I struggled with settling on a number for this review…read more Hotel Carlemany has a lot going for it - great location, impressive modern facade, large spacious and comfortable rooms with good air conditioning and Wi-Fi. However, for a 4* hotel, it fell a little short of my expectations. The front door of the bright impressive modern facade (5) led to a somewhat disappointing dark and rather dated looking interior (3). There was no pomp or ceremony about our arrival. The usual welcome chat and map of the city etc. were conspicuous by their absence (3 again), although perhaps this is more of a business hotel (maybe a 4). The room was spacious and overlooked the pretty square to the front. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi were excellent. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was big and clean (maybe a 4). The staff at reception were very helpful with any requests (yes definitely a good 4). Breakfast was the deciding factor. The breakfast room was prepared with care. Tables dressed in clean white linens and polished silverware. There was a reasonable selection of juices, breads, pastries, cold meats, cereals and yoghurts. However, the "hot" food offerings really let the breakfast down. There was a selection of beans, scrambled eggs, sausages and Spanish Omelette under a hood, but they were all cold and very unappetising. On the first day of our stay, I thought maybe we had caught them on a bad day and that the following day would be better. Unfortunately, there was no change on the following day. The same "hot" food left to go cold. There was no sense of it being consumed or replenished regularly as you might expect at a busy hotel breakfast. (Maybe a 3 again) Overall, I settled on a 3.5. A 4*or 5* rating has a tendency to focus the mind on the negatives of a hotel while a lower rating encourages focusing on the positives. I enjoyed our stay and had it not been a 4* hotel, I'm sure I would have reviewed it more favourably. With a little extra effort, Carlemany could be a great hotel.

We stayed here for three nights as I was in Girona for business. Loved it. Hotel very up to date…read morewith bar/bistro with outside dining, cafe and lovely atrium for breakfast. Helpful staff. Parking garage below with elevator access. In the middle of town but quiet at night. Good shopping around the area. But you can't beat the location, you can walk to anything in the city. Historic district, restaurants , train station three blocks away (picked up rental car there). It was a really good home for three days. My wife was able to sightsee and shop to her heart's content. We really enjoyed our stay.

This place is soooooo beautiful I'm surprised there aren't 100 photos posted! It's an amazing…read moregarden setting with a lot of different plants, flowers, beautiful lighting, and whimsical decor. There is indoor seating as well with quirky decorations everywhere. The price fix menu for lunch was 23E, including bread and water, 2 courses and dessert. I had a fig salad, salmon with rice, and cream Catalon....all beautifully presented and delicious. Reading another review someone mentioned the lack of multilingual service. I'm not sure why anyone would expect any server to speak several languages. I am traveling with my small dog, barely speak any Spanish, let alone Castilian Spanish, and I ordered food just fine and received excellent service! I highly recommend El Pati!!!

I'v been there in the Years 1996, 2002 and 2006. Each time i was amazed by the wonderful ambiente…read morewith the big garden and dreamlike atmosphere. The menus were always of high quality, but over the years there was no developement to see, that the management of the hotel/restaurant was trying to improve the service so that international guests with minor spanish knowledge feel more welcome. After reading a comment from 2009 in another forum, the service even seems to have decreased in performance I will for sure visit this lovely place a fourth time, but will watch closely, if the critics may be right. But on a nice summer evening there seems to be no better place for a nice dinner in Catalunya

As of 10/25, the renovation of this hotel is still underway. The rooms are fine, Like a Holiday…read moreInn at home. The location is 7 minutes walk to old town, which is the main event here. It has parking but is a 15 minute walk to train station. A highlight is the roof deck bar/cafe which is a hit with locals as well as guests. Great launch point for biking groups which was out MO

A bit overpriced but the rooftop bar is great, it's a fantastic location, and service was beautiful.read more

As most of the other reviews indicate, if you book a room here you won't be disappointed…read more Spacious, modern and clean rooms. The bathrooms have great water pressure, plenty of hot water, and a bidet. We booked the family suite (I think there are only 3 of them) for our family (2 adults, 15 yo and 19 yo) and didn't feel cramped. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach or old town, and not so close to the bars that noise is a problem. Staff was both pleasant and helpful. The rooftop pool and bar is a nice retreat from the crowds and offers sweeping views of Tossa de Mar. Finally, the breakfast buffet is elegant and delicious, offering fresh eggs, waffles, smoked salmon, croissants, Nespresso machine, etc. If we ever return to Tossa we'd definitely stay at Hotel Delfin.

Fantastic hotel in center of everything. Went to old town, the beaches and visited everywhere…read more Rooms were spacious and service was simply incredible. Make sure you try the breakfasts, great start to the busy day in Costa Brava

Found this hotel looking at Google maps. Booked it for one night in Sept. Upgraded to ocean view…read moresuite. Highly recommend paying the extra 20-30 Euro for that (more in high season I am sure). Room was clean. Excellent design and layout. Very large. As some people have pointed out, carpet was a little dated. Oceanfront bar and restaurant is great. Can't beat the location. Breakfast included with the room was the best we had at any of the 4 different hotels we stayed at. Would definitely come back. Only negative things is no onsite parking (it is ocean front in dense area) so you have to get a card from the front desk and park in the municipal lot a few blocks away. Did not see that on the website. We spent an hour in the spa which was pretty nice but really not the reason why we liked this place so much. Location on the beach, large, comfortable, clean room, great breakfast were more important.
