Cala d'Aigua Xelida Tours

Great hotel and good value

We rented 2 bedroom apartment and spent 4 nights. We really enjoyed our stay. Having 2 separate rooms made it easier to adjust sleep schedules and deal with the jet lag. Location was great. Surrounding area seemed upscale and felt very safe. It was a bit of a walk to gothic quarters but was happy that I chose this area as there were constructions going on at La Rambla street. Staff were wonderful. This place has the best of both apartment and hotel. It has a full size kitchen and washer but you can also have access to hotel breakfast next door at Sixty Two for a small fee and has access to front desk staff at Sixty Two 24/7. Breakfast was wonderful and very convenient. Highly recommend the place.

The Lamaro is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location in the gothic quarter. The front desk staff seemed overwhelmed at times. The elevators were small and wait times for them were lengthy, at times. My room was pleasant but I had a view of a wall. In my opinion, the property is not a 5 star hotel. The towels were extremely hard and I couldn’t figure out how to get the coffee machine in my room to work. There is a rooftop bar with a stunning view of the cathedral and city. Overall it’s a lovely hotel, but I guess I was expecting a little more for $400 US a night.
