Hotel Gran Sol

i had a great time....the hotel employees are so helpful.....a special thanks to Maggie for being so helpful....get ready for a workout climbing stairs and the hill to get to the hotel....beautiful views

Great spot close to the water and walkable to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. Bathroom was a little small but that’s the only issue we had.

Great staff. Very helpful.

Very good hotel

The Staff where very friendly and helpful good location

The restaurant is fantastic and as the hotel is a university training center, it has outstanding service.

Very nice hotel, very pleasant staff, The only problem , The hotel is dog friendly, but you cannot go in the restaurant for a meal, you can only have a snack

Property old, but location and balcony view beautiful.

we booked a standard room. the view of the room was the sea. nice sunrise! the room was on 2nd floor. Good things: there is free parking. however it is nearly the yard of hotel and it is not guarded but it is good to have the car in the yard of the hotel for free. the price was good. the restaurant has a fantastic view! also the breakfast is comprehensive and you have alot of options with a very nice staff. the toilets in the room was clean and nearly renovated. there was also travel shampoo for guests. bad things: the room was very basic. there is not any fridge or kettle or anything (maybe in upgraded rooms you can find them.) the room it self was not so clean but it was nearly comparable to the price. hair dryer was working but it was dirty. there is ac in the room but it's power is cut. also there is a radiotor works by central heating. so nearly there is not any option to control the temperature. overall: absolutely comparable to the price. in my opinion based on the free parking, breakfast and view, it worth it. maybe it is worthing to pay a bit more for the upgraded room if you need to stay more than 1 night.

You cannot make a first impression twice - the receptionists certainly are not people who make you feel welcome nor are they helpful. No welcome Sir/Madam, can I have you passports - just a grunt and a snort. No welcome water. It is a farce that this hotel is actually a school for Hotel Management lol!! You cannot get a taxi in the morning but the receptionist failed to mention the ease of the train close by, having managed to find a taxi for €50 for less than 2kms. The rooms are dated, bathrooms disgusting, air condition temperamental and dirty, no security on the patio doors, beds and linen cheap and uncomfortable. Be advised the restaurant is a training camp for the school.... breakfast was marred by the fact the smoking area is directly outside the door and thus you have a smell of cigarettes. I could continue but having read previous reviews and seen that the state of the hotel has been like this for a while, the owners and management are not interested.

The location was not as we expected, view is not as good as the photo's. And you have to have good legs to walk to the beach. The staff is very kind and helpful. That s the reason we left with a happy face.

Great location clean could do with a renovation.

This is a student run hotel. We didn't know before arrival. Students very pleasant and tried hard. Problem was the noise. Lots of laughter and talking into the early hours - sounded like a school playground. So difficult to get to sleep. Restaurant - waitresses very good but too many of them (more than guests most of time) had little to do so everything rushed as they watching and plates removed the instant you stopped eating. No wine glasses on table - no wine list - only drink offered was water. Food - buffet starter good - main course choice 2 fish -1 meat. We chose beef grilled - full of fat and tough which had small spoon of mashed potato with it the whole course was cold as if been sitting around for some time before serving. Would have sent it back but didn't want fish and didn't want another tough piece of meat. Very disappointed. Rooms have no sound proofing - guests in next room sounded like they in same room as us when they were talking and when they went to sleep the man's snoring was so loud. The description says sea view from balcony but neglects to say a row of apartments are between the hotel and the sea. The roof of the apartments are lower than the balcony from the rooms so you can see the sea but when you look down you just see ugly roof terraces of the apartments. Would never go back to this hotel. Very disappointing and for the money charged would expect better.

Location was excellent, overlooking the sea, near a number of beaches. Beside the train station, 5 min walk, up a bit of a hill. Trainee waiters as it is attached to a University, food excellent value. Excellent 3 star Hotel

This is an old hotel that has just got a recent lick of paint. The furnishings are still old . The hairdryer was wall mounted and like something from the 1950’s (you could dry your hair faster by blowing on it!) the fridge did not very well (icy on the top but not cold at the bottom). When my daughter tried to have a shower there was no hot water and she had to have a cold one after her trip to the beach. The breakfast is very basic (although they did cook eggs for us when we asked). We will not return and can’t recommend it.

Not many choices of hotels here. In fact may be the only hotel. Just know that to get to the beach it’s about 90 steps. Clean. Nice people. It’s a teaching hotel so lots of students but all quiet and nice. There is a lift. Stayed 3 nights. All rooms have an ocean view with a patio. They even have a refrigerator which is not always the case in Spain and complimentary soda and water. Sweet village.

Lovely beach in an attractive, unspoilt small town. A small number of places to have food and drink - all good and pleasant. Hotel pool a dream and restaurant real quality.

hotel room sliding door to balcony was shattered; stains in sink; shower had black mold; most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept on.

Perfectly located hotel in quiet town with superb evening restaurant. Wonderful beach and great coastal railway links to Barcelona and Gerona. On site free parking.

Nice little hotel with a good value for the money. The facilities might need renovations, specially the beds. Hotel staff super friendly, thanks to wonderful Elena for making my check in/check out really pleasing.
