Castello d'Empuries Vacations from $975

Our 4 day stay was overall a good one. It was a great location, with plenty to see, shop, and eat nearby. Our room faced the inside courtyard, fortunately, and was therefore pretty quiet. I was a bit concerned for the street noise, but we lucked out. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was modern. There were some quirks that would've made our stay a bit nicer. 1. The shower door leaked very badly, making the floor by the sink constantly wet and with a very wet bath mat. At one point, the hotel said they had run out of replacement towels for the floor, which I assumed was due to similar issues in other rooms. Our friends in another room said they didn't have the issue though, but struggled a bit to open the shower door when it was closed too tightly. 2. Very limited usable outlets for someone not from the EU that needs to use a travel plug adapter. If you need one, it was hard to find an outlet that would allow the bulky size. I was able to get two outlets in an okay location to work though. 3. The window covering is a large, thick wooden panel that expands to completely darken the room. It was a little cumbersome to move things around sometimes to open/close. Regular curtains would've been far simpler. Otherwise, it was a nice stay and I'd consider it again. The staff were very friendly and spoke English very well.

The property is very well located, and the building is well kept. However the staff aside from the people working at the front door, and the bell boys were disinterested and unhelpful.. We had to request three times to have body lotion supplied to the pump beside the bathroom sink, twice to have a box of Kleenex, put into the Kleenex box holder, had to call to the front desk at one point to have our room cleaned at 5 PM since it hadn’t been cleaned at all that day. The rooftop Terrace has a beautiful view however, the best seats aren’t kept for guest of the hotel. People are coming in off the street and using it as a place to take selfies so when we as hotel guest went to use it, there were no tables and we had to wait for about an hour for a table.

The staff was so helpful with the ridiculous amount of luggage we had! They were kind welcoming and were eager to help! Great location in Barcelona! We will be back
