Just the sort of place we like for a short city break. We picked Catalunya Express as it was close to the rail station/sea. We had thought we’d arrive by airport bus to the bus station but the timetable wasn’t great so we got the bus to Reus and train two stops to Tarragona. The hotel is pretty much over the road. For us it was perfectly placed to walk up to the Rambla, along to the Old Town and across to the sea front/beach. There were little cafes and shops around it and restaurants too. It was ideal. Our room was as expected: small but adequate; good storage; good lighting; windows in both bedroom & bathroom which could be opened (there is air con too if needed); desk & chair; sockets by the bed; firm bed but comfortable for us; small but workable bathroom with hairdryer, free toiletries and a decent sized shower. The room was beautifully clean and refreshed daily. There are seating options outside the rooms should you to use them. We didn’t experience any excessive noise either from outside or fellow guests. We chose to take the hotel’s ‘continental’ breakfast which was very tasty and varied. Well worth paying for imo. The staff we interacted with were all so friendly and helpful, particularly the lady on reception (sorry we didn’t get her name) who provided a couple of things which perfected our stay. A map and directions given were also so helpful. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Not a dislike as such - but perhaps a small bar of hand soap could be provided in the bathroom.

Comfortable hotel with well furnished rooms. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Nice breakfast and lounge area. Near the train station which was useful to visit other places like Reus. In walking distance to the beach, town and port area which also had two museums and nice seafood restaurants. You could also get buses from the train station to go into the town to visit things like the cathedral, mercado and the Roman archaeological sites. Would stay here again!

Although the hotel provided shower gel, I didn't have any liquid soap for washing my hands.

I am 100% satisfied with my stay at Catalunya Express. The walk to the beach takes no more than 10 minutes, the beach is clean and beautiful. The rooms were spacious and cleaned every day. We had breakfast for 9 euros per person, it was delicious (not much variety, but I recommend it if you are looking for a cheap meal in the morning). Special thanks to the wavy-haired man, he was so friendly. Overall, 5/5, I will definitely recommend Catalunya Express to my friends.

The hotel is very near to train station and a few blocks from the underway passage to the port and beaches. Services were good and breakfast very complete.

The room (102) was a bit tight, and access to showers through stairs inside the bathroom felt unsafe.

The staff was really nice and friendly. Location is great, it's right next to the train station, and everything is close by. Also, the breakfast had a lot of options to choose from, and the food was really nice 😊

There was a construction work in the street where the hotel is located so it was pretty noisy and loud throughout the day but that doesn't depend on the hotel or the staff, it was just a circumstantial inconvenience.

Its a nice, quiet hotel in a great location extremely close to the beach and very close to the city center. Our room was quite small, but that was expected for what we paid! The staff is very nice and welcoming, gives you tips about how to get where. Parking is close by and you can get a card from the hotel (you need to pay for it). Definitely recommend!

There is nothing we didn't like. All expectations were met.

Enric the receptionist on our arrival and departure was very helpful and friendly, with a good sense of humour too. The room was comfortable and complete and the mattress supportive. Good location for the station and access to the Ramblas.

Nothing.
