Hotel Catalonia Las Vegas

The hotel may give the impression of being 4 star from the outside, it is nowhere near that standard, perhaps 2 star at best. The building is shabby and in need of refurbishing. In addition, while the reception desk staff are very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable, those running the restaurant need to be sorted out. The hot food is only ever lukewarm, one morning the sausages were raw. The food is nothing special, the only good thing about it is the all you can eat buffet, provided you warm it up in the microwave oven. At evening meal time there is no water, coffee or fruit juice provided, yet you can have vodka for free with your breakfast! Staff clearing plates made a lot of noise banging plates and cutlery, when asked “would you like us to leave”? One said yes -That was 45 minutes before the end of breakfast! Those staying in most rooms are charged extra for the use of the safe, even in our premium room the tea, coffee and milk is not replaced by room service. There are three lifts, one had a service sticker from last July, but several indicator lights do not work. One lift stops 2 inches short of the floor creating a trip hazard. In many places the floor tiles are lifting. It is not a trip hazard, but just shows the lack of attention that the whole place needs. The location is the only good thing about the hotel.

Having read a number of reviews some sound unfairly harsh now we've just returned from a week stay there. Ok - it's a 3 star at best, not 4 star, and it's a little tired in places, that's the first comment. However it's fabulous value for money, the location couldn't be better in terms of being right in the middle of cafes/bars/lido and right next to coach/bus drop off point. The food (half board) choice was excellent, the odd items were warm rather than red hot but a varied selection every morning and night. Drinks were cheap with meals and in the bar. The staff were great, always smiling and friendly. We are very happy with our stay and would happily return in future. The place was spotless and we never saw any litter or cig butts around the pool etc. Noise- seen this mentioned in some complaints, yes there is music from the bar next door but it ended at 10.30pm and we had zero noise in the night. Well done to all the staff for a good job in a very busy hotel, it really made it a great holiday, will be back next year!

Basic rooms but very clean. TVs in the room were good. No kettle or anything but only €2 for a coffee from the bar. Breakfast was very good, everything you can imagine to eat. Fresh towels every day, great pool, €3.50 for draught Heineken.

The hotel is in a brilliant location, handy for everything. Room was a good size but very plain with no character. Bathroom not good - gaps around bath seal, shower curtain too long (i nearly fell when it wrapped around my feet), bath poorly painted in places, and hairdryer cord too short. I had to squeeze between the toilet (which it was above) and counter top to use it. Restaurant and pool area adequate, all staff nice. General decor is tired and reception could look more welcoming. Extremely disappointed no courtesy room available. Surely such a large hotel should have a room put aside for guests with a late check out time. We were told to get changed in the toilets!

I booked a room with a sea view and breakfast a month ago. When I arrived, I got a room on the third floor with a view of the trees, if you want to see the sea you have to lean over the railings, when I asked to change to a room with a sea view, they said that the hotel is full for the next five days. Breakfast is good enough and I really have no complaints about the staff.
