Vall d'Alba Vacations from $397

Swimming pool was not available despite it being included in the booking. Apparently the pool is not available until 1st June (summer season) even though our final day was 31st May. Also the fridge did not work in the room and they couldn't fix it either.

Location is excellent with easy access to bus and restaurants. Room is large and bright and comfortable. Breakfast was lacklustre. Menu is unchenged for our 4 days stay, ost disappointing is the dry quiche with undercooked potato masquerading as Spanish potato omlette, a popular breakfast item throughout Spain, Assortment of menu items is not generrous. For some reason, the faucets in the tub and wash basin are both loose.

The gym was a mini-gym; only dumbbells, a treadmill, exercise bike and kettle bells. It would have been hugely beneficial to at least have a bench. I was not informed prior to arrival, either whern booking or even days before that the pool would not be available, and had to ask at reception if I could use it before I was told it would not be possible. In addition, I booked a double room which ended up as two twin beds. The breakfast range could have been better (and warmer). However, the staff were very friendly upon arrival, and everyday upon returning to the room, the room was clean with fresh towels.

Excellent staff and great breakfast

Excellent reception experience. Great rooftops bar and pool. Breakfast had lots of choice, very good quality, and good value. Big room with views over the city. Only issue was the lack of hot water in the shower.
