedad. Bajamos a recepción, y la Srta.Priscila estaba al tlf. con el informático (lo deducimos porque luego de un buen rato cuando le dio la gana a ella, la escuchamos darle la clave para conexión remota) , nos miro, y dijo Check out?¿ le dijimos si, pero queremos hablar con usted..... Eso ya no le gustó ............. nos dejo esperando un buen rato..... ... Claro nos vio con el globo que le bajamos y con cara de disgusto... e iba alargando la conversación, hasta que le volvimos a repetir... nos puede atender porfavor... y de malas maneras al final nos atendió.... Primera respuesta suya al decirle las cosas... Porque no lo dijeron ayer?¿ y le contestamos que porque normalmente cuando llego a un hotel no me pongo a mirar debajo de las camas...(quizás a partir de ahora lo haga) y que porque era tarde ”veníamos reventados de port Aventura”....... .... Pues ella en lugar de pedir disculpas, ya que en ningún momento tuvo la educación y humildad de hacerlo..... su actitud fue altiva, ofensiva (simplemente con la mirada y actitud que tenia).... y con ganas de perjudicar y alargar la situación en lugar de solventarlo rápidamente.... Por su mala educación le pedi una hoja de reclamaciones... y como nunca he puesto ninguna... le pregunte: - Es una hoja de reclamación? y su respuesta fue .... ACASO NO LO VE? Como no voy a cabrearme ademas, de que me encuentro una habitación sucia, te encuentras con un personaje así ?¿? y si es verdad... que yo le conteste... ERES UNA MALEDUCADA.... y la estupenda Srta.Priscila... enseguida me contesto... pues igual que usted..... Pero Aver Señores propietarios del hotel... o bien es su hija esta chica, y no han podido colocarla en otro sitio a trabajar... o deverdad miren bien el tipo de personaje que tienen delante de una recepción..... Luego a la hora de entregarle la reclamación..... Priscila seguía al tlf. como si nada, y le digo.. perdona ya hemos terminado , y nos contesto... PUES ESPERAN A QUE YO TERMINE AL TLF.. es decir seguir provocando un malestar.... sin ningún sentido... y ademas tiene las santas narices, de contestarme en la reclamación que la insultamos... Perdona Priscila a ti nadie te insultó... lo que pasa que no sirves para estar en una recepción, es una vergüenza que un establecimiento así... con lo que cuesta llenar hoteles , tenga un personaje así al frente de una recepción..... Pagamos 94 euros... ok yo lo escogí por vuestra pagina web, sin desayuno , hasta aquí estamos deacuerdo... pero que me encuentre ropa , confetis, globos , y que ademas cuando ba

Un hotel tranquilo,cómodo nada estridente con pequeños encantos y agradables detalles dispersos que vas descubriendo poco a poco.Esta bien situado, y todo el tiene -como podría describirlo-, una sencilla elegancia e informalidad que produce relax a sus alojados, te situes donde te situes. El personal es agradable. Destaco la decoración y ambientes, con detalles que en mi opinion son exquisitos, algunos hasta curiosos y sorpresivos. Guardan en slgun lugar a la vista una de esas centralitas telefónicas de antes. Consejo: desayunen sin prisas contemplando la piscina mientras oyen a Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, o Dina Washington.
