Hotel Rey Carlos

Need new mattresses

Very hospitable staff who go the extra mile - had an issue with aircon and a maintenance guy came over as soon as possible. They then provided me with a temporary unit as the system took a while to regulate the room temp. Breakfast was very impressive too and my request for a quiet room was granted. I like superior rooms as it was more like an apartment so could cook there too if I wanted to and the hotel was very centrally located. Please thank your lovely staff

Been a few times so nothing new. Was pleasant. Does the job. Will prob be back

The best hotel!

The hotel is in a great location and has a lovely pool area which is in the direct sun for most of the day. I stayed in an ‘updated’ apartment which had a balcony overlooking the pool at the front of the hotel. The apartment was very large and offered most things I needed - a few extra touches were needed like washing up sponges and liquid and better shower gels etc. but otherwise the apartment was comfortable. I’ve downside is the noise from guests in the hallway/stairs and sofa area on the top of the stairs. The bedroom is directly next to this hallway and has single glazed slated windows it feels like the people are in the bedroom with you. This results in very early wake up’s with guests returning late from the bars/clubs and others dragging their cases early in the morning and chatting loudly. Buffet breakfast is offer at €10 per person and dinner is also a buffet at €16 per person. I did not try these options but they seemed good value for money

Paid for a superior renovated room which was fine except for the beds which were old and very uncomfortable. Food very good, lovely pool not too busy and great staff. Would stay again if they replaced the bed when renovating the rooms.

Perfect location - close to the dunes and restaurants, shops. Beautiful pool and well-kept area around. Nice and comfortable renovated room. Beautiful view from the balcony.

Worst beds ever. Why is there even a living room? Get better and bigger beds and use the extra space. Worst lighting ever, very dim. They could use eco bulbs with better lighting. Very shabby hotel.

Great Location, close to bus stop and lots of bars and restaurant. Hotel was clean, however room was only cleaned 1 day out our 3 night. Not sure if this is normal. 2 beds were joined up, but all i felt was springs! Suggest upgrading to the new renovated rooms. Very spacious and felt new . Pool are was great with enough sunbeds. Would stay here again.

Great value

I wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a very tight budget. Even the ‘refreshed’ rooms are tired and old. Mine stank of cigarettes. Was only ‘cleaned’ twice during my stay, and even then dirty towels were left lying in the bathroom (not even mine - ones they had used to wipe the floor!!).

On check in, desk staff do not speak any foreign language ( surprising for a destination that attracts English, French, German, . . . speaking guests year round. Rooms in terrible condition! - NO closets/dressers in bedroom, walls and ceiling deterioration plastered over (no finish paint) - Bathroom had terrible, constant odour of sewer gasses ( suspect incorrect /faulty plumbing). Maintenance/housekeeping staff would pour deodorizing compound down drains every day, which would last till we turned water on to wash or shower, or flushed toilet, then stench would come return. When we requested a re-location, we were informed that no other rooms available, and they would continue to deodorize drains to remedy. Kitchen appliances in terrible shape. Sink cracked, cooktop and counter damaged, fridge shelves missing, freezer door missing. Very limited utensils. Had to ask for knives, salad bowl and colander, soup bowls, dish cloths, cooking pot, frying pan. Decent food in restaurant buffet, but no variety (same food at every meal.

My experience at Rey Carlo has been a bit wild but the staff are faultless really nice and kind they go above and beyond to help with anything it's a lovely resort

Several light bulbs and light shades were missing and the shower didn’t really work. To resolve this I purchased light bulbs from the supermarket and attempted to clean the shower head; when that didn’t work I obtained a new shower head from a shop opposite the hotel for €3.50 which totally solved the issue. Small details but it did impact the quality of my stay!

I had a room that was not remodeled yet. It was very clean, cleaning service came every day except Sunday. Front desk staff was super nice and helpful. The hotel is close to Cita Shopping Center and about ten minutes from the beach. The pool area and bar were very nice. Just wish the bar was open, there also is a stage but no entertainment.

Huge flat to myself with a nice balcony, so great value for money. The cleaning was ok. Only twin beds, I would have preferred a double bed, but they seem to do things that way there. Nice wooden furniture everywhere. Some very friendly clerks (Alvaro was amazing!), some less interested. The pool was great outside too. The WiFi though was awful but I guess it must be hard in such a large place. But super happy in the end.

Very old and overpriced hotel. Maybe worth 3 stars. Location is not bad but far from the beach.

We liked the quirkiness of the castle theme. A little tired in the economy rooms but reflected in the price. Room was cleaned daily and all the staff were pleasant. My only problem was, as a non smoker, I noticed there were none ‘no smoking’ signs anywhere. We could constantly smell cigarettes in the room and the guests next door were constantly smoking weed on the balcony next to ours. Otherwise a pleasant stay

Didn't cater for dietry restrictions and no allergy labelling. When we asked a simple question about if there would be some pan con tomate like they had the prvoious morning the restaurant manger became aggressive and started shouting.

An old hotel slowly being modernised. Ideal place for local amenities and close to the beach. Food was acceptable and always hot. Great swimming pool. Standard rooms are dated so pay the extra for the premium room.
