Hotel berhampiran Playa La Calilla, Metropolitana De Almeria

Muy normal tirando a cutre, con el precio que tiene me esperaba otra cosa. Nos han comido los mosquitos, el techo de la habitación lleno de manchas de sangre de mosquitos muertos. Lo comento a la recepcionista y me dice que en recepción tenían enchufes antimisquito que lo hubiera pedido. Al llegar a la habitación en la nevera nos encontramos una bolsa de salchichas empezada y una pera de otros clientes. En la reserva llevábamos un detalle de bienvenida, que no era otro que dos palmeritas pequeñitas de las que van sueltas sin plastificar ni nada, puestas en un plato desde p la mañana en el comodín de la habitación y con más de 100 hormigas bailando encima. Increíble. En la zona de la piscina nada que ver con las fotos, preguntamos días antes si la piscina estaba funcionando y nos respondieron que si, pues no estaba al 100% pq la cascada apagada y las camas balinesas sin montar solo la madera ni colchonetas ni dosel ni nada. Decepcionada totalmente.

We stayed at the hotel from Saturday 16th September for 14 days. The hotel is in an ideal position within easy walking distance to a few shops and bars and just across the road from the beautiful beach. Our room was on the sixth floor and had a side sea view. The room definitely is in need of a refurbishment as the floors and furnishings are somewhat shabby. There was two large beds in the room which we found to be comfortable. Air conditioning was good (once we got the hang of it). Large balcony which was over the main entrance. Large groups of Spanish walkers congregated outside in the morning all shouting (not talking) and laughing loudly before setting off. Hotel caters mainly for Spanish, nothing wrong with that, after all it is in Spain. The food in the newly refurbished restaurant (very smartly done) was excellent with lots of choice, both at breakfast and dinner. Our only complaint was the noise, lots of children running around the restaurant without correction or supervision by their parents and lots of loud talking (almost at shouting level). The first week was relatively quiet at meal times but as the second week progressed more and more guests arrived and therefore more noise. There was entertainment in the hotel, we did not stay to see any of it as we have family in the area and spent our time socializing with them. All in all a good experience and we would use the hotel again when visiting Mojacar.

A lovely hotel on the centre of Almeria and within walking distance of the sights. Plenty of bars, cafés and restaurants near by. The hotel itself was beautifully clean and tidy. The breakfasts were very good. A lovely sun deck and swimming / plunge pool.

Es un hostal con muy buena relación calidad-precio. Está limpísimo y las camas son comoísimas. El personal (especialmente Rocía y María) es muy amable y te ponen facilidades para todo. Destacaría la piscina, abierta de 07.00 a 23.00 horas. Es muy agradable y útil los días que no te apetece ir a la playa. Sin duda, muy buena opción para alojarse en San José. Está cerca del centro y un precio muy ajustado. Altamente recomendable.

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.
