Hotel Cartago Nova by Alegria

lets start with the good room was clean and great sea view . now the bad food poor and cold restaurant was dirty. food area hygiene was very poor there was only one salt and pepper container for the whole restaurant .staff very poor . no scale for checking your bags weight . no snacks at the pool bar. room cleaning staff ok . dogs barking at night in rooms . would not recommend this hotel . eat at the restaurant bad stomach and vomiting that night . so eat out the rest of the holiday

Stayed at this hotel 22/8 til 1/09…..stayed last year so thought I’d give it another go, anyhow please don’t bother spend your money on this hell hole…..we had to ask for bedding to be changed after a week, head man In restaurant horrible, vile & rude, thinks he owns the hotel….my daughters purse was punched out of her bag, reported it to receptionists & they don’t want to know, they won’t let you look at cctv which clearly has someone on it pinching purse….reckon it’s one of the staff myself, they didn’t want the police involved as bad for hotel……food is worse than basic, ate out more than eating hotel food….pictures on their website when booking are nothing like what they advertise so don’t believe them when you see them when booking…..basically if you English you don’t fit in at this hotel….DO NOT BOOK HERE🤬🤬🤬🤬

Good points first great location over road from beach you use a short subway to get to the beach because of the train line to Barcelona. Pool good but busy . Breakfast loads of choice . Bar reasonably priced for a hotel seating area outside great but inside a bit sp**** more like a kids room . Staff on reception very friendly and helpful also staff in restaurant. Room good cleaned every day fresh towels every day bathroom lovely big walk in shower. Plenty of nice bars and restaurants, supermarkets plenty of. Now for the disappointing bit . There is a disco in the basement that opens at 10pm every evening and closes between 5am and 6 am we were in the 4th floor and it sounded like it was in our room the thudding was loud and it got on our nerves every night. Don’t know what it was like for people on the lower floors . Then when it closes every one piles out into the street and it’s very noisy. Don’t get me wrong there was no trouble we’ve all been young and gone to discos but just didn’t want this every night in holiday . Other than that it was a pleasant holiday would definitely go back but would stay further down in the resort in Santa susanna which started 4 hotels down from Cartago nova xx

rooms- very decent for a 3 star hotel, better than expected and better than reviews say. modern bathroom and aircon. stayed on the 8th floor so could not hear the disco club next to hotel. food- average for a 3 star. overcooked eggs and cold beans, pancakes and cereals fine. staff friendly and polite no issues. pool quite small and overcrowded. struggle to get sunbed unless first one down. only downside was this was a prime spot where carers bring disabled people. might sound harsh and not really an issue but we had 20+ disabled people at the hotel screaming and hitting themselves in the face. not really what you want to hear or see when you’ve come for a break in the sun. overall the reviews are harsh. not bad hotel to stay in for a cheap break away. i would probably stay in lloret de mar next time which is 30 mins 30euro taxi away. beach very close , train station 20 min walk.
