Costa del Maresme, Catalonia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Super clean room with all of the necessary amenities. Location is terrific if you want to walk Mataró or take the train to Barcelona or Girona. We were there in the winter so can't speak to the crowds of summer but plenty was open and there are lots of options for food nearby. Just be aware that there is free parking for only 30 min. inside the marina gates but then you can go onto the nearby street and park for free. The spa, although a little pricey, is an exceptional treat. "

"El personal fue increíblemente amable, profesional y simpático. La habitación siempre estaba limpia. Tuve la mejor experiencia en Badalona, ​​España. Me encantó que hablaran español, que es mi idioma principal. Me impresionó mucho la cantidad de idiomas que hablaban. The staff was incredibly nice and professional and friendly. The room was always cleaned. I had the best experience in Badalona, Spain. I loved that they spoke Spanish which is my main language that I speak. I was very impressed by how many languages they spoke. "

"Self catering apartment. Apartment was in the annex building which is at the back of the main hotel. Difficult finding in the dark as annex has a different name to main hotel! Apartment clean, had everything we needed. Kettle, toaster, hob and utensils for basic meals but ate out most nights. Pool freezing but was end of October. Ok once you’re in!! Very enjoyable stay"

"Easy walking to local restaurants "

"Good location"

"Excellent staff work and clean room and facilities."

"Clean room, friendly staff. Close to th sea."

"The hotel is stunning — spacious, modern rooms, great bars and restaurants, and a fantastic pool area. However, there are a few drawbacks: there’s no beach access (areal photos are misleading), and frequent corporate events with loud music often go on until midnight, which can spoil the atmosphere. The breakfast buffet is extensive, but the quality doesn’t fully match a true 5-star standard. Overall, an impressive place, just not ideal if you’re after quiet relaxation."

"Great customer service !"
