Espanya - 30º Hotels

If you’ve ever wondered what your neighbors are up to at all hours, I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here. The walls are so thin that you’ll feel like you’re living inside a set of walkie-talkies. Every cough, giggle, and snore floats through like you’re in a real-life surround-sound experience. And that’s just the start. Onto the “bedding” situation, or should I say the “blanket dilemma.” Apparently, in this hotel, duvets are as mythical as unicorns. Instead, they’ve provided blankets, which do about as much for warmth as a sheet of paper would in a snowstorm. I’d sooner sleep in a parka than go through another night with those flimsy things. Cozy? Not in this lifetime. Ah, the food! Dinner was a buffet, technically, though I’d argue the definition was stretched to its limit. The spread was as uninspired as it was tasteless. Breakfast had a few more highlights, but let’s not get carried away—it’s clear the culinary department has room for improvement. Oh, and we had to pay for water at dinner, while wine was free. That’s right—stay hydrated only if your wallet allows it. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? The kicker: one staff member in the restaurant was so grumpy that I felt like I’d personally ruined their day just by asking for salt. But, let’s be fair. The reception staff? Absolute gems. Friendly, helpful, and ready to assist at every turn. The air conditioning also worked well, which was much appreciated in a place where tempers (and temperatures) seemed to run high. And last but not least: the aroma. At certain hours, a faint (or not-so-faint) whiff of sewerage wafted through the hallways, adding an “authentic” touch to the experience. Eau de Kloakk, anyone? In conclusion, this hotel experience is best enjoyed if you’re an insomniac with low culinary standards, a love of blankets that double as handkerchiefs, and a taste for adventure in unexpected scents.

Do not be put off by poor reviews. This hotel is in a great location, right opposite to a fantastic beach, 8 minute walk to the railway station, and a few minutes from the main shopping area. There is a really good local supermarket (Consum) a few minutes away, used by locals and very reasonable. The hotel is small and not surrounded by the larger hotels. Our room was overlooking the courtyard and the balcony enjoyed the sun all afternoon and evening. The rooms are very simple yet clean. Adequate for sleeping and a well equipped bathroom. The staff were very good, they immediately sorted our air conditioner as it was not working on arrival. The price paid for August was unbelievably cheap. Hotel had a range of guests of all ages and from various locations. Not many English guests which made us feel like we were actually abroad. The lobby and restaurant area are kept to a high standard. The food at breakfast and dinner was really quite impressive. Fish and seafood on most nights, cooked freshly and plentiful. Food is constantly replenished. Breakfast catered for every need. We travel regularly and must admit that the standard of food is in our top 5. Take the train to Girona and Barcelona, great service and only £10 each.

We stayed here from 07/09/24 - 14/09/24. Had a great stay at Hotel Espanya. Was our first trip away on our own, without kids, for 21 years, and this hotel made it all the more special. The hotel itself, has a great location, close to the beach (3 minute walk), train station on a 5 minute walk, and just around the corner from the main shopping area. Great location for couples and those who want a more laid back break, no larger louts, or party animals at this location. The hotel itself, is a nice peaceful hotel, popular with both young and older guests. The room we had was very clean, but basic, consisting of twin beds, pushed together, table, bedside units, air con, bath and shower, and small balcony, tv and hair dryer. We were happy enough. The restaurant, dining area was large, with plenty to chose from. We chose half board, (breakfast and dinner), and there was always a great selection of fruit, salads, cereals, bakery (wonderful), cooked meals, always something different to choose from, juices, and tea and coffee, you can also choose from drinks at the bar, to go with your dinner. The bar had a great selection of drinks, and they always offered a special discount different cocktail every night, at a cost of 6 euros. You had the choice to sit inside, or in the beer garden. There was an Argentinian guy who comes and performs with a guitar and singing, every Saturday night. He has a great selection of music, and always gets the audience to participate with him, and has a karaoke screen available . Fantastic entertainment. A special mention to all the staff, who were so so friendly, including those who were always keeping the place clean. Rooms were cleaned every day, and towels always changed too. A special mention to the Barman, who's name I forgot. Anna, who seemed to do every job available , and was always there from morning to night, and Ariana, on reception, who was so friendly, and also the other reception staff. Also forgot to mention, you can get beach towels and parasol, for the beach, at no extra cost, from reception. They ask for a card number, for security,the first time you ask for the towels, but no cost taken. You can also rent sun loungers, and parasol for two, at a cost of 14 euros. They give you a ticket to give to the guy on the beach, that organised the loungers. He wasn't very pleasant, to be honest, even though we tried to be pleasant to him. Don't think he has anything to do with the hotel itself. Also the beach bar Xiri 9 opposite the hotel, was also a joy, great selection of food, and drinks and cocktails galore, to get refreshed on the warm day. All and all, a great holiday, at a great hotel. Would highly recommend this hotel, and will no doubt be back again. Thank you 30 Degrees Hotel Espanya

One of the nicest hotels in Calella. It has perfect sea-view, good food (not too many but very tasty), clean and comfy rooms, nice rooftop pool and lounge area. Close to train station (max.10 minutes' walk) and city center (shops, bars). Price-quality definitely worth it. We will surely come back. If we did not have plane tickets, we would have stayed more.

The hotel was lovely and Clean. Everything except the cafeteria (which could do with getting more comfortable chairs) was modern. All members of staff were attentive and caring - very helpful and would do anything for you. The Hotel is situated in such an ideal location, in front of the beach, with a beach bar opposite, local bars, resturants and shops around the hotel and only a 5 minute walk from the train station which will take you directly to Barcelona city. The town has a lovely ‘homely’ vibe and the hotel felt very safe. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back! Gracias!
