Hotel Papi is a charming mini resort that made for a great family stay. Our children enjoyed exploring the safe grounds, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. There were daily activities for both kids and adults, and karaoke night was especially fun, with everyone handed a microphone to sing along.
The rooms were clean, but the beds were quite small for a family of four (three adults and a child). Thankfully, we had booked two rooms, which made our stay much more comfortable, and it was still a great value. Note that two full-size beds are pushed together to form a king, so space can feel tight.
The balcony faced other buildings rather than the pool, but it was fine. The front desk staff were helpful and provided great local tips. Breakfast was a highlight, with both fresh and pre-made options, a great way to start the day.
The beach nearby was rocky, making it difficult to get in and out of the water. Much of the coastline seemed to be the same. We took a short metro ride, about 10 minutes, to San Pol, a beautiful nearby beach town that felt like an oasis.
The hotel is about two hours from Barcelona’s El Prat Airport (BCN), and a taxi costs around $250. We opted for the metro, which was tiring but gave us a more local experience.
Hotel Papi wasn’t crowded and attracted both locals and international guests. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay outside the hustle of Barcelona, we definitely recommend it.

My flight was cancelled after my arrival to the airport due to ATC strikes. I immediately called the property and asked to cancel my reservation and for a refund since this was completely out of my control. They requested me to go through the booking agency, which I did. They still refused to even partly refund me for a package over $800 (including rental). Truly frustrating and disheartening for a service I did not receive and again was out of my control.

Not a 4 star hotel-expirience
The hotel was previous a 3 star hotel and many of the hotels features still have 3 stars writen on them and only have 3 star quality
The restaurant was really below standard - the quality and hygiene was very low in the restaurant and the open kitchen.
The rooms was missing some things that you would expect for a 4 star hotel. No holder for the toiletpaper, no handsoup in the bathroom, no bedside tables and plastic chair in the room.
As a silver member a bottle of wine was suppose to be included in the room but was not and staff had no idea about this promotion
The staff was somewhat friendly and a positive for the stay but still the hotel should be rated at maximum 3 stars - unfortunalty the rating on the restaurant should be even lower

Ungemütlich
Zimmer: die Matratzen sind für mich furchtbar unbequem. Die Kissen sind so hoch, dass man nicht darauf liegen kann, ohne eine Genick Schmerzen zu bekommen. Habe fast nicht schlafen können. Im Zimmer gab es nur einen Vorhang, aber keinen Verdunkelung Vorhang.
Die Klimaanlage wird morgens in der Reinigung noch das Personal ausgeschalten. Also angekommen sind hat das Zimmer 29° und die Klimaanlage hat nicht funktioniert. Nachdem ich mich in der Rezeption gemeldet hatte, wurde etwas eingeschalten und sie funktioniert dann sehr sehr langsam. In der Toilette gab es nicht mal einen Toilettenrollen Halter, und die Klopapierrolle wurde einfach auf den Wassertank der Toilette gestellt.

Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde
Hyvä hinta-laatusuhde, palvelu oli hyvää ja ravintoloissa jopa erinomaista. Ilmastointi ei ollut käytössä enää syyskuun lopussa, öisin oli välillä kuuma. Allasvesi kylmää, kuten lähes kaikissa hotelleissa täällä. Ruoka ihan maukasta.

Hôtel situé à 5min à pieds de la plage et des commerces. Bien entretenu et propre, la piscine est agréable avec le bar, dommage qu’il n’y ai pas plus de transats disponibles (ou que les gens les réserve depuis le matin). Peu de personnel parle bien francais, privilégier l’espagnol ou l’anglais

4 estrellas en todo menos la cena
El hotel está muy bien por sus habitaciones, instalaciones y distancia con la estación de tren de Malgrat, pero no recomiendo para nada el buffet de cena, no tiene variedad, soso, seco y sin sabor; realmente es una pena que un hotel tan bonito ofrezca una cena tan deplorable.

En el mismo recinto hay un 4 estrellas y un 3. Nosotros pagamos el de 4 y nos pusieron en el de 3.
Al ir a reclamar nos dijeron que era el de 4 y como ya habíamos ido anteriormente a este hotel, no nos pudieron engañar, con lo cual la chica dijo que laa habitaciones de 3 y de 4 son iguales, que no es cierto.
Hemos ido 3 veces pero con lo comentado anteriormente, no volveremos más.

Hôtel agréable dans l’ensemble .
Chambre assez spacieuse , salle de bains avec douche italienne correcte .
Seul petit bémol un drap était taché mais assez rapide pour le changer .
Et le parking était complet mais on a trouvé de la place à 50 mètres de l’hôtel .
